S Champs of Suburban League Beat American Legion Outfit The Hammond K. of C.s, last year's champions of the K. of C. Suburban League, easily, won their first frame of the season on Sunday afternoon when they traveled down to Lowell and romped home with a 7 to 1 victory over the strong American Legion outfit. Although this game was only considered a practice affair, the big crowd of fans that turned out were not disappointed by the showing of the Hammond team in the field, as every man on the K. of C. club handled himself like he was in rnidseason form. Only one error was chalked up against the visiting team, while the home club was considerably off color, being charged with eight errors. The hitting was about even. Lowell getting six bingles as compared to seven safe wallops for Hammond. Only one blow was pood for extra bases and this was a two-bagger by Jensen, the Lowell shortstop This hit followed a single by Klug in the last half of the sixth and it made possilbe the most sparkling play of the entire afternoon. The ball was hit over Dillon's head in center field and Klub, who was on first at the time of the long rap, started to r g it around the bases, beaded for the plate. Jimmy Dillon got his hands on the ball as Klung was rounding third and by a swell long throw to Prendergast the ball was relayed to Harle just in the nick of time to catch Klug sliding in home. This play caused considerable excitement among the home guards as it snuffed out Lowell's best attempt at a rally. This was the only inning outside of the fifth when Lowell scored their only run, that the home team looked the least bit dangerous, as big Jim Dalton had the Legion crowd eating out of his hand most of the way. Manager Heimbach had a hard time trying to make his pitching selection for the opening game as both Dalton and Hilbrich warmed up in fine fashion and after looking his two hurlers over carefully he was perfectly satisfied that either one was prepared to go the entire route, so he put it up to them to decide by the toss of a coin and as it fell in Jim's favor the assignment fell to the big bdy, who soon convinced the Lowell aggregation, reputed as some sluggers, that he was fit as a fiddle. Jim served up his southpaw slant in midseason form and if yesterday's performance is any indication of what he will do this summer it looks like the portside heaver will be out for a big year. "Larry" Hilbrich, the sterling right hander, who won many a stift battle for the championship club last season, will get his first chance to show what shape he is in for the coming campaign, on next Sunday. when the Hammond club will travel to Kouts. Ind., for a game with the Kouts city team. Last year Hilbrich was a little slow starting, but it was thought this was due mostly to the cold weather as Larry seems to go best after the mercury climbs upward in the thermometer. . Full particulars relative to the time that fans and players will leave for Kouts on nsxt Sunday will appear in either Thursday or Friday night's issue of the Times.

LOWELL

SPORT Sand-Lot Baseball BRIEFS

LOWELL HIGH DEFEATS EAST CHICAGO By C. RIGG The Lowell High sluggers traveled to East Chicago April 28th and handed them a sad defeat 6 to 5. The first man up for Lowell nailed the circular horsehide for a twobagger and was followed by three more loyal teammates and. two men reached home safely. Nothing happened in the second, but In the third Lowell again scored two runs and East Chicago pulled the same trick. Lowell threatened to score again in the fourth, but East Chicago was up and at 'em. In the fifth each team sent in one man for a counter, making the score 5 to 3 for Lowell. Lowell succeeded in getting two hits in the sixth, but were unable to put a man across. This somewhat aggravated our star twirler and East Chicago's first three men up fanned the air. However, our victory seemed rather doubtful in the seventh when we scored only one man, while in the last half East Chicago scored two runs before the first down and had two men left on bases, but no one else reached the plate and the game ended 6 to 5. Strike outs: Love (Lolwell) 7, Ginther (E. C.) 4. Hits: Hayden 1, Cyarke 1. Love 1. Henry 1. Tripp C (Lowell); Stancovich 1 (E. C.) HAMMOND JUNIOR WIN ANOTHER The Hammond Juinors won their fourth consective game by defeating the Praire A. C. of Chicago. The score was 13 to 9. T. and L Kelavos starred for the visitors, while Nelson played a good game at third. The other players worth mentioning were Lachy the pitcher and Clark the second baseman. The Juniors only collected six hits but made most of their runs on errors. Bereolos got two of the six hits. Snops was unable to hold the Prairie bunch but good support saved the day. The Juniors went without an error. The game was played as a preliminary for the Forester-Hartwell game. The Chicago boys made a last inning rally but if fell short.

