BIG CRUISE AND
REGATTA TODAY
Yachts Will Race at Jack
son Park and Will Run
to Sturgeon Bay.
BOTH ARE IMPORTANT EVENTS
Sailing Contest Will Give Real Line
on the Candidates Who Will
Participate for Lipton's Cup.

Two big events will occupy the at
tention of local yachtsmen and power
boat men today. A o'clock this morn
ing the first craft of the sixteen en-
tered in the Columbia Yacht club
cruising power boat race to Sturgeon
bay will leave the harbor for the north
ward run. while 2:30 will see the start
of the Jack Park clubs open regatta,
in which practically every racing yacht
in the Chicago fleet has been entered.
Both fixtures are important. as the
first should decide the question of the
relative ability of several crack power
cruisers which will make their initial
long distance runs, and the latter will
afford the first real line on eight of the
twenty-one footers which next month
race for the Upton club. The power
boat race will be run in three daylight
relays. with overnight stopping points
at Milwaukee and Manitowoc, the con-
testants starting on each leg of the race
in the same order as they finish on the
preceding day.

West Side. and Oak Park Y. NJ. c. A.
branches participated in the trials held
at Marshall field for the purpose of Sc
lecting the squad to carry the packet

Evanston secured the principal honor
when r. E. Locke was selected to re-
ceive the silver tube al South Bend
from the last runner of that station.
Locke ran the mile in 500 80, which
was five seconds better than the time
made by Levinson of West Side
Kirk Sullivan of Oak Park, who was
also chosen for the quarter mile team
last Wednesday, won the right to be
the second man to take charge of the
message and will receive it at the out
skirts of South Bend. He was the half
mile in 2:21.
The names of the boys who will re-
lay the message all the way have not
been decided upon as yet, due to the
large number who have applied for po-
sitions on the team.

Hegewisch, July 16, 1908.
Sporting Editor Dear Sir
Please say that in answer to the re-
printed in your paper severely arraign-
ing US for our conduct and our faciness
at our grounds, we wish to say that
the conduct and behavior of the rooters
for the Blissmer Colts was unsports-
manlike, uncivil and more like the
by the r-indulgence in intoxicants.
The insOlence practised by the female
rooter (sad to state), was something
that would not look we'll in print
AS for unfairness. called cheating by
the Blissmers, we. the Hegewisch boys,
can oily say that according to the I'M
biased opinion of all the game could
not have been more fair The rooters
for the Blissmer Colts were repeatedly
requested to stand back from the first
base line without the least movement
on their part.
Should any Hammond team desire a
game with the Hegewisch team, the
Hegewisch team will be exceedingly
pleased to administer another drub-
bling to any team in Hammond that
can consider itself our equal at the mu-
nicipal grounds at Calumet Park. OF

second and Haresnape of the United

first win of the meeting. L. G. Rich of
the Brookline Swimming club failed
to show his expected form in the final,
although winning his heat.
J. D. Lightbody of the c. A. A. and
University of Chicago lost his heat in
the 3.200-meter steeple chase, but this
is not surprising. as he recently slipped
and threw out his kneecap. He was in
no shape to make the final sprint.

THE RAID TOOK PLACE
Especial to The Times.)

Whiting. Ind. July 18.-The raid on
Whiting saloons which was reported in
THE TINES yesterday. took place on
schedule time and as result three of
the men for whom warrants were is
sued were compelled to furnish $500
bonds in lieu of going to prison.
The raid was made by Deputy Sheriff
James frost. who had been provided
with four warrants. The warrants
had been issued for Joe Pruss, Frank
Scher, John Roller and Adam Dudeck.
All of the arrests were made except in
the case Of John Roller, who was out of
the city.
The men were arrested on the charge
of running a saloon without a county
license. This is the second offence for
all those arrested and is is probably
that they may be given more than a
minimum fine.
The complaint was made by James NJ
Smith OF Whiting, who has been rep
resenting the anti-saloon element OF
the city The second raid came as a
surprise to the people of Whiting and
to the men themselves. 1t makes the
situation so far as the temperance

Tinker's mighty drive was delivered
