cause of the sarcastic ways he acted. Kurl Sirois said he would try to find some ICO-pounder to give a return battle to Battling Schneek, who beat iay Woods in two rounds. The fastest bout of -the evening was the four-round curtain raiser between two local paper-weights, Ivan Browhard and Irving LjuCnine, which went the limit. There was about fifty women In attendance, although the weather was very cold and the chances are that the severe weather hurt the attendance considerably. The Kankakee A. C. has made a rule that bouts are to start promptly at 8:13 and every day that there is to be a battle at the club all the seats will be washed so that nobody will get their clothes soiled from sitting down. I eay t,hat promptness and clean seats are the two main features of a club.

VETS AREVICTORS , The Veterans of Foreign Wars opened their baseball season at Harrison Park Sunday afternoon by defeating the Miller, Lnd., baseball club by a score of 13 to 4. Hilton of the Vets starred in the second injilng by his sensational drive to Hsft field with three men on base, netting the Vets four runs. He followed up this good work with two doubles in next two times at bat. Hilton took the mound for the Vets at the opening with King receiving. The first inning both teams were kept scoreless. The visitors scored one run in the second and the Vets then cinched the game by bringing in five runs, four of these made through. Hilton's home run. Zolla took the mound for the Vets in the fourth Inning and held the visitors to only one run in the last six innings. Zolla has all the material necessary for pitching and his work in this game is promising to the Vets, and will help them tc come to the front among the best of the semi-pro teams of Northern Indiana. King surprised the Miller team by his sure pegs to second and it will take a pretty fast man to beat his throw to the keystone pack. The game was free from argument and to the spectators of Hammond was as clean a game of baseball as iias ever been played in this city. The Vets expect to travel to Gary next Sunday and line-up wTth one of Gary's fast teams. Yesterday's score by Innings was as follows: Miller 012 100 000 6 4 V. F. W 051 050 20x 11 13 Hits: Home run, Hilton; two-base, Hilton 2, Payne. Coll, King. Struck out: By Johnson 10, by Hilton 5 in three innings, by Zolla 11 in six innings. Bases on balls: Off Johnson 2. off Hilton 2. off Zolla 1. Umpire: Ltpinski.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE Home runs accounted ifor three of the seven runs made in the Chicago--St. ' Louis game in the latter's stronghold. Kenneth Williams, who hit three homers on Saturday, oblig
ed with another yesterday. So did Johnny Mostil of the Sox. Likewise Johnny Tobin, who won the game for the Browns in the tenth inning with a drive into the rightfield bleachers. The Pirates claim they found .ne way to beat the Cubs. Just hammer the everlasting daylights out of the Chicago pitching. Good stuff, but not new. The Pirates got to Jones, Freeman, Kaufman and Stueland for 22 hits, winning 14 to 3. The much oppressed Reds took another one in the nape of the neck, Young Gillespie being easy for the Cardinals. Hornsby was not credited with a single time at bat,, passes and sacrifice hits being liberal. Another well pitched game, this time by Waited Hoyt. allowed the Yankees to turn the Senators back for the fourth time in succession, 3 to 0. A great throw by Fewster, doubling Judge at the plate, prevented the Senators from scoring In the first Inning. The Tigers won another game from the Cleveland Indians, shoving the latter more firmly into second place. The Indians out-hit the home club but Oldham relieved Tillette and put on the thumb screws when Cleveland threatened in the ninth. Ty Cobb is still running his club from the bench.
