Hammond, Whiting and Gary in Hot Windup for Thirteenth Annual H. S. Contest

(By Staff Mai.) Crown Point. Ind., May 26. "Bob" Smith and "Ted" Jessup of Hammond -on the thirteenth annual track and field meet for Hammond at the fair grounds Saturday by heorlc endeavor .n widely diverse lines. "Bob," a lanky underclassman, was entered ' in the running broad Jump by Hammond when four points were needed to win ind three to tie. Smith, who had never taken the broad Jump seriously, made 17 feet 9 inches, a foot farther than he had ever gone before. TED JKSSITP A STAR.

"Ted." the battered trainer of Jimmy Clabby, entered a field he knew little of and like Smith came out triumphant. Jessup rubbed and fanned, (lapped and kneaded the legs, chests, and muscles of twelve Hammond athletes, giving advice and encouragement, and throughout the meet working harder than he would be compelled to at a twenty-round ring engagement And because he did it voluntarily he enjoyed it all the more and is proud as a peacock. Therefore Hammond has two new and deserving heries, as have other schools in the county. It was a iSy for spectacular work, with three schools running neck and neck. IT WAS A CLOSE FINISH.

Until the last event it looked like a toss-up between Whiting, Gary and Hammond as to first place. Lowell. Crown Point, East Chicago and Hobart were eliminated early, lacking quantity though not quality. Though splendid athletes came from e,ach of those towns they were not in numbers sufficient to win a meet. ONE RECORD SMASHED. The stars were Vater . of Whiting, Hake of Gary and Smith of Hammond. Those earning honorable mention were Benson and Pederson of Whiting, the Haydens of s Lowell, A. Davidson. Richard Much and Krausse of Gary, Mette. Swanton. Hirsch and W. Hess of Hammond, Allman of Crown Point and Williams of East Chicago. Captain Hirsch of Hammond did not appear to be in the pink of condition for he lost the half mile, a race he should have won easily. In the relay Gary won, with Whiting second and Hammond third. Hirsch managed to gain on his man, Swanton broke even, but Gavit couldn't regain the ground lost by Hess, who started. The loss of the relay was merited, for Hammond did not put up a winning team. BREAKS OWN RECORD. Vater of Whiting broke his own record for the discus, a 107-foot and 8-

inch hurl. Vater's new mark Is 109 feet 2..' inches. Hirsch of Hammond made the low hurdles in 28 seconds fiat, winning first. Crumpacker's rec

ord last year was 27. Hayden of Lowell did the 220-yard dash in 24.4. Hake of Gary took the 440 at 53.4. Smith of Hammond vaulted 10 feet 7 inches.

and in the high Jump Rose of Hobart

made 5 feet 4 inches.

With one record broken and fast time made In all of "the track events

but two, the meet was more of a sue

cess than was anticipated. The dopesters counted too much on the past

performances of some in Hammond and Gary and not enough on the comers. All of the cities will lose one or two stars this year, but the prospects are that the 1914 meet will be better, for a horde of sturdy athletes are developing. Hammond has a comer in the eighth grade this year who has won everything In the grammar school meets in remarkable time. Gary is making good runners in her grammar schools, where they have the use of gymnasium apparatus and the swimming tank.

RAMPAGE BY CUBS BURIES CARDS 9-2

Those supposedly wilted Cubs returned to the home lot yesterday and by a burst of astounding vigor slaughtered the Cardinals in the first inning. It was a rampage which netted eight runs, almost enough to have won all the games of the lamentable eastern trip if properly distributed. The final count was 9 to 2. Ont St. Louis hurler was driven to the coop before two men were out and before the rescuer could quell the riot the Cubs had batted all around once and thret over. All but one member of the team scored. There were three bases on balls, four singles, one triple, one home run and two stolen bases rteled oft by the Trojans in the memorable opener. With the stampede suppressed, the athletes conducted themselves in an orderly manner for the rtmainder of the afternoon.' ' Occasionally bits ' of sparkling fielding were the only added thrills furnished to the llttla gathering of spectators.

another pitcher warmed up before the end of the game. Benz went on in the seventh, and what the Naps did to him was totaled up at the end of the round and found to be four runs. Benz helped the visitors to two of them by a wild pitch, and Berger also was good to them by making a bum guess and o throw to the wrong bag, which really was responsible for .all four of the Nap tallies in that session. . That was more than the Sox had a chance to make, and Manager Callahan let Clarence Smith finish.

