BAPTIST ATHLETIC CLUB
HAliOi ARE CHAMPIONS
Defeat Hammond Athletes, . and Fourteen Out of Fifteen
Straight Wins Is Their Record.
In defeating the Hammond Athletics
Association's basket-ball five Saturday-
night at the latter"s gymnasium, by a large count of 45 to 24, the Baptist A.
C. closed their 1910 season with the
best record made by any team In north
ern Indiana this season. "With this victory over the H. A. A., which makes a total of fourteen games won out of fif
teen games played this season, the Baptists claim the championship of north
ern Indiana.
The game was rough from the very
start, bothsides playing the best they
knew how, which led to some rough encounters between the players. At times slugging and pushing tactics were used
In an effort to win the game, which brought hisses from the spectators.
A large , crowd gathered to see the
game between the two leading teams in the county and it proved to be very
interesting, as some fine teamwork and
excellent backet throwing were shown
by both fives.
The Hammond Athletic Association have been handicapped this year re
garding the picking of a good, substantial basket-ball five, owing to the fact that this is their first year in the has-

ket-ball world, and the inexperienced men who were picked for the team
have done fairly well In the variou
games that they have taken part in this season. The Baptists have made a good showing this season, and the fourteen vlc torles out of fifteen games played is a record which will probably stand for years. The one defeat which was administered to the Baptists was handed them by one of the best park teams in Chicago. The game with the Chicago five was arranged because the Baptists were unable to secure a game with any of the teams in this region at the time, and the management realized they would be playing out of their class when the game was arranged.

SOX III SADFAREWELL Duffy's Squad Winds Up Stay in Frisco With a Double Defeat.
San Francisco, March 14. Duffy's first division White Sox fell hard yesterday. They lost twice, getting trimmed over in Oakland in the morning game by a score of 8 to S, and in the afternoon they were routed 7 to 2 by the Seals. They shook the dust of San Francisco last night and started for a warmer climate. Duffy was afraid to stay here even another day, for fear some more bad luck would befall his men. The game with Stockton today has been declared off, but Tip ,0'Nell has been working hard to get two games with the Fresno team today and tomorrow, and hopes to find the arrangements all complete when the Sox get there. The hospial list is Increasing so fast here that Duffy wants to get south as soon as possible."
FIGHT FILMS NOT SHOWN
Injunction Keeps NelsonWolgast Pictures Dark. The Nelson-Wolgast fight is being waged over again. No boxers are mixed up in the second battle of Richmond, but a keen battle is promised just the same. The films of the lightweight championship struggle which were billed to be placed on exhibition yesterday at the Empire theater are the cause of scrap No. 2. Sid Hester, promoter of the Nelson-Wolgast go, signed a contract with the Western burlesque wheel for twenty-five cities including Chicago, while Jack Robinson, manager of Nelson, who is a partner in the films, signed up with the Eastern burlesque wheel for Chicago. The double contract was the cause of the scrap. Weber Bros., owners of the Alhamba theater which was to open with the pictures yesterday, secured an injunction prohibiting the Empire, a member of the western wheel, from showing the films yesterday and Chicagoans have yet to get their "first glimpse of the lightweight fight. Hester will be in Chicago today to hold a conference with Robinson when the tangle probably will be straightened out.
SHERIFF PUTS O. K. ON BOXING
IN MILWAUKEE
Milwaukee, Wis., March 14. Despite the protests of the city's clergymen there will be no further Interference with boxing In Milwaukee until the pending case against Eddie Greenwald is decided. Governor Davidson says he did not stop Friday's fight between Clabby and Gardner because the matter was left to Sheriff Frank. The sheriff says he witnessed the fight and that under a decision of the attorney-general, it was within the state law on boxing. The law allows boxing before regularly authorized clubs, without purses and without decisions. All of these conditions were complied with by the club that staged the Clabby-Gardner fight. Sheriff Frank says he will not stop any contests conducted that way.
KETCHEL MOUNTS . WATER WAGON Memphis, Tenn., March 14. Stanley Ketchel went onto the water wagon here today as a result of a wager in which the Michigan fighter agrees not to take a drink for three months. He announced that he would be ready to take on all the men in his class after his fight with Klaus in Pittsburg on March 28.
'TOO MUCH SMITH' IS UHDOIIIGJRELICAHS "Tony" and "Happy" PuU Out 2-to-l Game for Cubs at New Orleans.
New Orleans, March 14. ("Too much Smith" played hob with those Pelicans on the home patch yesterday afternoon. With "Tony" starting 'and "Happy" applying the finishing touches, the young Cubs skimmed through their paces for the edification of President Murphy and some 3,000 bugs, annihilating the native sons, 2 to 1. Incidentally victory No. 4 in the present series was taken from the hide of one Eddie Cefalu, who seems to be the well-tamed angora for Chance's rookies. Any old time New Orleans feels like dropping a game Cefalu is trotted to the slab. Eddie appeared for one measly period, the eighth, yesterday, and a single linked with a boot, a sacrifice and an infield out clocked the winning tally. Tougher game awaits the Cubs today when Jim McGuire's Naps burst upon the scene for a fivegame struggle.
"CHANCE COST CUBS THE FLAG"
Clark Says Leader Dropped
Pennant When Hurt. Pittsburg, Pa., March 14. Discuss
Ing the folly of boasting in the spring
and the general uncertainty of base ball. Manager Fred Clarke of Pitts
burg told today how one play beat the Cubs out of the 1909 flag. "Early last spring Chance bumped Gibson at the
plate, probably with the hope that the
collision would cause Glbby to drop
the ball," said Clarke. "I am not finding fault with Chance for making the
attempt, but the failure of the play lost Chicago the game and perhaps the championship. Gibson did not drop the
ball, Chance was out, Pittsburg won the game, and Chance paid a heavy penalty for his trick, as he injured his shoulder so seriously that he could not play for several weeks. In a game like baseball, in which apparently trivial incidents cut so much figure only safe and sane policy is to cut out boasting and work hard.
DILLON
AND FITZ TO MEET
Laporte, Tnd., March 14. Jack Dillon, Indiana's welterweight champion, and Willie Fitzgerald, the "Fighting Harp" of Brooklyn, will sign articles tomorrow to fight ten rounds at Anderson, Ind., the latter part of this month.

OLDFIELD GOES RECORD MILE Daytona, Fla., March 14. Barney Oldfleld, with his 200-horse power Benz, showed great form today by driving a mile in :27 2-5 flat, which is four-fifths of a second better than the world's record. In the exhibition events Tuesday, which will supplant the Oldfleld-De Palma match, Oldfleld has consented to go for the one and two-mile world's records. All records he makes then will be official. The regular speed carnival dates with the original program will begin March 22 and continue for three days. NELSON GOES ON ROAD Battling Nelson, who closed his theatrical engagements in Chicago Saturday night, opened yesterday in Milwaukee, where he will play a week. He then will show in Minneapolis, winding up his present tour. The Dane will fill an exhibition in Pittsburg the following week, and then probably go to his Obar, N. M., ranch to recuperate.
