The grame between the Owis Club and ihe East Chicago Methodists harbored the greatest amount of excitement and ! tenseness that it -was possible to crowd i Into a single game. The East Chicago ; boys shot out ahead and maintained 'their lead until two minutes before the 'close of scheduled time, -when Eddio .Pond caged the oval for the tying count. "jTive minutes extra were flayed to test the teams and theAVhiting boys negojtiated five poiats while East Chicago was vainly trying to make a point. The final score was 28 to 23. In the first half of the game. Eew Griffith was clearly way' off. I'nable to get the Jump on Lake, the East Chicago center, he was switched to forward, but here too he was unable to core as tho East Chicago boys were guarding him closely. Pond started at forward but was shifted to center, and Cevirtz played forward the second half. The second half brought out real basketball on the part of the Owls as they scored 16 points to their opponents' four. Byers and Sharp guarded well. The lineup: Owls 23). E. C. X. X. (23). Tond.

Minneapolis Eagles Down Local Football Champs In Contest For K. C. Fund In Dexter Pavillion. Playing a steady, consistent gain", in which team work was the predominating feature, the Eagles of Minneapolis defeated the Thorns of Pullman yesterday. S to 0, in the benefit game for the Xnights of Columbus war camp fund. The contest was staged in the Dexter Park pavilion. Chicago, and was witnessed by over 5, "00 fans. The Eagles, who hold the 135-pound championship of their city, counted their .three points In the first quarter on a twenty-three-yard drop kick by Halfback Gil!. The Thorns could not penetrate the visitors' line at any stage of the game and were able to make only one first down in the entire contest. Numerous fumbles, with the Thorns making the majority of the misplays, were the only setbacks to an otherwise perfect game. The local passed up several chances to do damage because the ball would not stay put, while the Eagles twice lost the oal in the shadow of their opponent's goal. Johnson, the big center for the Eagles, and Hackett, quarterback, were the two outstanding stars In the winners' lineup. Johnson was in almost every play, while Hackett's line plunging and end running were the features of the game. "Dago" La Ross and Iax Forest were the two big men in the Thorn, lineup, and but for their superlative work the score might have been much more one-sided. Greb Defeats Wenzel. IN 10-Round Battle PITTSBURGH. Dec. 26. Harry Greb. Pittsburgh's leading middleweight pugilist, had a OeciUcd advantage over his old rival, AVhitcy Wenzel, in a lenround boat here yesterday afternoon. It was Grcb's fight all the way. Wenzel was a, disappointment to the fans. In the first round the bnys mixed in lively fashion, but the nine rounds that followed were anything but interesting. Wenzel made only three attempts to hit Greb, covering his face most of the time. Greb opened Wenzel's eye in the fifth round. The injury, however, was slight.

The Sport The Hot Stove League was so full of Xmas turk yesterday that nobody but Earl Chftney had strength enough left to throw in a chunk of firewood. A number of all-ycar-around football j fans went to see the Thorn-Eagle game i yesterday but it failed to remind them of. Parduhn park in the slightest degree. The ruling sport around here to look at the Christmas skate stock of that good old sport John W, MUlikan is going to be skating. Iowever John can supply every skater in the region a pair so you needn't be backward. An lv,o prize fight was called off the other night because there was no coal to heat the hall. They might have started a fire by chipping some splinters off the boxers' heads. It is reported that Fred Toney has joined the army. The news must have been as pleasant as a broken leg to Matty. Dave Fultz must have paralyzed his arm. He hasn't sent at story to the sport cds for almost a month. Sport news is getting mighty scarce. A New Tork paper gave a column to the activities of th baseball players' fraternity. A soccer football players was injured by being kicked in the head. It was our first, knowledge' that it is possible to injure a coccer player that way. Fred W. Moore. Harvard university's graduate treasurer, has sent more than 1.000 footballs to American soldiers in J France. They were purchased with funds supplied by Harvard graduates, and were sent to France through the Ked Cross. Fully four-fifths of the consignment were soccer football:?, the chief reason for the selection being that neither the .equipment nor the fields were qualified to meet tho demands of; the gridiron sport, while soccer, like baseball, may be played almost anywhere and without extensive equipment. Th New Tork Protective Association, composed of players on soccer teams, a purely benevolent organization, has a membership of 215 players. Wcsleyan (Conn.) athletic council will give up track sports. Waco, Tex., has organized a boys' club to promote athletic sports. San FranciSco has an cight-club semi-professional soccer league. First Lieutenant Alma W. Richards, Cornell university's former star athlete, has presented to Urigham Toung university at Prcvo. Utah, his large and valuable collection of medals, trophy cur-?, statuettes, etc.. which he won in various competitions in the last few ! years. This is the institution where I Richards performed in the early part of 1 his field career. 1 After a quarter of century the annual I Penn vs. Cornell gridiron game will no longer be staged on Thanksgjving day in 131S. The colleges have agreed to t meet Saturday, November 23, at Franklin field. University of Nebraska athletic department has donated $7,000 to the Red Cross, and is to make further contribut ions.

Pittsburgh has not been defeated on the gridiron for three sensons, but the University of Pekin has n't lost a football battle in thirty years. If Branch Rickey comes to the league meeting with that patriotic suggestion with which be has leeii credited, of turning over all baseball profifs to war funds, lie is likely to find hirpself as popular with some of his associates as a man giving three clircrs for tha Kaiser in a Pelgian trench. Georgo McLaren is to lead the riltburgh eleven next season. Geotse probably put his head down and ploughed right through all other candidates for the captaincy. The difference be- ' tw een McLaren and a Uritish tank is that he isn't British. Larry Lajoic bit .350 in the International League. His batting eye does iiot seem to age with the rest of him. Zimmerman batted .297 for the season, which merely goes to prove that the White Sox pitchers were in the other league.
