I.ast night George Carlson, president of the City Hall baseball team, announced he had Kerr's signature to a contract colling for more money than he ever received from the Sox. The City Hall nine is a new one on the local circuit. Carlson is the sponsor for it. and S'rank McNichoIs, on o.d time player, is the manager. The latter, when asked about the signing of Kerr, sa'.i it was news to him. lie admitted his club had been dickering with the pitcher and made him u tempting offer. .

DE-PALMA ENTERS LIST AT SPEEDWAY SPECIAL TO THE TIDES INDIANAPOLIS, March 31. Ralph T'ePalmo, who became the darling of tho speed fans through his evcr-roccuring-misfortune, - which he terms "dago luck" has entered the lists for the Tenth Annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes on the Indianapolis Motof Speedway next Memorial Day. Although he had won many events and had earned the title of dirt track champion, it was the loss of a race that gave Raphael DcPalma world fame. Victory has made many men famous but few have been abre to cash in on misfortune. The entry of DePalma means much to t-re average 'spaed fan among- the 150,000 who attend the 500-mile race. teralma has endeared himself to the followers of the speed pms througrh his ability to accept defeat with the same fangrfreid that hp enJoys victory; through his ability to outguess his competitor and to furnish more thrills for the fans that any other driver in the little more than five hours of annual competition; through his regrard for the neatne3 of his equipment and the spotless array and machinelike activities of his pit crew. Not only does DePalma delight the fans at Indlar.apolts with his method and manners on the course but the sa.me is true of the appearance of the famed Italian-American , on t.ie tracks, roads and sreedwaya from the Atlantic to the Paciflc and on the road course of France and Italy. In ' the ' coming fe00-ml!e race TePalma will pin his hopes of victory c n an American built racing machine one of Kred Tuesenberg's "straight eight" cars. It will rot be,,the first time that Ralph has driven a "duesy" in ccmpetttion. but It will be th first time he has used this brand of race car in "trie-greatest race of the year. " De,Palina has competed in eight of the proceeding nine races and in throe has had American - made mounts, and in si.t. cars from Europe. He has been nrre successful with the foreign cars, having won the 1915 race with a German Mercedes and finished fifth with the FYench .Ballot, in ; 1320. With the Yankee racers he was fifth in 1911 at the wheel of a Simplex and sixth In 1910 with the Pickard "Twin." One American and three foreign machines have fallnd htm.

MOORE SHAD

I TWILIGHT LEAGUE MEET From the moment the do;en baseball managers meeting last night at' the Superior court building. Hammend, agreed with a lifttty chorus of "yeas" to call their organisation1 the Calumot Twilight league until late In the scst-ion, harmony reigned and not a pop bottlo popped. Then with axich fury as &. disputed third strike might engender In a St. laula crowd of fans, dlsscnelon flamed' forth and AVebster hath no wordsii adequate to describe the touching Ecene thereafter enacted. I The fight centered about the quea-l tion whether to allow so-called professional pitchers to rUch for member clubs. The Cankers, the Tiroes and the police ganged up pn thi other boys und rode down that section of the'ly-Iaws which woul' permit use of professional pitcher on the slab George Hanlon, man ager of the Police team, brough some o the old riot tricks he knowt Into play and combined with th loyal support of the Bankers an the Times, he succeeded in puttinj a quietus to that score. But th other manageru say the thing isn'i settled definitely, although t" bylaws were approved lat nlgbt. It is written that the by-lawf were approved. That doesn't meat adopted. So there is still roam feu a lot of argument. It eeems to thit writer that the whole trouble revolves about the Question of howmuch is a professional There are mighty few pitchers connected with the national game in this community who haven't had their palms crossed with the well-known lucre The problem simmers down to this:How much it a professional?. Here are tome more cf the bylaws: , No new players eligible after July loth, unleaa he has been associated with the industry or- organization he represents for at least two weeks previous. Managers Khali submit list of eligible players to league officers before season opens. Games shall, start cot later than 6 p. m. Failure of any team to arrive at that hour sJjall constitute sufficient grounds to call the game forfeited. Postponed games must have approval of president of the league. Any team in the Calinnet region may enter the league. But these must play either in Hammond or West Hammond parka. Teams will place entry fee cf $15 with league treasurer on or befors April, IS. ' Teams net completing schedule "will rorfeit entry fee. Forfeits will be disposed of after maimer determined by remaining team. Three new team made application to enter the league laat night. These "were: Bonus A. C. a West Hammond,, represented by Jndge hrank Green; Grader Tank "Works, East Chicago, represented by Babe S Lai -non: and Edward H. Larsen Bot V. of F. "VF, represfcatei by F. TV. O'Donald, The manage will meet agaia on April 13th when entries will close. A schedule will be adopted at that time and final adoption of the bylaws will be made. In the meantime Frank O'Rourke will work on plans to told a dance and entertainment the proceeds of which will go to a fund for defraying cost of baseball and official expenses. GATE ROW BRINGS JUDGE TO WRATH BUFFALO. N. T., March 31. Sunday professional football here is prohibited by law and contracts made for such games are worthless, according to a decision yesterday by Jufitics Alonto Hinkley. . The ruling was given in a suit between owners of two elevens, one of which sued for $S'6, as his share of a Sunday game last fall. The other contended that as. a Sunday game was illegal, the cor.tract was invalid and the suit should be dismissed. His claim was granted, but In his decision. Ju3tice Hinkley scored the defendant. "One could not conceive of a more unsportsmanlike act," the decision says. "He took the benefits ef the contract, then after refusing to pay. plays the baby act by Invoking the Sunday statute. If he reflects the -baractur 'of professional foctball generally, then another favorite sport requires a house cleaning. : "Fakers nearly killed wrestling. Judge I-andis is renewing faith in baseball and the sta; is the guardian of boxing. It is the history of sport scandal that ail must suffer for the wrong doing of the few."'
