Gary Watching Outcome of Kam-mond-SouIh Bend Gams With Lots of Interest.

SATURDAY'S PREP FOOTBALL CALENDAR

South Bead High vs. Ham-mead High, at Hammond. East Chicago Zlg-h TS. Gary Kigali at Gary.

In the wako of Saturday's high sehrol football results la Lake county hang two probable championships in the ijou'h Bend-Hammond yainn tetters the northern Indiana honors while the Ki'.st Chicago-Gary battle will, dopsters claim, settle whether or not Gary will stand a chance with Hammond for the championship of Lake county. The rent clash of the day will tie played at the Hammond Athletic Association park, Hammond, where South Bend's formidable eleven battles Hammond high. Always represented by an exceptionally strung team the up-stato team look huskier t?-.is season than heretofore. In looking: ever South Bend's lineup it is een that nine veterans are still playIn r. Captain Harry Donovan at center is the mainstay of the line both on offensive and defensive play. This man Is a veteran of throe jests ami w !TI te one to watch. His cat-like agility in breaking up forward passes and plays has pained him a state-wide reputation. Another man on the line Hammond should keep an eye on is Findlay, right tackle. This fellow is a IS) rounder and n, rough r.d tumble playtr. He has considerable experience in line plunging: Riid it would r.ot be a stirprlse to see him nulled tsack to carry the bail. Ash at rlirht end should be watched. South Bend's t ackfield la rather light but very fast. Mohn, quarter-back, has had practically four year's experience and ;s a fairly good open field runner eaj idunger. "Kay" Smith at left ilfbaclt Is good on end runs and plunges. Sabo, right half, should bo watched aa he is especially fleet and agrlle. He will probably be used on trick plays and end runs more than line plunson although he is quick making pood gains through the line. Olson, fullback, is also very fast. His forward passing is snappy and accurate, his running good. All In all South Bend is a team to be feared, both on offensive and defensive. Trick piays, forward riasslng and end runs ere their specialties. Hammond Xooks Good. Hammond high looks food. Its backfield carries out its plays without bungling them and with a snap and accuracy that makes them dependable. Hammond's line needs coaching. It charges much too high and its playing on the defensive is not consistent. To beat South Bend the linemen must learn to charge low on the offense, to tumble over their opponents, not Just to hold them. South Bend's center will play the "dump 'em game" that is h'3 w-ill spring over his opponent's line. Findlay. the big Bend tackle. will charge hard and high. Hammond must larn to tumble its opponents. Last night at practice the first team cord on the second squad four or five times. Thi scrubs strengthened by

"Farmer" Smith and Ed car Crunipncltor, a 1012 Hammond graduate. 1 e 1 well against t.ie "arsity." Its linemen broke through the first team's line repeatedly. These line holes must be t:ik(ii cara of. else Saturday's game will resemble a sr.r.d lot affair. Saturday's game at the II. -V A. field starts at two o'clock. Hammond hiH has a crowd of enthusiastic boosters. Ail will be wearing: tags rcsetublitiK footballs bearing the inscription "Smother South Bend." Heretofore Hammond urged its team to "Hold South Bend." but the feeling this your is much more optimistic. Gary-Sast ChicagoGary is expected to romp over East Chicago. I.at-t Saturday Hammond walloped the Chicagoans. S to Hammond dopsters do- not concede such a margin for Gary, however. Gary has a light feet team this year and will make a strong bid for th county championship as well as the northern Indiana. Gary beat Elkhart last Saturday, 12 to 0. The tiaeups.

In the first game, for instance, in which Cicotte pitched for the White j Sox, the Giants were retired on fifteen j fly halls, cither to inflelders or outr'.eldj ers or the catcher, j trees "Spitter." J Cicotte admits he uses the "spit bail," j but denies there is r.ny such animal as ; the "shine ball." He says that he and l "Happy" Felsch, star centre Holder of j the White Sox, evolved the idea of the i "shine ball" on the training trip of the ! Chicago club las spring and that it was JFelsdi's idea for him to rub it on his trousers to make the opposing batsman believe he was employing a trick. "The idea was to rub the ball in a

peculiar way, said oicotte. -to maice the batsmen think I was doing sorae-

i.:-.ojj,ht I iris, i elsch started tne ": going in St. Louis got Fielder Jones all worked up about it and the first thing we knew the 'shine ball was an established fact in most minds. Throughout the season, therefore, I continued to rub the ball cn my trousers, and even the league officials took up the matter. However, when Ban Johnson became convinced there was really m such a thing as the 'shine ball' he didn't take the trouble to bar it In the world series." Several members of the Giants, however, were certain that Cicotte employed a trick in his delivery, for the balls he pitched invariably took quirks and twists that other pitchers seldom were able to produce. As a resuit the Gian's found Cicotte very difficult to hit safely in the f.rst contest of the bcries at Chicago, but in the second and fifth games in the latter of which he pitched four innings, they hit him hard. Walter Holke, f.rst Daseman of ths Giants, who found Cicotte quite a puzzls thinks he employs the "spit ball" almost exclusively, and that the rubbingof the ball on his trousers is merely for the psychological effect It may have on rival hitters. Holke said: "It is unnatural for a pitcher who has been in the big leagues as long as Cicotte to have such 'stuff" as the Frenchman had this season. Nature can only go ao far, and after a certain number of years a pitcher has to look around for something to take the place of the 'stuff that nature gave him in his younger days. .1 believe that Cicotte Is a smart pitcher, and when he found he could not make the ball curve as wen as h could in the early days he experimented until he found that the 'spit ball' or tome other trick method of delivery did for hirn what nature no longer was tun able to do."

an old friend of th3 pugilist, conducted the services. "Bob was always of a religious turn of mind," tho Rev. P.ader said, "and he won his greatest Ipttle when a year ago he was baptised in the Baptist church in Los Ang!es." Although regular pall-bearers had been selected, the Rev. P.ader called Johnny Coulon. formerly bantamweight champion, to the platform and asked h'm to select six former lighters to boar "Lanky Bob" to the grave. Those selected in addition to Coulon were Harry Gilmore, Jimmy Barry, Jack McCormick. Charley Burns and Charley Zimmerman. Lou M. Houseman and Edmund 51.
