Gary with two, Miller. Ind.. with a single team and Hammond without four Quintet with the probability of several others before entries close on Sunday, the first annual Lake county basketball tournament to be held at the Lafayette school gymnasium Friday evening. Saturday afternoon and evening- of March 17, and 18. Is assured of success, post athletic officer Irving- Chayken of the Hammond American Legion in charge of the 125135 pound tournament believes that attendance records at the comintj games will be smashed to pieces. The teams who have enterel thus far have strong followings in their respective Quarters and the Lafayette school will be packed with many wIKJ eyed rooters. Indications are that the teams entered will be evenly matched. Thus far no one will vonture an opinion as to -who will cop the leadinsr berth. One thing Is assured, that the team who wins the crown will be the best In the entire county. In past years every five in the county has always allowed a howl at the end of the season claiming & championship. This reason with the American Legion in charge of the first meet of Its kind in the entire state light-weight teams will have no kick coming as any 125-135 pound team can enter. Pat McShane, famous East Chicago sport and coach of the Dodgers will enter his team and ths Twin City boys -will bear watching. CJus Lie-tzen's Columbia A. C. five will also compete for the county honors and Manager "Chuck" Liesenfeldt ventures a word that his players will be in the running at the end. The N. E. Comets haven't entered as yet but may fall in line before the week end. While unusual interest Is being taken by players and fans in the coming meet. Most every lightweight team in the county is practicing for the American Legion tournament . Each player of the winning team in the tournament will receive a beautiful medal engraved with a basketball while th. second team in the finals will get a large silver loving cup. Entries for the games cen be sent to Irving Chayken at 19 Dcty street, Hammond. Each team is allowed eight players and the games will be played under the rules of the A. A. U.

HAMMOND, IND.
BY LiARRY GEORGE. The referee had issued his injunctions relative to the observance of the rules of Marqulst of Queensbury; then Patsy Rocco of East Chicago and "One Round" McGovern of the west side walked back to their respective corners in the temporary ring constructed in the Elk's clubrooms of Chicago, and, around which sat the elite of Chicago's sportsmen. A last hurried word of advice by the nervous seconds was whispered, and then the timekeeper's clang announcing the opening of the bout rang out. The two pugs advanced to the center of the ring, each according to his frame of mind McGovern, lightly, confidentially anl almo&t rashly; Rocco, cautiously, studiously and decidedly wary. They shook hands, or better, gloves, as it is customary to do in Moyle's "Wherefore and How," then
v they stewed apart to square up for
McGovern, husky, and smiling, led with a left to thj face; Rocco, not quite so husky and scowling, parried. McGovern stepped back and then immediately ' in again with .a vicious left hook to the kiJneys, his right ready to instantly cross over to the jaw. But tho kidneys were not there for Patsy had divined the ruse and had taken a step back out of danger. , McGovern, somewhat piqued that neither of hi3 blows had registered, knit his brow in momentary contemplation; then, deciding to redeem his "One Round" reputation before the distinguished spectators around the ring, he tore in with a vim that w-as not lacking in rash determination. Rocco, still scowling back up before the onslaught of gloves parring and blocking them with a skill which McGovern had not counted on meeting. The terrible West Sider, noting that this plan of battle was to no avail, rushed into a close clinch to regain his lost breath and his quickly ebbing confidence. They came out of their embrace, u tell-tale question mark written on the battered mug of McGovern, and an ominous smile overspreading the "Wop's" map. A glance at McGovern's face reassured him. 1 -

HARRY GIUKORE, 68 YEARS YOUNG TODAY TO SHOW RING SKILL Harry Gilmore, the veteran boxing instructor, will be 68 years old today. Does he feel young He surely does, for listen to this: "I'm feeling just like a kid and I can still handle my dukes. I want to arrange a "four round bout for po.nts with former lightweight champion. Battling Nelson just to show that I'm not old. 1 Tt Vm tro ahead and match me and
I'll be there to beat these youngsters."
Then Patsy opened up. , He steppei in and out w-ith the grace of a classi
cal dancer, feinting a light left at the jaw with a neat precision. Another
left feint to the face brought McGov
ern s guard up, then, crash! Rocco's
right landed below McGovern's heart
He staggered, a terrified expression be
lied his pain. Rocco swung again plunk! His left registered on McGov-
ern s falling chin. Bang! Bing!
Bung! Socko! Went home Patsy's flying haymakers. -
Crash, fell IfcGovern, kissing the
canvas in an indolent sleep while the
referee tolled ten, finishing exactly
sixty seconds after the opening gong
So quickly had it happened and so easily was it consummated that the guests were taken back by surprise;
and, as it always occurs in such in
stances, they let out a primitive yell of
appreciation as soon as they had re
gained their equilibrium. After this release of boyhood glee, they joyously
turned to each other all talking at
once and all asking the same questions,
"Who is this Patsy Rocco, this finished boxer, this master strategist with
the kick of a Big Bertha in his mitts?"' "Surely, ha is no legitimate third rater to knock cut 'One Round' McGovern so easily!" 'Why, McGovrn has been bowling over all the tough ones with ease these past six months." "I know it, he has fifteen straight K. O.'s to his credit ad most of them are one rounder. Besides his manager, Mullen, is considered one of the best in the, business." "This boy must be a dark horse." "Wow! Did you see him hit?' And thus it went, Rocco was the ido of the hour. Millionaires, prominent
professional men of Chicago, ring experts of the country, all sought him out to shake li is hand and to congratulate him. Al! invariably predicted a brilliant future for him, and all were eager to receive him Into their midst. Indeed, East Chicago's youthful phenom he is only eighteen years old and his manager, Tim O'Neil, were accorded a homage and an admiration that kings court in vain. Sincere and touching, it w.is the climax to his brilliant performance for the evening. ALL SAINTS TO CLOSE THEIR SEASON SOON All Saints C. O.

E. C. DODGERS WIN POOR GAME in a slow, slovenly, uninteresting game the East Chicago Dodgers shambled an unimpressive win over the lighter Calumet Tigers last Tuesday night, March 7, in the curtain raiser for the East Chicago club-Big Five game -at the McKinley gym. The final score was 10 to 5. What made the lemon taste more sour to Coach Pat McSbane of the Dodgers was the large number of fans congregated there, who watched the affair with an indifference that a poor contest always merits. It -was featured, or rather spoiled, by' some extremley poor shooting, and a good deal by much uncalled for grandstand individualism. . This is a habit that the Dodgers players fall into when ever thay play before a full ftuse. notwithstanding their teachings to the contrary. They seem to labor under the false impression that such tactics are indispensable to their future reputation ir, the game. The Dodgers have three times had the honor to participate in the prelimaries before the crowds that the Big .Five games have attracted in this region and only once did their endeavors opme up to the standards that the
team is capable of meeting. , This Is, indeed, a poor average for a fi'e of the Dodgers calibre. Coach McShane has constantly threatened a shakeup if his men do not put into effect his teachings at all times, and it seems that it is almost necessary for him to follow tns expedient in order to insure better teamwork and less individualism in their games before large houses.
