Defeated Whiting Knights in Suburban League On Sunday The proverbial worm has turned, as the old saying: grots, and the Twin City K. of C. team, alter losing four straight, defeated the "VYhiting Knights 9 to 7 in a championship game of the K. of C. ' Suburban League. The odds were against the local lads due to the absence of two of their best men. Flerock, captain and tfelrd baseman, could not perform owing to a sprained ankle sustained in list Sunday's game at Hammond; and Johnny, McShane was unable to appear. But even this hard luck and handicap coma not dim the fighting spirit of the Twin City boys, who were out to win and show the fans that they have a real ball club which is deserving of all the support the loyal fans can give. The game was featured by the steady twirling of Mikula, one of out local stars, who was well backed up by Pat McShane, the good old war horse of baseball. He may be down but never out and the wonderful support accor.id him by his teammates. Last, but not least, mention must be made of the consistent hitting of Galvin, who collected three hits out of five times at bat, and A. Lott. rhe'umatical old timer staging a come-back, getting three hits out of five times at bat. getting credit for nine putouts and playing third baste without an error. Duffy, Twin City's wee second sacker. played errorless ball and d!d his sh?pre of tho damage with his timely hits. Sabol, "Whiting's heavy hitting left fielder, was the leading man with the stick for the opposing Knig-hts. He hung up three hits and was hit by a pitched ball out ef five times at bat. The game itself was a thriller from start tc finish. Whiting started scoring in the first, getting one run. The Twin City boys came right back, going them one better by scoring two runs in their half of the first innin. Whiting finally eased another marker across the rubber In their second period, tying the count and making the score two-all. In the third innlg fortune seemed to favor the home boys. Eisenhart. pitching for "Whiting, who was on second base at the time, sprained an ankle when sliding into third. He was replaced by Johnny Canner, who was, easier to find than the visitor's former alabman. The fifth inning showed the locals an!n leading b ythree scores which

they bad slipped across the plate with a double, a walk, and a sacrifice fly. However, they could not hold their advantageous lead for in the sixth inning Whiting came out of their shell long enough to make three runs, tiyng up the score 5 and 5. Canner weakened considerably in the sixth inning, allowing the home boys to score four more runs, bringing their total to nine. Whiting started a rally in the seventh and ninth Innings, doing their utmost to tie the score but were unable to score more than one run In each inning, leaving the home team on the' long ond of a 9 to 7 score. Xext Sunday, Juna 18, the Twin

AURORA. ILL., June 14 Jock Malone, of St. Paul, spotted Bryan Downey, of Cleveland, a couple of rounds, in the first of which he suffered the humiliation of a knockdown, then, with vengeful exactness, handed a pasting to the Ohloan, and won off by himself In the ten round wlndup of the show held at Aurora last night The middleweights provided an attraction drawing something like 4.000 fans, who paid $11,000. according to the promoter. Thai opening stanza had hardly started, when Jock "forgot" to duck One of Bryan's righthanded shots. It landed high on the cheek bone and upset him. He didn't wait for . a count, but hopped up quickly. He stuck along nicely until the bell, but lost the round by a wld margin.

The second sesnlon added to Dow- ! ney's advantage, but Jock about this

time began to smooth out the wrinkles in his attack and the next two rounds were fairly even. A hard right hook to Bryan's left optic in the third started it on the way to an early closing. In the fifth Jock took the aggressive and jabbed and hooked so fast that, Downey was smothered. Jock earned the honors In this round and the sixth, and had both Downey's eyes nearly closed. More Malone lefts won ' the seventh, and in the eighth Jock uppercut to Bryan's nose with his right, opening a cut and bringing copious claret. At the end of this session the lights went out and for three minutes tht battle ceased while an electrician did a repairinar Job.

TO MELT LAPORTE

The Hammond American Legion baseball team will travel to La Porte. Ind, Sunday to meet the Legion of that city, who possesses one of the strongest baseball teams in the state. The LaPorte aggre

gation is composed of semi-pro bail players, and Hammond will have to play in regular form to beat tha bunch of athletes. The home hj.s been playing good ball, and should they perform as they did last Sunday they should give the LaPorte team a stiff battle. Everyone ot the Legion players are In great shape, and Manager Tague will have his men out three nights this weqk to prepare them- . selves for the Sunday tilt. The boys have found their batting eye, and ! now they will be hard to stop. With';

two of the best twirlers ready to step In on the rubber. the Legion followers predict a victory over the strong LaPorte team, which has copped nine out of eleven game3 played. LaPorte is planning a Legion Day for next Sunday and Jans from nearby cities -will travel to the eastern city to watch the teams in action. Hammond will send at -least one

hundred rooters to hoop things u for the home team. Post Athletic Director Chayken has arranged for a special tialn on the South Shore lines for Sunday, and If any Hammond fans desire to make the trip they will kindly leave their names al the Letrion club rooms at 220 K. State st. The Legion band will accompany -the team, and things will be pretty lively down at LaPorte. Local fans are still talking about last Sunday's game, in which the Legion defeated the Veterans of Foreign Wars after a struggle which lasted twelve innlnsrs. The home rooters believe that Sunday's game was one of the best witnessed in Hammond for , some time. Rumor has been spread that Callahan, playing left field foi the Vets, threw the game to the Legion v.hen he missed the fiy which Creasbaum sent to him in the twelfth inning and lost the ball game for the Vets. This is considered poor sportsmanship, as ev.jry one who witnessed the ball game will say that Callahan lost the ball in the sun, Callahan is one of the cleanest ball players ever to don a uniform in this town, and was very peeved over the statement which v. as mado By a player on his own club.
