the usual high kick prevailed and in

many quarters it Is considered that the

contest was really a victory for Par-

duhn's stars. The play was In Cantons territory most of the time. Canton came int Chicago a m unbeatable eleven. Their backers were wagering" 2 to 1 that they would win and. that the professional championship was Canton's and it was indeed a surprise! to Thorpe, who stated after the game that he had, never placed against a better team. Should there be any glory passed out, Hammond should receive it. The locals were not expected to win. but surprised its following; by starting out in wonderful fashion.

Our Own Wring Lardner Sees Game

ChJ, Nov. 10. Friend A! : Well Al. I suppose you seen where they turned Cubs' Tk. into bullfighting. They name It football and puliad a battle royal yesterday. Anyways from where I waa setting acrost from third base thats what St looked like. The Hammonds team la supposed to play with those Canton bulldogs and no wonder "William McKlniey died at haveing to live in the same burs; with, them cannibals. It aura wu evident th.t them birds badnt been fed any meat for a week, else why should they of been crazy to bite Johnny Barrett, the juiciest meat on the Hammond's team? A tnajx with one eye looking out of the little end of a telescope could ee the first cracks out of a box. that them Ohire eggs was hard boiled and sore because they voted down the hootch in there state last Tuesday but why blame it on the Hammonds team? Every time they was a corps on the gTOund some Canton egg would try to bite a hunk out of it and if Eckersall who went in to umpire for Billy Evans hadnt of blown his whisael at the right time when some Hammond's player was scattered over the diamond hollering for help and nobody came the Canton footbawlTs. wouldnt of needed aT.y fresh meat for another we.e-k. Well Al, .Tamos Thorpe, the indian which I shall name Jim Thorpe was In the box for Canton and from where I was setting he also filled most of the oth".r positions on the nine plus two. I have kind of got ftn id ear that if the Hammonds team had any sence they would paid J im his jack before the game started and let him go back to the reservation In Canton, for it was like findins: a needle in a haystacks to look for some other Canton bulldog that cjuld have gained a yard a specially if Jim wassent around to kind of butt in. I don't half to tell you that Hammonds didnt sweat and they should ought to of won but eveTy time little Johnny Gee a Hammonds player tried to pull off some fancy stuff th-? Ohire bulldogs started to growl and it was good nighA shirt for the Hammonds team. Both lis made a kick from a placement wirh counted three runs apiece and that was all the scoring they was in the game. It w a.s evidents that neither ride could of figured out anything else but that a bird in the hands was worth 2 in tho bush and it look like to me as if they didnt want to make each other any sonrer than they was and let it go at that. All I have to say in regards to the bullfight is that ;t is a he-!l of a note that the spectators isnt a'bud to have pop bottles or some of them there Canton boys would of t-een laid out so cold they wouldnt of needed any ice to pack; on them . in order to ship them back to Canton.

punted out to Griggs on the 22-yard line. Grigen made two Fuccessful drives at center but Thorpe could not make the down and a.gain punted to Ghee", who made a fine catch and started the ball at scrimmage from 55-yard line without gaining any ground. Dcs Jardiens was hurt and V. Falcon took his place. The visitors made eight yards through center and Thorpe was again in evidence on a fake play around end. The Canton line was held and Thorpe attempted a. drop kick which was blocked by Jones and recovered by Ghee, who punted it

back to Griggs, the latter making a fair

catch. Thorpe tr ed an emplacement kick without success. A minute later tho game ended with the crowd jelling their approval in wild fashion. The line-up: Hammond, (3) Canton (3) Halai IE I'.olen Blackloek UT Kellison
