Tub TifE3 is pleased to acknowledge the fallowing communication: "Editor Thh Times. "Dear Sir: I wish to register a word of criticism, and I sincerely trust that It will be read in the same light as it is written. "As a loyal member of Tub Times family. I feel it my duty to advise you that you are neglecting, or I might say. overlooking local athletics on your sport sheet. "This is the season when baseball is the popular pastime and the dominating form of entertainment, Is it not? And are wc, citizens of Hammond and Lake county, not more Interested in Hammond and Lake county sports, particularly baseball, than we are inoutside baseball, boxing, wrestling, etc? We, of course, enjoy both, and we believe that there is room for both. However, we would favor local sport, for the preference. A well-written, fully-described baseball game is enjoyed and understood by the average follower of the sport, and this is the class, for whose benefit this section of the raper is set aside, is it not? "We are confronted with pictures of professional baseball players, who died a baseball death five years ago. We are informed that Kid Black has donated $1,000 to the Red Cross fund. We are told that Red Wing, who won the derby in 1907, has sold for J12.000. And down in one corr.or we find that Hammond will play the Galligans next Sunday. Who are the Galligans? Where are they from? Have we ever played them before? What was the result What is the outlook for Sunday These ire some of the questions that we must ask ourselves. "Tour lengthy write-ups on local games are always well-written and the eagerness and enthusiasm demonstrated generally among fans, over these writeups, would surprise you. I am a fan. I have studied it, and I know, positively, that I am voicing the sentiment of many others. It is my hope that you will publish this letter, that it may encourage either approval or disapproval. Probably I'm a crank. However, I should like very much to hear the opinions of others. "B. B. FAX, "Hammond, Ind." There may be some truth in what B. B. Fan says, but he does not realize that a newspaper Is published for all classes of people and that many people afe not Interested in baseball while they may be in other branches of sport. The Times gives five times as much space to baseball as it does to any other sport but it does not feel called upon to neglect other sports because of that. Kid Black's donation to the Red Cross fund interests people who have no time for any kind of sporting news. It may induce those whos despise pugilism to look upon it with kindlier feelings. The sale of Red Wing Interests a small clientele perhaps who still believe that horseracing is the sport of kings. The followers of golf and they number hundreds and the followers of tennis and other branches have the, same complaint about their favorite sport as does B. B. Fan. The news that he objects to as having been in the morning papers is of interest to a thousand farmer boys who never see an evening paper. On every rural route in the county they grab The Times to see what the world of sport is doing and they don't care shucks about the Galligans. B. B. Fan must remember that there are Times subscribers who never cast a glance at the sporting page and if they had their way it would give more space to religious news. Another complains that there is not enough social news. Another would have more industrial and

George Burns. George Burns, ths Detroit Tigers firstsacker, who is no kin at all to the Giants' outfield star, George Burns, has been a big disappointment to the team this season and doesn't seem able to resume his natural speed.

It is Burns' first serious slumD since he joined the Tigers in 1913.

Fan was an editor cr a day he would understand completely why it is impossible to run a newspaper to please everybody and that he is grateful when he can please anybody. We appreciate his interest and loyalty for we feej his criticism is honest but he must realize that sporting fans of Whiting, East Chicago and Gary all have the same complaint he makes. We I.ope he will see that the paper does the best a small paper can under the circumstances. THE EDITOR. (Special to The Times.) EAST CHICAGO, IXD.. July 3. The East Chicago Tigers on Sunday motored to Gary and engaged the warriors in a hot baseball game, trimming them to the tune of 5 to 1. Joe Faherty. the Tigers star hurler, allowed but one hit and was invincible in the pinches, fanning no fewer than 14. v Tho Tigers' hitting was opportune. They made their first run in the third inning. Later in the game Babln, the first S3cker. put the willow on the horse hide driving the sphere to the centerfield fence for a home run for the longest hit ever made- oa the Frocbel school grounds. Another feature was a threebagger by "Jo Jo" the pitcher, scoring a man who was perching on first and counting himself a moment later on a fielder's choice. The Tigers Infield has been strengthened materially by the acquisition of Simon at third base. The little fellow is a whale with the stick and 1 just as good on the defensive end of the game. The Tigers go to Hammond Wednesday, the Fourth of July, to engage the Murleys of the latter city in a game of baseball that should prove interesting. Game called at 3 p. m.. Harrison Park. The Tigers have an open date or two this month and would like to hear from teams in the vicinity that think they could make them hustle.

Both welterweights are of the roughtough, slugging type and each promises to wade into the other determined to knock out or be knocked out. There is a valuable rrlze at stake in this fight.

BARRY THUS RED SOI ARE DUE TO

By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) XEW YORK. July 3. Jack Barry, manager of the world's champion Red Sox, can't understand why the critics of baseball are picking a niche lower than first place for hi3 crimson hosed warriors. Tho team, he points out, is just as strong as it was last year, when it went through the most gruelling fight of a decade to a world's championship, and easily ran roughshod over the Dodgers to a world's championship. If anything, he believes, the Red Sox must be figured stronger, for they have the added strength of a new pitcher, Bader, for first-class relief work. The Red Sox have one bad attack of trouble which will have to be ironed out, however, before Barry can be taken seriously. The loss of Bill Carrigan, not as a manager, but as a catcher and a coach, will have to be, overcome before the Re'd Sox will be figured on paper as strong as the White Sox as they now stand. years. 8 and For games phone 1409 between 9 o'clock. BIG OFFER MADE FOR WILLIAM MARION-, O.. July 3. One of the b!g gest offers ever made for a horse in this city was made at the "little grand circuit" meet here Saturday, when David Shaw, of Cleveland, offered $15,000 to Couch & Son, of Lafayette, Ind., for William. This is almost twice as much as the horse sold for in New Tork recently, Shaw failing to get the horse at the sale as the result of a misunderstanding on the part of his agent. COLTS WIN AGAIN The Diamond A. C. of South Chicago were defeated by the Kindt Colts Sunday, 0 to 3, when Jahrnke, star twirler for Lansing, struck out 11 and allowed only 4 hits. The Colts made their three runs in the seventh. '"Ebert rapped out a two bagger. Jahrnke singled, Hoge scored them with a two bagger and Kindt scored Hoge.

Catching on the Boston club Is atrocious, from a big league standpoint. Neither Cady nor Thomas is a capable receiver for a team of Boston's standing, while Sam Agnew, a really highclass receiver, a hard hitter, and an excellent man at throwing to the bases, is doing bench duty. Last year, when the world's series drew near Thomas was picked out for some exceptional praise. It was declared for him that he would develop some day into tho same steady, consistent catcher as Carrigan. With this strength the hose were figured strong In the catching department. The loss of Carrigan however, let Thomas down with a bump. Cady never has shown anything more than an ability to get his hands on the ball when it came near. , The best pitching staff In the world wouldn't deliver the goods when the catchers are unable to handle them right. This is the main reason for the success of pitcher after pitcher' who joined the Boston club under the regime of Carrigan. E EXPECTED HAHOi The Chicago Merrimacs will play the Hammond ball club at Parduhn park in the afternoon. The Merrimacs have an exceptionally strong lineup and will give Parduhn's players a stiff run for victory. It will be a game worth seeing. The General Chemical baseball team,leaders in the Inter-City Industrial ball league and the Graver Tank Works, who are one game behind the first place champions, will play a postponed game at Hegewisch tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. Both teams have been playing air tight ball of late. If the Graver boys win it will put the standing for the top notch on fifty-fifty basis. em:
