TREMBLY BLEEDING, IS KICKED 01)1

Savage Ring Battle Takes Place In Szaho Hall East Chicago

BY LARRY GEORGE In the fifth round of a vicious, hell-snorting fight, and amid the tumultuous roaring of a frantically goading crowd, the manager of Charley Trembley mercifully, if not dramatically tossed in the sponge to the center of the ring as a sign of defeat to Puttsy Rocco, at Szabo Hall in East Chicago. Bleeding from mouth and eye. and blindly staggering around the ring. Trembly looked like a wonderful soldier on the fleld of battle. Only his splendid nerve propped him up. Trembley was in reality knocked out in the third when Rocco socked a wicked right to his (Trembley's) jaw. He shook his head two or three times and then made a wild grab for the caTm Xtocco. A few second's clinch was sufficient to clear the cowwebs from his muddled brain. The fourth round found Rocco all steamed up. He let loose for a few minutes and socked the -weakening Trembley with everything except the ring post and the water bucket. It was a mystery how Trembley remained standing on his feet. The gong sent him to his corner as sick a pug as ever stepped into a number eight boxing shoe. When he came out of his corner for the fifth, it was plainly evident .that he could not stay up much longer. Staggering all over himself he was an easy target for the unmerciful Wop. After a few preliminary blows that drew plenty of rich claret, Pattsy shot his Mary Ann home to Trembley's star gazer. It was all off then, but the shouting so the sponge was wisely tossed In. This makes a fiat dozen knockouts or Pattsy's belt. And the kid is nly eighteen! He sure has a great future before him. The six-round seml-wlndup between Kewpie Trimble, also of Tim's stable, and Johnny Unger. of th fullman A. C was a close, fell fought argument. Kewpie easily gained a hade over Johnny because of his jnrelcnting aggressiveness and harder wallops. Joe Bishop, of South Chicago, stopped Joey Raban, of Hammond, In the first round of their six-round battle. Bishop was plainly the mastar of his opponent. The four round curtain-raiser was all that it was cut out to be. Jeff Blake and Jack Duffy, the 100-pound marvels of East Chicago, furnished the crowd with plenty of excitement. They began with a rush at the tap of the first round and did not quit until the end of the fourth. The cash customers were well pleased with the card. Many expressed the hope that MacAvoy would arrange another one of like caliber. Do not forget "the "like, Mae!

JACKSON SUES COMISKEY FOR $19,000 BACK PAH

MILWAUKEE, "Wis, Juno 8. Joe Jackson, former outfielder, yesterday instituted s'lit through his attorneys for $19,000 in back pay against the Chicago American League baseball club. Jud?re John J. Gregory signed an order in connection with the filing of the suit, directing Charles A. Comiskey and Louis, his son, officials of the club, to show cause why they should not appear here and submit to a discovery statute examination. The order was served on the Comiskey's nttorneys, and is returnable Saturday morning. Jackson, one of the ball players ousted as a result of the White Sox scandal, is now conducting a poolroom at Atlanta. His suit Is similar in purpose to that recently filed by Oscar Felsch of Milwaukee. The same attornjys represent Jackson, and the filing- of tho suit at this time has the double prrpose of collecting the hack pay and of accomplishing, through a discovery statute, what the attorneys failed to do in the Telsch suit.

LIONS ARE

SCHEDULED FOR

K.C.

