SPORTING

VETS MEET Hammond baseball fans will see two service teams in action at Harrison Park on Sunday, when the American Legion nine plays the strong Veteins of Foreign Wars aggregation. Both teams have been playing wonderful ball, and one of the best games of the season will be staged when both teams take the field Sunday. The Legion nine have showed that the' really have a good ball club, and will be out to win Sunday, however the Vets have a great ball team and at this writing there isn't any one who really knows how the contest will end. Manager Tommy Tague will order his .team out for two nights practice, so as to get his "men into great shape for Sunday's scrap, ap.alnst the team who defeated the Hammond K. C. aggregation by a score of 10 to 7. Manager McClure is planning to use "Windy" Hilton, the tall right hander. against the Legion. If this big boy is in form, the Legion boys will have to fight like demons to put over a victory, as Hilton possesses a good curve and has great speed. Sammie Creasbaum the star East Side boy. will be on the mound for the Legion team. Should the boy feel right, he will no doubt gain- a verdict over the Vets. The teams are expecting to uss their regular lineup for Sunday's game, which promises to be one of the best games of the season. Managers Tague and McClure have decided to have a regular ball game at the park for that day, and have secured an umpire from out "of "town to handle the contest. Arrangements are being made to handle the largest crowd of the season, as there are no ball games in Hammond that date except the one which will be held at Harrison Tark. Both organizations are cornpored of the best talent available in Hammond, and the game will be a nick and tuck affair from start to the finish. Capt. North, of the Vets has ordered his men out every night this week to prepare themselves for the Sunday battle, and with both organizations having their respective rooters present,, it will be a great basketball aay for Hammond. Fans from all parts of the city will be present to watch the two service teams in action. The game Sunday will be the last one for the Legion nine at the home park until the Fourth of July, so fans desiring to see the aggregation play can do so by. coming out to Harrison Park on Sunday, and extend their support for both veteran teams.

riaying a bang-up game, the White Eagles of Indiana Harbor, trimmed the best team in Hegewisch, 10 to 7 Sunday at the fast diamond in Hegewisch's beautiful park. Hegewisch fans had the pleasure of seeing one of the fastest infields in Lake county in action. The Harbor lads started off the second inning with a single by J. Benson, and followed it up with a mighty three base wallop by Andy Benson, scoring! Johnny. Two more healthy one-ply swats netted 3 runs, a nice start. The only error of the game came I when Krolak. of Hegewisch, rolled an easy one between first and second. Both Klempner and Donahue tried to field the ball, leaving the sack uncovered. The next man up singled to center. The third Hegewisch batter hit a hard line drive to Batchelor playnig deep short, who made a dive into the air,, pulling down the pill with th gloved hand, he immediately shot the ball to second, forcing the runner who was long gone to third. This fast double play encouraged Edgar, and he struck the next man out. In the third Hegewisch rallied and scored 3 runs on 3 hits and a passed batter. In the fifth, Edgar again got himself in the hole by passing the first man up, and another clean single by Collins, but after the next fanned, the fourth hit. a lively ground The North Side A. C. accomplished a day's work Sunday. Ten wallops, totalling fourteen bases, combined with five bases on balls, and six errors manufactured thirteen runs. Things looked bad for the North Siders when Burnham scored one run in the first, while the North Siders did not accomplish anything Burnham grabbed off another in the second, but at the conclusion of the third inning the score stood ties 2 to 2. After this Cole pitched a steady game for the victors, but in the ninth he eased up and allowed three hits which produced two runs. The North Siders won the game in the fourth when eight men crossed the counting stattion. O'REEL STARTS IT. After one cut, O'Reel walked. L. Gratwick the next batter struck out and it seemed as if the inning was over for the North Siders. However. Hagerman weakened and passed Lute. Then Clarke cracked one on the nose for a double sending O'Reel and Lute home. Cole then tore off a one base 'blow advancing Clark to third, who scored when Smith fumbled Badowski's grounder. Cole took third on the p'.ay. MacMurray also hit to Smith who again fumbled, allowing Cole to score. Badowski then stole third and a short while later stole home. J. Gratwick hit a single which advanced Mac to third. Jablonski batting for the second time In this inning, socked a triple to center, which scored Mac and J. Gratwick. O'Reel hit a pop fly to Lowe, the second baseman, who muffed it, allowing Jablonski to score. L. Gratwick singled but 'Lute concluded the in ning by striking out.

