H C'S GET AN AWFUL The JIammond K. of C's were con siderably outclassed last Sunday when they went up against the strong Woodlawn Lions, who handed them an awful trimming to the tune of 16 to 0. The game was played at the White City ball park and a Rood sized crowd of . Hammond fans

JIMMING

I J accompanied the local team to the yr scene of battle to see the K. of C.

aggregation go down to defeat at the hands of a far- superior and more experienced ball club, made up of some of the best semi-pros in the city of Chicago. On next Sunday, however, the Ham mond K. of C.'a will be back In their own class when they travel over to AVhitinjj to play the team representingthe Oil City in the K. of Q Suburban League. Although a bit downhearted over the miserable show ing they made Sunday, the Hammond club will not let up one bit in their tight for the Suburban Leacue pennant and next Sunday they will be out trying harder than ever to bag another victory so as to maintain their hold on first place. Practice has been called for tonight and also Thursday evening at the Standard Steel Park and everjr-vmember f t the team without exception has been requested to be present.

E EAGLES BEAT

WEST Turning In a 9 to 6 count, the White Eagles of East Chicago easily run over the Wes Hammond A. C. and won their fourth straight game. This makes a total of six games won in eight starts. The Harbor lads started oft with the same peppery spirit that has been winning their games for them. After two were gone In the first, the heavy hitting clean-up men started laying on the offerings of West Hammond's big hurler, and combed him for four clean hits, totaling as many runs. After this the White Eagles were never In danger, adding two mora runs In the fourth, and ons In the sixth, seventh and eighth. Fat Lind had a good day. Aside from making three pretty catches In center field, the fleet young man stole three bases, clouted the apple for two clean hits and pegged a runner out at home and third, both times at critical moments. The same speed that has been In evidence in the last three games by the fast infield, showed itself again in Sunday's tilt, and the pep and manner In which these young speed demons perform on the diamond not only encourages their pitcher, but draws the attention of their opponents and hostile rooters, who time

What Leading Billiard Players of the World are Doing in This Good Old Summer Time

By AL SPINK The great billiard players are Just now scattered all over the world. Young Jake Schaefer and wife are In a well equipped auto Journeying from Chicago to the Pacific coast by easy stages. Young Schaefer's mother Is a resident of Alameda, across the bay from San Francisco In California, and Jake and his wife will summer there providing they get over the Sierra Nevada mountains in safety. Welker Cochrane and his wife are guests of a millionaire who has a magnificent home on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The challenger will remain there for half the summer and then go on to his home in San Francisco where it may happen he and Schaefer may hook up together in some sort 01 a match. They have shaken hands, ars no good friends and are. able to talk sound sense to one another. Willie Hoppe, the ex-champlon. Is In Xew York preparing for the opening of his new room there. It will be opened tn the early fall and there and then will be the big doings in the metropolitan billiard world. The ex-champion, wonderful player that he is, and Charley Peterson of St. Louis, fancy shot champion, will probably open the new Hoppe room, Peterson and otlrer wellknown billiard men beinr partners

