EAST CHICAGO DODGERS ENTER

BY TjARRT GEORGE. Ths East Chicago Dodgers under Coaeh Pat MeShane have thrown their hats, gauntlets and swords into the ring mors commonly known as the amateur llghtlslgbt championship tournament of Daks county to be held March 17 an dl8 at the Hammond Lafayetts gymnasium. The Dodgers will enter as stron ga team as their club can command in its membership, and it will b estrong enough to be up there at ths last, fighting for either first or second place. The line-up will be announced later. t Thl stournament, the first of its kind ever attempted in this region. Is under the personal supervslon of Irving Chayken, ths versatile newspaper man of Hammond. He is also post athletic director of the Hammond Post of the American Legion. The American Legon Is sponsoring the affair. Without a doubt Chayken is ths best man that could be secured to take the reins of this thing, for it requires the knowledge and skill of an experienced, honest and fearless person to successfully swing It. Chayken has Long ago served his apprenticeship in the sporting game, and now n his present capacity as the Legion athletic director, and In his experience as manager for the Colonials he Is amply fitted to successfully realize all the complex details of a tournament of this nature. His reputation for square dealing, his Integrity of purpose and above all, his public position in the local sporting world Is sufficient g-uarantee to all teams who are timid about entering. The East Chicago Dodgers officially goes down in support and favor of his policies. Among- some of the restrictions he OPERATION KEEPS GEORGES IN ROOM PARIS. March 10. (A. P.)

Dear Sirs: Noticed the letter by Mr. Hacklander the Wenthworth H. S. coach, to the effect that when the Wenthworth Team played he South Side Comets the game was only a practice game, and they had their second string men against us. In reply I wish to say that that was not true. When we scheduled the game we offered to make It a practice game but the coach said if they played It would be a regular game. All of these men spoke of it as a regular game. Also about their second string men. only one of these regular men was out of the line up, in the second half or rather the third quarter they put these seconds in; when we were ahead 166. It's a poor sport that kicks after he loses but If they are not satisfied we now challenge them to another game to be played at the South Side gynasium any night that ths gym can be obtained.

Although there is no white opponent in sight for Dempsey in this country just now. he can do far better by remaining here than jroinjr abroad. Despite the talk of a DempseyCarpentier match in England, there is no demand lor siren an anair. At the present time boxing: in Eng land is undergoing: a reiorjn speii. A strong movement is under way A c4iioa 4-Via lira nf ths mirsCS. A ficht is on to eliminate guaranties to the boxers, lor tney iae ucu matters more seriously in jngiano. Already Joe Beckett, the most avaricious of the English boxers, has seen the lurnt. Joey nas signed to meet George Cook on March 27, and In deference to public demand he has cut out the guaranty and consented to work on a percentage basis for the first time since he won the title. English sport writers found It difficult to believe that Dempsey and Carpentier had been guaranteed $500,000. Right up to the day of the fight they insisted that the big purse was just a lot of American ballyhoo, and it was not until the cable told of the gathering of the tremendous crowd that they believed that so much money actually was at stake. Just now there is general rejoicing in England over the fact that what they term the "crasy season" is over, and that in the future the fighters most be satisfied with a percentage of the receipt. If Dempsey and Carpentier trfed to rcueef a big guaranty out of an Knglifh promoter a protest would go up that could be heard across the Atlantic. Aside from the difficulty over the purse there are other reasons why a Dempsey-Carpentier bout is not likely to take place. Carpentier

The special feature of the game was the stellar team-work cf the Hebrews and their ability to keep up a fas. pace till the end. Is It Not S7 One doctor says sleep is merely a habit.

Although the Frenchman won with a knockout in four rounds he was much nearer defeat than the cable told. He showed that he could not stand body punishment and that he had lost much of his speed of hand and foot. As for the English heavyweights, it is doubtful whether any of them could be dragged into the ring witn Demp&ey even for a big loser s end. If the champion was to be matched with Beckett or Wells or Goddard there would be a general outcry against the affair, for English boxing followers have ceased to hold delusions in regard to the ability of their big men. It Is a fact that English fans often become greatly excited over matches that American fans would not give more than a passing thought to. It is so seldom that they see a real fighter on the other side their standard is a great deal lower than over here. But the English fan will not fall for a bunk match when he knows it it the buck as his American cousin does.
