GARY HIGH SCHOOL AND HHU0I1D H.
S. E
Th Hammond and Gary high school football teams had a friendly practice gam at Harrison park In Hammond Saturday afternoon, which resulted in a score of 33 to 0 In favor of the Hammond team. The game will not be counted on the regular schedule for the reason that during both of the halves Coaches Walter and Clyde Allee of Hammond and Coach Hoes D. Jfetherton of Gary went onto the field and instructed the players in the play. Frequently the game was stopped after a play and the respective teams were informed of their errors and were Instructed as to the proper way the play should have been made. For this reason a comparison of the
teams would not be fair, and even the score does not give a proper idea of the comparative Etrength of the teams. Practice la Valuable. Both of the coaches are of the opinion that in the absence of good second teams to provide the necessary practice for the "varsity," these practice games are valuable. The halves were of 20 minutes' duration, and the score at the end of the first half was 16 to 0 in favor of Hammond. The day was an Ideal one for the game, and the members of both
teams are enthused over the prospects. The first game of Importance on the Hammond schedule will be the one with Michigan Cit yon Saturday, Oct. 9.
SUSPECT SIGNAL PLOI
"Washington, Sept. 27. There's a growing suspicion among the White Box that somebody slipped their signals to the Highlanders during the recent disastrous visit of Sullivan's men to the hilltop park. While resting peacfully in the nation's capital yesterday the Chicago players gave vent to their feelings on the subject which Just at present is stirring up a lot of comment throughout the eastern cities ot the circuit, especially in New York, wheTe Stallings' men have lately developed a tremendous winning streak.
GOPHERS GET START ON REST OF ELEVENS
With but one team, the Gophers, engaglng In actual warfare football en
thusiasts throughout the middle west had scant opportunity Saturday to estimate the relative abilities of the "Big Eight" elevens to figure In the gridiron battles of 1909. Victory over Lawrence came so easy for the Minnesota warriors that even the most conservative "dope followers" can hardly draw a line on the strength of the machine now being whipped into shape by Coach Williams. Another week of steady grinding will go a long way in unraveling- the mystery that now enshrouds every squad triving for western football supremaoy. In every institution the coaches are bending their energies toward building up at least passing fortifications for the opening games of the season next Saturday. Signal drill and the work of mastering the fundamental points of the game, constituting the chief line of endeavor last week, will be thrown into the discard after today's practice, according to the men who preside over the task of molding out winning elevens. The scrimmage, with its accompanying ills and sore Joints, now has the call.

BLISSMERSSHUT OUT. Hofner, twirler for the All Saints, used the whitewash brush on the Toung Blissmers of West Hammond yesterday afternoon at Harrison park by shutting them out, 3 to 0. The Young Blissmers were unable to And Hofner, who yielded only four hits. Hofner also whiffed twelve of the Blissmers, while Krug fanned six. The game was witnessed by about 200 people, and at many times the crowd was brought to their feet by some exceptionally good playing by both sides. Hofner was backed by good support, which in many instances helped In kteping the Blissmers from scoring.
TOLLESTON TEAM BEATEN SUNDAY The Hammond All Stars won a hard won victory yesterday from the Tolleston team at the latter's grounds. Baird and Vonlch formed the Hammond battery, while Grimes and Benight led the Bill Kunert hosts. The
visitors found the Tolleston pitcher for
twelve hits, while Baird allowed only two. Baird struck out twelve men, while Grimes struck out only seven. No errors are recorded on either side. Manager Lucas of the Hammond All Stars was highly pleased. His aggregation has lost a number of games this season of which he was pop sure until he found the battery loaded. The game yesterday was on the level. It was practically all home-grown material He expected to get a little side bet out of the backer for the Tolleston team, but this did not materialize. The score for yesterday's game was 4 to 3, in favor of the Hammond All Stars.
DOUBLE-HEADER FOR THE TIGERS
New York, Sept. 27. Detroit and NewYork will play two games here today, permission to pull Tuesday's contest forward having been granted by President Johnson of the American league. The change is made so as not to conflict with the Hudson-Fulton historical parade. Frill and Wilson, left ' hand pitchers, who have been with the New
ark club, will Join aha New Tork AmiN J leans today.
PAPKE FIGHTS NIGGAH PO'TAH
Kewanee, I1L, Sept. 27. Billy Papke was today forced to abandon his idea about drawing the color line. Papke was en route home from a trip east and as the train stopped at Kewanee Papk opened a closed vestibule and wa stepping off the train when a huge colored porter put in his apperance and tried to force him to retrace hl steps. The black called Papke names, and though laden down with an overcoat and a suit case, Papke resented the remarks and .then, a desperat struggle ensued. . The colored man did not follow Queensberry rules, for he grappled with the boxer and fastened both of his hands on Papke's neck. Papke swung on his mouth, while other pas- , sengers interferred. Both sides clalmt a victory.

