( BT JINGO With the schedule of the City league finished. Wauxegan and Hammond in f.rst and second places, respectively, and1 a championship battle between these two clubs booked for next program at the Hammond baseball park, interest among the local fans is at fever heat. Owner Parduhn signed McCann's men for the Sunday date last Monday night, and he had to stretch his guarantee considerably to get them. Following this game will be a clash with Albany Fark, who is but one step behind the Hammond club, then a return match with the Chicago Gian's. the crack brownskins who piled up their nineteenth consecutive win last Sunday. Michigan City Soon. Negotiations are under way for a Saturday-Sunday date with the HaskellEarker team of Michigan City, and Parduhn hopes to bring them to Hammond for both days. Also, the strong V. S. Navy team In Chicago has hurled a def! at him, and if a date can be arranged, that will not conflict with the other games scheduled, Hammond fans will se the speedy blue-jackets In action. Parduhn is a busy man these days.
While Waukegan lead3 the league because of its higher percentage of games won, Hammond is recognized as the most formidable member, for It has played nearly twice the number of games that its rival has. and has lost but two, both flukes. As a result, the local club has become quite an attraction, and Parduhn is besought for matches by many of the fast semi-pro organizations in Chicago and vicinity. Baseball enthusiasts should be treated to some splendid games in the near future, and :t is hoped that the majority of them will be played at home. Ktigrlit la Released. Manager Artie Hoffman is well pleased with the work of the Hammond teim. and he is confident that they will trim Waukegan prettily next Sunday. He is not thoroughly satisfied with the showing made by Shortstop Johnny Knight, however, and has signed I.eo Kavanagh. heretofore shortstop for the West Ends, to teplace him. Some regret has been expressed over this change because of Knight's former good work with the stick, but it has been noticed that his batting average is gradually dropping, and general opinion seems to approve Hoffman's action. Knight led the Fort Smith club last year by piling up the enviable percentage of .415 and a beautiful gold bat and bail was awarded to him for this feat. His fielding record shows him as having made more errors than any other player on the Hammond team. Hoffman, with his knowledge of baseball, must see a decided adantage in the transfer.

"'Frank Blocker?" Present. "Wallie Hess, Ewert, Sheridan, Selleager. Ted Blovker, PJum. Green, Yolkman?" Here. All right, let's go.' It arpears that Hammond is to have a semi-professional football team this year under the banner of the Clabby A. C Paul Parduhn. owner of the ball park and the baseball team, has been closeted with Frank Blocker, last year's captain of the Clabby's of late. It has been decided that it Is poor policy to abandon sports during the war. The theatres and all other places cf amusements are open and the in iporatlng, manly, war-like game of footba',1 will have a good moral effect cn the young men. In it is the essence of combat, the spirit of the f.ghter.

EMEMBER Benny Yanper?
He. usd to be in .the first fight of lightweights at
the time of Terry McGovein and Yr.iinc: Corbett. B'-nny is now selling1 dictionaries in the loop. Chicago, but still packs a wallop, as this tale will unfold. On a recent warm night a Smart G:y of the coterie which infest Dearborn street, between Madison and Monroe. picked out for his amusement a harmless "Bo." who had accumulated a quiet lather than bo!.terious cargo. Mr. Smart Guy squared off and proceeded to spar with the befuddled "Bo." who didn't know what it was all about, but put up his dukes to ward off the slaps and occasional punches of Mr. Smart Guy. which drew merriment from his friends. Jusf then Benny Yanger happened along and remonstrated. While the argument was in process another member of the party offered the "Bo" a quarter to hit Benny. The quarter looked good. Yanger turned and heard the conversation. He knocked the money to the pavement. In the scramble Mr. Smart Guy and his friend became, rough. There was one punch which traveled about six inches. Smart Guy hit the pavement and crushed a new straw lid. His pal did a Marathon. Benny picked up the quarter, handed it to the "Bo." and told him to be on his way.

Fred Wedge. former prize fighter, turned preacher, is now a brakman in the employ of the Northwestern Road He passed the required examination for entrance to the train service in Antigo and planned to make his first run between Antigo and Ashland today. It was Rev. Wedge who introduced boxing into his parish by forming a boxing club which was run under the regulations of the boxing commission of Wisconsin. There he taught the younger generation to have clean sport in the form of boxing matches, and it is said older members enjoyed it as well. Here Is what pugilist parson Wedge sa 's about his change of Jobs: "I quit fighting, when I was converted, because I wanted to do good. But I could not live and pay my debts on the income of a preacher, so I had to change my Job I can be Just as good a Christian and propose to do jjst as much work for God as a railroad man as I ever did as a minuter."
HAMILTON'S GOSSIP! STUFF ABOUT SPORTS
BT B. C. HAMILTOTT. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Aug. 7. Thirty-three years old and just beginning to have his most remarkable success as a pitcher that's the record of Eddie Cicotte. Credited this year with the most successful use of the "shine ball." he also is given credit for having control over a knuckle ball and is more than the average performer with the 'spitter. Cicotte, a veteran who. according to usual records should oe fretting out of 'he way. heaved himself into the records for k'eps when he hurled a n .-hit. no-i-un same this year.

Cicotte missed participation In the 1912 world's series by a hair, for he was transferred to the Chicago club in that year, after he had been turned down and spurned by Jake Stahl as a no good. Cicotte has been going in an even way, winning a gams here and losing one there. His most successful season was while he was with Lincoln in the Western league In 1907. He. won twenty-
