JOE BURKE BEATS MM IN BOUT

AKRON. O., April 26. Bob Martin, mentioned as a possible eontender for a bout with Jack Dempsey for the worlds heavyweight title, took a beating in ten rounds here last night at the hands of Joe Burke of Cleveland. Burke, it was said here, is only a newcomer in professional heavyweight ranks. Martin won hardly a "und except the seventh, in which he dropped Burke for a count of nine with a right cross after he had landed three left hooks. Burke's left jab cut Martin face badly, and caused a loss of blood which weakened him as the fight went on.

tSPECIAL TO THE T1HESJ LOWELL, April 26.

After the second inning things went the other way. Lowell pounding the ball and scoring at will, while Griffith nevur got near the home plate again except to bat. Minningcr, the big right hander, drew the pitching assignment for Lowell. He got away to a poor start by bcanlng one and walking

And now, with, the opening of Spring, there seem to be quite a number of "New and Special tires" coming into the market in the $10.90 price range. Perhaps you are wondering just what there can be either "new" or "special" about these tires. It can't be the $10.90 price "Usco" established that five months ago.

E. C. DODGERS CRAWL OUT FROM HIBERNATION

By LARRT GEORGE The East Chicago Dodgers have crawled from hibernation. Winter's apathy has been shaken off for spring's regeneration.-

In other words more American. I the East Chicago Dodgers will have j

a baseball team tnis season. This and much more was learned from the iamous coach, Pat McShane. athletic director of the club, in an interview he granted the writer In the Dodgers' beautiful club room, lie goes on to say: "While the present standing of the club's treasury will not justify a very large program in the baseball field, nevertheless, it is large enough to upport fair team in a fair way. "Our recent expenditure of over a thousand dollars for tlubroom purposes has eaten up our availably funds. Consequently, it shall be necessary for us to canvass the merchants of East Chicago in an endeavor .to raise the necessary amount of money with which to outfit a good team. "We have already entered a crack nine in the Junior Amateur League of ..orthern Indiana. This will take care of all our boys below eighteen. We expect to finish high in the percentages of that league. "However, our higher aspirations run to organize a first class indeoendent team of older ball players. We have many men!n this classlflation, and I am certain that we ran put a ball team on the field which will give everything In the region a run for thffr stakes." Well said. Pat. well said. The writer, during the interview in the new clubrooms situated at 4720 Olcott ave., was surprised at t-he immensity of the place. They are quartered on the ground floor of a brick building in a store measuring 30x100 feet. The most surprising thing of the place was the beautiful new fixtures. Two pool tables, a floor and wall show case, and a laree Ice box Immediately caught the eye in their shining newness. Another look revealed four walnut - card tables, dozens of bent wood chairs, and a beautiful large Vlctrola. Many stationary seats Invited your comfort from all parts of the room.

COCHRAN DESERVES NEXT CRACK AT SCHAEFFER

By AL SPINK. There was no trouble at all In coming to an understanding be tween Toung Jake Shaefcr an! Welker Cochran, respectively the champion and challenger for the next match at 18.2 baikline billiards for the world's championship. The games will take place In Ovehcwtra Hall, Chicago, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday niins. M:iy 16. 17 and IS. Quickly nnl without waste of words the two great bllliardlsts agteed that the game should be of 1,600 points, 500 points a night. Orchestra Hall, where this match is to be staged, has been the scene of many sensational billiard matches. It was In this hall that the first and famous Jake Schaefer won

his championship before the present ! champion was born. Much has been said about Young Schaefer's won- j derful playing but his rise has been no more sensatsonal than that of Welker Cochran. In the last year

the latter has made a marvelous record in long match games in which such masters of the cue as Schaefer, Horemans and Morningstar have faced him. Although now a resident of San Francisco, where his wife lives in a little bunsralow on Telegraph Hill overlooking the Golden Gate, Cochran spent many of his best years in Chicago. He was graduated from Lane Tech in Chicago in his seventeenth year and immediately following his graduation he set but meeting the best players in the world and Holding his own with the greatest of them. He and Young Schaefer are not only matched in great skill but they are also of an age, each being now In his twenty-sixth year. Schaefer was born in Chicago and Cochran In Mannon, Iowa. Beside the championship honors which go with the title the champion now ?ares pretty nearly as well as the great pugilist who takes part in a worlds championship match, or the great baseball player who wins a share in a world's championship gate. In his last match with Hoppe, Toung Schaefer not only won the title but received J3.100 from the gate receipts, to say nothing of other emoluments In the shape of diamond medals and silver trophies and the prestige, honor, and ether advantages which go with the winning of the championship,
