All of the money in the Farmers and Cattle Raisor's Mercantile Hank has been drawn out to be taken to Hammond on the football special to bet on the lavenport A. C. against the Clabbys. "While a watched kettle never boils a scrutinized mercury will rise slowly and Hammond football fans are waxing: warmer and more enthusiastic as the temperature continues to moderate. "Fair and warmer" is the prediction for Sunday afternoon when Davenport and the Clabbys meet at the Hammond football park. Manager Miehelstetter. having- hi charge the destinies of PpLuxc Theater, went into Chicago early today to try and obtain on short notice the services of a moving picture camera man to take views of the Davenport fans as they unload from the special train, the "Howling: Hundred" and the "Pep Oang" in the bleachers and the 7 Chick Evans Says That Hammond Country Club Champion Has Tact and is Considered for Fine Job at Beverly. "Ohick." Evans, golf writer on the Examiner, has this to say of Runcie Martin, the Hammond golf champion, today: "Runcie Martin, although still a young man, has been playing in golf tournaments for something like fifteen years. I remember reading his name in headlines many times with envious admiration. He was semifinalist in the Western In 1905; led the field (Che most representative in the West) on the first day of the Western at Grand Rapids in 1914; won open tournaments at Calumet. Crnwentsla.

Arrangements have been made to entertain the visiting team and fans at the Chamber of Commerce, the F.Iks and the various hotels. taken for granted among golfers except for the unpleasant fact that it is sometimes found wanting in the stress of combat. "It is natural with his excellent j golf game and a desire for out-of-aoor employment that Kuncie should desire to turn professional. His knowledge of the game and his pleasant, tactful manner ought to make him a success at any first-class club. Rumor has it that he is being strong ly considered for the vacancy at Be -i erly. I can only say that any club i that obtains his services will be for tunate." DUNDEE WALLOPS LEONARD Ifl SIX SPEEDY ROUNDS PHILADELPHIA. PA., Nov. 16. Johnny Dundee. Brooklyn's representative in the lightweight division, scored a decided hit in this city last night when he conquered the knockout walloper from New York City, Benny Leonard, in six slashing rounds at the Olympia A. A. in a special show. Fully 5,000 fans were stunned bv the clean cut victory of the little Italian, who never gave the New York sensation a chance to get set and land his knockout wallop. It was a terrific right-hand punch to the left cheek bone in the fourth round that really gave Dundee the big edge. He caught Leonard flush on the jaw with the smash and the Gotham entry staggered back several steps. Dundee was cautious and set after Leonard in a determined fashion. Ha used long rights and lefts to the head that Benny took going away and saved himself. He was cautious throughout the round and clinched repeatedly. After this it was all Dundee.

W.ien the Army and Navy football teams go into action for their annual meeting at the Polo Grounds on November 25 there will be a goal besides victory for which the Navy probably will play as hard as for victory. Victory can come by drop-kicks, place-kicks, or safeties, but a touchdown is a touchdown, and the Navy hasn't put over one of that kind of scores on the Army since 1907, when Captain Ben Douglas had the pleasure of falling over file Army goal line. The Middies have a stronger scoring team this year than has represented the Annapolis school for some time, so it is reasonable to believe they will be able to put a dent In the Cadets' goal. They were equal to the task of slapping a close score against the powerful Pittsburgh eleven, and with this to go on it is hard to see now the Army will be able to hold them entirely free from a touchdown. Many a football star has had a chance to plant a football between the Army goal posts for the Navy since Douglas laid over that touchdown, but four classes 'have ambled their way through tne school and out into their duties aboard Uncle Sam's battleships without seeing the Navy teams accomplish that touchdown. Defeat hasn't been their lot in those Intervening years every year. Field goals have brought th j future admirals victory three times in the seven games j j played since then. In 1908 Lange j kicked a goal from placement, but the j j Navy lost, 6 to 4. field goals counting; I four points at that stage of football. i The 1909 game was called off because : jof a death at West Itoint. In 1910 Dal- 1 j ton booted one over the Army goal nosts and the .Navy won, A to u. in j 1911 Dalton repeated his stunt an ! the Navv won by the same score. j Brown made two field goals in the 1912 I game and the Middies won their third I conrecutiv.- victory, 0 to 0. I The 1912 game was the last to go to Annapolis. In 1913 Brown three times sent tne oval over th! Army goal posts, but it wasn't enough, the Army winning, 22 to 9. In 1914 and In 1915 the Army won.

The account of the "fierce" contest goes so far as to explain the mysteries of horseshoe heaving by stating that the perfection of a horseshoe jame is gauged by the sacrifice ringer column; viz.. if all pitches ivrre perfect and did not miss a shot there I would bo nothing but "dead ringers.

MILLER HUG GINS

Ail managers of ball clubs have had the experience of turning down a playing star simply because they did not take kindly to the player when they saw him in action. Here Is a tale of an experience which Miller Huggina had a year or so ago, when he turned down a suggestion to pick up Frank Gilhooley. It seems that while the Cardinals were playing a series of games in Philadelphia Frank Betcher, a former member of the team, called on Huggins and remarked: "I say. Hug. what you say to letting me scout for you? I am in business here, and have spare time that I could put in to advantage." "Well," said Huggins, "have you any one to suggest for a tryout?" "Sure," said Betcher. "Grab Frank Gilhooley." "Gilhooley? Why, that fellow is no player. I've watched him and I know." "I played. , with him for two years, and I know, too." "Well, you can't scout for me when you pick a poor ballplayer like that." Huggins has since had reason to regret his stand against Gilhooley, for he is one of the best players in the Ameircan league.
