GOOD B Famous CoS Star To Handle Affairs of Hammond's Base Bail Squad Henceforth. (By JUIOOE.) Hammond fans will probably be Interested la the news that Artie Hoffman, star performer for the Cubs for six years and world-famous outfielder, has been assigned by Owner Farduhn to the management of the Hammond baseball club, and will pilot that organization hereafter In hopes of copping the City League flag. This surprise came as the result of Ik f- M 3V . hp AKTTE 'CICtrs" HOrPMAS. the action of former manager Frank Fowler, who tendered his resignation to the club on Tuesday evening. Fowler stated, by way of explanation, that further participation by him would be detrimental to the progress of the tam. Inasmuch as he was being held responsible for the release of Rhode. Mor row and Thompson, when he had nothing to do with it. It is true that several supporters of these three players hare expressed some indignation at their dismissal and they naturally supposed that Fowler had engineered the thing. Parduhn states emphatically that it was his instructions, not Fowler's, that caused the change. He states further that the men were released, not because they were falling

DeLave 's presence will eliminate the necessity of an extra pitcher, catcher, baseman, or fielder. This was demonstrated last Sunday when he relieved Catcher Hudson in the seventh. Clarence Thompson has played the best game on first base of any man seen in that position at any time. In Hammond, but his hitting ability was not what It should be, and sluggers are exactly what are needed at this stage of the game. "Heinie" Morrow twirled to the fullest expectations of both the club and the fans when they put him In, but the occasion presented itself so seldomly that It did not warrant his detention. Rhode was released only because his arm was In bad shape, and it Is expected that he will be back in the rfold in the next few weeks. "With Hoffman's vast experience with the big leagues It is thought that he is the most capable man to handle the club's affairs. The players as well as the fans are fond of him and they, no doubt, will respond better to his dictation than to any other man that eould have been selected. "We all hope that they will, for we need that pennant, and we're too close to ifc to lose it now.

EXHAUST ECHOES. If the government and the oil companies want motorists to stop using gasoline. It's Quite all right with the owners of automobiles. They'll Just take cheap kerosene or any other stuff the oil companies can produce, squirt a little water vapor Into it, and go farther and faster than they did before. This is the substance of an announcement made yesterday by the Chlcagoan whosu experiments with operating various types of motor vehicles on kerosene and water were referred to brifly in this column a few days ago. The Inventor is J. W. Duntley, the man who Is credited with having produced the first pneumatic tool and driven home the first rivet on a German submarine. For several months he has been making tests with a generating device which operates without a carbureter, using various kinds of low grade fuel supplied for the experiments by the Standard Oil company.

mm KNOCKED OUT SMITH

IN 1 1TU ROUND SAYS REPORT

Jimmy Clabby, according to his "Pap", is expected home shortly. Jimmy is now the title bearer of both the middleweight and heavyweight belts in Australia. A notice of his fight with Dave Smith clipped from an eastern newspaper follows : "The report received from Australia a couple of weeks ago In regard to the match between Jimmy Clabby. the American middleweight, and Dave Smith. the Australian heavyweight champion, was not correct. It gave the verdict to Cabby In a twenty-round battle, when in reality Clabby scored a knockout over Smith in the tenth round. These two boys have met six times In all. the battles taking place in Australia, The first time was January 19, 1911, and It went 20 rounds. Smith getting the decision, although a great many of the spectators at that time, considered that Clabby should have had nothing worse than a draw and the writer can say the same, as he was In attendance at the fight. The battle was fought during a terrifio thunderstorm. It started to rain about the third round and never three days at West Maitland and special trains brought thousands of persons there. (Special to Thb Times.) EAST CHICAGO. IND.. July 25. Tht fast East Chicago Tigers defeated Alnsworth Cubs at Ainsworth by the score of 6-3. The feature of the game was clasy fielding by Shot. Babin. Shafer and Loda. Joe Faherty was on the slab for Tigers. He allowed but 5 hits, striking out not less than 15. Tigers won their game in the 7th Inning when Harle and Faherty singled and Babin

stopped until the end of the contest. At times the ring was an inch deep in water, and Clabby finally took off his shoes and fought In his bare feet. Despite the terrific rain, the men battle fiercely all the way. It might be mentioned In connection with this contest that one of the German Princes, who was with the naval training ship at that time, attended the bout. If I remember correctly, it was either Prince Ruprecht or Prince Itel. At any rate the young Prince was invited to attend the battle that night, but preferred to go Incog. The result was that he got mixed up with the bleacher gang and when the storm broke he found it impossible to get out of the crowd and was obliged to sit through the entire performance, drenched to the skin. "Clabby left immediately after the contest, going via Europe, but had the Australian bug abuzzlng and could not rest until he returned to Sydney in December of the same year. He fought Smith again on December 9, this time the battle resulting in a draw. They were matched again February 24. 1912. and this also resulted in a draw."

ME TO TRY TO WIN ' Tl TITLES

Featherweight Boss Hopes to Stop Lightweight King Leonard. Two world's boxing champions are booked to travel six rounds or less In a Philadelphia open air arena to-night for $10,000 apiece. Pretty soft, you say. Yes, Indeed, unless John Kllbane, the featherweight boss, or Benny Leonard, the lightweight king, happens to slip over a sleep-producing wallop In the eighteen minutes of scheduled fighting time. These parties are renowned for just such feats and. while we hardly anticipate such a conclusion In this brief whirl, there is a chance for same. One thing is reasonably certain if either gets an opening for his finisher he probably will Bhot it through with might and main. It's the old story of a great little man meeting a great boy in a heavier class, though the lighter fellow, won't be very much smaller this trip. Kllbane can fight well around 128 pounds and no doubt will be close to that notch. The articles call for 133 at 8 p. m., so Leonard won't have more than nve pounds the best of It. That isn't a terrifying margin for Kllbane fo concede, but it will count when one fl6ures that Leonard Is jut bs good a lightweight as Kllbane is a featherweight. Past That Stage.
