Wells's successive defeats of KNOCK
Out Brown and the featherweight
champion puts him right in line to
meet AID Wolgast and Packey McFar-
land. Indeed, it would appear that
Wolgast will have to defeat Wells be-
fore being able to lay claim to the
worlds championship title.
Freddy Welsh was conceded the
championship of Great Britain a year
or so ago, but last spring was defeat
ed for the title at the National Sport
ing Club by Matt Wells. This natur-
ally brought new champion into the
field, as far as Great Britain was con-
cerned, and until Wolgast defeats the
recognized champion of that country
he cannot we'll claim the champion
ship of the world.

A REMARKABLE TENNIS PLAYER

Chronicles Melville Long, who re-
turned from the East the first of the
week, had considerable to say regard
ing the ability of William A. Larned,
the national tennis champion. Larned,
according to Long is the greatest
player The world ever saw. He has
nothing on Mclaughlin in the matter
of strokes, but his steadiness and ey-
perience carry him through his
matches.
Asked as to Larneds style, Long
had the following to say: "Larned is
a wonder. You know he is no longer
a young player. He has been at the
game nineteen years now and in that
time he has perfected every stroke
known to the game. In addition he is
a great general. He has all of Nc
Loughlin's strokes, but he knows
how to use them to better advan.-
age.
Right at the start of the season
Larned outgeneraled all of us by not
taking part in the minor tourna-
ments. We figured that it would be
good practice to take in these minor
championship events and when it
came time for the Newport we were
about all in. When ! lost to Nat Niles
at Newport | did not care much when
| went into the match whether ! won
OF not.

RECORD LENGTH BASEBALL GAMES

The game at Sacramento comes
within two innings of being the long
est professional baseball game on rec.
ord. The record of the longest game
ever played is said to be a thirty
inning contest at Cleveland on July
4, 1907, by two amateur teams. The
Sacramento-Portlan game yesterday
is entitled to be called the longest
game ever played on the Coast, be-
cause the twenty-four-inning game ct
Oakland between the Seals and Oaks
was broken up in the last inning, when
two men were out, while the Sacra-
mento game went the full twenty-four
innings. The record of long games

Mclaughlin was far worse than !
was. He did stay out of two or three
tournaments because the heat was too
much for him. He was in the best
form of the Coast players, but the
strain of the earlier events told on
him.
Barring the Seabright tournament
which l won Larned did not play in
an important tournament during the
season. All the time he was practic-
ing though and not OVERRIDING it. The
consequence was that as usual he was
right at the top of the game when
the challenge match was scheduled.
There was no chance for Mclaughlin
to win from him nor will there be
for the next year or two at least I'M
less Larned loses much of his pres
est ability"

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL,

Indianapolis. Ind May s.-Something
of a political sensation has been caus-
ed here by the publication of state
ment written by A. r Geisert, OF
Lawrenceburg. in which Geisert says
that the attack which he made on Elan
H. Neal, collector of internal revenue
for the Sixth district of Indiana was
not warranted. Geisert filed charges
against Neal with the commissioner of
internal revenue and those charges are
still pending against him at Washing
ton, no decision ever having been an
nounced by the department.
he fact that charges were pending
against Neal became a large factor in
the fight for the appointment of
United States marshall for Indiana. and
Thereby they became of state wide in
terest
Last September Geisert, who was an
employe under Neal in the revenue
office at Lawrenceburg. made a speech
at national convention of revenue
officers at Cincinnati. in which he de-
nounced Neal for alleged discrimination
and favoritism in making assignments
OF the men to their duties. 1t was a
red hot speech and attracted consider
able attention. AS a result of the
speech Neal filed charges against
TGeisert, charging characterization
Geisert's answer to the charges was q
set of counter charges against Neal, in
which he set out the things he had said
In his Cincinnati speech and a number
of other things. 1t Is understood that
Gcisert was censured for the speech
he made but he was not dismissed from
the service. He will be transferred to
other duty in the service, 1T Is said.
Nothing has ever been done with the
charges against Neal.
When 1t was announced several
months ago that Harry B. Petit. Unit
ed States marshal, would not take an
other term in the Office there was a
large outpouring of candidates for the
place. Among them was Edwin M. Lee.
Republican state chairman. Lee had
the active support of Senator Bevcr-
