LIVINGSTON IS ALSO HURT
Especial to THE TIMEsl

East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 1.-TWO
Hammond boys were hurt In football
game here yesterday. East Chicago
played a fast game of football yester-
day afternoon at Sayv1hiI park, when
they defeated the oxford A. ca a Chi
cago organization, by score of 10 o.
The score was made on a safety and
was safely covered by the Omnipresent
ever-efHcient East Chicago fuIl-back,
Pat McShane, who has proven himself
hero in more than one local gridirOn
battle.
The oxford Athletic club probably
derived tehir name from the OK, for
they were as strong as a team of husky
animals and weighed at least 90 pounds
more than did the East Chicago lads
who maintained an averge weight OF
only lao pounds The game was called
about o'clock by Timer Tom Butler
and for almost an hour, several hun
dred spectators witnessed a splendid
fight for gridiron supremacy.
Hurt In Early Part of Game.
In the first five minutes of play
Robert Wartena. plucky right-end
for the East Chicago Tigers, suffered
n severe dislocation of the shoulder
bones. and was removed from the game
Wartena was taken to DR.. A. G
Schlieker's office where the bone wa:
reset and he expressed a desire to re
turn to the game. He was not per
mitted to do so, however. and through
out the game, he raced impatiently from
one end of the field to the other.
| Livingston Also Injured.
| Livingston, right tackle on the loca
team also met with slight injuries dur
| ing a scrimmage and had to be takeI
from the field. He would not permit
local physician, 1t is said, to investi
| gate the extent of his injuries declar
ing that he preferred to wait until hi
home in Hammond was reached and
family physician consulted.
The ball was in East Chicago's pos
session nearly all the time. and NOR
than once the Tigers were within tel
feet of their opponents goal. Stern
berg of Indiana Harbor, played an ex
ceilent game, his place and drop kick
ing being one of the many excellen
features of the afternoon. On one oc
casion. in particular. he barely misse
a goal while kicking from the SIS
yard line. Captain Hascall attribute
the loss of their game quarter back
who apparently had no knowledge o
the proper plays to use on certain oc
casions. The game was one in whfc
the forward pass was used to a grea
extent resembling, as one player terse
ly said "a rough and tumble basket
ball game"
The lineup of the local team was a
follows: L. E.. Sneddeno: !. t., Nc
Kenna; |. e., Stirling: center. Doug
las. zimmerman; r. G.. French; R. T
Livingston. Huwig; r. E.. warten-
q. b., James McShane; !. h., Melvi

"CENsoRIzED" BOUTS PLANNED
Milwaukee Promoters Discussing Box
ing on the Eastern System.

Milwaukee, Oct. 11.-Boxing may be
resumed in this city under the cen
sorized' system. if plans of the pro-
moters do not miscarry. AS COM
promise with the governors attitude,
it has practically been decided not to
open for some time, but later to at
tempt the game under methods similar
to those prevailing in the east.
Just whether boxing bouts will be
permitted before bona fde athletic club
remains to be seen. The governors
order to Sheriff Knelf was to stop
prize lighting The Milwaukee Attn
letic club has it's regular boxing show
set for Oct. 81 and the Eagles have
some bouts scheduled for the benefit
Of the order alone. Neither organiza-
ton has yet called off the programs,
the members of the Milwaukee Ath-
letic club saying that it Is ridiculous
to class amateur goes as prize fights.
1t is suggested that six or ten rounds
bouts be held without decisions, as are
those of New York and Philadelphia.
This. it is thought. will keep within
the law. But for the present it is in
tended TO drop the game altogether SO
far as the big clubs are concerned.
c. B. Willis, who led the fight on
boxing, says that he is not antagonistic
to Sunday baseball, but that he OPP
poses boxing as demoralizing. Critic
ism caused by the barring of capable
refree simply because he handed down
an honest decision, has caused some
distrust of the game in quarters where
formerly it was tolerated.

ANDERSON AFTER BOUT
Hammond Pugilist Reads
Times Challenge and
Gets Busy.

c. E. Baker. of this city. who is act
ing in the capacity of manager for
Carl Anderson in his pugilistic enter
prises. has heard that Bill Frazier has
declared his ability to put Anderson in
the down and out class. Mr.. Baker
read Frazier's challenge in THE TIMES.
Baker and Anderson haven't anything
to say about the respective merits of
the two boxers except that they are
willing to put up 5000 cold cash against
Fraziers 5000 that Anderson can put
an end to Frazier's pugilistic ambi-
tons
Andersons manager agrees to pull
off the fight in West Hammond be-
fore crowd or in private. he does not
care which. 1t is now up to Frazier
to come over with the cash or keep
still. according to Mr.. Baker.
Baker will receive all communica-
lions at his address in 40 Holman
street. Hammond, Ind, or he will talk
business at any time with the repre-
sentatives of Mr.. Frazier.

