LEAGUE STANDINGS

Gary leads the league.
In pitchers duel at the H. A. A.
park yesterday afternoon a crowd of
fully 1900 fans saw the last years
pennant winners come back, showing
Hammond back into second place.
while Gary climbed into the lead by
a margin of half a game. Manager
Keiser's warriors won the combat dur
ing hour and fifty minutes of play
which spanned the hard fought bat
tie, during which time was crowded
full of JOY gloom, base hits, superb
twirling by both slab artists and a
sensational finish by Crown Point the
final score resulting to L.
Both Henning and Bergman were in
their best form and for eight innings
they fed their opponents doses of
whitewash. allowing only two hits
apiece Air tight ball was the motto
of both twirlers and as a result there
were no covers knocked off the balls.
Several times the bases were filled
with only one man down. but Henning
and Bergman each demonstrated that
they could pitch themselves out of a
| hole and did 1t in easy fashion They
| simply had the hickory wielders at

two base hit and bingle apiece.
| There was nothing that had the re-

error made by Bergwald brought IN

was another pitchers battle and uI
to the ninth stanza both sides failed to
connect with the sphere.
Things did not look very bright OIL
encouraging for Crown Point and they

evened up matters. and with another

There were several decisions mad,

Light WEIGHTS TO
REPLACE "HEAv|ES'

Lightweights are billed to take the
place of the Johnson-Jeannette battle
which Billy Gibson attempted to sign
for New York Labor day. The negro
champion was so unreasonable when
Gibson tried to talk business that the
promoter left for Gotham in disgust,
instructing Emil Thirty to sign up AID
Wolgast and Packey Mcfarland for
the Labor day card IL that be possible.
Wolgast rolled into Chicago as Glib
son steamed out, but eluded the anx-
ious Thirty during the greater part OF
the night and then would not say any
thing definite about taking on Packey
Labor day. Gibson before he left as
sured Thirty that the lightweight af-
fair was the card wanted in New York
and not the negro battle. and added
that wolgast and Mcfarland could
pull a $4,000 house If they meet in
Madison Square Garden.
Thirty said that Mcfarland would
make 1913 five hours before the fight
for Wolgast and would bet all he has
that Wolgast would noy be In the
running at the finish Packey figures
that he stop the lightweight IT,
tie holder and Thirty is anxious to get
the arrangements completed.
wolgast signed to ameet Mcfarland
about this time last year and, as In
the case now, he was alone, his man
ager, Tom Jones, being on the coast
then as we'll now. Packey's man
ager thinks he can do business with
1volgast a lot easier than with Jones
around and is confident that the cham
pion will sign up today before he
leaves for Cadillac, Mich, where he
| expects to spend the rest of the sum-
mer.
! Gibson limited that Johnson was
/ afraid to meet Jeanette and only held
out for q $4,000 purse that he might
get out of such a battle. 1t is said
that johnson received by $4,000 and
an l. o. u. for $4,000 for his affair with
Flynn. and if this be true it looks un-
! reasonable for him to demand such a
sum for ten-round no-decision bat
tie johnson has met Jeanette seven
| times and should know the ability of
| his colored friend" by this time.
Wolgast said last night that he
| thought he was entitled to guaran-
| tee of $4,000 to meet Mcfarland, and,
although Thirty did not agree to this.
it is thought Gibson named that fig
ure as the highest price he would
meet for the champions service Thirty
| was authorized to offer Wolgast s15,-
600 for his end. and If wolgast shook
| his head. then the wires were to be
used to New York and the $4,000 add

"oNE-THIRD OF A CENTURY"
F. w. Woolworth Co. Hold Great Sale
in Their 6l7 Stores.

! In celebration of thirty three and one.
third years of successful business en-.
terprise, the 6l7 stores of H. w. Wool.
worth CO., situated in all of the principal
cities of the United States and Canada,
are to hold a record breaking sale during
the week of June "a TO 20. inclusive.
/ This is to be known as "one-third of a
century sale and during the week this
! firm proposes to offer to their friends
and customers an array of special values
in every department that will completely
eclipse all previous efforts.
/ The business of this company was ca
tablished by Mr.. +. w. Wooworth In
Utica, n. Y, just one-third of cen
| tury ago. He began with a few hundred
dollars worth of merchandise, starting
an exclusive sc store in the old Arcade
building, the first s ore of its kind ever
opened. His next store was opened at
! Lancaster, Pa, and line of Toe goods
was added, and it was here that the
popular sand l0-cent business was first
established. Later, the well-known firms
of S. II. Knox & Co, F. NJ Kirby &
Co., c. S. Woolworth & Co. f. P. Charl-
ton & Co., and w. II. Moore & Son were
established in the same business.
These firms always maintained
friendly relation to each other. their pro.
prietors being intimate personal friends.
1t was but natural that eventually the
interests of these firms should be merged
together, as was done last March, the
new firm taking the name of "F. w.
Woolworth Co."
During all these years the firm has
faithfully followed the original plan of
adhering strictly to the popular prices
of &c and Zoe. During recent years,
while the prices of nearly all commodi-
ties have been constantly advancing. the
variety and value of merchandise offered
by the Woolworth store has been CON
stantly increasing. This has been made
possible by the enormous purchasing
power Of this firm. Every store opened
meant increased purchasing power, and
this resulted in better values for the
public.
Manufacturers who find il necessary
