BROWN S HARD FIGHT TONIGHT AT E. CHICAGO

Knockout Brown, who claims he Is

the best of the middlewelghts -over a

long route, will attempt tonight before Joe Simpson's East Chicago club to

demonstrate tht he can travel soma in a ten-round affair. The Greek wild

man Is to step this distance with Roy

Parker, the south side steam fitter. The. fight is for a comfortable side bet, and in addition will decide the ownership of large chunks of coin that have been posted by friends of the two middle-

weights. ,

The fight this evening will, determine whether or not the knockout per

son Is to remain among the top notchers of the middlewelghts. Defeated by

Parker, who is something of a ring tyro, Brown will have a hard time convincing promoters that he Is good enough to mingle with , the' .top' notch-

ers of the 158-pound class. Victorious

in the tussle with the Crown A. C.

strong man. the Greek will be in line for a match with Eddie McGoorty, who Is some pumpkins in the middleweight class Just at present as a result of his

clean-cut, although none too convincing triumph over Kelly. McGoorty, through his manager,

Marty Forklns, agreed last night to

give Brown a match provided he wins tonight. Eddie is none too sure of an

early contest with Klaus or Dillon. If Promoter Jimmy Coffroth insists on

postponing what he styles the middle-J

weight championship go between Mc-j Goorty and the victor of the Klaus-I

Dillon go today, Eddie will stick around

Chicago and take on all comers.

Brown has agreed to let McGoorty

make 168 at 3 o'clock In the afternoon,!

and also take down 35 per cent of the j gate, merely to show that he. Is among I

the best at the weight. Parker has a number of friends, and j the bout out across the Indiana line this evening will draw a big crowd of Chicago fans. The arena where the huskies will hook up will seat 3,000 people, and Promoter Simpson thinks he'll come close to filling the plac at the popular prices he's charging. Parker's friends are betting that Brown can't stop him, and the Greeks of the city have been putting up real money that Brown will live up to his righting prefix. The Chicago delegation to the fight Is promised that the contest will be over In time for the fans to catch a 11:16 train back to Chicago, which will get the local spectators back home by 12:30. Arrangements have been made to take care of the crowd going out on the 6:15 Pennsylvania train.

WOULD NOT SETTLE IT

The . Sporting Editor of THE TIMES acknowledges the receipt of a communication from Whiting asking him to pick an all Lake County High school basketball team to settle an argument. Even were he to do so ,the argument would Btlll remain unsettled for the contention that such a selection would stir up would by no means fix the personnel of a team of All-Stars in the minds of the various schools and THE TIMES must beg to decline to be drawn into any controversy.

INDIANA HARBOR Pastor H. A. Carpenter ;announce3 that a fine program has been prepared for the services at the Christian church tomorrow. Evangelist T. J. Legg will

Three O'clock. Mr. Swingle, Bible Scholar and Lecturer, who has addressed very interested audiences for the last three Sundays, will speak again next Sunday In Odd Fellows Hall, East Chicago, at thjree o'clock on the subject: "Will Satan Ever Die?" Nearly all the wickedness, sorrow, and suffering of the world has been charged up to Satan, so that It ought to be very interesting to know how long Satan will live and continue to carry on the evil work that, in the past, has been attributed to him. Mr. Swingle will also tell something of ths history of the demons over whom Satan is said to be prince, telling about their work In the past and what may be expected or them soon. This lecture will be entirely free and everybody Is invited to be present.

innings Thursday the kids did yesterday in the easiest kind of fashion, winning a quick game by a score of 5 to 0.

The reasons the youngsters were giv

en this opportunity were two-fold. Firstly, It was cold and threatening, and secondly a wire came from Mem

phis announcing that Saturday's game could not be played there on account

of a flooded field.

consequently, arrangements were

made with President Ball of the local

club to fill in the open date here today,

making three games Instead of two In

the series. The veterans will get another crack at the Barons today If the

weather moderates.

San Francisco, Cal., March 23.

Frank Klaus and Jack Dillon, two

claimants for the middleweight cham

pionship, will clash today at CofTroth's

Daly City arena in the most important

of the elimination contests wnlch the

local promoter has mapped for the next few months.

This contest promises to be one of the best middleweight fights ever staged by Coffroth. The men appear to be well matched and each is capable

of taking a lot of punishment. All the trouble In Klaus' right hand has disappeared and Frank will be able to use this member to its best advantage. In the bout with Petroskey, Klaus' right bothered him considerably and he was not able to show at his best. However, Klaus will carry his full fighting force Into the ring this afternoon and if he Is beaten he will have to acknowledge Dillon is the better man. "I feel quite confident of winning," said Klaus today. "Of course I do not look for an easy fight, as I consider Dillon very close to the top of the heap

in xne miaaieweignt division. I am going to try and win from the tap of the gong. Dillon Is clever and fast and I probably will experience some