NATIONALS HI er to- second. Another fast double play Donahue to Batchelor to Klempner retired Hegewisch at bat. Nice support for Edgar. The White Eagles scored three more runs in the sixth on clean hits by Gant, Lovin and Hedwall. Cant, fiery third baseman of the White ; Eagles, accepted five chances with out an error, as did Batchelor, the hard hitting shortstop. More hits in the otghth by Hedwall and KJempr ner gave the White Eagles four more runs. In Jim Lovin, the White Eagles have a fiy chaser worth going out to see. He performs in left field', and does it well. Bob Hedwall Is the pepper of the infield, and throws 'em out in great style. Three fast double plays, two force-outs at third, and some pretty catches by the gardi eners was more than Hegewisch could stand up under, and possibly few teams in Lake county can boast of as many fast infield plays in last Sunday's games. Gant lead the hitting wUh four clean hits, while Lovin, Hedwall and Batchelor each came through with three apiece. The White Eagles lineup was as follows: Lovin, If; Klempner, 1st; Batchelor, ss; Hedwall, e; Lind, cf; Gant, 3rd; Fischer, Donahue, 2nd; J. Benson, A. Eenson, rf. and Edgar and Lind, pitchers. of the day. The hit that Clark made twas also a mighty wallop, and could of been stretched into a triple, but Clark being a heavyweight was satisfied with a double. Although Clark is not much of a runner, due to his avoirdupois, he sure is some catcher. Badowski, the North Side speed demon, lived up to his name by stealing four bases. COI.E BIRLS WELL Cole pitched a steady game allowing nine scattered hits and striking out twelve men. His control was nearly perfect, as he walked only one man . He also did some good w.k with the stick, getting two hi? in four attempts.. Th Burnham A. C. in order to win the game secured Hagerman who has pitched for the Logan Squares of Chicago. However, when the North Siders have their eyes on the ball, as last Sunday, they are a mighty hard bunch to beat.

In at-H taming his home run record of 59 last season Babe also mounted to a high notch in another column of the averages. He fanned 31 times. This mark was exceeded only by Babe's fellow fiy chaser. Bob Meusel. -ww was a strikeout victim on 88 occasions. This tan be explained by the fact that Ruth, and Meusel as well, are real swingers who take all or nothing. So far thli season Babe has kept up his 1921 pace for strikeouts, but as for making home runs, that's something else again. . BLOOMINGTON.

On next Sunday the Hammond K. of C.s will play one of their blggvsc games of tne season at the White City ball rark, where they will stack up against the Woadlawn Lions, reputed to be one of the best semi-pro cluba in the city of Chicago. The Lions are captained by Dutch Heilman, who plays left field and bats in the cleanup position. Hyman will be remembered by local fans as a member of Paul Parduhn's Hammond club back in the old days. Another Lion player well known in semi-pro circles is "Smoke" Larson, the pitcher, who is considered one of the best hurlers in the semi-pro ranks. To show the class of the outfit that Hammond will battle against Sunday It might be mentioned that at present the Woodlawn Lions are in first place in the Chicago League, a top notch organization composed of such strong clubs as the White Giants. Murleys. Chicago Firemen. Kagens, Dodger Trainings, "Belle Plalnes, Dellwoods, Justin Bros, and Auburn Parks. The Hammond team however, is not one bit daziled by the wonderful early season record of the Woodlawns and while the local club is not considered in the same class with this fast aggregation, still they feel that they have more man a fighting chance and if the fans will turn out in good numbers and lnd their support it is possible that they may urge the Hammond team on to victory In spite or tne prevailing odds against the local team. if the Hammond K. of C.s can go up there and make a favorable im pression it will not be tne nrsi time that an amateur ball team made a first class semi-pro club hustle to win.

