CM GEIS PERMIT
1 GOES AFTER
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 4. Tom McCarey, prize fight promoter, once rival of Jim Jeffries in the holding of boxingbouts here, ths afternoon secured a permit to hold matches in Vernon, a suburb of Los Angeles. The permit was granted by the trustees of that city late this afternoon. This, with the fact that scores of local sports have pledged themselves in writing to purchase seats for the Jeffries-Johnson fight in case MoCarey can land U, makes him believe he can get the bout. "We will land the big fight for Los Angeles," he said. "Los Angeles sports want the tight here and we have the permission necessary now to pull it off. I am receiving so much encouragement that I feel certain I can get financial backing to any amount I need, and I
shall make a determined effort to bring
the biggest battle of modern times to Los Angeles."
Within two days many local fans have pledged themselves to purchase
seats for the big mill at $100 a seat if McCarey lands the fight. He wants 4,000 such pledges and says he can get
them.
In Johnson's recent utterances in Detroit he said that he was willing to
box Jeffries at Los Angeles In oose a
suitable purse was offered. In case the
men get together this week. MeOarey
says his bid will be waiting, offering either a percentage or a $50,000 purse.
It s not known yet whether McCarey
will secure the arena formerly occupied by the Jeffries club near Vernon, but, although this has been allowed to fall Into some disrepair, it is presumed he will do so. The club was recently on the market, but after consderable dickering the bids for it seemed to have fallen through. A real estate man took an option on the property and it is presumed McCarey has secured this.
of the Hammond fans is expected to , accompany the team to Valparaiso. The ;
fare is fifty cents for the round trip. On July 11 Valparaiso managed to defeat the Hammond boys in a hardfought battle, by a score of 2 to 1. The Hammond's have a much stronger team to take down next Sunday and expect to win easily. The lineup which the Hammonds will take down is as follows: Rhode. 3b; White, ss; McMahan, 2b; Boyle, lb; Freedmeyer, c; Kid Clabby, rf; .Jones, rf; Buhring, cf; Koehler, If; Walker, p.
HAMMOND WILL GO 10 VALPARAISO
The Hammond baseball team will clash with the Standards of Valparaiso at the latter's grounds next Sunday, August 8. The Hammond team will go by way of the Nickel Plate. The train leaves Hammond at 11:25 a. m. A large crowd
railroad during the civil war beat to a frazzle. Harking back to the battles, the box dropped the first 2 to 2 and the second 1 Oto 4. The initial fray was Justifiable, but the latter was an absolute gift. The sox had held the lead from the second inning, when Doc White exploded in the seventh round. As a result the Athletics are treading on the toes of the champeen tigers today. That rest of the sox did them no good, to be sure.
SOX DROP TWO GAMES; HURST IN FAST EXIT
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 3. Umpire Tim Hurst made the quickest exit from a ball park on record yesterday. Aside
from the fact that the white sox drop-i ped two straight to the Athletics, that rapid transit act of Timohy's was the first-liner. It was in the second game that Eddie Collins, the local second basemen, indulged in some spicy repartee with Hurst. Old Tim got angry and attempted to expectorate at the player. Out on the field at the game's end swarmed the maddened fans, intent on doing bodily harm to the veteran um-
) pire. Almost, but not quite, as quick
ly came the coppers to his rescue. It was a foot race, with the fans on top of Hurst first. He received a couple of staggering blows on the back as he dashed to the protection of the law. A bluecoated coterie of bestarred bobbles surrounded him and rushed Tim through the underground passage that leads from the Athletics' bench to their clubhouse. It had the underground

STANDING OF CLUBS
Nothing is so convincing as a bingle
when the boys are shaky. Steinfeldt drove a couple of champs ahead of him with that kind of a hit yesterday at the west side park and the rest was easy. Poor old Boston got it in the same old place, the score being 7 to 1.
Up to the time that "Heiny Stetny" became the busy bee, the doves were on even terms with the cubs. That one wallop was a sufficiency. The rest of the counts were mere velvet. Starting out bravely, "lied" White, the- Posting color scheme, was glad to seek refuge ere long. During the fourth inning the cubs showed signs of tearing loose with the same impetuosity as in No. 3. so Forest Moore was sent into the breach. Did he stop the slaughter? No. He received the burning sensation of something coming his way In the fifth inning, three champs runs cluttering the plate In that round.
Thereafter he was a miser, when It was too late. Have a look at our estimable young southpaw, Floyd Kroh. This comparatively newcomer into our midst held the beans to four hits. It was really a meritorious performance. He didn't walk so awfully many either. Taking
