THEY

WANT CLUBBY

BADLY

AUSTRALIA

Following his recent victories over Sailor Petroskey, Eddie McGoorty, Sailor Grande, Soldier Frank Logan and a number of much-touted middleweights on the western coast, Jimmy Clabby, middleweight champion of the world, received glowing offers to return to Australia, yesterday - afternoon. A telegram received in Hammond from "Sunny" Baker of Sydney, Australia, ran ,to the following effect: "Be a sensible boy, Jimmy. Name your price and come to Australia." Ever since Clabby left the antipodes two years ago fight promoters have been offering him all sorts of Inducements to return. The decisive victory he gained over Pave Smith in their twenty-round championship battle is still fresh in the minds of the Austra

lian fight fans and it is evident that they are Itching to see him in action again. The arival of the telegram is probably the biggest inducement that Claoby has ever received. It is seldom that a promoter is willing to let fighter name his own price and conditions, and close friends of Jimmy are of the opinion that he will accept the offer. Their reason for this is the fact that Clabby is in love with th antipodes and has often been heard to say: "I am going to make another

trip to Australia, as it is one of the I heat flirht cauTitried In the world." !

Jimmy Is expected to arrive In Hammond from San Francisco the latter part of this week, and it is thought that he will reach a decision then.

It has been many years since any J-ake county high school has ever produced a gridiron squad superior or even equal to the Hammond champions of 1913. Closing Its season on ThanksHiving afternoon with an overwhelming victory over the speedy Gary high

school eleven, members of the Hammond team have made an enviable rec

ord that will be long remembered- in i the football annals of Lake county and j norhern Indiana, i One cannot go very far in speaking j of the achievements of this squad

without mentioning the name of coach Dr. Smith. "While the credit for their winning the championship and the list of victories belongs to the individual players on the team, the credit of the training and coaching belongs to Dr, Smith"With the arrival of Coach Smith in Hammond before the football season fans were dubious as to the prospecta of a fast team- - After calling for volunteers Coach Smith found that he haa

i some good material and while some ot

the players were first year men he noticed that they were willing and wlta hard work he could round them into m speedy team. He gave every spare moment to their attention and with every candidate putting his heart ana soul in 'the training work, the effort resulted in a well balanced, speedy and clever squad. Besides claiming the championship

New York, Dec 3. Displaying as much agility and boxing skill as a pair of sea lions Carl Morris and Jess Willard, so-called white hopes, hugged each other for ten rounds here last night before a hissing, booing crowd of 3,000. Willard may be called the winner, not because he put up anything like a boxing exhibition, but simply because he wasn't quite so bad da Morris. It was one of the most farcical fights staged at the Garden. About twenty real punches were landed and . they carried behind them even less steam than a lightweight could generate. Most of the time the sea lions were in a clinch, hugging each other with much fervor and seemingly reluctant to part, despite the efforts of Keferee Joh to make them fight. The continual hissing of the crowd at times awakened both men to the fact that they were supposed to be fighting, not hugging each other. At times after Joh pried them loose they proceeded to swing their arms in the general direction of each other, scattering lots of rosin on the floor with the feet, and nothing else. Both men entered the ring as though afraid of each other. This feeling never vanished. One way of prevent

ing the other from doing harm was to hug him. The other was to keep as far away as possible. Both gentlemen pursued these tactics. Morris split slightly the lip of Willard in the first round. Willard quickly retaliated and each sea lion, through this outlet, lost about four drops of gore. No more was spilled after that, no eyes were blackened, no teeth loosened. In fact, nothing of real consequence happened to either man. As the final bell rang the disappointed crowd that had doled out about $11,000 rose up as one man and let out a mighty hiss, followed by about one minute of practically unanimous booing. Willard, measuring six feet six inches, entered the ring weighing 236. Morris, six feet four inches, tipped the ringside scales at 234. Which was considerable weight and most of It seemed to be In the feet of the two gentlemen heretofore mentioned. Morris, however, provided a slight contradiction to the statement just above. Hee seemed to carry a Wttl weight in his head and used the said head quite frequently in clinches to ram the dome of Willard. This caused the referee to caution him a number of times and brought storms ' of hisses from the disgusted spectators.

of Lake county Hammond won the right to do battle for the honors of northern Indiana, but on account of the Hammond-South Bend game being called off, another meeting could not be arranged. Hammond suffered only one defeat this season, when Morocco took them into camp by a close score of 7 to 0. It was not a case of Morocco being superior In any department of the game, but that Hammond had an off day and was out-lucked. Later In the season Hammond played Morocco a tie gam" Coach Smith- is loud in his praise for each Individual on the team and in two years expects to see a number of

the 1913 squad playing college football. Principal F. D. McElroy of the Central school Is also highly elated over the showing of the football team and Is of the opinion that Hammond had the best team that has ever been organized, both in bplrit and playing ability. Prospects for the 1914 team do not

look very bright at present as seven players will graduate next spring, leaving seven new men to be broken In

next year. Among the stars who will graduate are Ewert. Hlrsch, Mette, W. Hess. Roth. L. Mott and A. Hess. A

number ot them are contemplating go

ing away to college.

HERRMANN TO ASK

BIOS FOR TINKER

Owner of Reds Plans to Dispose of Former Manager at League Meeting.

Josephus. Tinker returned to Chicago

yesterday morning from Kansas City

in time to spike a yarn to the effect that he would hold the managerial reins of the Chicago Federal league team during the 1914 neason. The return of Sir Joseph caused considerable of a stir In the ranks of the Winter League scribes, as It wa all framed up and planned to write great things about Joe and his chances of landing

a Federal league pennant for Chicago, Whether or not such an accomplish

ment on the part of Mr. Tinker would have brought him new fame, we do not know. At any rate, Joe's denial that he was about to sign with the Feds cast a gloom around the headquarters of the Winter League. Anything for

stories these days.
