Makinir ihat statement of fact ia far from unorking any excitable. surprising news. It was just about as nine-u-nths of the fans had doped the match. The only thing that was wrong' vith the doping was that Eritton iidn't beat White by constantly jabiing h'm with that marvelous Brittou left he beat him by employing about very port of punch that there is in the calendar of wallops. , The famous finale of the 1916 arena eason of the Armory A.

This time it was not the fault of Britton that t wasn't, for once at least he worked is it Is well known that he can. and by doing so he achieved just the reuit that he should have.

Jim calls him the Wonderfully Willing Welling, and he lived up to that adverb and adjective last night. Joe got the revenge he has been hankering for these many months, coming bac k borne from Broadway and, with his West Side gang present, handing Ever Hammer a lovely licking in. ten busy rounds. Joe knocked Hammer down twice In the eighth and won so far there was no , question about the popular verlct. -After watching these two Chicago boys try to punch holes In each other for half an hour one is forced to draw two conclusions. One is that Welling is a vastly improved battler and the other is that the lacing Hammer got from Benny Leonard at Kansas City recently did him no good.

Both Oliphant and Shiverick ehowed quite a bit of class last fall though they have done most of their real blooming this season. Casey, at Harvard, looks like one of the best backs in recent years and Harley, the Ohio State boy, is declared by many to be the sensation of the year and superior to Le Gore or any other eastern tstar.

SPEAKER'S PUGNACITY RECALLS TEBEATJ
Duffy Lewis Is authority for the statement tbnt Bill Corrlgan got rid of Speaker because Trls "rode the other boys ragKed" In the club house. Some players thresh It out with their team-mates on the field, others cut loose In the shower. Speaker belongs to the latter clnns. Trls seldom opens his mouth on the playing field, bat they say he can call the other boys hard after the game. This recalls an old wtory they tell on Jltn McAleese and Pat Tebeau. Pat and Jim were members of the Cleveland Spiders. One day after a game Pat said something to Jim In the club house. TeBeau was washing his face at the time. McAIeer swung on Pat while the manager was reaehItiK for a towel. McAIeer. n hard fighter, knocked ait the wind out of Tebeau. O'Connor, Cupid Chllda and Cy 1'oung pulled McAIeer off Tebeau. The scrap was patched up some way. It's the only case on record of a" player slugging a club manager. McAIeer was a great player and Tebeau a winning manager. The combination was too gooil to be disturbed, so Pot swallowed his dignity and overlooked Jim's Indiscretion for the good of the Cleveland ciub.

Last night at the McCool alleys n Hammond the M. and M. team showed a little old time speed and won two out of three fast games frj the Perrln and Sommers team, winning the first 'game by only one pin.

Thursday night the McCool meet the leading Moerline team and the Gtfjman Bros, meet the Bankers on the perrin and .Sommers alleys.
"The last two minutes of play were the most exciting of the game in spite of the spectacular work of the men throughout the game. With only two minutes to play and the ball on Davenports three yard line on the third down, the Davenport line suddenly stiffened and withstood two heartbraking smashes by the Clabby baclifleld to secure the ball on their own one yard line. Here Jones displayed his football brain by receiving the direct pass from Hauser and instantly falling on the oval behind the Davenport line for a safety, giving Hammond two points, but bringing the ball back into play in Davenport's possession on their own 20 yard line with only 15 seconds to play. Before Captain Wolters could kick out of danger time was called. "Holmes' work was sensational throughout the game, the climax to his play being the wonderful run from the Davenport eight yard line, where he recovered the ball on Hammond's fumble and took it to within two feet of the Hammond goal line. Although staggering and slipping in the last few yards a desperate dive brought the oval to where Kuehl. by two quarterback smashes took it over for the final touchdown. "Kuehl's exhibition of distancing the entire Hammond squad was also spectacular, and resulted in the first Davenport touchdown in the second quarter. An intercepted pass by Jones gave Davenport the ball on Hammond's 47 yard line and Kuehl on the first play started around the right end, but suddenly turned and ripped through the Hammond line until a clear field showed and then dashed across the scoring mark. "But while Davenport is deserving of all credit for its individual play. Hammond outplayed them as a team throughout the contest. A quartet of backs. reinforced by substitutes in whom no weakness was noticeable gave the locals fans in attendance one of the greatest exhibitions of plunging and interference they had ever witnessed.

COLLEGE MM SEEKING GAME WITH CLABBYS The Clabbys of Hammond are coming into great demand in Michigan following their defeat of Ann Arbor, 30 to 0, and two communications to the sporting editor of Thi Times indicate that the team which was met and routed a week ago must have a good standing in its own state.
