i good gains.

The Second Half.

Steuhmer was back ln the game for

Jones ln the second half and Kohl for Nolan. Finn kicked off and VolkmanBlocker dumped him like a load oi

brick. A word ought to be said right

here for the Hammond line. Daven

port has prided Itself on lta line but

there was no comparison between the

two for the Frank Blockers were far

superior ln holding and rushing. It Is not possible to find better men than Blocker. Green. Ruffner. Sellegar, Volkman and Plum in a line no matter how fat the salaries are. After Davenport was made to kick. Galvin tore up the Iowa line for fifteen yards, Ted Blocker for seven and Galvin ran twenty-five yarda to the Hammond eight yard line. That 01 Yard Itun. Holm intercepted a Hammond pass and ran ninety-one yards. It doesn't take long to tell it but there went Hammond's football game. Meyers overlook Holm as Blocker headed the Davenport runner off and he waa downed by the two men two feet from the goal line. Frank Blocker stopped the first quarterback rush but Kuehl carried the oval over for a touchdown on the second. Wolters kicked out to Holm and Murphy kicked goal. Hammond 10, Davenport 14. Sternberg In At Half. Murphy kicked off and Meyers received for Hammond running the ball to the sixty-five yard line. Galvin plunged for five yards. Ted Blocker was stopped, Finn gained ten and then was thrown for a slight loss. Sternberg entered and Meyers was taken out and given the cheer by th fans that he deserved. Galvin punted and Wolters returned it. Hammond was penalized fifteen yards for roughing and Galvin kicked to Donovan on the thirty yard line. Kuehl gained five yards around left end and Hammond wa-s penalized five yards for offside. Davenport was penalized five yards twice In succession by Referee Green for off-side. Anyone who could find fault with the work of Referen Green was prejudiced because h showed absolute neuirality. Hammond ear Si-orlnsr. Galvin intercepted a forward pass and Fitm made twenty yards around end. Finn passed to Sternberg who gained ten yards. It weji Hammond's ball on the ten yard line and another chance for her to score, winning the game, Sternberg gained four yards and then Davenport intercepted one of those off-day forward passes. It was Davenport's ball on the Hammond three-ya.rd line and Finn received a punt and was down in his tracks on the thirty yard line. G-alvin was hell in the line and Finn carried the ball six yards. The quarter ended, Hammond 10. Davenport 14. Jones was in again for Steuhmer. It was Hammond's ball on her twentyfive yard line. Talbot went In for Galvin. Hammond was held for downs and in turn Dav-nport was stopped, being forced to kick. Runberg relieved Freebtirg for the Iowa team. Talbot gained five yards and fumbled. Magerkurth of Davenport recovering the ball. Holm was thrown for a two yard loss by Talbot and Jones dumped three yards back of his line. Wolters punted. (Doesn't this running story of the game show that Hammond was out-play1ng Davenport two to one on straight football?) Sternberg received a pass and made five yards. Finn gained five and Hammond had made downs. Talbot was god for a couple of yards. Meyers went in for Sternberg. A pass was made to Kohl but it went too high and he didn't get under it. It was Davenport's ball on the thirty-eight yard line. Davenport was penalized for being off-side. Davenport fumbled and Hammond recovered on her twenty-two yard line. The bitter fight at the close of the game began when the Clabbys were like desperate soldiers. Clabby'a Last Chance. Ted Blocker gained three yards off gard and Davenport wes penalized two yards for taking extra time out. Hammond was on the nine yard line withlee than two minutes to play. Talbot gained two yards. Blocker two and then Ted was held. Talbot went ff tackle and advanced the ball two feet. Hammond was held for the fourth down on the two yard line. It was growing dark and fans were utterly exhausted from the excitement while the two teams were badly worn. Ten minutes earlier in the game Ham

mond could have gone through for a;

I touchdown. Davenport allowed her t.'nail a man ith the bail back of the j f line for a safety m ordr that low.i I ecu Id loKf the ball in her possesvlo.i ; on the tvt-iity yard line and kieke l. j

It WW a dark, and gloomy night. Davenport had four men on the team who can do the 100 ln 10 fiat. The visitors had some good dropkick ers along, but never used them. "Pro" football has come to say ln Hammond. You can put that in your diary. "Clink" Meyers should change his brand of chewing tobacco. Better luck nezt time 'Vlink." "Passing Show" saw the game and sobbed aloud, but there -wasn't a wet eye in the house. Fully two thousand people saw the game but the box office receipts didn't show It by a jug full. The only times that Hammond has had a band this year she has lost. Moral: "Why the band?" Paul Parduhn covered center field but got no chances except to leg a kid wfoo crawled ln under the tent. i m Among the ardent Cla.bby fans is Peter Crumpacker. If Pete had only got out an injunction after the first touchdown.