SUNDAY

The Hammond K. of C.s have been burning- up the Standard Steel Car Co. baseball diamond with several hot practice sessions for the past week, while getting in shape for next Sunday's big game with the Woodlawn I.lons which will be played at the White City ball park. Although the local team is outclassed on paper, thoy are going: into Sunday's game with all the'ep and confidence that they can possibly muster together and when the Hammond club steps on the field they will be chock full of fight, with their heads up, prepared to put up a scrappy battle. The Hammond players realize that they are going up against a pretty stiff proposition when they tackle a fast going semipro outfit !:ke the Woodlawns. but at the same time they feel that if they can go in there and play a good careful game of ball with plenty of snp to it that they may stand a chance. Followers of the club know t!!at the team is capable of playing far better ball than they have shown to date thi! season, and it is for this reason that several of the fans are willing to wager their dough and they are, grabbing up some of the 5 to 3 odds being offered by the Woodlawn backers. There is no question but what the Woodlawns have a regular ball club as their lineup embraces such wellknown stars In the semi-pro ranks as Swanson. first baseman, formerly with the Magnets: Chuck Larson, pitcher; Wade, catcher; '"Dutch" Hellman and Franke, outfielders, and Harris. Bird and Jacobsen, iflelders. This is quite an array'of classy ball tossers and they will undoubtedly make Hammond step all the way. , The Hammond aggregation, however, is not fo slouchy with Tommy Harle behind the bat, Eddie Murphy on first. Buddy McLaughlin at second, Jim McShane on short. Frank Chandler on third, Danny Boyle in left. Sugar Handy In center. Eddie Flynn in right and either Jim Dalton or Larry Hilbrich on the mound. With every one of these men out for practice during the past week it has helped their team play considerably and next Sunday should see the result In the way of a real ball game. For the Information of fans who wish to accompany the team to White City, they can either catch a bus or street car at the corner of State and Hohman and this will take you directly to the ball park at Sixty-third and South Park. Tomorrow night's Times will have the correct batting order of both teams as they will appear in Sunday's game.

BATTLE

RIOKENBACHER REACHES CHICAQO

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO. June 9. Capt, Eddie Rlckenbaeker. American flying ace during the World war, landed at Checkerboard field today on the second leg of his 15,000 mile pioneer airplane trip.

The game next Sunday between the Hammond American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which is scheduled for Harrison Park, Is causing great talk among baseball followers of this city. After glimpsing over both aggregations one cannot pick the winner at this time. It will be one of those hard fought games which fans would travel for miles to see. and as both teams have a great following, one of the largest crowds Is expected to witness the contest when the teams take the field for action. The Veterans to date have a record of six wins out of eight games played. The same hold for the Legion nine, who have annexed five out of their seven games. ns around the local city believe that the Vets have a more polished team than the Legion, due to their win over the K. C. aggregation last Decoration Day. This, however, does not always go, as teams look better on paper than on the baseball diamond. . Both teams are In great trim for the coming contest, as the boys have been practicing every evening s'o as to prepare themselves for the coming contest. Manager McClure will use his same lineup with the exception of a new third baseman and probably a new twirler. which ue has secured for ths Sunday tilt. Rhode, star third baseman on the Griffith club, will hold down the far corner for the Vets. The boy from Griffith is known throughout Lake county as one of the keenest players on the diamond. The lad has played with some fast company, and was a member of the General American organization when Grover Bachley was twirling for that team. At the present writing It is not known who the man will be to face the Leg'.on nine Sunday. With this change Manager McClure expects to strengthen his lineup at least forty percent. The rest of the lineup will remain the same with Myers on first. McCarthy on tne keystone second. Capt. North will hold down the short-stop position, while the star Rohde will take his place at the third baso station. For the outfield McClure has some real talent in Moll, the slugging demon who last year starred for the C. O F. aggregation. Callahan will be seen in left field, he was also one of the players who made the C. O. F. team, champions of Lake county. The center field will probably be assigned to Windy Hilton, who is a dangerous man at the plate. King will do the receiving for the Vets. With this veteran catcher the Vets possess a wonderful lineup. Manager Tague will use the following players for Sunday's tilt: Green, the tall man, will hold down the initial sack. The boy is known for his long distance hitting and Is also considered the best first sacker in Lake county. Shelton or Jabo will take care of the keystone sack. Manager Tag'.ie has signed Jabo and will probably use him -In the infield. Uhbanski will hold down the shortstopposition, while Chayken 'will take care of the far corner. Smith, H. Tague and Tommy Tague will compose the outer garden. This trio is a great bunch of fly chasers and

also dangerous at the plate. Skinny Hudson will take care of the receiving end. while Creasbaum will step on the rubber for the Legion when the umpire yells "Play ball." If the boy is tight he will be hard to beat. Fans from all over the city are expected to attend the coming game to see who really has the best ball club in Hammond. The game at Harrison Park is the only contest booked for Hammond, as all other teams are scheduled for out of town.
