WHITING BUSINESS
MEN PLAY BALL
(special to TEE T1MEs.)

Whiting. Ind, June 1.-THE base
ball game between the professional
and business men of Whiting, which
took place on Saturday afternoon at
Forsythe ball park. was a great draw
ing card, The game was full of sur
prises. especially for the business men
who were defeated 16 to Is. At the
beginning of the seventh inning the
score stood Is to : in favor of the
business men. The day being intense
ly warm, it was thought that the 81 eat
difference showed the business men to
be the winners, so they decided to end
the games at the close of the seventh
inning.
The surprise was great, for in the
last inning, the professionals doomed
up, making nine points, bringing the
score up to Is points in their favor,
while the business men had only ff-
teen.
The batteries were G. Krebs and III.

GARY AT TER TITLE GO
National A. G. Would Stage
Papke- Thompson Bout
July 4.

Pugilistfc fans around Chicago may
yet have chance to see a real scrap
on July 4. Enthusiasts were banking
on a Wells-M mcfarland bout to be
staged before the National A. c. at
Gary on independence day and, al
though Mcfarland was willing TO sign
the articles. Wells has not yet come
through with his acceptance.
sam Sax, manager of the Gary club,
has not given up hopes of staging a
big bout next month, though and is
working for a go between Bill Papke
and Cyclone Johnny Thompson for the
Fourth. He wired Papke in England
yesterday offering his terms. Papke
has vowed his intentions of evening
up with Thompson for the defeat in
Australia, and it is thought that the
Gary affair will be arranged. Thomp-
son said yesterday that the terms Of
fered were satisfactory and would sign
for ten round mill with his rival 1t
Is probable that Papke will either an
nounce his acceptance or decline the
offer this week
Work on the big open air arena at
Gary has been started and the struc-
ture will be completed within two or

will seat over 5000 people.

to catching four or five pitchers. so he
would have made slight difference in
the count

was coming and ducked 1t on that ac-
count. Mayhap he read in the paper
what Executive Director Page of the

jected to being labeled a piece of
Junk" At any rate, Killing absented
himself and report says he intends to
make Mr.. Page eat his words before

HAMMOND OFF
THE FIGHT MAP


With Kenosha and Racine, Wis. off
the fight map third town in neighbor-
ing territory was handed a jolt the
other day, and result ii is not
likely that any more bouts will be
staged in Hammond. Ind. The police
commissioners of the Indiana town put
the clamp on. and declare it is there to
stay. Picking of numerous pockets by
the light fingered gentry brought about
the finish. SO successful were the
thieves that they reaped a harvest that
brought them more coin than the fight
ers and promoters drew down.
The fellows with the deft touch seem
to follow the fight game more closely
than the dopesters, and whenever a
special train departs from Chicago to
a neighboring fight they are aboard
with bells on and dead willing to pay
the railway fare. being sure that the
venture will repay them.-Chicago

OIL COMPANY EXPECTS TO
RESUME DRILLING SOON
Promise of Outside Capital Encour-
ages Directors in Plans For Car
rying on Work.

The directors and stockholders of
the Polk County Oil, Gas, Coal &
Land Company are pleased over the
prospect of starting the drill in the
oil we'll on the McBee farm south
west of Dallas. A Washington oil
man has agreed, it is reported, to
lend financial assistance sufficient to
continue the work until it is decid-
ed whether or not there is any oil
to be found in that locality. He is
to take hold Of it as soon as the
stockholders shall have raised $1,000
here. AS much of this money has
already been subscribed by Dallas
business men, it is thought that the
full sum may be obtained by the
first of the new year. In that case
it is expected to begin as soon as
possible thereafter.
At regular meeting of the board
of directors held recently, it was
voted to raise the price of shares
from 10 cents to 25 cents each. The
increase will become effective De-
cember 30.
