There was a large crowd witnessing the . game, and there was continual cheering as the Hammond ball rollers took the Crown Pointers into camp. First three games were bowled to de cide the contest and then the Crown ! Pointer's had time to bowl another game and they bowled off the fourth on a little side bet of $15. Hammond won. The individual averages and the team ! averages were computed from the first three games, which were really the only ones which counted in the con test The Crown Point boys came up con fident of victory, and were only beaten by 81 points. Hammond bowled down 2,510 pins to Crown Point's 2,429.

mm A East Chicago High School Is Victorious in Two Basket-Bail Games. (Special to The Times.) East games Chicago, Ind., Jan. 25. Two for East Chicago high school. The biggest crowd that ever attended exhibitions of basket-ball . in this city turned out for the games with Crown Point on Saturday night. The Crown Point team arrived early in the evening, confident of success, but before the East Chicago teams finished the downcounty feathers were well be-draggled by the fierce onslaught of the local players. Forty to 27 was the score in the boys' game while the East Chicago girls managed to defeat the heavier Crown Point team by the narrow score of 9 to 6. The star work of Riley and Johns was evident in the boys' contest, while Palmer did some fair work in the guard position. Silverman at center and Cadman as the opposite forward played good games but the weaken ing of the team by placing Cadman at forward was plain. Lillian Williams, captain of the girls' team, snowea to advantage at every moment of the game and was supported nobly by Mabel Palmer, who made four of the nine points. Phoebe Westbay of Crown Point played a good forward game and her lack of familiarity with the basket positions caused her team to lose tne game, xne next game or the local teams will be played at Ho bart on next Saturday evening. CORBETT IS BACK Puts Harry Ferris Away in Eleventh Round. New Orleans, Jan. 25. With a right hook to the jaw and a left to the body, Young Corbett yesterday afternoon knocked out Harry Ferns In the elev enth round of their scheduled twentyfive round bout befort the West Side Athletic club. Corbett was clearly the class and proved the aggressor from the first. In only one round, the fourth, was he troubled to any extent. In that period Ferns, with furious body blows, rushed his opponent to the ropes and with rights and lefts to the face floored Corbett. However, Corbett was on his feet In a jiffy and punished Ferns se verely for the momentary splurge. The eighth, ninth and tenth rounds proved hard ones for Ferns and in each he was saved by the gong. The open ing of the eleventh saw Ferns in bad shape and Corbett toyed with his vie tim. Corbett demonstrated to his ad mirers that he can stand punishment. He boldly walked into Ferns' arms time and again and blow after blow was rained on him with no apparent effect. Corbett is trained to the pin kof condition and says that he intends striking out for greater honors. It was announced at the ringside that Abe Attell, who was in the corner of Ferns, will meet Eddie Kelly here Feb. 4 before the Southern Athletic club. COMISKEYGOES SOUTH President C. A. Comiskey of the White Sox and President Ban Johnson of the American league left last night on their hunting trip through the south. The South Side magnate showed no signs of worry over the news that Pitchers Walsh and Smith were not going to play with his team next p-ear. He expects to have a fine time under the direction of Joe Cantillon of the Washington club, who will be guide to the party.

The referee called the bout a draw and the affair came near winding up in a free for all figtit. "I was losing confidence in the honesty of officials and I decided to quit that part of the country entirely and seek a new field.