HAMMOND

AX and again applauded to show their appreciation. The only time the White Eagles were threatened In the whole fracas was In the sixth inning when with tone gone the West Hammond outfit loaded the bases. Kowalskl hit, a hot one to Fischer, who returned It to Hedwall, forcing the runner. Hedwall immediately shot the pill to Fischer in time to nip the runner. This wound up all chances for West Hammond to catch the White Eagles. Every one on the White Eagle roster enjoyed a hit, an instance seldom seen In every-day ball games. Levin played his same bril liant game In left field, while Batchelor had an unusual day a.t short. pulling down four pop flies, one far back off third base. Gant accepted four chances cleanly, while Hedwall nicked three runners at the plate. Next Sunday the White Eagles play at home and tho Harbor baseball bugs will have a chance to see their team in action that has been holding their colors ou top In other nearby cities. The -White Eagles will line up In next Sunday's game as follows Levin If, Klempner lb, Batchelor ss, Hedwall c, Lind cf. Gant 3b, Don ahue. Fischer 2b, J. Benson, A. Ben son rf. and Edgar p. of the ex-champlon In his New York enterprise. Roger Contt, who finished fourth tn the last international 18-2 balkHne billiard tournament, is summering in the south of FYance . He does his practicing In the Olympic academy In Paris. Contl has made great progress In the game since his visit to America and he has high hopes of defeating Champion Schaefer when they meet in the nxt challengo game to be played in November at some point yet to be named. Ora Mornlngstar, who finished next to Contl in the International, will put in the summer at San Diego, Calif., and when not practicing billiards he will devote some time to painting the scenery out there. This is not said Jokingly for the .balkllner is a very handy man with the brush. When in Chicago at the last tournament he put in much of his spare time in the Art Institute. Like the late Frank Ives who could do almost anything in the sport line from baseball to billiards. Morningstar is also something of an allrounder, being a fine skater as well as a wonderful billiardist and excellent painter. Edouard Horemans. the Belgian champion at 18-2 balkline billiards. Is getting gay. Horemans Is now in Canada and the other day while in Toronto he declared that he would play Schaefer, Cochrane, Hoppe, Contl, Mornlngstar or Sutton matches at 18-1 for $500 a side. There Is no doubt that Horemans has Improved his play recently and he was a wonderful player at that even three years ago when he first arrived In this country. Today Horemans Is not only willing to play .ny of the Americans at 18-2 balkline, but he is willing to meet any man llvln at the. 18-1 game with the exception of the German champion. Erich Hagenlacher. ' George Sutton, still another of the competitors In the last international has a farm in Michigan where he is putting in some time these days and when not farming he does some playing in his Chicago room Just to keep his hand in. PIRATS SLAUGHTER NORTH SIDE A. C. Playing last and invincible ball, the Hammond Pirates made a farce out of a perfectly good baseball game by ruining the North biae A. C-, 10 to 0. The wrecking crew, consisting of Kallna, Kuschel. Sweeney and Tague, hit the opposing pitcher with svertyhing but the home plate, Yoons played an unusually steady same and socked two hits and drew a walk: besides. Blr Boy Berg, the boy Alexander, twirled a wonderful game, yeldlng only two hits, walking none and fanning eighteen men. The Iron arm pitching ace had the North Siae eating out of his hand. And believe me, they ate. If any other team doubts that the boy wonder can pitch. Just schedule a game and find out. Seeing Is believing. Schaefer, whom tha A- Cm call a pitcher, was a Joke. Half the time the ball didn't 'have enough steam to go over the plate. H. waa swatted for eleven hits, gave seven walks and to finish a pleasant afternoon fanned three times. Relnurt, Sommers and Potts played errorless and a -steady same.' Score by innings: -iratea 080 203 103 10 11 0 .Corth Side 000 000 000 0 2 7 Two-base hits: Sweeney, Kuschel. Wild pitch: Schaefer. Base on balls: J,Off Schatfer 7, Berg 8. CALUMET A- C. DEFEAT HEG-E-WISCH COMETS In a. game played under a. 'blistering not sun the Caitrrad JL. C nosed out th Hegewlach A- C on their diamond bygone score. The first four- Innings ended with a 10 to 4 leA "by the Calumet team. In the fifth, Hegewlsch counted hrna cand ropes tad the trick in the sixth, 3n to sun injured digit on the AItp wring "bsnd of Evans of the Cabrmet team. Al this time Chrenko furnished his able assistance for the- remainder of the .game. This

and the batting of the team as a whole saved the good work that was invested in tho previous inings. The Calumet team was very much satisfied with the game with the exception of the misinterpretation on three different occasions of the rules that should have been applied and which would have netted them a more decided win. Mayhoffer of the C, A. C. decidedly stood high in his work in five trips to bat. which gave him three twobase hits and two singles. Gasdic, a speedy little man, held his own with them all, traveling all over the park to get them, plus his good work at third where he stopped two that to even a critic were hits. Kronus, who played his initial game at short showed a great ability in handling the horsehide and more than showed that he is to be seen at the stated position in coming games. Benich at second and Spudic at first played their usual stellar game for which' they are note.d. The fielding is not to be criticized, due to the fifty mile per hour wind that the ball encountered when it reached a high altitude. The C. A. C. travel to Hammond next Sunday to play the North End Comets, and on the Sunday after they return to Hegewisch to participate in an afternoon of baseball with the fait K. of P. team. The C. A. C. has open dates on July 2, 4 and 9. They would like to book with some teams that like an afternoon of real good clean baseball. For games please call Mr. Benich between S and 5 at E. C. 25 or write to Manager, 4858 Alexander ave.. East Chicago.

