Hammond Clabbys and East Chicago Gophers Hard Hit May Not Play the Coming Season Because of Losses.

Professional football this year, if there is any, will be played minus stars of a year ago. The war has taken many of the eligibles. The Hammond Clabbys

have- lost Talbot. Blair. Palmer and other stars. Seven members, Lincluding Captain McShane of the Gopher eleven. East Chicago, have volunteered. The de parture of pigskin men who were looked upon as the nucleus of the team will probably stop the Gophers from scheduling games this season. Besides McShane, the fleet end, Rosenthal, backfleld star, and Kosture and Polonsack, guards, O'Connell. a backfleld player. Karlin. center. Boother and Thomas are now serving Uncle Sam. In a letter to The Times M. T. Keenan reviews the situation as follows: "The world-wide war has played havoc with the aspirations of the East Chicago Gophers, lightweight champions. Since the declaration of war against Germany seven of the Gophers" mightiest "big little men have volunteered their services to the United States, j MtShane and Rosenthal are in the coast artillery. Karlin and O'Connell, the Indiana infantry: Jimmy Thomas, Kostur and Polonsak, the navy. "McShane. an end, was regarded as one of the steadiest men on the whole Gopher roster. He served as captain of the eleven f :r three seasons, his first command being in 1910 when the team was organized. Rosenthal is another old-timer. He has been with the Gophers six years. Rosenthal played in the backfleld and on the line with equal success. Kostur and Polonsack, who came to the Gophers in 1914 are a pair of guards whose work during the season of 1316 placed them in the top rank. "O'Connell, one of the. fleetest backs in this part of the country has played but one season with the East Chicago squad but his work during that time has earn-: ed for him a great reputation. 'Fat'

Karlin at center Is a man whote merit has never been questioned. TheMaroon and gray will have a hard time finding a man who can fill 'Fat's' shoes. "Jimmy Thomas, brother of the famous Frank, Is another new man who rrade good from the start. Thomas started off with a bang last season and soon earned himself a regular position on the line. He starred in the ThornGopher game. "After looking over the '"Who's Who" Wilhelm 'the mighty' should lose a little of that optimism."

Johnny Kilbane. Following his knock-out a few days ago at the hands -of Bennie Leonard, the New York lightweight king, Johnny Kilbane, feather champ, gave further consideration to his plans for a retirement. Kilbane feels that he gains l.ttle by going out of his class and with no competition of his own weight he believes there is little more in the game to interest him.

SOLDIERS IN BATHING SUITS QUENCH THIRST BROWNSVILLE. TEX.. July 28. Is a soldier in a bathing suit a oldier in uniform in the eyes of the Federal law against the sale of intoxicants to soldiers in uniform? This question has been put up to Department of Justice agents- here. The question arose out of charges that "soldiers have been " donning bathing suits, getting them wet, and then going to saloons to quench their thirst. Saloon keepers claim they are unable to distinguish between soldiers and civilians when they wear bathing suits.

BT B. C. HAMILTON'. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jyy 30. The western brother of the East is rallying to the cause, has grabbed sport by the hair

and is holding on tight. The West, it appears, is going to save American sports from cbmplete annihilation in the hurly-burly business of war-mak-inp. " St. Louis h s come back with a regular punch anu'is going to stage the A. A. V. games with all the frills the East usually provides, and is adding some. Thsra will be no Army-Navy football game next fall, for the well-known obvious reason. For different reasons th.ere will be no Harvard-Tale game, and for the same reason Princeton's colors will not' form a background for a Yale or Harvard score next fall. Some of the Eastern colleges are making a desultory effort at retaining sports. Pennsylvania, for instance, made a valiant fight against completely wrecking the games. However, the gain will be little. Yale and Harvard are figuring on giving the Freshmen a chance at it. In the Wesb most of the big colleges are going right through with it. The men who are not drafted will be right in there playing football sched-

Ford will report within the next three days, it is said.

ILD ROSEBUD CUE BACK

BY H. C. HAMH.TON ' (United Press Staff Correspondent,) NEW YORK. July 2 8. They say they never come back, but Old Rosebud did. He did it so effectively he has been handicapped a.t the top in several races this year and is recognized as one of the best horses on the American turf. Old Rosebud's trainers tell an interesting story of his come-back. A strained tendon, which bowed the horse's left leg. first took him out of training and he was out for a year before he again attempted to run. The same old malady came back. , Then the famous winner of the Kentucky Derby several years ago was taken to Kentucky, where he was allowed to roam at will over a huge farm. Then he went to Texas. Flies and gnats were very b.id. Associating with the draft horses and other stock on this Texas ranch, Old Rosebud followed them when they went to a stream and stood all day long, at times, to escape the insects. "I believe the water cure just as much responsible for the comeback as anything I did," his trainer declared.

Owners' Records

Not to our knowledge has a professional motor car driver ever made a record with a Chandler Six. But all the thousands of owners of Chandler Sixes, every day, are making the kind of records that count. Records of satisfactory service. The Chandler Company has never built a racing car. Chandler pwners do not want racing cars. The 55 to 60 miles per hour speed that every Chandler car will do is speed much greater than you would ever ask for. The Chandler Company has

never built a special mountainclimbing car with short wheel base and low gear ratio. The ease with which every Chandler climbs steep grades on high gear is satisfying to the Chandler owner. . The Chandler Company has never supplied any Chandler dealer anywhere with a special gear ratio for demonstrating purposes. What any Chandler Six does your Chandler Six will do." The manufacturer of one six can make just as big claims as the manufacturer of any other six. But

TKe CHaindler is a Fact-Car, Not a Claim-Gar, an d TEnese Are Facts, Not Claims There is no other six more flexible in control, more responsive to vour every demand, than the Chandler. 1 There is no other which will pull hard grades on high with greater ease. .There i o other so economical in operation.

C. I. TAYLOR MAY USE NEW PITCHER . AGAINST CUBANS IXDIAXAPOLIS, IXD.. July 2S. Indianapolis fans may see a new pitcher on the mound for C. I. Taylor's A. B. C.'s in the first game of a double-header with the Cuban Stars at Washington Park Sunday afternoon. Manager Taylor has been in the East for several days in ah effort to strengthen his pitching staff for a drive for the colored championship of the world. . The Cubans played here several weeks ago and won a majority of the games. The A. B. C.'s however, are p7.aying much better baseball than they were at that time and should make the islanders hustle. Gunco and Padron probably will do the hurling for the Cubans. Jeffries is scheduled to work on the mound in the second game for the local club. The islanders have been playing in

Everybody has heard the stry of how a minor league manager Jay Andrews they say it was paid a fine imposed by an umpire by dumping a sackful of pennies on the plate at the umpire's feet, and how the umpire had to pick up all the coppers before the game could start. Well, here is another version of the story, "located "somewhere" , in a minor league. I The manager had been fined $10 ind told he could not get in the game until he paid. So he sent out and got the amount of the fine in coppers, nickels and dimes, marched to the plate, dumped them out and said to the umpire: "Here's your fine." So far, so good, but for the new version. The umpire worm turned. Calling back the manager, he said: "You'll have to pick those up." "You're not talking to me." said the manager with a Jaunty air. "All right. The fine is not paid until you hand it to me and if you want to lose ten donars. the money stays on the ground, right where you threw it." And the new story goes on to say that the manager got down on his knees and picked up the coin to the last copper cent.
