As mnnacfr of the Scats 1

state the reason why tha Seats 1 j not play at Morris park every Sunday. Just to make h story short will say the offers that we. are getting from cities within a few miles of llammnn are too great to turn down. So far if." Beats have had some very Rood Raines booked, such as .Michigan City. Valpo. Goshen and Mun'i-. Ind. These clubs all seem to have the same desire t" play the Scats. The reason is, it

seems, that the Scatena basebail has played such Kood and clean ball that thev are in demand all

the state of Indiana. The Seat's bad luck came June 1 when their star thirl baseman Sky Meyers, received a telegram asking him to come to Huntington, Ind.. to play third base with that club and aJao captain the team. AHh-'ush w hate to Bf Sky Meyrs Have th.- Scatena club we wish him all tho luck in the world. Wo do r,"t know what nie salary is that Hur.titifrton lias offered this player, it sure must be a fat sum . Of course the fans will miss t lie fast third baseman, but as far a.- we know now Mr. Meyer's place will he taken care of by Mr. Rhod-, who al." la a star arouni the third base. Although Mr. Meyers has left the Scatina there Is still a Scatena unirorm waiting for him any time he wants It. Batting: order f r Sunday's game will be as follows: Love, 2b; Atchison, l!i Thompson.

STRONG

NK TO FACu COUIBIAS

JTot d'.scourag-ed over their defeat banded them by the Illinois Giants last Sunday, the Columbia A. C. team will face the strong- Joliet nine at the West Hammond ball park Sunday. The Steel City team is considered one of tho b"st in the leapru at the present time, having won five straight srames. The fans of Hammond know what kind of a team Joliet has, and will remember the games which Hammond played them a few seasons ago. Manager I.i'tzan is having- his team out every niht this week for practice, as he knoivns that he is up against some touR-h proposition. The lineup wil! be given a shakfnp this Sunday, so that there won't be any misplays, as in th last combat against the Giants. The Columbias are g.iod with the tick. They have some very pood batters in Thompson. Jablonskl. Krug and Romeo, but will have to Improve In the defense as loose playing: caused them to lose against the powerful Giant team. Managrer Lletzan announced-that he will have some new talent in the linetip for Sunday's combat, although he does not really know who it will be. He expects to start Komeo on the mound with Smith doing- the receiving, Thompson will hold down the initial ack, Jablonski wil be shifted back to the Keystone sack and Steepe will probably take care of the far corner, a new face will be In the short stop position. The team is handleaped by injuries which were received in the opening game, hut Capt. Thompson etatea that he has enough men to take care of the outfbld position. A large crowd attended last Sunday's game, but a much larger crowd should be on hand when these two teams stack up against each other. The ball park la located in the center of the town, making it convenient for every one to come over. Tho lineup will b- an Bounced later.

"Carpentier's in the prime. nis life right now and he is getting the chance he always dream of, at the age of 27. He's wanted t be champion ever since he was a kid and you'll see him fight like a stung tig' r July 2. "I don't mean to say that Iiempsey Is a mug but he isn't the man ho was.

fLEVEI'ANU, U., June 3. In strik

ing contract to Georges Carpentier's Ions climh up the iistic ladder through the various divisions from bantam to heavyweight is the meteoric rise ot champion Jack Pempsey. Less than six years ago the present titlehobler broke into the records for the first time. He then was years old. What he did not know about the boxing game in those days would have filled many a volume, for he was just a big, strong, rough and tumble lad with an idea that be wanted to be a tighter but no knowledge of how to use his strengtn and no one to tell him what to do. llis first year in professional boxing t.g i r w as tilled w ith disappointments, for. though he won a number of bouts with knockouts, be was unable to earn a fair living and often had to "ride the roils" in jumping about the cuntry. The following year found him little if any better off and toward the latter part of 1916 he became discouraged and decided to give up the ejiine when he was beaten in four rounds by Jack Downey, a very ordinary lighter. Had it not been for Jack Kearns,

The Triangles of Indiana Harbor I Iiempsey mUht have passed out ot will cross bats with the fast Roberts- sight pugilist ieally . But fate decreed dale Greys Sunday. June 5. at the Har-j that he and Ken.-ns should meet with bor ball "park . The game will be called j the result that within three hor nt ":"0 o'clock. j years Kearns piloted his protegu to the Pat I. ind the stellar "pitohlrg- ace'j world's championship, will be on the mound for the Triangles! The last time Iiempsey tasted defeat

v. :t h Hedwail as his battery mate. ' was in February. 191

when Firemm

Jim Flynn knocktid him out in the first round of a bout at Salt Lake City, i The fame year Dempsey boxed his two i much discussed battles with Willie Meehan who proved a puzzle to the fc'.Ut balu uoy. But liernptey was, learning constantly. Kearns earn-j paigned him in the f ur round t ;n;o I on the Pacific coast and he won deei- j sions over Charley Milltr. Gunboat Smith. Carl llorria and several others, j At this time Dempsey was just Leginning to fill out and he started to i take on weight. As he went along lie! kept growing heavier though he did': not take, on poundage as fast as did' Carpentier. He was continually grow -I ing stronger and under the wtnjj ol j Kearns he rapidly picked up the fine points of the game. j Dempsey may not be a wizard nlj scientific boxing-. He is thu rushing punishing type or lighter whose i- j fense Is in many ways this best de- i fense, yet the fact that he bears no1 marks of severe damage indicated that ' he is well able to take care of himseir. , Two other things about the champion stand out boldly. He is a twofisted fighter, admirably proportioned and strong as a young hull. He likes to fight, too. though he 13 not teniprrnentally vicious as his rushing style suggests. Like a thoroughbred racehorse, Dempsey Is pretty highly strung. Action and plenty or It, is the only thing that relieves the nervous tension that always grips him as he waits for t'i? first bell, so he comes by his rushing fctyle naturally. He couid riot make his best fight in any other way and i think the Brennant fight furnished convincing proof of this. j , I
