HAMMOND MAY LOSE SPEED KING

Keene Palmer in Officers' Training Camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, MayContinue to Play With Pardnhn's. '

THE STANDING

Manager Howard of Hammond's creditable baseball club has his quoto of diamond men signed for the season. Thirteen of 'em, and all crack performers. But the war Is Interfering. Palmer Joins the Army. Keene Palmer, football and baseball player, left last night for Indianapolis where he will enter the officers" reserve corp. Palmer took care of the apace between second and third bags as well an being a steady batsman and the fans regret' to lose him. If arrangement can be made. Falmer Is to play at his position Sunday and every Sunday if possible (as the men in camp have leave of absence on that day each week. In case plans fall through Howard has secured the services of another crack shortstop who will rut In an appearance Sunday. His name Is Joe Hon nd he has been playing with a Chi

cago seml-profe5Slonal team this season. He was former captain of the "Whiting club. Old reliable Pete Henning will handle the slab durling the year, with F. "Heinle" Morrow on the bench. Morrow's arm, which has been off for the past year or two. is rounding into shape and In all proballties he will get a chance to display his wares before locff. George Bart, a fast Whiting catcher, who worked out for the first time last Sunday. Is on the regular list. Bart PTorcd he knew the game Sunday and became a favoritn with the fans. Rather than have Bart out of the games Howard will play him in the outfield when' Hudson catches. Bart is a good Mtter and can field. Homer Hudson, catcher, will start the game Sunday. Hudson is also a tip-top player. Austin Walsh, former Federal league star, will handle a garden or first base . and Charles "Dutch" Hellman. president of the Barkers league in Chicago, is hooked as left fielder. Charles "'Chuck" Rhode will play on the keystone corner and Harry Moll at thir base. "Cigar" Solliday is the general utility man. Clarence Thompson first baseman and Walter Barman a new man who plays short and will be given a try soon. Mac Thompson Is a garden specialist. Hammond has lost another good man In Wilkinson, who has gone to Monr tana. Wilkinson played right field. The Mutuals are to be Hammond's opponents Sunday. This team is saiS to be a fast one and If will behove Howard's men to play their best to keep a perfect percentage In the City league. Manager Howard is anxious to secure a game with the South Chicago team. He said he offered the Chicagoans a game for Decoration Day but they didn't seem inclined to chance their reputation with Hammond and scheduled a game with, the Roseland Eclipse. Adolph Haack and Josepn Spear, baseball magnates of South Chicago, paid Manager Howard of the Hammond club a visit yesterday.

(By United Press.)

NEW TORK, May 16. Jim Thorpe, the most famous athlete of. them all. seems about ready to take his place as the first great all around athlete who ever has become a major league baseball player of ability. Jim is hitting them far and wide for the Reds in the absence of Eddie Rousch and, although he hasn't yet actually made good, he has a better chance of becoming a regular than he ever did while filling a Giant uniform. John McGraw. leader of the Giants, always has predicted that Thorpe would be a star if given the opportonity to play every day. All he needed. McGraw contended, was major league experience. He believed firmly that a man who could do such amazing things in other competition could learn to hit and play the outfield. Thorpe has been picked out as a "sucker for a curve ball." of which there are an amazing number drawing pay in the majors. Pitchers have simply curva-balled him out of a Job with the Giants. He couldn't hit consequently he couldn't play. Thorpe never really played ball before he became a member of the Xew York team in 1913. He had played professional baseball and had taken rart in some college games, but his experience was sadly limited until he came under the eye of McGraw. Ills 1913 batting average was .143, but he took part in only nineteen games. The next year he was in thirty games and batted .194. Seventeen games the following ytar gave him a mark of .231. Thorpe begged to be sent to some minor league club so he could g-t experience after thse poor averages were given him, and his appeal was heeded. McGraw sent him to Jersey City, which club subsequently turned him over to Harrisburg. In 1918 he was sent to Milwaukee, wjiere he batted .274 for the season, a record which proved he was beginnlg to hit the kinky pitching. At Cincinnati be has been given chance to show what he really can do with major leag-ue curve balls and hej has been making good.
