Deputy sheriffs of Cook and Lake counties last night prevented the t. n round fight between Young Denny of New Orleans and Tommy Sheehmi of 'i'cago Heights. Tho fight wis scheduled to be held in West .Hammond, but Sheriff Traeger sent men to stop it. It i said a committee of Hammond and W'st Hammond church people visited Tr," ger and had the fight stopped but th' promoters blame it on to another . nice. At any rate an eleventh hour t"mpt to hold the scrap at Coy's Park fiped whn Sheriff Barnes, hearing of it. dispatched a load of deputies down from Clown Point and the local police polished up their clubs prepared for an exciting evening. Tint Jam Cafes. At eight o'clock, the hour the firs preliminary fight was to have started, several hundred fight fans from all

It couldn't b did. said the suspicious ones, so they started to watch Kddie. with the result that his secret was uncovered. Kddie used a 1 i : tie licorice in much, the same manner as a spi'ball pitcher uses slippery elm. But instead of uainir it to create a slick spot on the ball Eddie used it to make one side of the ball clean and white, and et the same tltn? caused a slight swelling of the cover as a rssult of the moisture. And Eddie grot results. The ball performed some uncanny gyrations on its way to the platter and proved even more effective than a good spitter. Clarke Griffith. Kieldr Jones and I.ee Fohl were the bigajent kickers against the shine ball. They claimed that Cicotte. Danforth and Russell were al! using it. and they attributed the success of the White Sox to its use. Ran .Johnson got so many complaints though he