JACK'S TRAINER TAKES COUNT IN ROWON COAST LOS ANGELES. Calif.. June 13. Teddy Hayes, trainer for Jack Dempsey. was knocked out for more than the orthodox count of ten at Venice this afternoon, according to a report from the beach city. It is said that a misunderstanding arose over the parking of Hayes' car while he and his bride of a week, Florence Lee, screen beauty, were on a honeymoon trip' to the seaside resort. A. Swan, manager of a parking station. Is alleged to have felled Hayes by striking mm on the head with a club. Mrs. Hayes gave her husband first aid. Hayes refused to seek police action. L THEY DO IN WILLS-CASE? (BT TAVIS J. WALSH) International News Service Sports Editor. XEW YORK June 13. Havlsg watched the Xew York state boxing commission do its stuff in ordering Johnny Kilbane and Johnny Wilson to defend their titles against the respective challenges of Johnny Dun dee and Harry Greb, the enterprising Paddy Mullens is about to request the commission to take similar action on behalf of Harry Wills and his challenge to Jack Dempsey. He will post a certifled check with the commission as evidence of good faith and will then sit back and await results. If the commission is at all con sistent, it will imimedlaitely demand that Dempsey accept the challenge within a specified period or have his title championship declared auto matically vacated. This was the official edict in the cases of Dundee and Kilbane and Greb e-nd Wilson, 'twit the two chal lengers referred to are pleased to claim the Caucasian race as their own, while Wills ia a brunette of darkest ray serene. Mixed bouts are neither welcomed nor allowed in Xew Tork rings, although there is no law against them. The comrission merely turns a sour eye on the proposition of black and white combat, and no promoter has yet been sufficiently foolhardy to brave official displeasure on this scevre. Tet, without a law to back it up. It is difficult to see how the com mission can Ignore a defl from Wills, when K has already gone on record as championing the cause orf Dundee and Greb, and toy so doing, 'has tactlly ranged itself behind ail boxers who challenges fall upon, a deaf ear that, champions develop with amazing facility as soon as they fall heir to a title. That Mullen proposed action will be necessary now eems assured, for it 4s evident that Dempsey has no Intention at meeting the black with any degree cf haste. Ac cording to Floyd Fitzsimmons, who might b termed the official mouth piece of the Deanpaey-Kearns enter prises, Dempsey will mwt Bill Brnnan in a ten round, no-decision affair at Michigan Caty. Ind., on Labor Day. The bout will dispose of Wills for some time to come. Another Demp-sey-Brennan bout wiM about as interesting1 as as bill of lading, and In all probability, something of & flop on the financial aid. but that is of minor Importance Just now. The thing with which Dempsey seems to fee most concerned It to avoid Wills as long mm Is fcoananly possible and the Bfennsn affair ts the little Joke that will ailow him to do it and still preserve some semblance of dignity. RED CROWS "WIN ANOTHER. BT J. W.'.Brxrr.AMMKTt WHITING. XNTU June 13 In a game featured brilliant playing and many thrills the Paramount A. C team, a semi-pro dub of Chicago, and one of the leaders In the Liberty League, bowed to the Bed Crowns by the close score of 4 to 2. Both teams played air-tight TaTI. the few errors being due to the strong wind which cut across the .field all afternoon. Dust pitched excellent "ball for the winners and had the Etttraticfn ts hand at all times as shown "by the fact that tn tho last five inning

WHAT M

only fifteen men faced him. which Is in itself a considerable achievement. Good pitching coupled with errorless ball by the outfield and the timely hitting of Bart, who banged out three safeties and scored the tying and winning runs, cinched the game for the Red Crowns. This win makes the fourth consecutive victory for the locals in five starts and as their schedule which Included some of the strongest teams in surrounding cities, wa no snap, this is Quite an accomplishment for this local aggregation of stars.

