The Baptist Athletic league team, of
Hammond, won their sixth consecutive victory last night by defeating the fast Hammond high school aitimnl at the
Baptist gymnasium, by the score of 55 to 2t.
The game was a regular whirlwind
from start to finish and proved to be intensely interesting. The Baptist team gained a fine lead in the first half, the
first half ending in their favor by a
count of 28 to 11.
Hudson showed himself the main
getter and his work helped a good deal to bring up the large score. Camp
bell, who seems to always be in good form, made a number of sensational and difficult baskets from all positions of the field. Buttner, the star guard on the Baptist team, played his position in grand style, allowing Ebert but one basket during the entire game. Hunter played the star game or the alumni, getting four field baskets and six free throws. The game last night
proved that the Baptist Athletic league were a fast bunch of players to slip one over on the alumni, as they are
composed of some of the best high
school players. The Baptist team is fast gaining a good reputation. Wall's work as referee was perfectly satisfactory to both teams, and he proved to be a good man or the position. The lineup: H. H. S. A. Hunter, rf; Whitaker, If; Ebert, c; Murray-Parsons, rg; Lammering, g. B. A. L Morgancau, rf; Campbell, If; Hudson, c; Buttner, rg; Parker, Ig.

made at the factory of the Parry Auto
company in this city. He will also act as the New York agent for the Parry car. The company has just closed negotiations with Robertson, and the fact
that he has been obtained as a race pilot insures that the Parry car will
take a high rank next year. Robert
son is well established in the east, and
he is expected to be successful as 'the
Parry New York ag'ent.
Robertson holds the American speed

1908 he won the Vanderbilt cup race

away one of the retired champion s proposed trainers, Bob Armstrong. The
latter arrived In Chicago and closed plans with the heavyweight champion
whereby he will accompany him on his theatrical tour of the country which opens In Fort "Wayne Saturday. The show will be along the safe lines as the "Athletic Circus," in which Jeff is starring now.
Perhaps Johnson thought that Arm-
stronk knew too much about his style
of milling to be permitted to aid Jef
fries in .his preparation for the battle.
July 4. Armstrong will be kept busy
with the colored fighter until the first of May, so that he will have little chance of aiding Jeff. It is probable that Armstrong will stay with the champion until the day of the fight.
The champion will take no chance
of being worn out by one night stands
on his tour as Jeff has been. His tour
will consist of a combination of onenight stands and week stands, so that
he will not be tired out by his work.
Johnson yesterday filed an answer to
the injunction secured by Weber

week, it was announced, but would go on the road. In fact, yesterday was a sort of court day for the champion. He defended the suit brought against him
by his former sparring partner, Yank
Kenny, In Judge Hume's court. Kenny claimed that Johnson owed him $2,000 salary for his services as sparring partner. Judge Hume announced that the finding would be in favor of Johnson, who claimed that he hired Kenny for but three weeks and paid him at the en dof each week. The case, however, was continued until Jan. 13, in order that Kenny's counsel, W. H. Tatge, might submit new legal propositions on the case. The athletic carnival with which Johnson is to star will be made up of several prominent athletes. Joe Bernstein, one of the best of the old-time featherweights, and Kid Griffo, a New York bantamweight. Jack Heinan, a Chicago fighter, Monte Cutler, the local wrestler, Joe Rickard and Mike Conley, wrestlers, will take part In the performances.
BURNS AND SMITH
BATTLE TO DRAW
GRIFFITH WOULD
BANISH "UMPS"
Wants Arbiter to Remain
Off Field in Game.
Cincinnati, Dec. 31. Manager Clark
Griffith will be kept at home nishts
from now till the meeting of the Na
tional league rules committee reading
the rules of the league.
He says there is work enough on this
job for half a dozen men and that he's
putting all his spare time to make his part of It pay. One rule which he says ought to be changed has to do with the
umpires. .
"I don't like to be called a kicker
said Griffith,, "but it does make me mad to have an umpire around in the way
when you ve got a good play on and
have him step into It and knock the whole business out. That is why I am going to suggest to the rules committee when we meet that a new plan be
fixed up to permit two umpires in every
game unless absolutely impossible. One
man can stand behind the catcher and
another outside the diamond and eith
er in the field or Just beyond the run
ning lines.
"Very often I have seen signals go wrong because an umpire was in the
way and the players could not see. I
want them to stand on the outfield fide
of the base lines and give their de
cision at all times. I think that with
this rule in force we could have a whole
lot less scrapping than we have now
ana that tne people would really get a little better ball playing for their
money." --
Maul Each Other for Coast
Championship. San Francisco, Dec. 31. "Gunboat"
Smith, sailor pugilist, who, is scheduled
to become Jack Johnson's chief sparring partner when the negro goes into
training for his fight with Jeffries,
fought a twenty round draw with Jack
Burns of Salinas last night, the battle
involving the heavyweight champion
ship of the Pacific coast.
The fight was cr.e of the fiercest ever
seen between two big men in a San
Francisco ring. Smith led up to the
twelfth round and Burns was groggy
wlwn he went to his corner.
He came back in the thirteenth round
with a rush that carried Smith to the
ropes, and from that time to the end
end of the twentieth held his own with
the former navy champion, at tirr.
driving Smith around the ring befd
a whirl of blows that the sailor had hard work to avoid.

Dane Tells Strange Yarns to
Fight Fans. Chicago, Dec. 31. "When Battling
Nelson gave out the report at Milwau
kee Tuesday night that he had completed arrangements for matches with Dick Hyland at Kansas City and Adolph Wolgast at San Francisco it took the fight fans by surprise that the lightweight champion had done so much in the way of matchmaking in such a short time. However, it seems that the fighters and clubs mentioned by the Battler were the most surprised of any one. From the reports from San Francisco and Los Angeles It seems that Bat has no fights clinched for the immediate future.
Wolverines Question Center's Amateur Standing. Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec." 31. "Bill" "1th, Michigan's football center, -iose real name is Andrew, denies that he ever wrestled Frank Gotch or Jim Asbell and contends that it must have been some ambitious "future great" who assumed the Smith nomenclature for his wrestling career. The denial made by Smith is not particularly convincing, and there is certain to be a thorough investigation as soon as the board of control can get together, which probably will be within a week.
