VERY ARTISTIC
EXHIBIT AT FAIR

One of the most artistic displays to
be seen in Floral hall is that of w. E.
Wilmer, the Crown Point photographer,
which is exceedingly well arranged,
with large photograph of Vice Presi-
dent Marshall at the top of center with
Congressman John B. Peterson directly
below, and surrounding these on all
sides are some of Lake county's best
people. These photographs are surely
a credit to Mr.. Wilmer and from ali
artistic standpoint would be difficult
to excel.

PROMOTERS SEEK.
| HIGH CLASS co.
Kenosha Powers Make Bid
With McGoorty and Dillon Q
for Title Battle.

John Heating, boxing mentor of
Kenosha, Wis, is going to try once
more for Chicago patronage. Having
dropped the greater part of $1,000 in
his last three attempts to draw
crowd at the ringside. he has advised
his Chicago matchmaker to approach
the two best middleweights of the
country and ask for terms. Eddie
McGoorty of Oshkosh and Jack Dill
lon of Indianapolis, at 15S ringside,
is the card wanted by Heating.
The Keposha promoter is somewhat
discouraged over the failure of the
followers to turn out, but believes
that If he can get such a high class
pair of scrappers into the ring he
will be able to pack the skating rink
arena. Terms were wired the middle
weights last night and if they accept
the date will be set and preliminary
matters attended to today. Heating
has advised his Chicago representative
to go the limit and make any reason
able promise to the 15S-pound leaders.
Such a match has been in great de-
, mand for more than a year. and
should Heating land the pair, there
seems little doubt but that he will
get crack at some big coin. McGoor-
ty and Dillon are running a neck-and-
neck race for the honors in the mid
dleweight race at present and bout
between the two would be in the ma
ture of a championship argument.
Dillon has laid claims to the title and
has successfully defended his claims.
McGoorty also asserts that he is the
big gun of the 15S-pounders, but he
has had a couple of set-backs of late
and will have to keep up the pace

Ban Johnson Squelches Herr
mann's Plea for 16- Club
Post Season Contests.

New York, Oct. 16.-Big Ban John
son, president of the American league,
announced yesterday that he is OPP
posed to the scheme of having an
inter-league series IL the fall, with 10
clubs, instead of two, competing for
the worlds championship.
Wherefore you will probably hear
no more of said scheme. Anything
that is distasteful to the large and
Ioquacious Ban is at once rendered
null and void in so far as organized
ball is concerned.
In this instance, Ban is right. The
scheme was one fathered by Garry
Hermann, president of the Cincin
natl Reds. so that his club and other
tail-end clubs could horn in on the
fat pot that is divided each fall by
the worlds championship contenders
without going to the trouble of build
/ ing up real championship team.
A 16-club competition would only
! increase the confusion which is baC
enough with only two clubs compel
ing, and it would prove nothing. A:
Ban Johnson says, it would remove
the financial incentive for teams t.
win their league pennant. 1t would
make a joke out of the season race
The tail-ender would not care wheth
er it was a tail-ender or not, becaus,
it would get in on the division JUS
the same.
You cannot blame Hermann 70
wanting to see such system in vogue
He has never had a winner and ha
had to sit back every year and Sc
other clubs cutting up thousands Q
dollars. Naturally he is dissatisfied
but from. what Joe Tinker was quote
as saying not so very long ago, Carr
would have a better show of gettin
some of that worlds series money
he kept out of the management of hi
team and let the manager handle tina
end"
Johnson keeps his finger on tn
pulse of the baseball public bette
than any other man connected wit
the game. He knows what the far
: want and it is mighty seldom tn;
he makes move THAT is not popula
He appreciates fully the importanC
of the worlds series to baseball an
there is no danger of the present sy