CHOYNSKI TALKS jOF M'CARTY Pittsburgh, Pa., May 26. Joe Choynski, former heavyweight star, and now boxing instructor of the Pittsburgh

Athletic association, said today that Luther McCarty was in perfect health when he saw him last. That was a short time ago. He. said: "McCarty's death is a great blow to the pugilistic world, because we were all looking to him as the coming world's champion in the heavyweight

class. Although I have little informa- I

HAPS SLAUGHTER SOX Ifi GETAWAY

Cleveland ran away with the second game of Its aetto with the White Sox yesterday by the speaking score of 8 to 1. Those figures represent the difference in the playing of the two teams with considerable accuracy. The count might have been a lot different if Mitchell had not used violence to achieve his victory. In the sixth Inning he hit Tex Russell, his slab opponent, in the side of the head and put him down and out. At the

time the Naps were leading by the close margin of 2 to 1, and there was every appearance of a tight battle to the wire. The tall Texan was unable to continue the scrap after being bean-

ed, and it was impossible in the arctic temperature which prevailed to get

PELKEY HEARING COMES UP TODAY

Numerous doubts were expressed as to the actual cause of death. It did not seem as if there was sufficient force behind the blow to the htart to cause death, several have declared. Pelky said he did not believe his punch actually landed near the heart. It was currently rumored McCarty suffered from a. slight weakness of the heart for several days, and this, in conjunction with the excitement of the fight and the landing of the unexpected punch, is generally blamed for his death. McCarty's body will be shipped to his birthplace at Hastings, Neb., to

morrow night. The fatal ending will have the effect of putting the lid down tight on boxing bouts In western Canada. Tom

my Burns succeeded for Just one year in running bouts at his arena, located

outside the city limits.

M'CUE FIGHTS PAT

BRANNIGAN TONIGHT Milwaukee, Wis.. May 26. Matty McCue, Racine's knockerout, will be put to the test here tonight, when he hooks up with Patsy Brannig&n of Pittsburgh in a ten-round contest before the South Side Athletic club at Elite rink. Though Matty Is the favorite In the betting, there are many who believe he is facing tougher game than he contemplates, and a reverse of his recent showing is looked for by them. Fans who have seen McCue In his late fights overlook the f act that the Irishman from the east has faced some of the best boys In the profession and has triumphed on many occasions. To listen to the talk handed out by the Pittsburgh boy's admirers, it should not be a surprise if Patsy hands the Wisconsin lad something that resembles a good lacing. Brannigan, besides being a classy boy, is being handled by Jimmy Dime, a veteran manager, who plans to pull oft some things that are unknown to the McCue party. "If McCue is better than Kllbane, Attell and Jimmy Walsh, then he will be defeated, but if he isn't look out for

Patsy," said Dime.

Five bouts are on the card for . the popular-priced show, prices ranging: from 60 cents to $2.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 26. The Sunbeam and Peugeot cars yesterday upset al dope by equaling If not eclipsing the work of the American cars in trial flights on the speedway. Now the task of picking a winner for the 600-mile grind here on Memorial day Is harder than ever. Guyot and Goux avtraged eighty-five miles an hour In practice spins, the former ivith the English champion and the latter with the French machine. Bob Burman was the only domestic star whose efforts compartd with the showing of the foreigners. The speed king celebrated his return to the track by eclipsing the record of Howard Wilcox for a lap, negotiating the two and one-half miles In 1:37:04, an average of approximately ninety-one miles an hour. Burman made the record In an exciting clash with the thret Stufs cars, which he passed on the first turn. Wild Bob also accomplished several other feature stunts by traveling twenty-five miles at an average which bordered closely on ninety miles an hour. The real feature of the American's

driving, however, was the fact that his tires are showing no ill effects from

the fearful test he is putting them to. ' Burman is reckoned a strong favorite now. In the French camp he alone Is feared. J Guyot's trial of the Sunbeam came close to ending in a tragedy. He came t nearer an accident than has any driver this year. A negligent mechanic had

failed to tighten the right front wheel, and when the Frenchman wheeled his car into the garage it was found that a few slender threads were holding the . wheel from slipping off. Guyot was obviously perturbed, and Crossman, his mechanic, said the escape from a smashup had been uncomfortably close. j Although Guyot and Goux In the Sunbeam and Peugeot confessed they did not open the throttles, they easily ! negotiated the laps in 1:41 and 1:42.' Guyot traveled lap after lap averaging ,

eighty-five miles an hour, and con

sistency was the Ieature of every!

round. Goux shut off his motor from the turns, but even with coasting he was abole to make several laps in 1:45. The only impediment to his effort was the wear on his tires. He lost a right rear at the end of twenty-five miles. The Sunbeam was not bothered by this trouble.