Flappy Monnett had taken four

boxes of throat lozenges Just for the occasion and did some plain and fancy yell-loading. What the Davvies did to some of those forward passes was agonizing. It wa heartbreaking. It was what Sherman said war is. Every paper in Davenport sent a man along with the team to cover the game and they passed many compliments about Hammond. If the Davenporr. fans had brought something else besides carfare with them, they could have taken home a lot of Christmas money. The Clabbys gained three yards to the Iowa's nix in straight football and the ball was in Iowa's territory for nine-tenths of the game. The pee-rade before the doings was a spectacular affair and made Hammond's loop look like the heart of a

college town for a few minutes.

Davenport's back field was fast as chained lightning and it was 10 to 1 among the knowing that it would be all day if those backs got loose. The Davenport Rooters" Association brought along a fancy lot of yells which they unbottled during the game

end before It principally before it.

A lone freight car on the M. C. switch gave a lot of panhandlers a good chance to see the game free. "Must be republicans," one cruel wag said. One of the high lights of the game

was the smoke the Iowans brought along as a trainer. He has had some

experience at getting out of melon patches. Izzy Chayken the w. k. sporting impressario had the long end of a $20$16 bet with a Davenport fan and

will feed a press very fast this week

to catch up.

JIMMY WRITES

A LETTER

In six trials with thfc pigskin Gal

vin carried the ball 50 yards and should have been allowed to make his

own touchdown for he had never fail

ed to make his distance.

Sternberg of Indiana Harbor didn't

have the opportunity to gain yesterday as he did a week ago. The fact Davenport ends boxed up the plays before Sternie could get away.

John Finn, the human greased pj.

never shone to better advantage. He

was never stopped once without making a gain, and his elusiveness was remarkable. There was no stopping him. The management should provide a

wider exit for the crowd. Several peo

ple were jammed in the crush going out and one lady was slightly hurt.

This should be taken care of before

the next game. Hammond's tendency to fumble wao fatal. It cost the boys a hard game and a magnificent game. The score should have been 10 to 0 in favor of Hammond. That was the relative strength of the two teania. 'Frank Hitchcock, exalted ruler of section C in the grandstand, never lost faith in the Clabby's ability to win the game even with the black cloud of a 1-10 score and a fumble, and hoped that a miracle would happen at the last moment. Those who saw the Fort Wayne game are emphatic in their assertion that if Hammond could only meet the Friars again the latter would be wiped off the football map. Hammond believes it has the professional football championship of Indiana despite the Friars' technical victory.

Before she lined up for the kick the game was called with the two point margin in Davenport's favor. The Clabby fans sent Melvin 'Monnett to Davenport to get a football team. And he certainly did. Davenport compares very favorably with Racine in strength although the two halfbacks with Racine were better at straight football than any two men the visitors had in their backfield yesterday. Davenport is the best drilled team the Clabbys have played this year.

It is One of Those Rare Epistles From Jimmy Clabby, the Fighter. Jimmy has written an interesting letter to Jim, and those who know something of Jimmy's record as a composer of epistles will be curious to learn what it contains. About once (n every two years Jimmy Clabby writes a letter, lit will gladly fight a twenty-round battle in the squared circle every month, but the on big; obsession In his life is those thinzs that begin "Just a few lines, to let you know." and end. "Well, that will be about all this time." In this letter, Jimmy, as is his wont, addresses his proud dad as "Jim." The date is Sydney. Australia, October 25. and the letter has just reached James Clabby. Sr.. in Hammond. It tells of the last fipht with Darcy and gives some inside information. The Hammond middleweight writes as follows: Starts With aa AUM. "Dear Old Jim: "I would have written before only I missed the boat every time. (That is the alibi.) Everything is going along fine with me. I box Fred Kay next Saturday night, October 28. so I have been working for the last two weeks very hard. This fellow Kay is not a rood fljrhter. but he is a hard fellow to heat one of those rlght-hand-out fellows. I suppose you read about my fight with Darcy. Well, they bet even money that he would stop me inside of twenty rounds. So Vandenberg and myself bet twenty-five hundred dol?ars that he could not stop me. And I suppose you know we won our money. For the first ten rounds he didn't bit me. I boxed rings around him, and when I got tired I held on. "It was one of the easiest fights I ever had. Tom McMahon had two fights and won both. George Chip and Darcy boxed and Darcy murdered him in a couple of rounds. Chip never had a chance. Darcy punched him full of holes. Joe Chip was beaten by Dave Smith in twenty rounds. Well, Jim, that horse of mine fell and broke his neck. No more jumping horses for me. "Give my love to all the folks and best wishes to the boys and all the best wishes for yourself. "Tours as ever. "JIMMY.
