CHAMPION IS DOING HARD WORK

SOME men spend months in selecting a car and minutes in deciding on its tire equipment And yet the best car in the world is ultimately no better than its tires. With Firestone GraySidewall Tires between you and the road you can rest assured of getting every dollar's worth of satisfaction out of your car that the makers put into it

Willard Putting Whole Heart Into Task of Getting in Shape. By O. MENKE ISTAFr CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! TOLEDO, O., June IS. Jess Willard is whoopin git up in his training- camp these days as he never whopped it hefore. The champion working at last with his whole heart and soul in the tasks before him, is walloping and being walloped Into what now promises to be real fighting condition on July 4. Apparently Willard became alive to the fact a few days ago that Tempua is fugiting rather hurriedly and that the remaining training days are few. Or perhaps it was the feverish behest of his most ardent admirers of "speed it up, Jess, speed it up." that was the influence. But no matter what the cause, the fact is "indisputable that "Willard now is zipping along at full speed ahead. And the promise that he has made "I will be in real shape when I f.ght Jack Dempsey" seems possible of fulfillment. Four sparring partners now hold forth in Willard's camp where two reigned before. And each serves a different function in conditioning the champion. Jack Heinen, beaming around 220. is the punch-taker. It is his job to slug with Jess to hit the champion with ail he's got a.nd take anything that the big felow sends back. Both jobs are rather difficult for Heinen. big and rather shifty though he is. He lands often enough on the champion, because Willard isn't using much defense against him. He wants to let Heinen hit so as to toughen him for the Dempsey mashes. But Heinen's punches never even bring a wince on "Villard"s face. On the other hand, when the mighty "Willard paws, although encased in sixteen ounces of padding, thud against the dome or amidships section of Heinen something happens to Heinen. It used to be his boast that he could take anybody's wallop and still retain his equilibrium. But he boasts no more.

Joe Chip, who displaces 165 pounds and looks like a bantam alongside of Jess, is the bo that provokes speed outbursts. It is his job to try the hit and getaway system. He hasn't been uniformly successful at it either. But his speed pleases Jess and makes Chip a valuable addition to the camp because any game of "chase me" is just suited to speeding up the champion, who hasn't practiced much on the shifty siff so far. "Walter Monahan and Jack Hemple are the general all around athletes. They do anything that Jess elects. If he wants to slug, they slug it with him; if the champion wants prancing exercise, the veteran standbys oblige; if Jess wants o test the resistance of his Jaw and tummy, they hurl themselves, hands first, in the specified direction. It is a good. squad that Jess has now and it needs to be for the champion has cut loose at last, working at top speed and with splendid earnestness and when Jess is in that sort of mood it requires the services of at least four men to keep step with him.

HAMMOND K. C. WIN HARD GAME Hammond K. C. traveled to Whiting last Sunday and defeated the Whiting team by the score , of 9 to 7. Whiting had a hard time to find Jimmie Dalton as he was pitching in good form as usual, striking out 14 batters in eight innings. On account of being a real hot Sunday and the heat hard on the pitchers "Whiting found Dalton in the eighth inning scoring seven runs. Hammond K. C. called on their old reliable pitcher Eddie Flyn nwho held" the Whiting boys down to two hits in four innings. Hammond K. C. won the game in the eleventh inning by hard hitting. The feature of the game was the good hitting of Hank Meyer. Manager Leo Gehring of the K. C. scheduled the Columbia A. C. for next Sunday, June 22. at Harrison Park. Columbia A. C. is the only team this year that has defeated the K. C. and the K. C. are out to make it & different story next Sunday. Score: Whiting 0 000000700 0 7 Ham. K. C 0 10 0002400 29

FOUR STRAIGHT FOR ST. CYRILLS The St. Cyrills of Whiting won their fourth consecutive victory In a game with the Olympics cf East Hammond, which was played on the latter's grounds.

If., and the heavy hitting of Andy Kaminsky and

"Butch" Opat. That- the Whiting boys are developing into a fast team is due to the fine management of Frank C. Raicany.

SIMON PITCHES ONE-HIT GAME The redoubtable Simon of the East Chicago Peerless A. C. almost carved another niche in the hall of fame last Sunday at Morris Park when he held the strong Hammond Crystals down to one hit and one run. Only thirty men faced him, two of these reaching first by a walk and one by a hit. Besides pitching a brilliant game he played a perfect fielding battle. He assisted in the demise of five Crystal batters. Eleven strikeouts was the toll he meted out to the Hammond boys. This makes the second one-hit game Simon has twirled this season. He has already fiunga nothit bill. Fallen, of the Crystals, was a little wild at the beginning, but when he roughened the ball a bit he proved more difficult to hit. Only six bingles were garnered off his delivery. He whipped fourteen Peerless batters. The Peerless played their fourt herrorless game of the season. Thirteen balls were poked at the infield, and they were all fielded perfectly for as many put-outs. Edgar grabbing S. Peecher 3 and Simon 5. This makes the ninth straight win the Peerless have chalked up this seaeon. Their defeat column still remains undecorated. Score: . ...
