WHAT ABOUT E. CHICAGO FIGHTS THIS SUMMER?
What mlgnt be done by promoters of big fights in opening up the East Chicago fight arena this summer is yet to be heard. The announcement came last month that everything was in readiness and that matches were In progress of negotiation to be arranged for this month. However, the assignments were never completed and the fight officials who have no local obstacles in their way to stage fights, are believed to have halted all plans and awaiting outside developments. The restless attention of flcht fans
and the commonwealth of the region is being directed to Michigan City, where a million dollar arena is oeIng constructed by Fitzsimmons, who recently vacated Benton Harbor, Mich,, for a suitable site tn Indiana. There, within a short distance of Chicago, her suburbs and the Calumet region, a structure riv. aling any arena for seating capacity, is being erected. ' The East Chicago promoters have worked out their best bet by canceling all Ight arrangements to watch the outcome of their Michigan City competitor with the date law.
VEST HAMMOND
BOXING
SHOW
Al Swirtz, promoter and good sportsman, last night at the Summer Gardens, West Hammond, put over his first boxing show of the season. It was a success. More than 500 fans, thrilled to the smack of the gloves, watched one man take the count for a knock-out, and rose from their seats time after time during a spectacular fight between Patsy Rocco of East Chicago and Frank Hiplock that left the latter clinging desperately to the ropes but still game, at the end of the eighth round. In a preliminary of three rounds Battling Shipwreck, a well groomed young pug, representing the Maroon A. C. of West Hammond, clashed with Zerne of Great Lakes, and with a double cross to the face at ute end of three rectlc rounds sent Zerne crashing to the floor. Zerne took the count. The flght was scheduled to go six rounds. Shipwreck showed fine form. The fans want him to show again. Young Leonard won easily over Kewpie Trimble in six rounds, Rocco and Hiplock staged the main bout of the evening. The first round was all Hiplock's. He started like a whil-wind and led all through with fierce lefts. In the second. Patsy found himself and Hiplock. And Hiplock found the floor. He got up though and during the third, fourth and fifth rounds put up a wonderful flht. The sixth and seventh rounds found Hiplock figtitlnff to stay on his feet. At the end of the eighth he was clinging to the ropes. Morrie Champaln refereed.
TAYLOR FLOORS SGHAEFFER AND WINS HANDILY
INDIANAPOLIS. IND., June 16 Bud Taylor, of Terre Haute, won all the way in his ten round bout with
Hcrbie Schaeffer, of Chicago, at. the
ball park here last night. Schaeffer was dropped for the count of eight in the second round after a vicious
right to tho jaw. Taylor used a
straight left with effectiveness and had the better of the infighting. Taylor had the better of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, and tenth rounds. The third and eighth were even, while ' the sixth was won by Schaeffer. It was a fast scrap throughout and both boys were cheered as tney left the ring.
HE HAS A SUGGESTION
Editor Times: Many of the old time Morris Park baseball fans are wondering why the manager of the Colonials don't use Morris Park as in the past when it
was only a vacant lot? Now that the comfort station has been installed, a dressing room has been provided and many new benches offer support to the old and feeble we hear that baseball games at Morris Park are a losing proposition. Let us suggest that this reputed manager schedule a few games with real ball teams' who can furnish enough opposition to make the game Interesting and we can assure him that he will receive the proper financial support. Do not be misled. Mr. Manager, the opposition you have chosen for Sunday's game or any other team in its class will never make baseball a paying proposition at Morris Park. A I'.VN

TRMU.S. CHEMICALS
Gibson. Indiana. June 16, 1922. In a twilight game at the West Hammond Ball Park, the United Boiler team decisively trimmed the United Chemical outfit. The Boilermakers nicked Ullrick's offerings for twenty blows while Price was keeping ' twelve knocks fairly well scattered. Doolln and Price were the hitting stars; the former getting three hits out c four trips to the platter, one of them a four-ply swat, wthllo the twirler helped his own cause along with five blngles out of as many trips up. It was a cleanly . played game aside from the actions of the Chemical company's catdher whose only excuse for being on the team seems to be his ability as a "rough house" performer. The United Boiler plays the Straube Piano Company a practice game, Saturday afternoon at - the same grounds. The Score: CHEMICAL AB R H E Sanders, ss 6 0 1 2 Erlewlne, 2nd '... 6 0 2 1
