P.111D TO PLAY AT

DETROIT

Chief Wilfrid Grant of the Gary fire department has one of those coveted baseball tickets for the world's series and is seeing the first game today. It is estimated that there will be in the neighborhood of one hundred Garyites at the game. For the gridiron supremacy of the two schools, Gary and Hammond High school second teams hooked horns at the Emerson field this afternoon. The Emerson and the Froebel freshmen sauads played the curtain raiser. "Although the varsity team have an open date today, is no sign that they will have nothing to do. With a squad of coaches they will be on deck to witness the Hammond and Gary second team game In order to get a line on plays and the comparative strength of Hammcnd's varsity.

Uncle Sam took another of Gary's star athietes in the third quota of drafted men yesterday morning when he left for training at Camp' Taylor. If "Shorty", as he was more commonly known among his friends, proves himself as good a eoldier as he made good in various athletics he will land himself an officership in short order. He is well known in nearly every field of sports, baseball, football, track and has earned himself a national wide reputation as a wrestler. Instructed by the Misses Hagedorn and Burns, the girls of the Emerson school are taking up field hockey. A tourney is now in progress and will continue for several weeks, the first contest having been played resulting in a victory for the junior class against the senior class by a score of 1-0. Bowling stars wtll get their first crack at the ten-pin pins next Monday night when the Lake county league consisting of Garyt Hammond and East Chicago orers its schedule. Gary will be represented in the league by Dave and Macks and the Acker and Schmidts. Having secured I-ongneeker. a Gary football star, to play with his team this season. Taul Psrduhn of the Clabbys of Hammond has now grabbed oft George Simmons another Garyite who will be given a chance to don the moleskins Sunday when they play against Detroit at Detroit. Simmons Is sn old pigskin star and there is no doubt but what he will win a berth when the champions line up.

Hammond's professional football club opens its season Sunday afternoon at Navin Held, Detroit, Mich., against the Detroit Heralds. With eight men of last year's eleven forming the nucleus cf this year's aggregation Hammond fans are feeling confident of a successful season. Paul Par-iuhn is managing the team. Frank Blocker is captain. Acompamed by a small crowd of fans The team will leave tonight over the Michigan Central at 10:40, returning Monday morning. The official lineup for tomorrow's skirmish as follows: Kohl. Bauer, left end: H. Volkman. T. Blocker, left tackle;

Green, Plum, left guard: Capt. F. Blocker. center: G. Volkman. right guard: ?e!iger, right tackle: Nalon, right end; ! Gaffuey. Myers, left halfback; Sheridan, j Schlatter. Thoenes, risht halfback:' Longnecker, fullback; Herrin, quarter-!

back. Kohl. H. Volkman, Green. F. Blocker. Scliger. T. Blocker. Plum and Myers played of last year's squad. Most of the men are former college stars. The Detroit Heralds are reported to be a fast and heady set of pigskin chafers. Tomorrow's game is alo their first of th reason. Leonard Drops Another . Lightweight Title Holder TEW YORK. Oct. 6. Knocking them out is a habit with Benny Leanard, ths lightweight champion. Last night he met Vic Moran of New Orleans. Moran last two rounds. He was unable to toe

thm scratch In the third round. Near I the end of the second round Leonard! pmashed a number of blows to his op

ponent's jaw and drorped him with a hard right. The bell saved Moran from bting counted out, but he could not continue the fight.

WHITE SOX COIH FLOODS GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 On the eve of the world's series the hotting in New Tork was at evens, with White Sox money in preponderance. More than $25,000 has been received by curb betting commissioners from Chicago within the l8st twenty-four hours to bet on tbe Sox. Approximately $6,000 has been received on the curb from Giant backers, but most of it has been In small amounts which have not nearly covered all of the White Sox money in sight. Several offers remain untaken. A Tammany politician placed $4,000 with Percy Guard to be put against J5.000 that the Giants will win the series. Another broker offered a bet of $1,000 to $1,300 that the Giants will win the scries.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6. Tom Alley, known throughout the United States as a "speed bug." is being toutod around Chicago as a probable winner in the big October 13th race , at the Speedway Country Club's track. Alley will cer

tainly finish well in the money, say his friends, if he doesn't kill himself. The. Tan-American racer Alley drives has been on wheels only since June 16, and it is said he has never opened the throttle wide since he got the machine, preferring to wait until a little usage had limbered up the chasis. The car has shown up well in several races this year, but was too "stiff" and "green" really to demonstrate iis going qualities. At Omaha, however, it qualified at 101 miles an hour. What it can really do is still a matter of conjecture. It is certain, though, say the race fans, that once he is satisfied his machine can stand 1t, Alley will crowd on all the speed there is in it. Alley has figured in three serious accidents on the track. Last Fourth of

July in the Omaha race he drove the. Pan-American around a steeply banked turn at an unhoard-of pace and crammed it clear off the track. The car summerasaulted twice in mid air. and threw Alley and his mechanician thirty feet Into the mud. They were bad'y wrenched and scratched. The car was smashcl beyond recognition. In 1912 Alley was mechanician for De Palma at Milwaukee when their car was driven off the track and whirled over, scattering the two men all over the landscape. Alley was in the hospital two weeks after that. Two years later he was badly burned about the face and arms when his car caught fro at the pits on the Siiux City race track. Alley has gained his reputation as a tpeed fiend chiefly for his habit of slowing up for nothing. His performances at hairpin turns, death curves and the like have frightened thousands of spectators almost into convulsions.

