HUNDRED
FLOCK TO HUB
FROM GARY

Today is Gary day at Crown Point.
Dozens of people hocked to the county
seat this morning in the cold chilly
rain, for divers reasons the majority
or them to secure renewal of their
saloon licenses, but others as wit
nesses in the indictment cases which
came up in the circuit court today.
1t is estimated that over 100 saloon
men and their attorneys are present at
the meeting of the county commission
ers today. The crowd left this morning
on interurbans, trains and by automo-
biles, and today the city seems almost
deserted. Although fifty remonstrances
have been filed against Gary saloon
men, they are hoping that there will be
some way to overcome the technicali-
ties and they will be able to secure Ii
censes.
A year ago today there was Just as
much excitement at Crown Point. 1t
was then that the county commission
ers granted 13S licenses from Calumet
township after period of two years in
which Gary was dry.
Messrs. w. H. Mathews and Otto J.
Bruce, representing the Anti-Saloon
League, have rolled up their sleeves to-
day and are prepared to wade into the
fray, and are just as anxious to defeat
the saloon men as ever There are 40
who will apply for IL
ceflse today.

INVADING

Special to THE TrMEs.l

East Chicago. May 1.-The first box
Ing exhibition given under the auspices
of the Coliseum Athletic association at
the Lewis rink Saturday night, was a
| success, although there was not so
large crowd as was looked for. This
was due to two causes In the first
place Mike Cantweu one of the princi-
pals in the main event had been seen
the night before in Racine where he
took part in preliminary bout, and
this deadened interest in him. In the
second place something went wrong
and there was no special train to con.

fans who were waiting in the Chicago
depot, to East Chicago
Cantwell made good showing. win
ning over Ed Herman of Iowa in the
third round.
There were no knockouts. Chief Of
Police Lewis tipping it off to the ref
erees that these features were not
wanted in East Chicago if they could
be avoided. The chiefs action met
with general approval
In the first round Herman showed
up pretty well, but after a few punches
Cantwell had him at his mercy Iker-
man seemed in poor condition, al
though physically fine looking sneci
men, nor did he give evidence of pos
sessing the necessary science to handle
his opponent had he been in better
shape
He had been touted before the ex-
hibition as the white mans hope" but
he fell down on the job last night and
ceased for the time bning at least to be
anybody's hope.
When Herman slipped off his bath
robe CT
fighting trim, his appearance created
something of a sensation He was tat
tooed all over his breast, arms and one
leg. which caused a spectator in tho
crowd to yell at Sig Hart. who was in
Cantwell's corner Don't let your man
get view of that landscape, or IL NAV
get him confused
In action. Herman was like a NOV
ing picture show
Cantwell did not stack up alongside
Herman in height, nor in length of
reach, but he was there with the sci |
ence of boxing, and his stocky build |
end iron muscles helped him in stand |
ing up under punishment and it was
soon evident that Herman had moth
ing on his adversary by reason of what /
at first sight had appeared to be his /
advantages of physique. Cantwell,
after short season of rather brilliant
boxing on the part of Herman. began |
to put it all over the rapidly fading
hope" and in the third round he sue
ceeded twice in knocking down his adj
versary. 1t was so evident that Iker
man had no chance after that. that
Walter Eckersall, the referee for this
event. called the bout off during the
third round
Chief Lewis was on hand with a
force OF officers to see that everything
was conducted as 1t should be, and
there seemed no inclination to other
