l. CHICAGO BALLTOSSERS

SchoolTeamOutforRevenge tor Beating Given by Chicago Heights Team Not daunted by the 16 to 1 defeat handed them by the Chicago Heights aggregation last Saturday. Cotton Smith and '-.is gang- of baseball lessors of East Chicago are out thl week between the showers limbering up and preparing to get revenge when they journey to the Illinois city a week from Saturday. For several years baseball has not been taken seriously at the East Chicago institution, and the baseball knowledge of the present crop of players has been gleaned from rand-lot experience and 13 therefore not very unified nor very thorough. Of material. Smith has a host, such as it is. In Saturday's game the pitchers were -wild, the fielders erratic, and the batters unable to connect with the offerings of a mediocre pitcher. Asidq from these few faults they played good baseball. A few days of grod weather for practice should worl: wonders, for every man out for the team is a worker and is willing to learn. This spirit of work and co-operation, which has proved itself against all ojjst jfr-lrs in the past, v.i'.l certainly produce- a team worthy of the school. The biggest, handicap at the present i? lack of a suitable diamond. With equaj facilities we believe East Chicago could turn out as good athletic teams as .any city !n Northern Indiana, but lack of suitable gymnasium and athletic fields is a big handicap for the hoys to shoulder. WILL GATHER THIS EVENING Storm clouds that for the past week have hovered above the horizon of the Calumet Twilight ljeague v-l"l break teiiight or will banish before the br gat sunshine of harmony. Over the bat-ie. ground of give-and-take managers of a dozen teams tonight will attempt to draw up and ado-p't by-laws for governing the league during the coming season. Two knotty problems presunt themselves at the outset. These are: Shall membership in t HQ league be reserved to Hammond and "West Hammond teams alone? What shall be the status of sotailed professional pitching? Will the industries and establishments represented by teams give vonie assurance that they will not permit their pitchers who hurl in the Twilight League to pitch alsJ professional ball on Saturdays and S-.ndays? In the event that these advantages of the better organized teams prevail; that establishments having the financial ability to make basehall a major production durinsr the

summer persist. In utilizing every opportunity to build up invincible teams, how will the weaker clui)? meet, such opposition? They'll kn-'w before they r,o out to the field that they're going to be licked. Sometimes badly. Not much fun in getting licked every time. But that's what will happen with the present lop-sided arrangement. There Is m way out. More than a dozen teams have signified an ambition to enter the Twilight League. Homo of these are far weaker tluin others. Perhaps eight or nine teams are well-balanced. The others are made up of mediocre players. If these teams will pardon the candor it migK be pointed out here that neither the Police mr the Bankers nor the T;mes can hope to compete with some of the others if they are permitted to employ players whose first business is ball. Of course that's fair enough. The

fans don't want to watch mediocre ball when it in feitured in sharp contrast on the same diamond with stellar playing, But what these weaker teams should do is to form a new league. There are other teams in the city that would 1-ke to join such a league male up of teams like the Cops and Hankers. The Kiwanian-. the Rotarians, the City Hall, and other associations and clubs throughout the city would provide tMltlF. "Well, all that will be on its way to final settlement when the Twilight T,e:icui. managers meet tonight at the SuoerioT court building to complete organizationSEE YANKS L!

"Wait until the race-" He did wait until the race and then went so fast he beat his former tutor to the finish wire. It was a great day for Itos coe. . , Respected and feared on the course by all the drivers Sarles has undoubtedly assimilated the calm deliberate driving he saw while riding with Louis Chevrolet and the reckless; speeding abandon he learned while riding beside the tiny Joe Boyer, regarded as one o the most daring speeders that ever drove a race car.