NO MORE GLOOM AT ANN ARBoR.
Michigan Students Not Downcast Over
Result of VI. A. c. Game.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct 11.-When the
o-to-0 score was flashed into Ann Arbor
last night from the Michigan Agri-
cultural college. thousands of students
could not or refused to believe it.
Michigan. for years the school that had
only been satisfied with an overwhelm-
ing majority, had been virtually whip
ped by a state college. This feeling
lasted until detailed reports were read
this morning. Now the gloomy atmos-
phere has been nearly blown away.
They clearly outplayed u.s." said
Trainer Fitzpatrick, and if they had
had a better punter we should have
been whipped. Allerdice outkicked
their man about thirty yards on each
exchange. and this fact. together with
the failure in the six attempts at the
goal from the field, tells why NJ. A. c.
did not score Our line was a sieve on
the left wing, and they went through
it at will. The strong back field could
not get away with the formations. and
all of the new style of play was broken
up
Yost has not yet returned from
Lansing. but it is known that there
will not be a wholesale shaking of the
squad for the Notre Dame game. The
reason is that he now has all of the
available material with the exception
of Captain Schulz, Casey and Dawson.

LOWEll'S CHAM IONS
Laporte Gets It's Hide Tan
ned by Lake County
Boys.
ISnecial to The T1MEsl

Lowell, Ind, Oct. 12.-Laporte was
skinned yesterday by Lowell and her
hide hangs to a hickory tree on the
outskirts of town.
The great baseball game between
Laporte and Lowell on the home
grounds Sunday is now a matter of
record and the home boys are the
victors by great odds and the undis-
puted champions of northern Indiana.
The boys from Mrs. Guinness town only
got two men over the home plate, but
would have been handed a shut-out
had the locals played for the batter,
instead of playing for the base runner
and letting in the two runs on a bad
throw to home which was one of only
two errors made by Lowell, but it
would not have looked good to have
treated the visitors all goose eggs.
Laporte may be good ball players but
in this game it looked to the three
hundred fans like they were playing
out their class and the question is now
ask 'if Laporte did beat the great Chi
ca go Gunthers, what would Lowell do to
the Gunthers."

SECOND RACE DREAM
Laporte Capitalists Propose
to Establish Track on
State Line.

Another racing dream was sprung
yesterday when announcement was
made that the same syndicate which
proposed starting a track near New
Buffalo, Mich, had decided to open a
course next season exactly on the state
line between Michigan and Indiana
and to hold a meeting early next
spring.
Political opposition. it is said, caused
the hitch in the New Buffalo scheme.
state line it is thought a situation can
ference until the costs of the plant, at
least, are recouped.
Capitalists at Iaporte, Ind, the
same as those who proposed building
an electric line to the New Buffalo
site. have been interested in the new
idea 1t is said that many Michigan
politicians became incensed at the
thought that the Tammany delegation
of New York. especially big Tim
Sullivan. should invade their district
and propose to have eastern capital
control the course there. This. it is
said, caused local capital TO look ask
ance upon the venture.
Just what idea of evading the laws
exists in the minds of the present pro-
moters. by placing the track on the
state line, is not known. When racing
was wiped out in Missouri. in the
spring of 1905, the Adler TITLES
confederacy attempted to operate Del
mar on the plea that although the
track itself was in st. Louis. the bet
ting ring was across the line in ST
Louis county With the officials of the
county we'll disposed toward the game
they thought there would be no in
reference.
Governor Folk solved the question
by sending the city police into the
county.

the local high school suffered defeat
by score of 10 to 0. Ineligibility on

WHITING TEAM WINS
Local Star Will Play With
The First Regiment
Football Team.
Especial to THE TIMES. )


whiting, Ind, Oct 12.-The first
played by the Whiting high school
took place Saturday afternoon when
the freshman and sophmore teams,
accompanied by a bunch of rooters,
journeyed to East Chicago where they
met the freshman and sophomore
teams of the sister city, at Sawmiii
park.
The Whiting boys having had very
little practice, had little hopes of win
ming, but much to their surprise they
fairly swamped their opponents by a
score of 81 to IL.
The game was marked by many brill
liant plays, every man playing gilt
edged ball.
The interference of the Whiting boys
was surprising, and they constantly
made large gains through and around
the East Chicago lines. Much rivalry
was shown between the two teams and
to the regret of all concerned much
wrangling took place. Although the
East Chicago team took the defeat very
much to heart it is to be expected for
they boasted of their intention to
slaughter the innocents and roll up
a goodly score on the unsupported
green and white enthusiasts. To
sum up the affair East Chicago played
good game but were outclassed.
The lineup for both sides is as fol-
lows:
