THE TIMES.
S FOE T
NDOOR SPORTS ARE POPULAR - i
Since basket ball, indoor baseball and roller plo have been tossed Into the discard by Hammond athletes and amusement seekers, their stead has been taken in bowling, pool and billiards and it is evident that the popu
lar indoor sports are here to stay.
Never before has bo much interest been taken in the a.bove pastimes, and all billiard halls and bowling alleys report a flourishing business. In order to keep the interest alive owners of the various billiard halls and bowling alleys are preparing for special features such as billiard, pool and bowling tournaments, the winners to receive valuable prizes. Arrangements are now being made for a three-cushion billiard and a pool tournament and
already some of the ' best cueists in Hammond have acknowledged their intention of entering. An interesting pool tournament is now in progress at one of the parlors and the weekly prises are bringing in a large number of entries. There is now a question among the Hammond cueists as to who is the most expert pool and billiard player in the city. There are many clever men, of whom are Towle, Sllngsby, Clabby, Snyder, Love and Tuttle. Bowling is also taking an active part in the winter's sport and with the Hammond city tournament and ragtime contests in progress, the various plnmen are In a high pitch of excitement. One of the. most interesting bowling matches that has been staged in Hammond in many moons will start at . Towle & McCool's alleys next Mon-, day night, when Nelson and Jacques will roll for a $100 side bet. A total of twenty games are scheduled to be rolled, ten the first Monday and on the following Monday ' the remainder will be rolled at Cox's alleys.

Pal Moore and Charley White, two of the best 128-pounders now wearing boxing gloves, are going , to fight at Kenosha next Monday evening all right, but after the battle the strong
arm of the law, not that of the referee, will hoist aloft the gloves of the ringmen, and a perfectly good Kenosha policeman will say, "Boys, you are pinched for boxflghting." In other words, the lads in the main event, perhaps those in the prelims, are to be held by Kenosha city authorities until they get bail, and a test cas made of the coming quarrel. Moore and White know all about this and are not worrying, so Bonehead Barry may glean from the facts above mentioned that a favorable decision is anticipated. It seems that the state officials in Wisconsin are for clean boxing shows But Kenosha's mayor wants to be" shown, and so they are going to show him. Gloves are flying in many of the Badger towns this winter, notably Milwaukee, Fond du Iac, Madison, the state capital, Superior, Racine and other places. But Kenosha Is the first spot where they have concluded to take a chance in the courts. - A boxing bill legalizing ten-round encounters with five-ounce gloves already is up In the Wisconsin state legislature and will be voted on soon. But Mayor Head of Kenosha says he is not going to wait, even if the state officials are willing to let the glovemen go along as hereto

They wrestled an htjur and & half at Montreal last year and ' Zbyszko was unable to obtain a fall. In his last bout here Zbyszko showed more aggressiveness than at any previous time, and some claim he is the equal of Frank Gotch. Besides the
heavyweight bout, three lesser bouts wfll be put on as preliminary to the I main event, all to a finish. One of the I
