SULLIVAN WINS

MINUS PUNCH

Cincinnati. April 30. Mike Twln

Sullivan -of Boston had the better of

Harry West of this city in a ten-round

contest here last night. At no time

during the thirty mlnutea of fighting was either fighter in danger of being

knocked out.

Chief of Police McWeeny yesterday

admitted that recent decisions handed; dojvn by the state's attorney and mu

nicipal Judges left him in doubt as to his ability to stop boxing exhibitions

n Chicago. The admission was made

o Tommy Whte, who won a verdict In he city court when he was released

from charges of prize fighting, being arrested while boxing with Harry Forbes, both men wearing a mask and protector.

White was in conference with the

city police head for several hours yesterday, feeling out his chances of giv-

ng public sparring exhibitions where

the mask and protector Is used, and

from the declaration of the chief White

thinks he can stage such things without Interference. The former boxer is of the opinion that the assertion of the

police head paves the way for stage work in Chicago by such clever men as

Jack Johnson, Packey McFarland and

Johnny Coulon.

"Any of the celebrities can spar in

public now," said White last night.

The decision of the state's attorney

that h cannot prevent such affairs leaves the police without anything to stand upon, for they are not the prose

cutors. I can see no reason why the world's 'best boxers cannot sho where now with perfect assurance that the authorities will be nothing but interested spectators.

This is not a tilting of the lid in Chi

cago, but It is an opening wedge, in the opinion of followers of the . game. White says that the Forbes brothers.

Harry and Clarence, will go on in an

exhibition soon in another test case

HAMMOND GARDENS

AUCTION To repeat next Saturday & Sunday May ithat 2 b'ciock-May 5th Six Blocks South of Standard Mill Gate COLUMBIA AVENUE and FIFTEENTH STREET Take South Hohman Street cars, get oil at Columbia Avenue. Automobiles meet cars days of Auction. , LOTS $39 TO $109

Have you any idea what these prices mean? Why you can't buy a desirable lot anywhere in the Calumet Region for $200.00. Hammond has always been safe and conservative in its lot prices. From Hammond it is easy to get to Chicago, Whiting, Indiana Harbor, East Chicago and Gary. Here is the one and only chance for a man of moderate means to own a lot. Every one of these lots, is worth $100 and we are selling some of them as low as $39.00, and all on easy payments. The people who buy lots are usually the slowest to see real bargains and catch on to the fact that values are jumping up. One man in Hammond, three weeks ago, bought a place for $2,100.00. Last week he refused $6,500.00 for this same piece of property. Now maybe you can't buy such an expensive piece of property as that, it may be like running into an ice-berg, it would bust you, but anyone who really wants to buy lots and save their money can buy one or two or five of these lots and it will make you independent in five years. Quit blowing money foolishly. You may not be able to work in a few years so save up something. With a few lots, which grow in value rapidly, and a good garden, you have a chance. TWO 8300 LOTS FREE The offer of The Lake County Times will be continued. The two wageearners that give the 10 best reasons, why you should own a home in Hammond, will get these two choice lots FREE. 15TH AVEIfUE is to be paved and improved, 80 feet wide clear into Gary.

and If this goes through regular exhibitions will be staged. JrHinny Coulon Is about to move his

training quarters downtown. He Is going to stage, his workout at Nate Lewis' new gymnasium and will prepare there for his bout with Kid Solsberg, billed for New York May 8. Johnny will take on Frankie Burns in New York after this bout. Packey McFarland and his manager, Emil Thiry, returned last night from New York and the Matt Wells pleasure trip. Packey says he Is not anxious to step into the. ring again for some time, but that he will reconsider this If Ad Wolgast agrees to a date in New York. The local champion of England asserts that 'Wolgast and he could draw $50,000 In Madison Square Garden and he is willing that Wolgast should have the larger part of that money. Thiry says that Tim Hurst, manager of the garden, wired Wolgast an offer

of $15,000 to meet McFarland May 30 in New York and offered Packey $10,000 to agree to that date. Thiry does not think that Wolgast will agree to such an early date, in vie wof his battle billed with Joe "Rivers, which is to take place in Los Angeles July 4 and for which he is to get $15,000, the same amount he would make in New York. Thiry may go to the coast to act as second for Willie Ritchie in his bout with Wolgast at San Francisco May 11, and if he does he will try to come to terms with Wolgast then. Thiry says Ritchie will beat Wolgast in their four-round bout and Packey may have to take on the little coast lighter instead of Wolgast,

COAST FANS LIKE JACK BRITTON San Francisco, April 30. Lightweights Pal Moore and Jack Britton completed their arduous siege of training yesterday for tonighfs fight at Dreamland pavilion. The Chicago pugilist seems to be the better boxer, but Moore acts like one of these determined fighters who are always tearing in and trying for a decisive victory. Britton is the betting choice at odds of 10 to 9. Moore will not lack supporters, however, as his work at MUlett's has made a good impression with the fans who have visited his camp and seen him In action.

At the present rate Jack Croak is

climbing the pugilistic ladder in some of the eastern cities, it will not be many moons before he will be able to class himself among the top notehers of the country which will be welcome news to his many friends in Hammond. In the short space of four months. Croak has defeated fourteen boys, including Young Wilson, Hugo Clements, Fighting Hurley, Darkey Daniels, Tommy McGlynn, twice Young Dillon, Kid Hogan and others, besides fighting the greatest battle of the season with Kid Andrews. Last week he won two bouts and is becoming so popular among the fans in Buffalo and nearby cities that his manager Ben F. Bliver Is turning down offers for private clubs. In his last fight with Harry Baker last week Croak tipped the scales at 133 pounds while his opponent made 132. Croak started the fight like a whirlwind and kept this up all through the six rounds of milling. Croak kept on trying hard to force Baker to fight and opened himself to a lot of light

blows in an endeavor to make Baker mill it out, but he refused and made it a fade away battle throughout. This made it a slow battle and Croak was unable to get a decision better than a draw.

White is preparing himself for a grueling figtht and plans to use as many sparring partners as can be secured. Today he boxed four . rounds each with Kid Snyder, Harry Gllmore, Jr., and Jack Herrlck. Conley did very little boxing, confining himself to road work and exercising in the gymnasium.

Ixs Angeles, April 30. Champion Lightweight Ad Wolgast, who is at Wheeler Springs, telephoned in today that following a three days' hike across the country, during which time he visited various ranches, he has settled down to a regular routine of work. He will work out each day, roughing it with "Hobo" Dougherty being the principal feature. Wolgast was in good condition when he left here for Wheeler Springs, and the mountain climbing and roadwork he has done since arriving there have been of great benefit to him. The champion will keep up his work until he leaves for San Francisco the first of
