Sporting Briefs

(BY SPIKE.) Young Stewart of Hammond, one of the most promising lightweights, put another good man away yesterday afternoon when he won from Tommy Moore by a K. O. in the first round of a scheduled twenty-round bout. The fight was held in private at Chicago before a large crowd of fans and their disappointment was that it was all over so sudden. Stewart had his man the minute the gong rang and was on top of him in short order. He dealt Moore a stinging right uppercut to the Jaw, which dropped him for the count. Young Masse and Ole Olson, who have been staged at the H. A. A. fights, fought a three-round preliminary. Stewart Is training at Gllmore's and his only difficulty is to find good man -who can stand up against him. 'Stewart has already gained a name as a rugged little fighter and is. sure to be a comer. The Crown Point high school basketball squad fell down in their percentage for championship honors last week by- losing a game with Whiting and the East Chicago fives. Both of their games "being played away from home, they lay thijir defeat o strange floors and large halls which they were not u."ed to. So far Whiting looms'up the best for the county honors as they have not met a single dfifeat. They have one of the fastest tf.mn in the history of the Whiting high school and should give some of the state championship contenders a hard tussle. In an interesting pool match at

Bradford's poof room Saturday night Harry Towle captured the title as champion of" Hammond by defeating John Sllngsby, a clever cueist, by a close score of 11 points. Both men were not in the best of form and did not make their usual runs and averages. Sllngsby was unable to get a start at the first break and Towle gained s. lead on him by nearly fifty points. Sllngsby played in hard lucky, but with some difficult shots he cut the lead down to 11 buttons. One hundred and fifty points were played. The high run was 11, each man making that number. A side bet of $50 was played for and the -two cueists are arranging fdr another game in the near future. The game was attended by a, large crowd. The East Chicago Grays, a 110-120-pound team, wish to announce that they are open to schedule games with Lake county teams arid are ready to meet any fast team at that weight. They are anxious to meet the Gary Freehmen. For games address William Donovan, Todd avenue. East Chicago.

Moving pictures will be taken of the Coulon-Burns flsht at New Orleans next Sunday. Tnls will be the first time a fight has nver been filmed In the Crescent City. When the game was In its heyday there and with a championship fight every month, moving pictures were nevr dreamed of. Jim Corbett and John L. fought without the films in 189J. Knockout Brown of Gotham will get a six-round workout In Philadelphia tonight. His opponent will be Billy Galley and Knockout thinks he will finish in the lead.

DEFEATS GARY TEAM

(BY SPIKE.) The Crown Point Commercial club quintet, undefeated in the Lake county basketball championship, captured another victory Saturday night when they walloped the Gary Tin Plate five in a close and exciting- game by a score of 47 to 30. The same was played in the Crown Point high school gymnasium and the gallery was taxed to its capacity. The game displayed the brilliant work of both teams and was a wonderful exhibition of speed and team work. The halves were fat and snappy and there was not a dull moment throughout the game. Both teams played at their best and because of the fast work injuries occurred to players on both quintets. The playing was rough and fouls were

numerous, each team scoring a goodly number on free throws. The Tin Plate team outclassed Crown Point In teamwork, which was due to their lack of practices. The game commenced with Crown Point scoring the first basket and In a

short time they had run up a score of

11 to 3. Time was then called on account of injury and play was resumed. Gary then came back strong and when the whistle blew at the end of the half the score was tied, being 26-25. In the second half the Tin Plate lineup was changed, two new players having donned uniforms. Crown Point bracked up and came back strong in this half, sweeping the Tin Plate squad from their feet. Unable to get a start.

the Tin Plate quintet were only able

to score 6 points, while the Hub team

Skating Backwards Over a Tabic

made 22, gaining a safe lead by 17

points. Glover at center, Crown Point's star basket tosser, played a brilliant game, his contribution , toward victory being a good share of the points. He had the jump on his man every time and made some difficult baskets which were, of a sensational variety. McWayne, Rudolph and Young also starredAlthough the Gary Tin Plate five met defeat they have a team to be proud of, as' they are a gentlemanly lot of players and ' will always be welcome at Crown Point. The Crown Point lineup was: Mewkyne. left forward; I. Rudolph, right forward; B. Glover, center; Young, left guard; R. Rudolph, right guard. EXPECnOOlTllBS III A.

STAGG MAY QUIT

MAROONS OWING TOJOLLAPSE

Fear Is Expressed That He

Will Not Return to Midway This Year.

Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago will not be an active member of the Midway athletic staff for the rest of the winter quarter of the Maroon

school, according to the latest change

in the directors' plans. He was ex

pected to return to the Maroon camp

this week, but has decided to remain in the east at least until April 1 in an

attempt to recover from his recent

breakdown.

Doubts as to the coach's plans were

set at rest yesterday when Mrs. Stagg

and two of the three Stagg children left

for Plnehurst, N. C, to Join the head of the family. Mrs. Stagg dclared that the coach had found it necessary to take a longer rest than he had bar

gained for when he left for the Atlan

tic coast before the Christmas holidays and would stay at the winter resort

until he regained his strength.

It Is feared at the Midway , that Stagg's change in plans means that he may be kept away from the Chicago headquarters for tho rest of the school year. Some have gone so far as to ex

press doubts as to whether the "Old

Man" ever will be able to take charge

or all Maroon athletics again.

JOHNSON AND FLYflli

FIGHT OVERJEFF MATCH Fireman Insists He Should Get Tirst Chance at the ex-Champion.

EAST CHICAGO BEATEN

by mm poloists Champions Are Given Surprise at the Lewis Rink on Saturday.

KARTJE IS HELD T0 A DRAW Ernest Kartje met a tartar in Galvin Restres, a newcomer from the south side, at the Pekin theater, yesterday. The match was billed as a finish affair, but after the men had tussled for forty-five minutes without either gaining an advantage the bout was called a draw. Ua Vincent threw Jack Faust in straight falls in the other half of the wlndup. '

James Flynn, Pueblo fireman, came into town yesterday to rest a week between theatrical engagements. . James wants to fight Jeffries before Johnson gets at him again. Here is what he says: "Johnson . whipped Jeffries. Now, Iwant to whip him to show that I am worthy of this match with the champion. I know I can trim Jeff and am ready any time he , says the word.

Jack Curley, my manager, will be here Friday to post our forfeit for the big

match in July, and If we hear from

Jeff In the meantime we will post some

coin for him, too. All the forfeits Tor

my match with. Johnson will be hoisted here Friday. Johnson and I are to put up $5,000 each and Curley $10,090 for the club. Johnson, when told last night that Flynn was after the Jeffries match, refused to give him first chance. , "Nothing doing," said Jack. "I want Jeff again, then Flynn can have him. He'll be awful easy after I beat him up once more. Tell Flynn If Jeff returns to the game Til surely beat him to the first match. Jeffries will want to box the champion, anyway, and I'm the champion." , Jack will be wrestling all this next week at a local theater and has extended an invitation to Flvnn n w.-h

j him. In fact, he wants to wrestle with

Jim If the latter will consent to go on.

The newly organized Hammond pole ' team administered a surprising blow to the East Chicago polo squad at the Lewis skating rink Saturday night ' when they scored their first victor.r from the champs by a close score of 8 to 2. It looked like a white wash for East Chicago up to the last five minutes of play, but the champs took a sudden, spurt and captured two goals in short order. Hammond played .like old veterans and did some cleesy work with the stick. East Chicago played hard to gain a lead on Hammond but Trimble the goal tender was there every minute and held the score at a safe margin. Both teams played fast and the game was full of exciting plays and with the added Interest of the spectators, you could not hear yourself talk. East Chicago was unable to score the first part and after a hard fight Hammond held them down by a score of S to 0. The last period was even more hotly contested and although Hammond did not score they contended themselves by holding East Chicago to a safe margin of two points. For the first time that he has .ever donned a polo suit Panenborg played a brilliant game for Hammond making a number of brilliant stops which might have been sure counters for East Chi

cago. In fact all the players displayed

good talent and is bound to make a

winning team from all apearances.

One of the East Chicago men played

an unsportsman like game and although Hammond did not say anthlng regard

ing the matter, they went home with a

different opinion of the 'player than

when the game was being played. II deliberately swung his club as hard as he could and If he had struck any of the men, even on his own side he might have caused a severe Injury to some one. He was aiso helped along in this by a young lady from the balcony who said, "'If you can't hit the ball, hit Heintz," Which was also an unlady like thing to say. If we can't have clean athletics a ban might as well be placed on them, as they are detriment to the city Itself. Hammond's next game will be played Thursday night when they meet Indiana Harbor at East Chicago. ThU should be looked forward to with Interest, The Hammond lineup was: Heintz, F. Bmlth, C. . Trimble, Pannenborg, Barns and Campbell. .
