Whiting H. S, Five Will Contend For State Honors All hail Whiting-, contenders for the state championship! The Whiting high school basketball team now has the distinction of having defeated every high school team in the county this season, having wound up their succession of victories last night when they beat the fast Crown Point team. The county seat team Journeyed to Whiting last night and played the Whiting boys at the Whiting rink, the local team winning by a score of 37 to 10. The game was scheduled for 7:30 sharp, but owing to the train being late the Crown Pointers were late in arriving, with the result that the teams aid not begin playing until 8:30 p. m. The game was rough from start to finish and in the first half Pettlbone, Crown Point's center, injured his ankle. The score at the end of the first

New York. Feb. 10. Packey McFarland was t criticised severely by the Philadelphia papers for not . hopping over tothat village last - Wednesday njght and battling Young Erne in a sixround engagement. The roasts did not bother Packey particularly, for he had posted a forfeit which he gave up. During his training stunts for Eddie Murphy today at the Mott Haven A. C, McFarland gave the reasons for his non-appearance in the Quaker town. "You know," remarked the classy boxer, "that very man has only one face. The one that rests on my shoulders I'm very fond of and Intend to protect as much as possible. When I mixed It with Kid Burns on Tuesday he planted his right on my left optic and it immediately shut up. It was the first time in my career that I had a lamp extinguished, and it didn't, please me a bit. - "Now If I traveled to Philadelphia YOUNG ZBYSZKO f PINNED TO MAT Walter Willoughby threw Zbyezko last night, but it was not Stanislaus, Gotch's challenger who was pinned to the mat." Young Zbyszko was the victim of the clever middleweight at the Empire theater last night, losing on fall in eight minutes after wrestling a half , hour with honors even. In the other event Jess Pederson failed to throw Henry Ordeman in thirty minutes. - RUTT-STOL TEAM WINS6-DAY RACE Berlin, Feb. 10. The six days' international bicycle race ended last night.

half was 22 to 4. The second half of the game started with a rush. Whiting making first basket by four passes of the ball, the .ball not being touched by Crown Point. There was excessive fouling on the part of Whiting. , Although being defeated by Whiting it was a matter of general comment among the spectators that Crown Point could well be proud of their basket ball team. The lineup: Whiting Girard, right forward; Peterson and Smith, left forward; Vater, center; G. Benson, right guard; Greenwald, left guard. Crown Point Bartholomew, right forward; Bruce, left, forward: Pettlbone, center; Wheeler, right guard; Etling and Dickinson, left forward. Summary Baskets, Girard, 8; Peterson, 4; Vater, 4; Greenwald, 2; Bartholomew, 1; Pettlbone,. 1; Bruce, 1. Free throws Girard, 1; Pettlbone, 4. ' The game was refereed by Kelly of the University of Chicago. Manbeck and Dickinson acted as timekeepers Peceny was the scorer. Coach Hoover will -now have his Whiting team enter the preliminaries for the state championship series on March 9, where they will be strong contenders for the honor of representing northern Indiana in the state series, which will be held on March 16.

and fought Erne I would have had only one ,glim to do business with. And suppose Mr. . Erne managed to get a whopper on my other eye. Good night, Mr. McFarland. So rather than take a chance of fighting when I was going to have the worst of it I was forced to decline." McFarland will pull away from here tomorrow, so as to be on the scene in time to fight Boston Murphy ten rounds at South Bend, Ind., on Wednesday. Then he has a tentative date for the 18th. After he finishes those engagements he will return. There are many doubting Thomases who laugh when it is mentioned that Packey only weighed 1S6 pounds on Tuesday night. They had better change their dope, for the Chicago marvel Is down to that weight, and It is possible that, with - suitable inducements, he might chop off another pound or two. Z IS ALMOST SURE TO STAY A Joe Benz of Batesville, Ind., is going to Waco a week from next Thursday night in Manager Callahan's first White Sox squad to begin his fight for a regular place on the south side pitching staff. Benz is almost sure to be kept on the Sox team through the regular season. Manager Callahan's ship is not loaded to the guards with pitchers ' this year, but even if It Were Benz would have a good chance of sticking aboard. The big right-hander won the favor of President Comiske yby his showing in that nervous 8 to 7 battle between the Sox and Cubs. He was sent In as rescuer for Doc White, who, in his turn, had been hurried to the relief, of Jim Scott. The Cubs had a large lead when Bens entered, but he held them at bay and gave the Sox a chance to catch up. Walsh, Lange, Scott and White are the only veteran pitchers on the Sox list this year.

and Peters are the youngsters. It wouldn't be surprising if all of them were retained, but if a couple are let go Bens isn't likely to be one of the unfortunates. Ben is still a young man and hasn't had a great deal of professional experience In baseball. His showing in the Western league last year was wonderful. He won ten games and lost ten, and the club he was working for, Des Moines, won forty-nine games and lost lis. ..Bill Rourke, owner of the Omaha team and a smart baseball man, Is a strong booster for Benz. ""Comlskey got the two best men in our league," said Bill. "Bens is one and Berger is the other. Both are bound to make good, for they are natural baseball stars." Frank Isbell and Jack Holland also have a good opinion of Benx. "I'll give you my share of the league," said Izzy, "if that boy doesn't how something in fast company. He's got everything a pitcher needs, including plenty of nerve. If Callahan wants to get rid of rilm "there's room for him in Des Moinee." Ben is 22 years old and weighs 180 pounds. He Is a six-footer. (BY SPIKE.) In a practice game at the Lewis skating rink at East Chicago last night the newly organized polo team from Hammond won by a small margin of one point, the final result standing 4 to 3 Infavor of Hammond. The Hammond five played a good game for a new team and think they will be able to keep the score down at least when they meet the East Chicago quintet Jn a polo series this evening. Those who will don suits for Hammond tonight are: Brownie, Pannenborg. Farmer Smith, Heints and Gus Port. Toung Stewart, a former Hammond lad. who is now under the management of Harry Oilmore of Chicago, has some good : fights ahead of him and still continues to make good in the fistic game. His next fight will be pulled off Sunday afternoon in Chicago, when he meets Young Ratke of Forest Park before a private crowd In a twenty-round bout. Following this go he has been matched to fight Young Ketchel eight rounds In the semi-wlndup of the Mc-Farland-Murphy fight at South Bend next Wednesday night. It will be remembered that he fought Ketchel at the H. A. A. bouts and gained a good shade over his opponent. By defeating the Crown Point high school quintet by a decisive victory last night the Whiting high school five clamped a firm hold on the championship honors, and will also have an opportunity of getting a peep at state quintets.- , The Whiting high school quintet has one of the fastest little teams in the Calumet region, and promise to show more clans before the season closes. They have cleaned up everything they

The Hobart men who helped their team were Talbert with two field baskets and three free throws, and Rose with one field basket. Both Hobart and Gary played a fast game, but not so clean at the start, but when they found out that the coach meant business they settled down to clean tactics and the rest of the first half went along smoothly until the referee ordered Hake out of the game on account of making too many fouls. Bensen was substituted in his place. The score at the end of the first half stood 17 to 9 in favor of Gary. The second half was as fast. If not faster, than the first, but Hobart could not gain what It had lost, but while they piled up scores Gary also piled up scores and kept a safe gap between the two scores.

He Is matched to box at the Eldridge club at Tonawanda, N. V.. in his next fight

Week I LAST NIGHT out along with one of Hobart's men and the Gary man was substituted with Ivan Stamtt. This took out two of Gary's best men, but Hobart had lost spirit and could not regain the loss. Some one in the gallery called out.