MACEY MAKES HIT IN MILWAUKEE Maey Roberts. Hammond pueilist. writes from Milwaukee he Is "getting In strong" with the Wisconsin fight fans. "They onen their eyes when I tell 'em T"m from Hammond, Ind., the home of Jimmy Clabby," stated the card. Tloberts boxed last Wednesday in a fight carnival in which 20 boxers participated for the benefit of the soldiers. He is to meet Johnny Mendclson soon.

PRESS ARMY OF THREE HUNDRED

If intrt in the world's series may be measured by what the newspapers of the country think abount it. then tho series which begins today between the White Sox and New York Giants ia greater by far than any series of tha past. More than S00 newspaper correspondents will be seated in the middle of the balcony today looking on and "covering" the big affair for papers in towns and cities from Boston to San Francisco. William Vceck. who had charge of the press scats, announced that th number of correspondents was over 200 and that it was eighty more then ever represented the press at a world's series of the rast. Among the 300 or more who were gathered yesterday none commanded so much attention as five writers from Havana. Cuba, headed by Victor Munoz. who has seen every world's series for the last decade. The Cubans will have direct wires from Comiskey park and the Polo grounds to their offices in Havana.

AL JOLSON TO BUY BONDS FOR HOME RUNS It is going to be worth two $30 Liberty Bonds to every White Sox or Giant rlayer who knocks a home run during tho present series. A few days ago a New York fan offered a bond for the first homer. Now Al Jolson. the comedian, has notified Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, that he will present a $50 bond of the second Liberty Loan to every member of the White Sox, or Giants, who makes a home run during the series. Jolson further made the provision that should there be no ' ome run made in any game he will present it to the player who makes a three-base bit. The offer covers the entire series, both in Chicago and New York, and the bond will be presented through the National Commission to the lucky players. Mr. Jolson closed the tour of his company for two days in order to get to Chicago to see the series.

BT H. C. HAMILTON CHICAGO. ILL.. Oct. 6 With all the gripping interest that could be mastered from tbe spectacle of representatives of the nation's two greatest cities meeting in a world's strips. Chicago stood expectantly today, waiting the signal that would send the Giants and the White Sox into their first grapple this afternoon. Vacant over a period of years since the Cubs fast fell Chicago's baseball heart was full to overflowing today, for it was her first world's series with New York and it was the second time an American league club had carried thn Windy City's hopes to the post. Bak in 1306, when George Hone, Frank Isbel! and other departed stars of the dim past, were in harness for the White Sox the team met th famous Cubs and rolled them back, winning n world's championship from Frank Chanoe'? machine. The White Sox are beloved in Chicago, far more than rver vis the tape for the Cubs. Great as they were, the former terrors of the National lenpue. didn't excite the flutter of admiration that sweeps the South Side of Chicato when the names of Charles A. Comtek y is mentioned. A real philanthropist, beloved by every one with whom he comes in contact, Comisky has given Chicago a groat baseball club one that had fought its way through a season cluttered tip with obstacles. Chicago ts proud end grateful. The city will mortgage everything handy and bet it. on the American league cohorts". H egged by the est for fo long, the world's series takes on a nw significance with its playing tins year. The pep of the west ia going in to replace the lethargy of the east. The fact that the Giants and the White Sox are considered to be more evenly matched .than any other contesting world's 5-eries teams since the fall battles of 1312 between P.fd Sox and Giants add:? more punch to the whirlpool of sentiment and interest that is engulfing the big games. New York remained a slight favorite in tie betting, due solely to the fact that N'cw York money predominates, despite the numerous backers of the White Sox. Critics generally arc picking the White Sox to uphold the honor of the American league. There was no possibility that attendance records would be smashed. Comisky park holds only slightly more than 32.000 persons, seated comfortably. Throwing open the field wouldn't add any more to that total. The Polo grounds where the New York share of the games will be played, seats more than 35, 0H0. but the. record for a single contest i more than 42. 000. established last year at Boston when the Ited Sox and Dodders were scrapping. It would be miraculous if one of the t. o fields could bo stretched to hold more tuns than this figure. The playing of the rival infields, th work of the rival pitchers, will hold the

attention of the dopestors. John 5kGraw's trio of southpaw heavers virtually have flung the Giants into their pennant. The same may b said of Eddie Cicotte, Panforlh and Williams for the White So

Miss Marion Iteming, won the lad:es' golf championship after a spirited fight with Mrs. W. D. Tatton who has twice been runner-up by a score of 1 up. Miss Deming's victory entitles her to have her name engraved on the big silv

er trophy to be won three times before coming into the ultimate possession ol ny one player, and the beautiful prize donated for this year's winner. The cup race started in 191J and was first won by Mrs. P. A. Parry. Mrs. Victor Dyer was that year's runner up.
