Fight fans of the 1 Calumet region who have been clamoring for a rehabilitation of the game will have another opportunity this evening of boosting the sport. The promoters have rounded up enough well-known talent to give assurance of an interesting evening. Like the recent Clabbylllcks go at the Hammond theater, the event this evening is to be staged in a manner to make it attractive for gentlemen. The main Interest, of course, centers in the windup in which Carl Anderson is to demonstrate his prowess as a comeback. Jimmy Clabby, who has been supervising his training as well as that of his younger brother, Eddie, who will figure in the semi-windup, volunteered the statement today that Carl was never in better condition for a fight than he is tonight. Kddle has at all times given a good account of himself and Is expected to repeat tonight. It is conceded by all the fans that Anderson goes up against a tough neighbor in Tim O'Neil, and the Irondale face trimmer has a lot of friends in Hammond. Loyalty to home product assures 'Anderson a big bunch of

Wet and colder and maybe a little wetter are the cheerful words the weather sharp submits to the west side fans, meaning the kind of climate they may expect today at the opening splash between the Cubs and Cardinals. It is a bum outlook and both teams are on edge, too. They might have to stay on edge to keep out of the water. No use saying anything about starting the season too soon. That stuff has been pulled to the breaking point. Rather let us string together a few words concerning the athletes preparing to combat in our city. Both Cubs and Cardinals have wallowed in the rising waters of the near south, played practice games with bush and minor leaguers, and followed other customs in vogue from time immemorial. Therefore, the Cubs and Cardinals are in the P of K. meaning pink of kondltion, and if not why not?

Washington, D. C. April 10. Dropping tariff schedules temporarily for the baseball schedule. President Woodrow Wilson Is expected to open the American league season here between Washington and New York by tossing the first ball this afternoon. This Is the program, but it all depends upon the weather man. Indications are none too favorable for today, with rain and cool weather predicted. Although probably not quite as en
thusiastic a "fan" as former President Taft, President Wilson has accepted the "presidential pass" and hopes to
attend many games. Plans have been completed for to
day's struggle and prospects are that local "fans" will be out in full force