TENDLER KAYOS BARRETT IN SIXTH ROUND AT PH1LLY PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. June r. -Lewr Tendler, challenger of Benny Leonard, knocked out Bobby Barrett Clifton Heights. Pa., in the sixth ro-und of a scheduled eight round fuss at the Phils baseball park last night. More than 20,000 fight fans say the finish of the hard hitting but inexperienced Barrett. The punch which wen the fight was a low left swing to the pit of the stomach, and this (brought forth the claim from Barrett's seconds that it was below the foul line. The club physician who examined Barrett said there was no evidence of a foul blow and Referee Taylor then disallowed the claim. In order to keep the crowd out of the ring, where Barrett was being given a hasty medical examination, a cordon of police was thrown all around the prostrate boxer. After the polfce had re-stored order, Barrett was assisted to his dressing room. He was not badly hurt. RED CROWNS WIN OVERST. CYRILS (BT J. BIN HAMMER) WHITING, Ind., June 7. In a hotly contested game the Red Crowns defeated the St. Cyrils team by the score of 9 to 2. The one-sided score by no means indicates a loejsely played game as It wag very interesting from the spectator's viewpoint. The St. Cyrils came prepared win, overlooking nothing as evidenced by the fact that they imported Morgan from East Chicago to hurl for them. None of these things held any terror from the Red Crowns as they lambasted Morgan's offerings from the first Inning, gathering about fourteen clean hits, while on the other hand. Scbults pitching .for the Red Crowns, was in -his best for allowing only five hits three feeing of the scratch variety, and with some good support held the St Cyri" to two runs although he was never in danger. The Red Crowns have at last hit their stride and with good pitching it will take a mighty powerful ball team to defeat them. By eliminating the Whiting KT. of C's. and St. Cyrils, the Red Crowns are hereby acknowledged to be the foremost team of Whiting. Next Sunday. JMne 11th, the Paramount A. C, a fast semi-pro team, Is booked as the attraction at the Forsyth field. HENNING PITCHES A GOOD GAME VALPARAISO, June 7.

QUESTION OF REF REE SETTLED

E. BT LARRY GEORGE. In what proved to be a master shot of killing two birds with one stone is the latest wrinkle In the development of MacAvoy's boxing show next Thursday night, June '8, 1922, at Szabo hail. The question of a referee a good referee was still to be answered last Sunday. Possit'ole candidates were considered, some with approval, and others with disapproval. Finally the selection thinned down to one man Jeff Bowers. Then the big q-uestion arose as to whether Jeff wo-uld accept the position or not. Mac determined to know. He promptly set out for his man's front parlor. Jeff was home entertaining a guest when MacAvoy came upon the scene. Mac looked first at Jeff and then at the guest. The second look was fruitful, it brought Mac's beaming amile Into play. "Hullo, Jeff! Hullo Rhed" he ch-uckled as he energetically rubbed his hands together. "How are yuh. fine?" Both Jeff and Rhed answered In the affirmative as they . blankly gazed at their Impromptu visitor. After Mac had sat his portly self down he began his little speech. How would Jeff like to referee his fight? And wouldn't Rhed accept the timekeeper's Job. Now you see, he enlarged, his fight was going LEONARD PLANS STRICT TRAINING FOR KANSAS GO NEW YORK. June 6. Bennie Leon ard, lightweight champion of thej wona, will lane no tnanto wuu Rocky Kansas in their coming bout for the title at Michigan City, July 4th. The champion will put in a full month of training for the formidable Rocky. With his mother, sister, and a staff of trainers Leonard has gone to the mountains. His preparations for the coming bout will ibe made entirely out of doors. Leonard has marked Kansas up as one of the toughest of the lightweight contenders. Because of his contest with Kansas In Madison Square Garden here last winter, Leonard will get himself Into first class shape. Kansas' defeat of Lew Tendler in the same ring some months ago has caused the champion to respect keenly Rocky's punches. ATHLETICS WIN FROM GARY VALPARAISO. June 7.

over big. and he needed some ibig men to help him, etc., etc., and some more etc's. " Well, the afternoon ended In a manner that sent MacAvoy away with his smile' still registering. He originally went after a first class referee and came away with him and also an experienced timekeeper. Jeff Bowers carries quite a reputation in the refereeing profession. In addition to this, he is .-s popular a third man as a promoter could desire. Fan like him and therein lies his success. A small thing like a timekeeper in the opinion of many people seems too trlval to rave about. Tet, remember what a storm that Job kicked up in the Jack Dempsey-Jess Wlllard championship fight of several year back. In the heat of the' excitement the man at the watch slipped over a couple of additional seconds, and those few econds put him an the promoters on the pan for months. Rhed has been an official timekeeper for several big boxing clubs during the last ten years. The (biggest Job he handled was the timekeeper's end of last year championship fights at the East Chicago fight arena. Tes, well may Mac smile! He Is sitting pretty In his boat while it Is smoothly sailing through rough waters, guided by able and experienced hands. Valpo boys. W. Peters did the twirling for Valpo and struck out 13 men.
