Jim Palton was on the mound for :he local club arfd he certainly was In splendid form, letting tho vlsitsra down " with three hits, two of hich w.ere of the scratch variety. The only real blow made by the Oil

?ity crowd was a double to left by rineen in the sixth inning:, but after Retting two m?n on with one ftut in this round Dalton tightened ip and retired the next two batters with case. Whiting's only other rhance to ccDre was in the third, vhn Dvorshak dropped a Texas ;(ar,uer in center field good for one aase and McXamara followed with i dinky roller down the third base 3ne that refused to roll foul. This put men on first and second with i"ne down, but Dalton showed his :!ass by striking out two of the apt three batters and making the '.bird die on an " easy roller to D Tiourke at second base. Dalton R orked iwell throughout the game, petting eisrht strikeouts and also sis control was exceptionally good ts he did not pass a single mani Kisehhardt, pitching for Whiting as easy picking for the Hammond nitSt, who f cemed to have their hltclothes on for the day. The risiting moundsman was greeted K-ith, an array of base bits right off .he reel as Hammond scored four tns on as many blows in the very lrst inning. After O'Rourke went ut. pitcher to first, Danny Boyle itarted oft the fireworks with a ilean single over third base. Eddie ilurphy followed suit and Sugar Tandy worked the pitcher for a ass. filling the bases with one lown. Tommy Harle then cracked i safety to left and two runs were icored. Jimmy JlcShane sacrificed 3andy and Harle ahead and Chander scored both men with another :lean single to left. Kddie Flxnn Inally ended the round with a rollir to the third baseman. Hammond did not score again mt;l the sixth, when they went on mother rampage and put over seven uns on an equal number of base it's, mixed in with several errors md three stolen bases. Frenderrast. who went in at second base io start the sixth, opened up the nassacre with a clean single -to eft and Chandler followed with a lafety to right. Dillon, who had elieved Eddie Flynn in right field, ttruck out, but Jim Dalton, next ip. hit one down at the shortstop, vho threw past second base trying lor a double play, letting Prenderrast score and Chandler move to Jiird base.

Considering the unfavorable

weather, a much larger crowd turned out than was expected and although Whiting played rather ragged ball In spots, most everybody seemed perfectly contented to stay and watch the game right through

to the finish. In fact, it was a

good game except for Whiting's two

bad innings, as the visitors put up

a fine article of ball in all but the first and sixth rounds, which proved disastrous.

By LARKS UEORG.U The Kajt Chicago Dodger's smoker of last Saturday night was a scream of a success. The, show purred through its four hour run, hitting on all six. It was the perfect consummation of an idea that ha.s been germinating for the last month. Only one sad incident marred the sparkling entertainment of the evening, one of the hcadliner bouts had to be pulled. Captain Tim O'Jseil of the East Chicago police force decreed it so. And lor this cause: That Jeff Bowers, popular ring referee, had refused to train down for John Kiligrew, our next county clerk. Both were at the ringside ready to go, but the long arm of law after measuring Jeffs prosperous waistline discriminated against it. It was with sad and eloquent apologies that Mike "Teeker" Keenan, announcer and toastmaster ex-

gtraordinary, announced this fact. 0 Talking about Keenan, this boy

sure slung one wicked silver tongue that night. His brilliant metaphors and appropriate smiles were pulled off with a nicety that few slingers of oration ever acquire. And his witty epigrams kept the crowd in keen enjoyment. The show started with a musical program by the Dodger orchestra. Then Russ Learman and Jimmy Monahan stepped Into the roped arena for a three round mauling match. Jeff Bowers, referee, offered a draw for a decision. Scotty McXelsh, the John McCormlck of East Chicago, as Keenan cleverly introduced him, then did Justice to this compliment with two beautifully sung folk song3. His wonderful voice was loudly applauded. Then Fred Brown, an apt pupil of South Chicago's Jack O'Keefe, and William Wayne, made their appearance. They exchanged a fierce 3 rounds worth of milling for a snappy draw. More applause. A few selections by the orchestra put the spectators in a pleasant mood for the next bout. Comlcky Quinlan had somewhat the better of George Gross in .this mix-up.

Both drew the claret from each oth-

er'e smelling apparatus, but Quinlan

had the more class.

Wilson and West then went through a beautiful three minute

session of tickling lavishing Hawai

ian music from a couple of guitars,

After this the ring was cleared

again. Spider Blake and Jock Dut

fy highly skipped into view with tiny six ounce gloves on their dukes

They each tipped the beam at

hundred pounds avoirdupois. And their bout was so fast and so furious that it sounded like a ringful of battlers doing a battle royal in

double quick time. They merited i well earned draw. Some more music, from the or chestra.

Then the real treat of the show

occurred. Tatsy Rocco, East Chicago premier pugilist, and coming master of Tom Gibbons, displayed his class

and his bliie silk tights, in a siz

zling four' round exhibition with

cr for Butt's title. Despite the

DIAMOND A. C. VICTORIOUS The Diamond A. C.s defeated the Liooney District nine in a one-sided twilight game by the score of 28 to 1. Manager Buck used all four pitchers and then went in the box himself to brinsr his team to a victory. After eight batters faced him and not any got less than a twobagger. Manager Buck threw up the snpnge, did Captain Stahura, and came to the conclusion that all they needed was a new outfit of players. Buck says "I know my place Is on the bench." Tubby Krupas' intentions were to loose weight, rut not a game by such a score. Kozlowskl. who Is a twilight star, knocked a homer, which accounts for the Looney District's one run. Players looking for a try-out, report at Kosculsko park and ask for Foot and Half, assistant manager of Looney District. y

Babe Ruth makes a big hit with baseball fans but not any bigger than the hit our 20 WEEKS TO PAY plan is making with wage earners and when you drop in to get those new summer clothes you have been waiting for, it is a safe bet that our easy payment plan will make a hit with you.

TAGGING ALL THE BASES By JACK VEIOOC L N. S. Sports Editor

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE Alexander laiied wnere icss vellknown members of the Chicago Cubs' pitching staff have succeeded in beating the world's champion Giants. A tenth inning rally, in which Meusel hit a double and Shlnners came through with a single gave the Giants a 6 to 4 victory. For the second consecutive Sunday the Brooklyn Dodgers won a game, defeating the Cincinnati Reds 6 to 5. Between the two victories they had dropped six games. Cleveland's rally in the eighth and ninth innings, after Mogridge held them scoreless for seven innings, fell one run short of victory and the Indians loss to the Washington Nationals 4 to 3. Speaker used three pitchers. The Detroit Tigers continued their assault on the league-leading Yankees, assaulting no less a personage than Carl Mays for 12 hits and eight runs in winning an 8 to 2 victory. I-teilman led the attack with three hits, one a double. The largest Sunday Tolo grounds crowd of the year watched the game 35,000.

'!The appearance of Eattling Nelson, former lightweight champion, drew a big hand. He had his trick boxing dummy with him and hs demonstrated a few punches for the spectators. A flock of 'shines' then put on a roughhouse with the dummy and drew plenty cf laughs. Stewart Donnelly sparred with Nelson and the crowd was kept in an uproar. Both Stew and the Battler swung so herd they became unbalanced and flopped on the canvas, Donnelly nearly cracking the boards when he hit the floor."