IETEENTH GAME
(Special to The Timer) Crown Point, Ind., Sept. 27. If Hammond has any more baseball teams they want to keep well over the north" corporation line of Crown Point, or It's their colors trailing in the dust all the way from the ball grounds to the Erie station. The Hammond Colts, the Boiler Makers, the Smith Colts, all husky ball binglers from the north county town, have come, saw and failed to conquer, and it remained for those "Old Styles" from just 'cross the border to follow the same route of monotonous defeats that has been the fate of their previous brother knights of the hickory. Four times have Becker's best and ablest recruits faced the mighty Hennlng and hl3 eight warriors and 4 to 11 was the score board's tale of defeat handed to the Old Styles. Schram, he of the much-touted twirling abilities, aeroplaned in the second inning smote one to the right field barb
wire for a home run, chasing three Pointers home ahead of him. Hammond's right fielder had some trouble at this stage of the game in extricating necessary parts of his uniform from aforesaid wires and returned the ball in time to see the scorer chalking up six runs to the locals' credit. The sum and substance of the game was that the Lagers were unable to hit Hennlng effectively, .and although Schram retired fourteen Crown Point
batters by the fan-out route, their
pasting of his presentations at opportune times made the score what it was at the end of the contest. The game
was not devoid of errors on either side, but the Old Styles chalked up enough to obliterate those on the Crown Point side of the sheet. The features of the contest was the Old
Styles' errors and the rooting of Mas
cot Jerry Bowman, who consigned the
detested Crown Points to the nether
most realms of the universe.
JEFF CABLES HE'LL MEET
JOHNSON
OCTOBER
"Los Angeles, Sept 27. Jim Jeffries is in deadly earnest so far as his intentions to force a match on Jack Johnson are concerned. Facts which have just leaked out here show conclusively that Jeffries has been flashing his orders across the Atlantic cable, and that the Los Angeles idol has practically perfected his plan of campaign. From a thoroughly reliable source the details of Jeffries' future move
ments were learned and are hereby given. Jim, according to the present order of things, is due to arrive in New York during the first week in October. Sam Berger will be at this end of the gangblank waiting for Jeffries, and together the tow Californlans will go immediately to Chicago where, it is said, the final act In matching Jeffries and Johnson will occur. Johnson has said that he will go to Chicago soon after his Ketchel fight. Jeffries' San Francisco agents learned this much of the black champion's plans and communicated the same to Jim, who at once advised that he would be waiting in the "I Will" city for Johnson. Every move on Jeffries' part from the moment he lands In the United States again will be such as to inspire the confidence of the American public. What Jeffries wants to do now is
to get the final set of articles signed
up just as quickly as possible. Jeff Cam Close Match. In 30 Minutes.
So far as Jim is concerned the final arrangements for the great heavy
weight match can be fixed up Inside of thirty minutes after the two men get inside of thirty minutes after the two men get inside the same room. Thirty or sixty days' time will be given the
promoters to make their bids. Another detail that possibly may be left over will be the matter of definitely naming the referee to officiate In the battle of
the century.
The question of a referee for the big
battle opens up a wide fleia for specu latlon. I have talked with both Man
ager McCarey and Manager Coffroth
during the past twenty-four hours and
find that the promoters are completely
at sea concerning this detail.
McCarey and Coffroth agreed that
there Is a strong possibility that Jef
fries may hold out for Charles F. Eyton of this city. "The natural objec
tion that Johnson may have to Eyton's
acting as referee Is that the latter is
a reslden of Jeffries home town," said
Coffroth. "For my part should I be lucky enough to land the fight for San
Francisco, I would be perfectly willing
and glad to have Eyton act aa the
third man. should Jeffries and Johnson
agree upon hlrn." Three Candidates for Referee,
McCarey said: "I would be strongly
in favor of Eyton against all lothers,
but in a case of this kind the promo
ter will have to bow to whatever selec
tion the heavyweight principals may
make."
The question of geography will not
be regarded when the referee is named
In my talk with Coffroth, the Colma magnate said: "We have at least three
men in San Francisco who have th
confidence of the public. Naturally,
if I land the battle, I would like to see a San Francisco man in the ring with Jeff and Jack, but my wishes have
little to do with the selection. I look upon Otto Floto of Denver and Ed
Smith of Chicago as possible choices.

THE STUB
OF GAME
Bets, the reliable backstop for the Columbia League, proved to be the master of an eleven-inning battle between the Boiler Makers and the Columbia League, at the H. A, A. grounds
Sunday afternoon, by a count of 3 to 2. Klsler of the League and Smith of the Boiler Makers figured in a pitchers' duel yesterday and the former yielded only two hits, while Smith of the Boiler Makers handed out four. Both men pitched fine ball, and they might have been playing now had It not been for a fumble of Betz's hard liner by the Boiler Maker's third baseman, which let In the winning run. PeaBson was again in the limelight yesterday, getting two of the four hits which were handed out by Smith, and both of them being clean three-baggers. Pearson was the first man to ecore, waj the first man to bat, pound
ing out a three-bagger, and was later
scored on a sacrifice hit.
The game went along smoothly un
til tht eleventh Inning, the score be ing tied, 2 to 2. With two men ou
and a man on third Betz sent a line
straight into the third baseman's mitt
who gracefully fumbled, letting in th
run which meant victory for the Leag
uers.
KROH REPEATS DOSE, TIES DOVES I!! LAS
"Caw" Kroh, the eminent cross-fire
expert, padded his flinging record yes terday by uopping the badly bent Bos
tonese, 3 to 2, in a bleak and barren
encounter before a chilly populace about 1,200 strong. It was the final appearance of the year for Dovey's bread-winners, and as a token of esteem the Boston leader sent his slab star Clig Curtis, to cope with the Cubs. Beck in Delaware, O., Cliff is touted the one best in major league circles and for eight stirring rounds he lived right up to his record. Then he blew and three lusty wallops clinched the victory, giving Chance's men twenty-one out of twenty-two triumphs for the year in Beantown engagements.
