Defeat Northwestern at Basket Ball by Close Score of 28 to 25.
1.
Rounds With Bauer at Fort Wayne.
Boxing, which has been at a stand
still in Hammond for nearly tw
months, will be resumed Thursday ? HeaWWeiffM Will BOX Ten evening, Jan. 81, when the Moose will j J
put on one of the best cards that has i
ever been staged In Lake county. Matchmaker Campbell announced his list of fighters this morning and as a whole they are the classiest lot that have been rounded together in many a day. The fact that no fights have been staged In Hammond during the past two months Is not because the police placed a ban on private boxing shows but because the Moose found they were up against a losing proposition. The boxing cards run under the management of the Moose have always been clean and In no way did they ever Infract the law. So they will make another attempt to revive the popular game and If the fight fans of the region lend their support more cards are promised in he future. i
Much Interest Is being taken in the headllner for the coming show, when Art Stewart of Hammond will face Steve Ketchel in a ten-round no-de-clsion go. Both men -will endeavor to tip the beam at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock. As Ketchel has been tipped off that Stewart secured a good draw from Bat Nelson and Tommy Gary, the Chicago Heights lightweight is doing some hard training stunts and he is well aware that he Is going up against a hardy boy. Stewart Is also In hard training work at O'Connell's gymnasium and will be In condition to give Ketchel a hard fight. Considering the winner Is to meet Frankie Russell at New Orleans, both boys will furnish plenty of excitement. Pete Krost of Chicago, who has ,fought Jimmy Walsh, the English champion, and is now matched with Johnny Coulon, will take on young Bishop of Whiting in an eight-round seml-windup. Jimmy Ryan, who gained a draw
It's all aboard for Fort Wayne tonight, where a battle of "hopes" Is on.
' A big delegation of Chicago fight fans will Journey to the Indiana town to see Jess Willard, the big boy who claims ' he bested Luther McCarty in a ten1 round New York bout, show what what he can do in ten rounds againsfii the ' newest of new "hopes, " Frank Bauer ' by name. Willard. declaring that he will do 1 the job up" to a nicety, left last night I for the battle ground. Bauer, who has been doing his training at Gilmore's j gymnasium, will leave this morning at ' 8:30 o'clock. Most of the local delega
tion of fans will board the train at 10:30, while others will depart on the noon special. Willard is In fine fettle. The cowboy finished his training by taking a four-round whirl with the gloves at O'Connell's, the other side of the exercise argument being furnished by Monte Cutler. When It was over Willard said that he was ready and anxious for the gong. At Gilmore's Bauer took a little workdut and reported that he was in good shape. Sizing up the big fellows who will mix It tonight wouldn't give any one the Impression that the result would be anything but a victory for Willard, barring a huge upset. Willard is too
big and is too strongly imbued with the fighting spirit forhls opponent, and It would be a great surprise should Bauer turn up on the winning end. The cowboy has it figured out that he will stop his man, and that looks like the correct dope.

WHAT GOLF COSTS
Figures Furnished by Glen
Oak Player Are Instructive to Others.
By Charles ("Chick") Kvana.
(Western Amateur Golf Champion.)
A mathematically inclined Glen Oak golfer has furnished me with an inter
esting table setting forth the cost of
playing golf, per hole, per game and
per stroke, for the average, player. Ev
ery Item of expense Is carefully set
down and nothing extenuated. Whether such a table Is an encour
agement to play more or less Is - a
question I leave to others to decide.
Thetable, I repeat. Is Interesting and
suggestive, and we can readily see there Is a chance to reduce the expenses somewhat and a very great op
portunity to Increase them.
Lightning calculators can now get
to work and see how they stand. Following are the Glen Oak man's figures: 192 9-hole games equals 1,728 holes. 1.728 holes equals 10,985 strokes.
10.897 strokes equals S.542 putts, 1,-
758 drives and 5.685 Irons.
3.542 divided by 1,758 makes an ave
rage of 2.04976 putt per hole.
iu,sa etiviaea by 1,758 makes an
average of 6.299 strokes per hole.
10,985 divided by 192 makes an five-
rage of 57.209 strokes per game.
xne expenses at two clubs and one
mercantile association and as a guest. Including dues, three lockers, railroad,
house account, caddlea, balls, clubs, repairs and guests, for eight months'
play was $216.20. Other figures follow.
Average cost per 9-hole game, $1.12.
Average cost per 18-hole game. $2.25 Average cost per stroke, $0.019681.
For an exceptional player the cost
per game ana. per hole would be the sames but the cost per stroke would be more since he would take fewer
strokes.
