are to the effect that Jimmy Clabby of
Hammond fought Pave Smith, the mid-

on Saturday night and put up a cork ing battle.
St arts Spring Training.
Although actual athletic training in
the Hammond high school has not yet
commenced for this season, the schoo
has enough timber from which it hopes
to build a strong team for the county
northern Indiana and state meets.
The Indications are that the school will be represented in every event in the county meet and in some instances
by two athletes. "Eggy" Crumpacker and Harry Taylor, both seniors, are expected to do some star work, Crumpacker in the hurdles and middle distance running and Taylor as pole vault-er.

The Owl club five earned the championship in a great game on the Gary Y. JFl C. A. floor a game that went with a zlm-zam all the distance, when they horned the Hammond five by a score of 21 to 19. It was a dandy game, too, and a howling mob of 150 rooters saw a fast, scrappy match throughout. The Whiting boya simply oozed with "pep" and ginger and Hammond well, you have to hand it to Hammond at that, for the pets of Dav

The Owl quintet ran away from the
Lederers in the first half, piling up the
Whiting aggregation took the Lederers off their feet and the Hammond boys did not get a start again until the last few minutes of play. The second half saw the Iederers show a different spirit and by consist
ent work they held the champs down
to a total Of 5 points. The second half was more furious than the first and when the Lederers tied the score 18-18 in the last three minutes of play the
fans simply went wild with enthusiasm. Both teams braced up again and the final interesting momenta saw the ball drop into the Whiting basket, scoring the winning three points for the Owl club. Following the game the champs received another challenge from the Lederers and the two teams will be seen in action again, when they will clash at the -Lewis skating rink, East Chicago, in about two weeks,. Although the game Saturday night was rough, as was shown by the large number of fouls that were called, the Lederers came back home satisfied that
they had been defeated fair and square,

Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 26. Johnny
Kilbane is about the busiest boxer in
America today. The responsibilities of
his new position are pilng up so fast
that the Cleveland colt seriously sug
gests a private secretary to help out Manager Jimmy Dunn. ,
The new featherweight, champion Is
playing "Three-A-Day" at a local show shop, with theatrical managers all over
the United States telegraphing rich offers for his services.
Abe Attell Is clamoring for a return match, a fact that prompted Eddie Graney of San Francisco to wire as follows: "Will give purse, of $10,000 for Kil-bane-Attell battle any day after AttellMurphy go in month of March." Manager Dunn makes the following statement in regard to the plans for the champion: "We will not talk business with Attell for six months at least. Kilbane Is entitled to make all the money pos
sible out of his new title." Abe looks as easy as any featherweight we see and he can have a return match eventually. Promoter McCarey has a right to this contest, as he gave Johnny the championship go. We will stand pat for the lx)s Angeles magnate. We open a week's theatrical engagement In San Francisco on March 5 and will then go east to fill other vaudeville dates. "I see that Attell prevailed upon Jim Jeffries to send out telegrams saying
MOGRIDGE SAVES LIFE OF PETERS, SLAB RIVAL
Waco, Texas, Feb. 26. Dire catastrophe nearly overtook the advance guard of the Sox today. That rarest of baseball gems, a promising pitcher, . was i nearly . lost through Manager Callahan's suggestion that his recruits take a swim. Benz and Peters hit the water first, i "Bltzen," in a playful mood. Started ducking Peters, and soon had the latter beyond his depth.
Callahan and Mogridge on the bank enjoyed the scene immensely until the frantic efforts of Peters to get back - into shallow water made it apparent that "Pete" couldn't swim. Notwithstanding that Peters Is also a recruit and may keep him out of a job, Mogridge saw his duty and done it heroically. He dove Into the water, and, grabbing "Pete," pulled him to the shore. Much -Jubilation resulted; also some kidding, for, said Benz to Mogridge: "What did you want to save him for? Don't you know he's after both of our jobs on the team?" L. A. ("Flame") Delhi and the luggage which was left behind arrived together today, and Callahan announced that the first real practice of the season would start tomorrow. ,
should still be considered the cham
pion. Say for us that we considered this the cheapest bit of play ever made
by a whipped man."
Attell boxes "Harlem" Tommy Murphy in San Francisco March 9. This match is now a more serious affair than when Attell signed the articles. For Abie to whip Murphy will be a big
boost for his claims to another go with Kilbane. Should, however, Murphy beat the former featherweight champion, the defeat will only stir up more of the "gone back" talk and tag Abe as a permanent member of the "has been" brigade. Just before leaving for San Francisco Saturday night Abie Attell told me an interesting story In connection with Ad Wolgast's attempt to "hog" a big bet on the featherweight championship contest. "We located a $1,000 chunk of Kilbane coin," said Attell, "and Wolgast went after it, being prepared to bet the usual 2 to 1 odds. It was understood that I was to take half the bet.
Ad covered the whole amount, and when I tried to declare myself in on
the proposition he stubbornly refused
to recognize . my claims. He thought he had a cinch bet and was going to
'hog' the thousand.
Well, as everybody knows, I lost the decision and Wolgast lost his money. It was a big sting for him, but It
gave me a chance to laugh, the only

