Series.

Further evidence that Noisy john
King this year came last night when
Claude Johnson of Kansas City, Kings
partner in the City baseball league
venture in that town, offered to ex-
change games with the Chicago base
ball league. The offer included the
services of King as the catcher of the
Missouri semi-pro team. which should
definitely settle all questions as to
whether the great catcher would re-
join the worlds champions
Kings offer was discussed at the
Chicago league meeting yesterday, but
the local semi-pros baked at the pro-
posaI to fly in the face of organized
ball by booking games with him. The
matter was finally laid over until the
next meeting. The chances are that
King will be seen in Chicago this sum-
mer as a semi-pro, If not as a member
Of the worlds champions. The local
clubs will play games with King in
Kansas City If games with Noisy

SOX SLAUGHTERED BY
TIGERS IN FINAL GAME
Champions Maui Fiene's and
Sutor's Curves for Six
teen Hits.

Detroit, April 1S.-Frightful was the
slaughter By a mercfless assault on
Ffenes curves, followed by an attack
on Sutors left handed slants, the cham
pion Tigers clawed those Sox for the
third straight time yesterday at Ben
nett Park, 10 to 2. The games which
went before were trifies when COM
pared to that yesterday afternoon. For
the Tigers lassoed sixteen hits and the
Sox bobbled four times.
In one respect the Sullivan kids
showed an improvement in hitting.
Seven safe lulus looked somewhat bet
ter, but their play in the field was not
of that sparkling nature which brought
them the league and worlds pennant
some years back. This was partially
due to the luck which broke against
them continuously. Not once did things
go right for Fiene. Surely a sad tale.
1t seemed that the Tigers could hit
anything. When they once got started,
and it was early in the meeting, they
couldn't stop. 1t was one ofFthose days
when Cobb or Crawford would have
made a single with toothpick The
ball wouldn't roll foul. Fiene gave all
he had, and ordinarily it would have
been enough for most teams.

wind-up after Tom Needham had clout-

LA VENDORS Of WHITING WILL
NOT CHANGE THEIR NAME

Whiting. Ind, April 1.-THE mem
bers of the whiting baseball team, who
were known as the La Vendors during
the past few years but who decided to
change their name to the Whiting
Grays, at meeting about one week

at which time the final steps for re-

When the account of the last meet

THE TIMES, Ed Simon of Hammond was
much surprised to learn that the team
had decided to change its name from
the La Vendors to the Whiting Grays.
and the news did not prove favorable
to him. In an effort to see what could
be done. Mr.. Simon communicated with
the boys, offering them great induce

change their name, At the meeting
last night this question was taken up,
and thinking that the benefits they
would reap by advertising Simon's La
Vendor cigars would pay them to re-
tain their old name. it was decided to
continue to travel under the name OF