PIRATES STAGE SLrGFEST AGAIXST C031ETS "With Berg the Great pitching in mid-season form, the Hammond Pirates crushed the N. S. Comets in their opening game. 12 to 0. Berg gave but two hits and not a man got on base by the pans route. The veteran moundsman hurled such an assortment that tha -Comets were unable to take their pick. "Twin Six" Kallna was the batting sensation, garnering a sizzling three-bagger and two singles. Not satisfied with this he made a balloon ascension in the fifth to stab one of those "impossible" liners. Buddy Slaven, the diminutive short stop also wielded a big stick, slapping out a two-bagger and a single. Kuschel, Martens, Young and Lacombe got one sock apiece. But though Berg was very stingy with handing out hits, the buccaneers drove three North Side pitchers to the showers. They all broke the altitude record. The fllding was errorless. A liner almost knocked "Battling" Kuschel over the ropes, but he stabbed It and threw the runner out Reinert played his usual steady game on the field and nabbed a few sure hits. Manager Harder la satisfied with their showing for the first game of the season. What will they do when they warm up? For next Sunday a game Is pending with the S. A-'C. of Gary, who played the Veterans of Foreign "Wars. . The score: N. S. Comets ...000 000 000 0 2 4 Pirates 814 013 OOx 12 9 0 Two-base hits: Kuschel, Slaven, Three-base hit: Kallna.

Cutler, Leary, Williams and Crammer were the heavy batsmen for the Buffaloe.s, each collected three runs. ITUZE FIGHTS AND PRUDERY Ineffectual efforts are said to have been mail by members of the local post American Legion to win endorsement and permission of city officials to stage a benefit boxing show in Hammond. Michigan City has done It. So has Rensselaer. East Chicago will do It this summer. Gary has done it. But iutimond The moral censors of the sanctimonious city hall say boxing must not be. They frown upon the idea. It is well to bring this to the attention of ring fans on this, an election day. Association Is a great aid to memory. SOCKING SOCCER Not much success Is being met with by officials of the S. O. A. A. of Whiting in their praiseworthy efforts to introduce soccer to the sports lovers of the district. Sparse crowds attended the games at Forsyth field. It wat rather disheartening to note that a week ago Sunday when two crack Chicago teams cavorted about the field at Five Points the crowd began to edge away before the game was more than half over. Perhaps one of the disadvantages to advancement of the sport in these parts Is that fans don't know what It's all about. The S. O. A. A. should furnish A-B-C primers with every game. COMETS STRIKE PLANET The N. E. Comets flashed across the baseball horizon Sunday and ran full tilt Into a solid aggregation of baseball players that took all the fire out of the Comets and made them drop from the heavens of their own exalted opinion like a burned cinder. This planetary nemesis is tho Diamond Junior Club. They've got quite a bunch of players, mates, qu'.te a bunch. Of course, the Comets will come back. But looking at the score of the game Sun

day (which fharity foibids printing here) it may be that fans had better take a telescope to the next Comet game to find the north side stars. The Diamond A. C wants games with the Scat Ramblers, the liartwell Colts and others. Call East Chicago 3j7J, ask for Pranske.

COLTS BREAK CORRAL Mr. Red Wiening's Colts are a tireless stable of sandlot stars. They eat up their diamond enemies. Take this example of zeal and enterprise and endurance: Sunday the Colts had a game scheduled with the Outlaws. The latter team failed to show up. The Colts claim the game forfeit and won by themselves, 9 to 0, Then they hustled around, lined up the Clover A. C, took them over to West Hammond and licked them there to 'the tune of S-2. This In five innings. And are the Colts popular? Well, they're booked solid, as they say on the kerosene circuit. Saturday they play Cutler's Buffaloes at Morris Park. Sunday they meet a team from Burnham at the Wentworth ball grounds, Wst Hammond. RECORD OF OIK VISITORS NEXT SUNDAY The Gary Amerlc.-U! Legion base ball team, which is scheduled to play the Hammond Legion at Harrison Tark .Sunday, romped away with a game from the Miller nine in Gapy last Sunday, 9 to 2. Bill Ryan was on the mound for Gary and allowed but five hits. The vets won the contest in the first inning by scoring six runs on four hits, three bases on balls and two errors. Left Fielder Elser featured with several spectacular catches. Watts, star second sacker for tho Gary Legion, wielded his customary willow, rapping out three hits, two of them doubles. DYER LOSES TO CHICAGO HEIGHTS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES! DTER, IND., May 2 The Dyer Junior baseball team played the Swohoda team from Chicago Heights and lyer lost by the score of 10 to 4. Being the first game of the season, the Dyer boys showed great form, and If they only keep the old pep up they will show the home folks some real baseball in a' few weeks. The Chicago Heights team averaged about 20 years of age when Dyer, only juniors, averaged about IS years. Come out you rooters and help the boys win next Sunday. Next Sunday May 7th, Crown Point will be out to Dyer and we promise to play real base ball. Keilson pitched a wonderful game of ball. Hartman, the famous catcher from Dyer, made three nice steals in one inning. He got safe on first and stole second on the pitcher's arm, and went to third on a pitched ball, and the catcher fell asleep and Hartman stole home some pep, mid-season form. The best hit of the day was made by R. Austgen, which was a three bagger. Any teams wishing to play the Dyer Juniors write Ralph Austgen, Dyer, Ind., or phone Dyer 12-J. Dyer Juniors average 14 to 17 years.