imond making a number of difficult
baskets and displayed some clever work with the ball. Hobart's forwards were not in the best of form and seemingly
could not connect with the basket.
Although the Hammond high school
team has been defeated by Whiting
who holds the championship honors, !
they have been defeating some of the best teams during the past month and are anxiously waiting to get another look at Whiting.
Whiting has one of the best quin
tets in its high school history and when
the two teams clash again in the near future there will be a game well worth
seeing. Whiting captured the last
game with Hammond with a close margin of 3 points.
Hammond will have two games this
week when they will meet the Hobart high school at Huehn's hall Friday night and will journey to South Bend
Saturday night. The game at South Bend Is expected to be one of their hardest games and preparation Is being made to put in some hard practice work.

men far out of his class.
In spite of the fact that Xelson is now In the best condition since he started on the "come back" route, the local fans are offering odds that- Nelson will not knock out Togo. The Bane has stated publicly that he will
win by a knockout, but he has not of
rered to wager any money on the
proposition.
Togo's manager has been negotiat

with Togo, to take place here on April 1. the occasion being a big one locally because of the dedication of several
new local enterprises.

Togo has been seen in action many times here and he is looked upon as a world-beater in his class. He has not, however, met a heavier man of the class of Xelson, and this fight is looked upon as a crisis In the upward, march of the little Jap. Nelson and Togo will fight at catch-
weights. Nelson, fresh from a long vacation at Hot Springs, will go into the ring weighing nearly 145 pounds, Togo has been putting on weight for this fight.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 2. Local figh
fans are anticipating the ten-round

"K. O." Brennan with much interest.
Rrennan is conceded an excellent
chance to-win with a sleep producer.
Charges of bad faith were made yes
terday at the University of Chicago against, the athletic officials of Wisconsin and Minnesota, with the sum
mer baseball "whitewashing" proposition as the bone of contention. The Midway basketball players and pro
fessors accused the badgers and goph
ers of playing "suspects" on their bas
ketball teams in violation of the con
ference rules, and a warm squabble is
due among the "big eight" schools over
the matter.
The MIdwayltes protested against the
competition of Toungman on the Wisconsin basketball team and of Wan-
less on the Minnesota quintet, declar
ing that both of these men were un
derstood to be ineligible under the
present, statutes. Both of the players
in question appeared twice with their respective teams last week, and as they
have . apparently been reinstated by
their athletic advisers, the Maroons
will call for an explanation.
The proposal to reinstate athletes
who have been charged with violating the summer baseball rules was one of
the sensations of the last meeting of
the "big eight." but the University of Chicago authorities believed it would
not become a law until it had gone through the regular "big eight" routine, wliich provides that no proposals become legal until sixty days have
passed without a protest. Wisconsin
and Minnesota have broken this agreement, the 'Midway forces contend.
GARY PINMEN LOSE. Another squad of Gary pin men were

A good-sized crowd turned out to see the game which was considered one of the best that has been staged at Hobart this season. Hammond displayed some fast team work and kept their score at a winning distance all through the game. Both teams were in excellent shape, but Hammond showed superior work In making difficult baskets. .. , Crumpacker at guard played a stellar game for Hammond blocking a number of throws that would have been counters If they had touched the basket.