PATTSY ROCCO HIS CLASS BT LARRY GEORGE Pattsy Rocco, Tim O'Xeil's rising welterweight, will again display his class 'Thursday night, June loth, at the Summer Gardens of West Hammond. He will exchange compliments with Luke county's next best offering in the 142 pound school, Frank Hiplock, of Hammond. Pattsy is now in the prime condition that a month of white heat training will produce. He was pretty close to perfection last Friday night at Szabo Hall when he knocked out the tough Charley Trembley, of Roseland, In the fifth session of a scheduled ten round battle. And he claims that he has maintained that perfection for this fight. Hiplock goes into the ring highly recommended by his admirers. A few of his more Imaginative followers circulated the yarn that Hammond was wagering 2 to 1 against the possibility of Pattsy remaining in the ring with Frank after the fourth. This story reached East Chicago the other night and there immediately followed a grand rush for Ham mond not by speculators or gamblers looking for a set-up but by investors of even the more conservative type. However, their efforts yielded only their carfare and the trouble of going oven There were no bets to be found. After sizing up an armload of opinions gathered from both sides of Columbia avenue, the recapitulation favors an early round knockout. And the popular verdict points a threatening finger at Hiplock. Tet, the ups and downs of the game may make sport of common belief. Both boys sock hard enough to put a heavyweight away. And It may be Frank's good fortune to grV his In before Pattsy does. Whichever way fate or the devil has filled the dopepot, one thing may go down for certain: That Hiplock will face In Rocco one of the toughest and classiest customers In his class today. Old. experienced heads have made this assertion; and noth ing gauges truer than age and ex perience. OUR FIGHT DECISIONS Decisions of boxing representatives are: At Pittsburgh Brlcky Ryan beat Al Corbett' (lO). At Jersey City Johnny Shugrue beat Gene Delmont (12). At Milwaukee Tommy O'Brien beat Johnny Mendelsohn, foul (4); Joey Sanger beat Saph McKenna (6); Tony Lukes and Jack O'Toole, no contest (6).At Columbus. O. K. O. Mars beat K. O. Jeakle (12). At -Memphis Al (Tarran) Monro knocked out Thil Salvadore (13); Joe Cook knocked out Charley Romano (2); Bennle Harvey beat Tom Haney (6); Kid Campo beat Frankle Smith (4). SOUTH SIDE STARS TOO MUCH FOR SOUTH SIDE GIANTS In one of the best games of the season the South Side Stars walloped the South Side- Giants by the score of 9 to 7. It was a game full of fight, but in the end the S. S. S. turned out to be the ones to beef, going away victorious. H. Heiser, the old one-handed cyclone went into the box at the beginning and had it planted In his mind that they were going to win, and did so, by helping to play a sure good game. In fact ' the whole team played good, only making four errors and showed great form in the batters box, by smashing out nine clean hits of which one of these waa a nice home run, sent out by Ein with two men on base. Xow it is about time to mention the real star of the game and that Is "Buck" Jonas, the snappy left fielder who ran like a deer after a ball, which seemed Impossible to catch, and stretching out one hand. saved a home run from being chalk ed up for the South Sid. Giants. Another one should also be men tioned and that is Wm. Koch, who used the same .style Jonas did by running after a foul fly. Of course, this also seemed Impossible, but it was done. As soon as the ball was hit out shot Koch and then stretchIns out his one hand down came the ball and bounced in the air again, but Koch finally got It and that finished that batter. Of course this would not amounted to as much as Jonas did as be saved a horn, run and if he'd have left it go it probably would have lost the game as Koch's would only meant on. strike for the batter. The whole team played a wonderful game. It looked pretty bad In the ninth Inning when the Giants started a rally, tout fell short oa runs and thus ending the game, and the best of all la that the Stars took home the bacon.
