LEAGUE TO MEETTONIGHT

By McKAY

The Hammond Twilight Baseball ue will meet at th Court House tonight a.t 8 P. M. In all probability this will be the final meeting- before the - opening of the league schedule, May 15.

ly Since the organization of the

Bankers, Times and Policemen have seen fit to withdraw, feeling iu. they were unable to compete against teams of greater pitching strength. "While they are no doubt justified 1n this withdrawal, it is quite obvious that to restrict the stronger club in the use of their talent would be to greatly cheapen and lower the type of ball played throughout the schedule. Suppose the pitchers enrolled In the teams eligible lists who have played Sunuay base uail were barred from participating in Twilight League games. Such a vestriction would have the same effect in this local league as a rule barring "Waiter Johnson. Faber aid other such stars would have in the American league. At this date the following teams have deposited the sum of fifteen dollars and are ready to carry out a schedule: Bonus A. C. Illinois Car Co., Simplex Plant, Illinois Bell Telephone Co., United Boiler, Heating and Foundry Co.. and the United Chemical & Organic Products Co. These teams will play one game a week, the i;ames to start not later than 6 P. M. on a Hammond or "West Hammond field. Should any ttam desire to play a Saturday afternoon game, there is nothing in the league by-laws or no overwork in their regular schedule which would prevent it. Balls are to be furn.sned for each game by the home team, making it necessary for each team to be prepared to furnish two and ene-half dozen bells for the entire season. The league wlU pay the umpires. "Why the Northern Indiana Gas &

K Electric Co., "W. B. Conkey Co., . S.

Bets Co.. "Wanner Malleable Iron Co., and other such organizations aro not represented In this league is hard to understand. An organization led by Frank O'Rourke an 3 John Millett certainly gives more promise of being successful than any previous one. There is absolutely no reason why this league should not open the week beginning May 14th v,-ith a dozen or more teams competing. Get your representatives down to that meeting at the court house. May 4th! See that he brings fifteen dollars to deposit to be returned if you carry out your schedule, and let him hear the report of the men raising money with which to pay umpires and be prepared to assist in drawing up a schedule.

PLAN BIG

SMOKER

By LARRY GEORGE The East Chicago Dodgers are speeding at a tremendous rate on the high road of expansion. With four hundred members now on the roll, the executive board expects to handle over a hundred new ones this month. m At least, a campaign has been launched by them to attract that many. The opening gun of the

drive will be fired Saturday inght.

May 13, at the Dodgers' large club-

rooms at 470 Olcott aye., and the crash of its roar will be heard all over the county. The shell will be a huge eighteen-inch ''Big Bertha" Smoker. Thorough preparations for the event are being carefully completed.

The most able and experienced man

in the region is at the firing station as boss of the outfit. He is Norman Burgman, Dictator of" the East Chicago chapter of the Junior Order of Moose, and successful promotor of recent Moose shows, carnivals, dances and pep meetings. ; A peep at Us heavy program fo. May 13 will satisfy the most skeptical as to the merits of the affair. A first class wrestling match be

tween two local stars will open the J

evening. This will he followed by another wrestling bout that has been looked forward to by fans for many years. Then several fast boxing matches will follow. The evening will wind up with refreshments. An orchestra will furnish music Detween bouts. And all this for fifty cents a person. Mr. Burgman says that this is no money makins scheme. He has ac-

"Le grand aut le petit tout le temps." In plain Enslish that means "Good tig man is better than good little roan every time." That is what they said when I fought Jack Dempsey. at Jersey City last summer and now it Is true of my fight with Ted (Kid) Lewis one week from tonight. 1 expect that a good deal of support will go to Lewis owing to his disadvantage in weight. But that is' human nature all the time. I know that I am as quick as Levvl3

and that I am fully as fast. Granting that his ring craft is equal to mine the whole thing resolves itself into the question: "Can he overcome the disadvantage in weight." I am confident of success. I expect to demonstrate to the sporting world that I am as fit now is I ever was, although I weigh less than formerly. I am confident that, my

showing against Lewis will demonstrate that I am capable of putting up a good fight in the event I am matched with Dempsey again. If 1 win next week I will have to fight Marcel Xilles and then probably Joe Beckett if he survives his next contest. And after that, who can say what will happen perhaps it will be Dempsey again. I am ready for him. In conclusion, if Lewis beats me, it. Is the finish.

Georges Carpentier, light heavyweight champion, who is training here for his bout with Ted Lewis on May 11, has made no plans for a bout in America, his manager, Francois Deschamps, said yesterday. The statement was prompted by reports from the United States that Carpentler was planning to defend his honors against the winner of the coming bout for the American championship between Gene Tunney and Harry Greb.

Little Milton Stock went to bat four,ttmes and didn't do anything in particular. Then he came up in the ninth and droVe homo the Cardinala' winning run Over the Reds with a single.
