This will be White's first appearance In a California staged battle. He was given the date against the Mexican
Idol after many weeks of hard work
on the part of Harry Gilmore, Jr., who
Insists that White is the hardest puncher since the days of Herrera.
What will Abe Attell's alibi be now that , the former featherweight champion has been decisively beaten by the veteran. Tommy Murphy? I'll make one guess on a chance. Abe is due to pull the old-time stuff that inns something Jlke this: "I've been boxing and training too much. I'll go to the mountains for a long rest, and when I come back I'll prove to the world that I'm "as good as ever, etc., etc." You all know the tune.
In view of Attell's defeats at the hands of Kllbane and Murphy It strikes
me that possibly the New York boxing
commission handed Abe an unjust sen
tence when he was suspended foo box
ing in the Empire state for six months
on the charge of "pulling" to Knock
out Brown. He has simply reached the
end of his string, and a long, sensa tlonal sort of string it has been.

Both teams played fast basketball, but the Owls were outclassed by the fast Hobart team. The game started off with a rush, neither team securing &
basket until about five minutes of the
game. This got Whiting's goat and j then It was an easy matter for Hobart '
to run up the score. - The first half ended with the score 19 to 11 in favor of Hobart. Between halves some wrangling was carried on between both captains in regard to dribbling. The Whiting crew foresaw that the good work of Hobart's center, Stlnchfleld, in this stage of the game would beat them, so they aald It was foul and tried to eliminate It from the game. A look at the rule book, however, proved that they were in the wrong. The second half then started, the Hobart players playing faster than in the first, and soon gained a big lead, which the Owls were unable to overcome.

EAST CHICAGO. ! (Communicated.) C P. Buriiick, who has been chair
man of the finance committee of the
Associated Charities since that organi
zation started one year ago, has ten
dered his resignation to the president of the society. Mr. Burdick has been
such an efficient officer that the As

his services. He engineered the baseball game and the charity ball, both of which were great social and financial successes. In both events Mr. Burdick had splendid help from many prominent men and women of the Twin Cities. As a result the association was able to begin work and has done much god during this seere winter. Mr. Burdick.' s resignation will be sincerely regretted. He worked quietly, but effectively. Business duties are the only reason assigned. He declares his heart is in the work and he will remain on the committee merely relinquishing the chairmanship. No successor has been appointed.

many fouls, especially in the Culver ; game, and as a result the game was one of the roughest that Whiting has participated in this season. Culver continually tried to rough it and as a consequence several minor injuries and bruises were received by the Whiting men. Culver was called many times for holding and guarding with two men and as a result Whiting scored nearly half of their points on free throws. WOIF LAKE-WHITING GAME. Neither team displayed any great amount of science on account of their debut on a dirt floor. Whiting scored the first point when Pedersen scored a neat basket from a difficult angle. Taggart retaliated in kind with a basket that brought Waif Lake into the scoring column. Winbrenner then came back with three baskets in a row, giving Wolf Lake a momentary lead, until Whiting marked In time to tie the score, ending the first half with 9 to 9. After a short talk by Coach Hoover Whiting came back strong in the second half and began a steady march to the lead.

All the Oil City squad displayed good form, but literally speaking, Girard, the fast little forward, shone head and shoulders above all. He was in the game at all, times, his contribution towards the victory being thirteen points. He, hit the goal from 11 angles, several of them being of the sensational style. In all he managed to register three field goals, while he made seven points from his free throws by his accurate pegging. As Girard did not wish to "hog" all the points he left
one goal for Pedersen, who threw one
of the prettiest baskets of the game. Vater at center played his game with
the same old consistency and from the
start to the finish he had the Jump on his opponent. He played a great game in guarding. Wlterever you saw the ball you could pick out Vater, as he was in the game at all times. Although he had several opportunities of shooting for a basket, Vater played his game by tossing the ball to the forwards. Following the game Whiting received many compliments from the Notre Dame and school authorities and if chances ever warrant it again the Oil City boys will always be welcome at St. Joseph county.

AGAIN WINS AT POLO
BY SPIKE.) Indiana Harbor poloists again took Fast Chicago into camp at the Lewis skating rink Saturday night by winning an easy victory with a 2 to 0 score. Indiana Harbor showed some class on those little rollers and cleverly demonstrated that they were there with the goods, displaying some wonderful ' team work- -The first quarter resulted in a 0-0 score. They not' only played their best
game of the season but easily proved that they now have a team that will line up against the best in this vicinity. Indiana Harbor has played some wonderful polo during their last two games, taking F.ast Chicago for two straight and now promise to put in a bid for the county championship. Some parts of : the quarters were rough but the game was fast and was one of the best that has been pulled off at the Lewis rink this season. Only two injuries occurred in the game when Hewig was struck by a hard drive. Time was called for five min
utes and account of his injury but he was able to resume play again. Another drive landed in the balcony, striking one of the fans in the eye causing a slight cut. Perkins and especially Sternberg played their stellar games of thee season. Their team work was most perfect and the clever way in which they handled that pellet, brought' many applauses from the audience. About 300 fans watched the interesting game and are anxiously waiting when Hammenl will live up against the champs this week. The Dave Lederers of Hammond will line up against Indiana Harbor next Thursday night at the Lewis rink. A close game is expected and a large crowd is expected. A week from Saturday Hammond will take on Ea3t Chicago. J. . Pannenborg . acted as referee and French as offcial time-
