this fall, though no record of sale by
Decatur to Chicago could be found
When Campbell found that he belonged
to the Chicago club he demanded salary

asmuch as the National League con-
tracts rum a month later than those
of the Three T. League.

he had no money coming, as his ser
vices for the season ended at the close
of the Three I" League season. The
player Immediately wrote the commits
sion and demanded that he be declared

catur club and that the Chicago club
had refused to pay salary.

honor to the team and its excellent
management by DR.. H. E. Stephens.
For forty minutes on Tuesday evening

spectators watching the initiative game

valid by the scorer. 1t was decided that
another ten minutes session would be
necessary to settle the winner of the

one more point by the Sans Souci team.

RACING STOPS FOR YEARS
Shutdown May Mean the Closing of All
Tracks for the Next Four Years.

New York, Nov. 4...-Racing in New
York closed today with a program at
Jamaica where the gloom pervading
was a fit indication of the feelings of
the turfmen. Barely five hundred per-
sons shivered in the big stand as win
try blasts swept over the track and
the races We're run in a dead silence,
not even a handicap signalling the
victories in the first few races.
At the end there was a feeble attempt
to raise a sound of applause as tribute
to the outgoing season. but this died
away instantly. Whether the CLOSE to-
day means that racing in New York
is Altogether dead remains to be seen.
Two tracks have announced meets for
next year, but in the meantime there
is a dark outlook for the turf.
Most of the good horses are already
in winter quarters. The result of the
election was manifest in the atmos-
phere which hung over the track and
the cheaper kind of racers will be a
drug on the market. Many owners are
unable TO ship through lack of funds
and are willing to let their horses go
for almost any amount There is
quite an active demand from the mem
bers of various country clubs for thor
oughbreds, to use as hacks and hunters
but this market is necessarily limited

Especial to THE TINES }

East Chicago. Ind, Nov. 5.-Judge
G. f. Reiland will tomorrow try one
of the most peculiar cases ever brought
into a Lake county justice court. Joe
Urbans. resident of the Oklahoma
district, will be arraigned on a charge
of shooting a chicken belonging to one
of his neighbors.
The inoffensive bird crossed Urban's
path just as he stepped from the sixth
precinct polling place Tuesday after
noon. Joe had evidently voted a re-
publican ticket for he drew his revolt
yer and with the words: Rooster no
good" he fired at the chicken. few
eroaks and life was extinct. Joe was
arrested and admitted to bail.
From the appearance of the ballots
returned from the sixth precinct, Ur-
bans was not the only resident who be-
lieved that the rooster was no good
and his punishment will doubtless be
light

INDIANA MAY
HAVE BOXING
Fort Wayne Promoters Sign
Jimmy Gardner and Jack
Morgan to Spar.
HAMMOND MAY GET so ME
Election Thought to Have Made
Revival of Game Possible
This Year.

Indiana will probably get into the
boxing game if dispatches from Fort
Wayne are true. 1t is known that
Lake county promoters, several of them
in Hammond, were looking forward to
the election of Thomas r.. Marshall
with view of opening up the boxing
game in these parts and 1t Is quite
probable that they will make an at
tempt to pull off boxing bouts In Gary
and Hammond shortly.
VIII Box In Fort Wayne.
A Fort Wayne dispatch says: Box
ing is to break from under the lid in
Indiana. Hardly had the echoes OF
the election died away when announce
ment was made that the sport would
open in this city and the first clash is
scheduled for Thanksgiving day be-
tween Jimmy Gardner of Lowell. Mass
and Jack Morgan of Indianapolis
The plan is to have the men meet al
1873 pounds on the afternoon of the
holiday and it is not thought that any
opposition to the match will arise The
political element elected has not ex-
pressed any objection to the game, and
Governor Marshall is known to be wei
disposed toward the sport
Jack Morgan is the hard hitting
boxer whose terrific wallop has result
ed in many a knockout He is regard
ed as coming man, and has strong
local following. Jimmy Gardner
brother of George Gardner, is far bet
ter known, but many think that Nor
gan will afford him surprise.
Promoters here expect to have live
ly season and think that if they pro
coed judiciously there will be no inter.
ference with the contests.

Temperance WORKER
COMES TO GRIEF
Impressed His Arguments
With His Fists and
Is Fined.
WOMAN BROUGHT into CASE
Political Difference of Two Indiana
Harbor People Wind Up in
Judge Reiland's Court.
Especial to THE TIMEs).

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Nov. 5.-Joseph
Stuypka, of Pennsylvania avenue. has
about decided that he is no politician.
Stuypka believes, strange to say, in
the voting Of a prohibition ticket and
on Tuesday attempted to influence the
votes of several Of his friends along
this line. Fortunately. they admired
his courage and took his remarks good
naturedly-but voted the republican
ticket.
About o'clock Stuypka attempted
to get the attention of one John Donna,
a neighbor conferred upon the platform.
Donna, who is a good republican, and
who, it is said had also imbibed sew
eral drinks during the day, resented
this interference with what he believed
his citizens rights" and Immediately
started a fracas. When the dust of
battle cleared away, Donna was arrested
by policeman and brought before
Judge Reiland on charge of assault
and battery. He pleaded guilty and
was fined $3.50.
Woman In the Case.
Donna, however, declared that he
would get even with Stuypka and i'm
mediately resorted to the practice that
Eve. He sought the advice of woman
"a sister-in-l aw-named Mary Pora
| The latter agreed, it seems, to induce
Stuypka to talk on "prohibitionalism
again, and she succeeded admirably
/ The unsuspecting water man" became
so aroused in the course of his perora-
| ton that he struck Miss Pora several
blows about her face and body de-
manding that she use her influence in
| securing votes for his party.
And here the irony of fate entered
and Donna was avenged for the fine i'm
posed against his name. Miss Pora, as
complaining witness. charged Stuypka
with assault and battery, and upon pro-
ducing the evidence that he had struck
| her, the prohibition worker was fined
$3.50. He paid it. but has since re
fused to discuss politician questions with

IF IT'S ADVERTISED IT'S WORTH
LOOKING UP.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-29

Speaking on the question of good roads and the best way to keep them in repair here is given the ex- perience of one locality in Great Britain: The very satisfactory means of obviating the dust nui- sance on motor roads used for the past few years was surface spray of tar, but as this costs about $50 10 $250 per mile Of road sprayed, and at best is but a temporary pal liative treatment rather than a per manent or preserving one, it is be- irg given up and an effort is being made to substitute tar macadam in stead. Tar macadam, it is claimed by some, is destined to solve the entire problem of road construc- tion, and its practical results to date go long way. toward justifying this prophecy. For the best results of this method a coarse or hard porous stone must be used, we'll baked to extract all moisture before mixing with the tar preparation. When mixed it is laid about 5 inches thick upon well-prepared foundation, and when sufficiently rolled it gives smooth surface, a compact body resisting dampness, frost, and hard wear, and as it does not require so much camber to shed water it is con- seuuently a better road to travel over. The cost of tar maeadam, ap- piled to a mile of road 20 feet wide, laid upon a rock bottom works out at about s7,250. Such a piece of roadway should last, l am told, for at least 20 years, at an average cost of s55 per mile per annum for maintenance. As a comparison with the cost of ordinary macadam it is unfortunately high, but 1t is said that in spite of this great difference in cost the use of the tar macadam works out the more economical of the two. The tar macadam costs about 55 cents per square yard.
