CELTS OUT

PLAYED BY ARlOi mm

Ball is Kept in Cincinnati's Territory Four-Fifths of the Time by the Educated Toe of Ford and the Furious Attack of Teammates.

When little Johnny Finn niftily

-kicked three points to tne

credit of his team in the first quar

ter, of a most remarkable game at the Hammond ball park yesterday he electrified nearly two thousand rabid fans and electrocuted the Celts of Cincinnati. Playing man for man the best football of their careers, the Hammond Clabbys met and defeated an eleven par excellence which has few equals and fewer betters in the professional gridiron world. It was a contest fit. for the gods to

view and was won solely on "merit. For the splendid victory no one man can be given credit. The Clabbys were represented as an organization and not as individual stars. A THRIM. A MISt'TE. Keeping the ball in Cincinnati territory three-tfourths of the time, Hammond wu compelled only once, and that in tha last quarter, to make a desperate stand to prevent the visitors from scoring. And the way in which the northern Indiana gladiators fought and stopped the almost irrestible attack of the Celts at that one time was also sufficient remuneration for any fan who paid a dollar to see tha "game, Kuffner's work was a feature. The fifty and sixty yard punts o Ford and his great defensive game, the line plunging of Ralph Young. th. sains of Talbot and Galvin, the excellent work of Stlnchfleld, Meyers and Kohl at ends, combined with the stonewall resistence of the line, were collectively factors in bringing a vlctroy out of an engagement that up until the last minute might easily have oeen lost. A fumble, a misdirected pass, a necktie tackle or any of a number of poor plays would have giv--n the Celts the chance to score which they fought tooth and nail to secure. "XEVEK SAY DIE." As classy and exhilerating a game was never seen in Hammond before. Getting Its share of the breaks but withal earning the victory, the Clabby eleven displayed throughout the spirit ot its great leader, Frank Blocker. "Never say die," is the motto of Captain Blocker. Palmer and Captain Schuessler, the Celt halfbacks, with Roudebush at uuarter and Gaither as fullback, form f ,And resourceful backfleld and with .-fOlpneyer and Knab to get un-

Utr t.Lpasses have defcateJ the be3t

C professional teams. The Clabbys justerday demoralized the forward pass so far as th5 Celts were concerned. "With Koudebush passing forty ards. Cincinnati could have scored a touchdown at will against a lessar rival. But the pass was by no means he only department in which tie Cells ware proficient. They had great interference on the offense and were sufficiently good at defense to stop the Clabb;j"Ai.me and again when Ham;iv.jiid itf ttcned to score. It nvjSh, be admitted that the kicking of Ford of Hard Knox University was the biggest factor in keeping the balL out of Hammond territojy. The punts were all more than forty-five yards and the way in which Kohl and Stinchfeld got down under them added a great deal to their worth. Ewert. Plum,, Ruffner ,and Volkman stormed many a trench and captured many a runner with a message to Garcia. IT IOOKED BAD HERE. On of the most spectacular point? of the game was the advance of the Celts in the fourth quarter when Palmer, the right halfback and who by the way lives In Gary made sixty yards in four straight bucks before ne was held and as a last rf sort attempt

ed a drop-kick from a distance of fifteen yards, missing only by a few feet, because Itb was hurried by Volkman and Green who broke through thtline. The Celt shot their wad then and there. On ten and fifteen yard gains Young. Kord and Galvin carried the ball into Cincinnati territory and cut of danger where it lay when the game ended.

The selection of an all-star team this e&son is a puzzle to the experts, especially in the outfield, where after the comparatively easy selection of Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker there is a third to pick out of several candidates, all of whom look very good. It is not an easy matter to say who is the pick of such a group of stars as Joe Jackson, Bert Shotten, Dave Robertson, Bob Yeach, Benny Kanff. George Bums and Zach. 'Wheat.

Finn, Young and Talbot advanced the oval to a position five yards from the Cincinnati goal and it was here on tne fourth down that Finn used splendid judgement.
