PARDUHN TEAM READY FOR FLAG

Paul Parduhn. manager of the Hammond ball team, not being- satisfied with having- signed up the best pitcher in the Uentra! League, went cut and lined up Fred Kommers. undoubtedly one of the hardest hittin outfielders playlnir semi-professional ball In or around Chicago. To get this man Parduhn had to outbid the Galligans, who were also hot after the services of the former St. Louis Federal League star. Kommers will not only fit in nicely in center field but is sure to bolster up that old batting order. Bing a slugger of some repute Hofman is almost sure to use him in the cleanup position where hi will do the club most good with his long drives. in all probability Hammond's lineup for Sunday will be about as follows: Rhode, rf; Knight, ss; Mosul. 2b: Kommers. cf: Hofman. lb: DeLave or Bourke, If; Fieder or Moll. 3b; Hudson, c: r.eynedds. p. The addition of Kommers gives the club the needed hitting strength to partly offset the loss of nenning and you can gamble on this fellow- to come through in the pinch ss he sure is there with the punch when a hit means a run and possibly your ball game. Big Jim Reynolds, our new pitcher, is working out regularly this week and promises to be In the pink of condition for Sunday's games. Johnny Simmons, who looked good enough a year or so ago to get a trial with the Cubs will be the mainstay in the box for the visitors, and according to a report in last, night's Chicago pa-

Wheezer Dell, the ex-Robin twirler, had lots of hard luck last season and looked unable to win a game. When sent to Baltimore he preferred to retire, but he's planning to come back this season. He says he'll report to Brooklyn and if he makes the right sort of a start he should be a winner as he has lots of stuil.

RED CROSS TO REFUSE MONET FROM BIG. BOUT General Manager Wires He Will Not Accept a Share of Big Fight.

CV-:.-Ai.;-:'.J

MINNEAPOLIS. April 26. Negotiations for the big chanii'ionship heavyweight battle in the T in Cities are still on. notwithstanding the many protests that have been filed with the public safety commission and the state b".vingr commission. There is some talk of staging the fight on July 3 to eliminate any talk of desperation of Independence Day. There will be a public hearing before the public safety commission May 4. when arguments for ami against the battle will b heard. Georgo K. Scott, assistant general mananger of the Red Cross, wired the local Red Cross officers today that the Red Cross would not accept any money whieh might come as h result of the fight. All St. Faul newspapers oppose tht fight In caustic editorials, claiming a championship battle at this time would be wholly unpatriotic, and stating the principals should do their fighting "over there "
