Red Crowns and Colonials to Meetfor Basketball Honors in Series of Games

Basket ball fans of the Calumet I region will b very much lutercslr-d in ! the annc uncernen- of a horn and !:.-r.-. r, ot basketball pnn which have j V.eeii s.rranged between the formido bU- ! Red Crown team of- Whiting- and the i Hammond Colon :.?. Th Col ordain with record of 2? wins this f"sui! R- tit logical team. r- thf? Calume' rfglon to meet lh Tl-d Crown for the Northern Indiana b.i.v.etball champlonfiiip. v.-iuch re-Hi -d with the latter Teaii for the past .!x years, in fact evr since it was organized. Whiting ht been the recognized basKetbnU center of u.e Calumet region, v.nii! this year, when Hammond has come to the fore with a tcar-i that la equally as tron as the Red Crowns who represent Tins sister city. Hammond li deserving of rntu-K ered't for the sowing she l-.a. ma4e in the cage game this j enr ami the insistent demands of the Hamnunii f.uis for a home and homo series with the Tied Crownjt, have mate such nn arrangement possible. The. Colonials will put her strongest te"m on the floor again-t th. Kan Crown and win be backed by hr fans, i 0 i strong in the first game which wi'ii he played at Whining, on next Thursday j-vening Knroitrasrod by the showing of the Kast Chicago db team in thflr game with WhiMny, the Colonials hope for naught but victory in the!- pninf against th Red Crovin. The K:i-st. :liicag; tam with Oap'ay she! ton aiH .Smith of th.e Colonial j.-uyed ticformidable Whiting team to a Ft.mlU11, the final score bcit.g 23-10. The "olonieJs are considered a good It u"t stronger tear.i than Kssf Chicago, and 'herein lies the reason o-; her fans for wa-tlng this series of games. Manager Chayken of tin? Colonials in .-peaking of the game Is confident that his team will come out on top. Tim Red Crowns are beynnl ;i, doubt one of the stronge-t teams of the centra? nates but the record of th; Colonials This year is equally as good us that of our opponents. They have suffered five, defeats to date, and cur Hammond five ha.s cot tasted defeat !n IS games. wMch 19 in itself a remarkable r'crd for any team. Our opponents in the games this year have been the strongest teams that it has been possible to get. Wt have gone to considerable expense In bringing the best to Hammond for games, but we fr-el that our efforts havH been well re-,vard"d through Die !evelopment of th- l.st team that has ever represfntel ilammond on the basketball fioor. We wanted, this game with 1 he Red browns bcavioe we feel that we can defeat them. It has only been aft-fr much, persuasion that the Whiting management consentel to the home and home agreement. With Captain helton who has been the mains'av of the Hammond team, along with Kstiith, Grace, Thompson. VcTiker. Harris and Scoot, I feel that man for man our team is equally strong- and svill win out over the famous Whiting uintet. Manager Griffith of the Red Crowns when asked about the game was d!fInciined to say anything when pressed 'or a. few works, he said: "Our Rnl ''towns are for the tirst time the defenders. We have worked hard at Whiting to build up a team thnt would he second to none. Ca.-b i .m r we have hopes of going through the season without a defeat. I.'ntil this year wo have been what you might cail a heme team, by that I me;n we did rot tra-vel except for an exchange, of one or two games. This year w have adopted a different polity ?nd have traveled I onslderable . To ibtte we have played in 23 game: of which we have lost 6. It is hard for a t-am to win on the road, they must lie s..t least "5 per cent stronger t!an their opponents in euch games in order L off,t the disadvantages r: a Ftrange f.oor, hostile crowd of fans and other handicaps. Wo have beri fairly suceeMfnl in our road g!itn-s. piayjii- the h-st teams in Indiana. I '-innis and Wisconsin. We have won out f 10. Two of the games were lost by a ore and two point margin.

H,. ,vili ,1Uen an extended encasement at; the Hippodrome lontjjbt with jack K earns to feeii him Kks and the management to feed him pay checks, meantime awaiting developments from Messrs. Oreh, Gibbons. Wills and Norfolk. One of that ouartette is to be Impt.ey's nevt fistic vis-a-vis. which probably means his next knockout ictim. Kvon tiie folks in i'it t sbu rj;!i and St. ban! wouldn't (-are much about backing either Crcb or Gibbons at short odds.

.However, the public seems to some action in the heavyweight sion ami starting this vu-k, the

lie will be obliged. Harry Gre-b is coming on from Pittsburgh tomorrow to finish his trainingfor tlie big- fight on March in. Gibbons Is due here Friday. Meanwhile. Uarry Wilis and Kid Norfolk are to meet, here on Thursday nip,hi for what might, he termed the folored heavyweight chaniponshi i and litre again a prospective opponent for Jiempsey is in the making. Whether survivor wi.l ever be allowed in the same ring: with the champion is another matter. I the bout would be, countenanced, Wills would make by far the better attraction, particularly if ha should knock the Norfolk person for a series of southern exposures. likewise, it is the writer's opinion that Gibbons could be built up into a hotter card than Greb, in spite of the fact that the Pittsburgh windmill, might easily outslap Dempsey in a limited round engra g-ement .
