WOMAN
IS GROUND
: To DEATH

It.Is reported here that a woman was
killed on the Calumet Terminal railroad
az Stony Island. Her death is believed
to have been suicidal. The engine
which struck her was No. 11s, and a
man by the name of Co1owiteh. who
lives on the north side, Hammond, was
fireman.
The fatality happened this mornig.
Mr.. Colowitch says that he saw the
woman standing near a signal target
and observed that she was not on the
track or apparently in danger of being
struck.
Just as the engine approached her
she sprang forward and the wheels
mangled her body fearfully. The iden-
THY OF the woman is not known. She
was taken to a nearby morgue.

Blanden a Star.
Mr.. Leander Blanden is really a star.
In fact, IL was a surprise to many the
atergoers last night that man OF his
ability should content himself with
stock company attractions.
But 1t is Mr.. Blanden's purpose to
demonstrate Just what can be done to
raise the standard OF repertoire COM
panies. Consequently, he has secured
the best of plays, all OF which are pro-
auctions upon which he is compelled to
pay a royalty. and he has a supporting
company that is capable Of making the
most of them.
The Blanden Stock company does not
use the old house scenery, but carries

Club Has New Lockers.

The members Of the Hammond Ath-
letic club are rejoicing over the Install
alton of seventy-two new oak lockers
in the ciubroems. The lack OF lockers
has been felt during the early period
of the clubs organization and now that
the boys can each have a place to put
their athletic equipment that they are
all pleased.
It is expected that a much larger
number of members will participate in
the gym drills now that they can all
have lockers. The convenience for the
members OF the football team and the
basketball teams witt be of inestim-
able value.

BRANDENBURG
Offers TRUCE

St Louis. April 29.-Although Mrs.
Minnie Leonard Cabanne- -Branden-
burg wired from New York to
Broughton Brandenburg, in jail at
San Francisco, Don't give up the
baby" a dispatch received here today
says the writer has changed his plans
and has decided that, under certain
conditions. he will permit James
Shepard Cabanne to take the latter's
7-year- old son back to St Louis with
out a contest
One OF these conditions IS that the
mother be permitted to have the child
during his vacation periods and at
other reasonable times.
Brandenburg had determined to put
up a bitter fight for the custody of
the boy. and had instructed his uncle.
Charles Broughton Curtis, who came
to this city from Los Angeles. to take
the initial steps. But Curtis became
suddenly i'll. and Brandenburg. after
long conference with his counsel,
Jacob Meyer, announced his change of

land. There was q great hue and cry
about this verdict, and, according TO
all accounts. Welsh got the worst OF It..
There was an odd agreement on the
weighing-in time for this fight. Al
though the fight didn't start until 10
o'clock at night, Mcfarland insisted
on weighing in at O'Clock in the
morning. He made 13s pounds then,
to Welsh's i2s, and by ring time Pack
ey weighed all OF IA.
Weish's greatest victory I'm this
country was won over Abe Attell at
Los Angeles, when he clearly beat the
featherweight champion all the way in
a fifteen round bout. Just to show he
is a little fellow Welsh made h26
pounds for this fight. Atten weighed
in with his trousers and shirt on and
made the weight easily, and then
Welsh jumped on the scales stripped
and surprised Attell and everybody
else.
Attell had often tried to explain his
defeat by Welsh by saying the rain
which fell during the bout mad the
ring slippery. so that he couldn't bring
his footwork into play, but as Welsh
remarks, the floor was slippery for
him, too. Welsh believes he can beat
Attell any time. because he says he
has height and reach on him.

DIAMOND STARS
DRAW Big CHECKS

Big Ed. Walsh, the white sox spit
ball artist, is back In the fold, after
throwing a big scare into the Chicago
fans. Walsh was holding out for q
$500 salary. Whether or not he got
it, he and only few others know. But
his case incites discussion of the ques-
tion what a pitcher of his ability is
worth to the management.The chances
are that Walsh's ability will win ball
games meant several times $500 to
the owner of the white sox team last
year but does 1t follow that Walsh
should be paid $500?
What is a top notcher like Walsh
really worth when it comes right down
to brass tacks? What percentage of
the money that his name and prestige
draw through the turnstiles should a
player receive In compensation? That
depends. The player thinks he should
get at least half. The club owner must
view the situation from another angle.
Without taking away from the base
ball stars glory, the owner of a big
league club could very easily explain
why he should have to turn down de-
mand for salary of $500 in the case
of Ed. Walsh or $4,000 In the case of
Mike Donlin.
In the first place, 1t would wreck the
ball club, for every other player would
go on strike in holy minute. One
player has to be paid in certain pro-
portion to what his team mates get.
BY paying the men like Lajoie, Cobb,
Walsh and Donlin in proportion to the
amount Of money they draw through
the gates the salary list OF the ball
club would soon be away above any
reasonable limit and club owner
wouldn't be able TO get just return
on the money invested: In fact, he
would go broke.
Public In the Dark.
The public never has had very
clear idea of Just what the ball players
receive In their envelopes on the first
and fifteenth of every month from
April until October. Many think that
every well-known player gets at least
$4,000, and that the most famous stars
draw down from $4,000 to $4,000 and
the pubiic's sympathy has all been
with the player until very lately. There
have been so many phoney hold outs,
retirementa and threats to Jump to the
outlaw league by players who never In
tended to do anything but jump right
into the band wagon when the proper
time came that the dear old public has
switched its sympathy quite a
chunk of tito the club owners. who
have outgrown the position of slave
owners and barterers in human chat
tels,'
still others think the players are do

Welsh WAS Isl ALNAY " .
HIS own MANAGER

Freddie Welsh, the English light
weight, is a rare example of boxing
instructor who has made good in the
ring. Boxing instructors seldom
amount to anything when it comes
down to real fighting. AS a rule, they
are fighters first and afterwards in
structors, Mike Donovan, the old-time
for instance,
Welsh came over here from England
some years ago without pugilistic as
pirations but with the idea of going
into the gymnasium or physical cul-
ture business. He settled in Phila-
delphia and for two months instructed
the few that came his way. There
wasn't much money in that game and
naturally he joined the army of pre-
liminary boys who make their head
quarters in the slow town fight clubs.
HeS got his first match finally and won
by the good old knockout route in
three rounds. That bout made him,
and before long he got chance with
the star bouters, Matty Baldwin,
Young Erne, Tommy Love, Hook Keys
and the others. None of them ever
beat him. He went west then and
fought anybody and everybody.
