The Hammond lineup for this evening's game is a big mystery anh even the coach himself has not dectyled aa in whom he may start.

Shanks and Dolton at the forward j stands and the Nichols-Eggers com- i bination to do the guarding. j

Tho j game tonight win or lose will give j the purple and white talent a needed j worwkout which will come in handyj for tomorrow's game. While both con-fj tests with the Gary teams do not countij as far as the state championship goesj' the locals are anxious to win and an fieri break with Jack Gilrcy's trained; to the minute teams will be highly ac-j' ecptable by all conceived.
WILLARD
CAN NAVE THE FIGHT
E. C. CLUB TO PLAY COMETS
BY JACK VEIOCK lSTF CORESPONDENT 1 f SLSVfC 1 NEW TQHK, I-'eb. 18. "If Jess WIN laid w.ints a whancc at Jack Detnpsey's title hi- can have a. match within the next sixty jr seven days 1" Jack K:a-iis. ;:iuiiagfT of the rkor.tpion. made this announcement tod.jy in answer to Wjllard's recent statement vt-tr. rding tho postponing r their f-" t, Patrick's day bout at Madison Square Garden. "1 will po.'t a forfeit o.f SiO.OC for a match between Willard and Dempsey," Kearns continued, "and will guarantee Willard S'l,000 for his end providing ,ic will, post ? 15. 000 to go through with th? match. "Dompsey was, rot tie one who too.c a run out powiHer and there is stilt plenty of time for the staging of th.s match. Under our contract with th? promoters of the Carpentier bout, w.": still have sijety or seventy days ni which to meet Willard. "If Jess doesn't want the match within that length of time he will have to wait until after Dempsey meets Carpesntier.' ICearns added that he will sign with Jess for a bout at any place and for any promoter wno wants the match. He reiterated a previous statement to the effect 'that the failure of Wi'.lar 1 to return to New York for a conference was the r-nson for the falling through of the St. Patrick's day data. "I want to say emphatically.' Kearns continual, "that the champion is ready at any time to sign to meet Willard or anybody e's. We do not fear Willard. 1 believe Dempsey would heat him again as quickly as he did at Toledo. "Willard is quoted to the effect that he stands ready io post a forfeit. Let him put it up. I'll put up 550.000 to guarantee that we will go througn with our end of it." Regarding Dernpsey's contemplated trip to Europe. Kearns said that he is considering several offers, one reeciveu yesterday from II. B. Marineili, Ltd. a theatrical exchange, for a tour cf Europe. A representative of the company made Kearns a proposition that looks attractive and if he accepts J". Dempsey will ail from New YorK within a short time to start his tour on tiie other side about March 7. Tho status of the Dempsey-Carpen-tler match, Kearns said, is unchanged today. "Though Rickard and attorneys tor Brady and Cochran are waiting fot Cochran's signed power of attorney to arrive from England before making a transfer cf ail interests to P.ickard," Kearns said. "I real'y believe Cochran win remain in the match. If Kickard wants to go ahead alone he can do so legally, however."
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES! , WHITING. In-1, Feb. IS, In a fast 'game of basketball at the Franklin gym the Hooker lub T..C Whiting tri--utnphrd ovor tivj Tri Mu Club of Tvobertsclale by th c ne-sided score of 4'J to 17. The iloositis outclassed the Tri JIu'.s in every pha."e of the game, and at no time did the Kobertsdale lads have a look in. The Til Mu's started off with a rush and a fi'-ld goal by Homnn pat them out in iront. Dufallo of the Jloosiers soon evened the count and lIich Can nor tossed a couple of nnijors. Th.- lio.'siers then hld tin- leal throughout. Clever team wink an i excellent basket shooting helped materially in bringing abou the downfall in the Tri Mus. The. team worked as a machine and by playing a short passing game the Jloosicrs had an offense that could not he stopped. Canner. with ten baskets was the leadinrr point getter. Several of his baskets were made from difficult angUs. Etter did not play his usual steady game, he only accumulating two baskets in the forty minute- fray, but he. did sonie nice passing and fed the bail to (Jrmner who made the majority of the points, Captain Goldriek came through v.-itn flying colors, besides making 'four baskets he played an airtight defensive game. Dufallo making his first appearance with teh Oil City lads played a bang up game and lie certainly deserves a lot of credit. Meek was like a stone wall to tiie Tri Mus, they siiv.;iy could not make baskets while he was within reach of them. Homan a.ad P. Stanton played stellar offensive games tor the Tri Mus whils Iiinhammcr starred on the defense. The rioosiers are angling foi anoth cr game with the All Saints who now claim the 115 pound championship or Lake county. The Ilooslers have won one game out of three, but as two o." the games were played on the AT Saints floor they feel that they are entitled to a crack at them either on the home floor or on a neutral one.

try conclusions with the club- five. The East Chicago .boys are gaining steadily in poptilaiity as well as in fcklil and speed.