ON SUNDAY

Mayors of Hammond And Gary Expected to Pitch First Balls Sunday, May 7. is to be a banner day in Hammond. The local American Leftion baseball team will meet the redoubtable Gary American Legion nine in a contest that promises to be one of the most important of the Legion season. Mayor Brown, of Hammond, will bo on hand to lend zest to America's greatest sport while it is probable that Mayor John fcon, of Gary, will toot his horn loud and boistrous when the two Legion clubs meet at Harrison park. Although the Gary Legioneers have already played three Sunday games with good results. The lo cals have been limbering up under the cool weather with a few satisfied practice games, in which the Hammond vets have shown real ability both at the stick and in the field. Sunday's fracas will no doubt satisfy Hammond fans who will be out In full force rooting for what promises to be Hammond's best bet this season. The sentiment in Hammond is for a winning team. Post Athletic Offi cer Chayken will try to meet the local fans demands, knowing at the same time that thee aro no better boosters in the entire county than there are in Hammond, and Lake county in general. The Hammond Legion has gotten together a veteran aggregation of ball players. Over twenty aro trying out for the regular squad, and this number will be reduced to tTrteen when the locals face the Gary crew. Over in Gary the hundreds of world war veterans are going dappy over the game to bo played here. Special cars are to be chartered to bring the visitors to Hammond and it is estimated that over 200 will make the trip. The one big drawback Hammond has had for several years is Hie lack of a real ball park, where one could enjoy a game sitting down, but with the new Turner Field sodn to be completed local fandom can rest assured that they will have a real park, a regular ball club, which the Legion Intends to put out, and an honest-to-goodness salaried team which will endeavor to earn their money and the fans respect. Tonight the Legion players are going to meet Al. Skwirtz's Boosters at the West Hammond ball park in a twilight contest that will show the probable lineup for Sunday's big game. HE'S UNDERSTUDY TO CUBS' MANAGER '4 J. I.' f. t : i-iowtiy" Hartnett. When Bill Killefer finds the lob of managing and catchinpr toe his Cubs a bit too arduous hell probably send this younjfster behind the bat to sub for him. Killefer hoptJ to develop a good understudy at Catalina Island this spring and believes he has succeeded with Hart nett. LANSING, ILL., .May 2 The Lansing publlo school ball team traveled Wednesday to Matteson and filled the second date of their schedule. Because of tho nature of the Matteson grounds, the diamond is slightly distorted. This and the cold, raw wind caused our hoys to make a poor start. In the first inning the Matteson boys chalked up six runs, while Lansing managed to get only one. In the second inning Matteson pulled down three more, and Lansing one, making a score of nine to two In favor ot Matteson. By this time, however, the Lansing boys had got warmed up and familiar 5th the grounds. During the next three innings the Lansing team held the Matteson team without any runs and raised their own total to fourteen. The final score was fourteen to nine in favor of Lansing. Last week the Lansing team defeated the Whittier team, 5 to 0. Next Wednesday we hope to defeat Chicago Heights as decisively. This game, and the game with the Lowell team of Harvey the following week will be played at Lansing. Tise last game, with Wentworth school, will be played at West Hammond.

D. O'KEEFE KENOSHA, WIS., May 2 -A great fighter licked a good fighter In ten rounds here last night. We have reference to Dave Shade, as a great lighter, and Dennis O'Keefe, as a good fighter. O'Keefe was all but in at the finish. He was knocked down just before the bell in the tenth round with a right hand punch on the chin. Dennis was too game to take a count. He bounced right up, but was in deep punch water the rest of the rohnds. SHADE A ORE AT TIGHTER. . Shade ia one of the best fighters we have seen in years?! He has everything. Far be it from us to insinuate, but Shade could have won further than he did. However, when a man wins, he wins, and a man who has to make a living punching has to protect hla hands. Dave reminded us of Kenny Leonard. He knows how to bob his head out of danger, how to rut like light m rv k ' W lt.i.nn . ) Facts the Now Told
