MICHIGAN CITY TAKES THE SECOND GOLF

MATCH

On their own grounds aa was predicted Michigan City golfers last Saturday afternoon defeated the Hammond golfers 15 to 7 In the second of the series of matcheB for the silver cup provided by the golfers of the two clubs. Michigan City played a much stronger game than they did at Hammond and had their team arranged in better shape while the local men found the beautiful Michigan City course with its streams, gulleys, hills and swail a hard nut to crack. The Hammond men found nearly all the trouble fhere was to find on the course which is hilly and rolling:. Their mashie shots were not nearly as effective as Michigan City and being unable, through unfamiliarity with the course to judge their drives so as to avoid trouble found themselves up to the hilt In it. John I. Rohde played the star game for Hammond. On the fourth a 405 yard hole with the putting green In the toe of a piece of ground surrounded on three sides by

a creek, his second shot carried him within 4 feet of the cup and he holed out Jn 3 what has par five. The Hammond roeu were met at the

South Shore depot by autos and taken j

to the links by the Michigan City men. After the match, dinner was served at the club house and auto rides given

GLOOM SPILLED ALL

FOOTBALL TEAM PROSPECTS

A blanket of gloom was spread over the flaming hopes of fandom Saturday by the announcement of two football heroes that they are returning to college in September. A bucket of cold water is standing in the corner for use in case the blase la sufficient to consume the blanket. It would be fatal as Jt always has been the lack of public

Bernard Plum and Prank Blocker, two heavyweight football men from Purdue, will continue at school this year. Blocker denies that he flunked in German saying that he has been confused with another Plum who is preparing for a professional life as well as Blocker states that he would very much like to play with the "All Starteam that is being talked of but that m fa In hnn.i nf V1nsr jtllflhlA fflf foot

collegians have won their spurs on the Purdue diamond. An Old Question. "Where is the money coming from?" fans ask, "Will eltizens subscribe enough to put the team in the field. The day when athletes were willing to play their heads olT for applause has passed. They all want money, and good pay at that.' Though HarjimonJ has' the material for a gieat football organization it has not . the grounds to play on or the money to play with. " Enthusiasm Is about senj as fandm realizes this. It remains for Jimmy Clabby, the public spirited champion, to promote his team of juniors. Ralph Young of Crown Point, Matt Sternberg of Indiana Har-

ibor, Joe Miller, Will Atwood, Garrett, ! Reil, Doherty. Murray and the other

candidates for the "All Star" aggregation who hav signified their desire of playing together will not all of course be eligible for the Junior team as they average 188 pounds.

HURT CLABBY'S REPUTATION? Tom Andrews, the Indianapolis sporting writer, says of the recent Clabby-Hicks fiasco: "The contest between Jimmy Clabby, claimant of the middleweight championship, and Freddy Hicks at Butte, Mont., this week was a sore disappointment to tha friends of the clever Hammond boy. From reports of the battle the referee was not sure whether to call it 'no contest or let them go ahead, but he finally let them go the limit of twelve rounds and decided it a draw. To begin with, it was a poor match, because Clabby is altogether too clever for a boy of Hicks' class and also for the reason that the two boys have been the best of friend and Jimmy has always been known for his soft heart when it comes to helpingo ut a friend. The chances are that Jimmy tried to box to please the people, but it is a hard matter to do so against a man who is so much inferior at the game and. as a result, he got a roasting for hi& pains. "If Clabby deliberately planned to let Hicks stay the twelve rounds, then he deserves the severest censure, but it is incredible that he would be so foolish, knowing that It would cost him big money in the lo&s of important matches by any such action. It Is often the case that a big, strong, awkward fellow like Hicks makes it almost' impossible for a clever man like Clabby to make a good showing and it is the matchmakers who are to blame for putting on a bout of that kind. Clabby's reputation has been absolutely clean so far and it is hard to believe that he would try to hoodwink the public by any fake methods."

FOE TO,SALOON? Brewers Among Those Who Are Alarmed?

STUDY "ANTI-" SEWER COMPLAINT To better acquaint themselves with the complaint to enjoin the board of public works in the building of a deep sewer system the board has sent City Attorney John Gavit to Crown Point to digest the lengthy document filed by Attorneys Whinery and Gillett last week. .First public knowledge of its contents was given In The Times on Tuesday. The antis will try and show that the complainants are damaged by the sewer as a sewer, and pavement not yet paid for, will have to be torn up. According to legal authority on both

sides there is a confusion of law. At least each make different assertions, one saying that a city-wide improvement cannot be held up by the interests of one property owner, and the other that it can.

Amid much outcry against the cheap motion picture theaters raised by persons of the so-called "upper class" is heard another note. It is reported on good authority that the brewers and saloonkeepers are joining the ranks of those who view with alarm the rising flood of "movies." It Is said that nickels that heretofore found their way into the cash registers behind the bars are now going into the coffers of the picture show proprietors. The young men who in the past have sought sociability in the- corner saloons are going to the movies inptead, and taking their women folk with them. If this Is so, It may be that the "superior" folk will adjust their supercilious glasses to a new focus.

Mexico City, Mexico, Aug. 11. The arrival of John Lind, whose mysterious mission to Mexico was the direct cause of a public manifestation yesterday in support of Gen.
