East Chicago Bouts Bring Out Best Attendance Had There Yet. THE NEXT FIGHTS. George "Knockout" Brown, the Greek fighter, will take on Ray Proctor, a Chicago middle, in a tenround bout at East Chicago Saturday. This match was made yesterday. Proctor is said to be a fast boxer, who has had several battles In private, but who has not done much public boxing. The men have agreed to weigh in at 158 at 3 o'clock. Columbus, O., promoters were in Chicago yesterday dickering with Charlie White, the featherweight, and Brown, to make the trip there for matches in the near future. Brown is wanted to meet Kid Clark April 8, but the oponent for White has not been named. East Chicago promoters also want White to meet Clarence Forbes or Frankle Burns March 30. White has accepted all the matches. Fight fans who journeyed to the East Chicago Coliseum Saturday night to witness the boxing exhibitions staged by Manager Joe Simpson were certainly well repaid. Five bouts instead of four, as originally advertised, were put on. Kid Halles and Kid Williams were substituted for Tommy Murphy of Chicago and Jack Doig of Gary owing to an injury which the former received in a bout at Milwaukee Saturday. Both men, however, were preserrt. Tommy Downey refereed the first four bouts In an- excellent manner. Dave Barry, ex-champion lightweight, was the third man in the windup and had excellent control oftthe fighters, it needing but a word to cause them to break. The first bout between Halles and Williams was an even affair, both men doing good work. Ray Godson and Duke Blaney of Chi cago went four fast rounds with Dodson having a shade, although neither man was damaged.

Whiting Loses Out After Game Tights

Nosed Out of State Championship at Bloomington on Saturday Night.

1 With a brass band and a hundred loyal friends i Whiting High School's champion basketball team was welcomed back to Lake county yesterday afternoon when the Monon train pulled into the depot at Hammond from

Bloomington. " I Whiting High lost the morning game with Franklin High in the men's j gymnasium of Indiana university by a score of 29 to 21, and Whiting bad all the hard luck of the match throughout and, of course, the loss of the morning game put Whiting out of the running. Lebanon High School de-j feated Orleans by a score of 28 to 13 in the morning game and then Lebanon and Franklin mixed at night and the Lebanon boys simply walked all over the Franklin lads, winning out by a score of 51 to 11. It wasn't a defeat, it Was just a plain every-day rout. The winning of 'the game gave Lebanon the right to the state interscholartic championship. The Whiting High School team holds the Northern Indiana championship, however, that is, north of Indianapolis, and that is glory enough. !

Jack White's "right hand punch" made its appear ance when he took a fountain pen last night and scratched his name to a receipt for his 25 per cent "cut" of the $8,746 house of Saturday. "Sorry to spoil a good story, but I'll have, to contradict the reports of my death," said White when shown a Chicago dispatch saying he was reported in that city to be in a dying condition as the result of his meeting with Mexican Joe Rivers. '.Tell them that outside of a few heartaches at losing my fight I never felt better in my life. I left the Vernon arena as good as new a half hour after the fight, and I was down visiting the newspaper offices Saturday night. Wonder who cooked up that fake death story?"

AND EIGHT SATURDAY Ernie Zanders. Tom Tagu and Dick Hammer also furnished some good sport, with Tague having a slight advantage at the end of four fast rounds. The'semi-windup, eight rounds between Kid Krug of West Hammond and Young Christie of Chicago, nroved one . ., . . . , .... of the best of the evening. Although up against a man of more experience Krug shcrwed well for a beginner and did some pretty fighting in several of the rounds. While Christie had him shaded Krng looks like a boy who should develop rapidly with proper handling and will undoubtedly be heard from. ... - . The star attraction of the evening was eight rounds at 142 pounds between Ernie Zanders and Henry Singer of Chicago. Zanders unquestionably had the better of the go, but it was hardly long enough to get a line on the men. Zanders forced the fighting most of the time and had the best of the long range work, but has a bad habit of leaving his stomach open and Singer landed some good blows there. Zanders Is matched to fight Mike Gibbons of St. Paul soon. The East Chicago club is bidding for this bout. Singer had the better of the infighting and showed he knew how to cover up, saving himself from punishment several times In this manner. Both boys put up a good exhibition. In point' of attendance the crowd was the best that has attended these exhibitions, but the clean sport that Manager Simpson is giving the public deserves better support. During the evening several boys were introduced who challenged winners of the various bouts. " maining in California and making at least one more fight here, figuring that his game showing against the all but invincible Mexican entitles him to another Vernon date. "I never knew anything after 1 ran into that right hand wallop in the second round," explains Jack. "I did my best after that, but I could not make ray real fight. I am sure that I can make good out here If given another chance." ' VICTORY FOR SOX mm HOLIDAY Callahan et al. Celebrate Properly by Defeating Dallas Team, 7 to 4. Dallas. Texas, March 18.

Man ager Callahan sent his Hibernian battery, Walsh and Sullivan, into the game. This was highly pleasing to the Texahs, who have been hungering for a look at some real major league stars. They got enough of Walsh after

Zbyszko gained one fall In 50:12 on a half nelson and scissors hold. ' After a brief rest they took to the mat again, j l ne Pole tailed repeatedly to get a punishing hold. Once or twice Demetral, while backing, dextrously plucked the Pole's massive legs from under him and brought him down In a sitting position. In such cases Zbyszko. resrted to his Billiken squat and dared the Greek to move him. The Greek could make no headway, but as Zbyszko failed to gain a second fall the Polish champion lost the match. 200,0000 AND MAYOR GREET CHAMP KILBANE Cleveland, O., March 18.
