The Hammond tram needs beef not pep. - Parduhn 3 offer was- ' bonafide. Oni Chicago morning paier printed the am as follows: "HAJCHOND COULDN'T GET COLLEOI STABS; ASKS DOT: rUKBANXS TO PLAT "Paul Parduhn. promoter of the Hammond football team, was thoroughlp disgusted when his club was crushed by Pine Village. 21 to . Sunday. The cause of his anger was the fact that college stars, one after another, had turned down his offers to play with Hammond after the close of the conference season. "So Parduhn yesterday wired Douglas Fairbanks, the movingplcture athiete, offering him $1,000 and 20 per cent of the gate receipts to play with Hammond against the. Fort Wayne Friars next Sunday. He want. JDoitg to 'pep' up his teanr. "The Hot Stove League in Hammond is open-mouthed, waiting to hesr from Doug and betting is brisk as to hts answer."

I am very sorry but previous arrangements necessitate my declining jour kmd offer. Hope you have a great game. regards. ' I O U C. L A S FAIRBANKS." About the first result of the publicity given this offer will be an influx of football players from nonr and far de-king all or any part of that thousand dollars.

FULTON A i J D GUNBOAT SWIIP LOT OP THREATS

MINNEAPOLIS. MINX. Nov. 27. Whether Fred Fulton is master of Hunboat SirCHi or Smith is master of Fulton will be decided tonight when these heavies turn loose their wallops in a ten round bout. Everything is sot for the niixup. Smith, accompanied by hts new manager. Jimmy Johnston, arrived yesterday morning- and immediately began talking about swinging his right on Mr. Fulton's "tummy." He says that if he does that successfully Fulton is sure to drop. Rut there is another argument regarding this fight. Fulton undoubtedly will be a heavy favorite, due to the fact that he outclasses Gunboat in weight, reach and height. The Rochester giant tlp- the scales at 220 E.GHIGAGQ TO PLAY 0 Invincible Thorns of Chicago Football League Will Be Drawing Card Next Sunday Much Depends on Result. The East Chicago Gopbera ami the Pullman Thorns will battle for supremacy at the Twin City athletic field next Sunday afternoon. Manager M. T. Keenau of the Gophers made; this announcement late last jiiEtit after a conference with Maurice O'Connor, manager of the Thorns. According lo Keenan the winner of the game will carry away sixty per cent of the net receipts, while the loser will grab off the remaining 40 per cent. Besides this the contract calls for a $2c0 side bet which must be deposited with Harry Cohn, a well known East Chicago business man by Tuesday night. It will be the second time in as many years thnt the teams have met. the first contest resulting in a 26-6 V'ctory for the Pullman warriors. It was the first and only defeat for Pat McShnne's understudies in their eight years on the gridiron. Last year's m? was witnessed by ".."Aft fans and it is expected that an even greater number will be on hand to watch Sunday's rontes'. The Thorns have defeated all opponents in the Chicago football league and are picked by experts to cop the finals. If the Gophers can win over the Thorns they are promised a game with the Minneapolis Eagles, 145 pound champions of Minnesota, to be played at the Dexter Park pavilion. Chicago, on Christmas day. The Gophers will practue every night this weeit in preparation for the clash. The Thorns are light, averaging only LIS pounds, hut their team-work Is little short of marvelous and their forward passing wonderfully accurate. Every man on the team is a star, fast on his feet, hard tsrkters. and game to the core. They are noted for their agcresst vctv::j arid staying powers. as well as speed, and precision in action, While the Thorns recently suffered injury to a number of their stars, they if replaced them with athletes of equal calibre, and. as they are the biggest drawing card 'n Chicago, it is expected their enormous following will accompany them to East Chicago. Special trains on the South Shore line? will handle the incoming crowds from Chicago. HE GOT ALL OF 88.
