LEGION TEAM PRACTICES 111

TU. Hammond American Lefrion ta ball team will hav. to play In tip-top form In order to come out on top in th corning fracaa with the Sterling Lgion nine at Sterling on Sunday. The locals arc groin? up yf;agalnt on of the fattest clubs In ; V Illinois and should the Harr.mond Ley gioa men win out they will rank with the bent In Lake County. The Sterling crew has played 13 games this season and have come out victors twelve times, a record that any ball club can feel Justly proud of. Fam around Sterling think that their ball team la unbeatable. This in mainly due to the fact that one Mike Prendergaat la the star twirler for the Sucker town nlna. PrenderKant. be U remembered, pitched for

the Chicago Federals several years back and also won a barm storming came in which Mike and our Tete lienning booked up In a pitcher's duel which Prendersrast won, S to 4, when two of his mates connected with Kenning-;' hot slants for a pair of homers with men on the bags. KealUlcg- that Sterling will be sitting pretty for Sunday's contest, the Hammond players are practicing daily and will be out to avenge the defeat handed Hammond when the local town was In Its base ball prime with a dandy club and a real honest to goodness ball park, only to lose cut when the local base ball promotorn became as crookod as the one-a-rtay bootlegger on the four corners. "Who will start on the mound for the ex-service p!ayer3 Is a mystery. Creasbaum and Zolla have been going great of late and It will be no easy task to choose the right dinger for th biggest game on the Hammond schedule. Creasbaum last week shut out the Bell Telephone Company with a few lilts while his own clan gathered four runs. Zolla, who 13 setting a fast pace did wonderful work in his last two Ftarta and it would not be surprising to see

the midget hurler start the contest Manager Tague and Tost Athletic Officer Chayken have booked come hard games ahead. Following the Sterling mixup the Legion will travel

IAS A MORAL

ATTACHED TO IT

.j Largest Individual Cigar factory in the World. .'l

By LARRY GEORGE This game of sand-lot baseball Is a huge show-case filled with various rings. Before It stands the whole of baseball fandom. Countless of the rings lie la one compartment. They are cheap, gaudy, pop-bottle affairs. They are generally bought by youngsters who believe they are receiving value purchased. In an adjoining compartment are spread other rings. These are of greater value, yet they are considered cheap so far as good Jewelry goes. They attract the purse of the youth who has outgrown the cheaper stones. The third division gratifies the desires of the elite. This compartment contains all that money can buy. Before Its glittering splendor stand the grand dames and sires of the game selecting the most expensive adornments. The next Sabbath day at their weekly fetes they display their purchases with a gratifying pride. Ah! Here is Mrs. Hammond, Her fingers shine resplendently with jewelry. And her hands make frequent trips to her hair so that all may see and envy her fortune. Oh. look at that brilliant stone on the second flngar of her left hand! Isn't It beautiful! In answer to the guestlon of an inquisitive maid, she complacently calls it "The Colonial." "But see," she adds so that all may hear, "here Is another expensive ring. It is my "American Legion.' And this Is my 'Veterans of Foreign "Wars.' Everybody admires them so. don't you know." "Hmh!" Biurmeri little Mrs. Lowell, "Just because her sparklers shine more than mine is no cause for her to become swelled up about it. My 'American Legion' is as good as any of hers if not better." "Yes." chirps In flapper Miss Griffith, "my 'Griffith A. CV Is every bit as expensive as hers is even though hers shine more than mine, so there!" "Well. I den't know," oillly drawls Mrs. Whiting. "I have never matchmy 'St. Cyrils' or my 'Red Crowns' against her prides, but I'll wager that they will not suffer any when they are compared." "Is that so!" pouts petit Mlsa Gary. "Just 'look at my 'American Legion' and my 'Gary Gray Sox' and my 'St. Michaels' and all my other ones. Nobody ever admires them because I can't keep them clean. But, honest, they are real good! See bow pretty they look when I remove the sand from their base." And thus the conversation lightly travels. Everyone displays their bedecked fingers except pretty Miss East Chicago. Fortune has not smiled at her, and her cheap stones are modestly left at home. Only the glint of one stone catches the eye. And this is seldom seen be

cause she demurely keeps her hands folded in her lap. ( But. hold! Who is that tall, well groomed gentleman coming through the crowd? See how the women try to attract his attention with their treasures. He nods approvingly to his questioners. Every now and then someone corners him, but not for long. He appears Impatient For whom is he seeking? Ah! now he sees her. He smiles. It must be s very wealthy person that he thus favors. What! Well, can you beat that! He walks rignt up to where Miss East Chicago is and sits down beside her. Everyone eagerly draws around the pair. "My name is Connoisseur, madam," he politely Introduces himself, "and I have searched for you to see your dull Jewel. Kindly permit me to look at It." Miss East Chicago timidly hands It to him. He eagerly seizes it and then holds it up to tho TTght Now he turns it around in his fingers. An approving smile begins to flicker around the corners of his mouth. He clears his throat to speak. "Madam, you have the makings of a wonderful Jewel there. A little more grinding and polishing will transform it Into a gem of priceless value. What do you call It?" " 'Diamond A. C..' sit." " 'Diamond A. C What a pretty name and so appropriate. Wen, listen, have a grinder grind this corner off," and he pointed to a rough spot, "and then tell him to smooth the other one down to a proportionate size. Then have him give it a thorough polishing. After he has finished with it, you will not recognize your ugly duckling in the beautiful swan he will return to you." Miss East Chicago thanked him and then quickly departed with a new light shining in her eyes. If any one had followed her they would not have been surprised to see her walk into a Jewelers. However, If they had had patience enough to wait for her to come out. then they certainly would have been surprised with her unladylike glee. She gaily kkipped down the thoroughfare rapturously gazing at a brilliant stone on her ring finger. Moral: Do not cackle about your Jewels, Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. Lowell, Miss Griffith, Mrs. Whiting and Miss Gary until you have had an opportunity to gaze at the new "Diamond A. C." of Miss East Chicago.

VETS PLAY CHESTERTON

DIAMONDS

Jack Dempsey and Brother Leave the Coast for New York OAKLAND. Calif.. June 22. Jack Dempsey, accompanied by his brother, John, left yesterday for New York. The champion will go straight through without any stopovers, he said.

WIN GAME AT GRAVER PARK

The Diamond A. C. baseball team of East Chicago broke the winning streak of the Chicago Heights Lincoln A. C. at the Graver Park, East Chicago, Sunday afternoon, June 18, in the presence of two thousand enthusiastic fans, by defeating the Illinois team to the tune of 9 to 7. The Lincolns went Into the combat with a record of having won the six previous games played, and had but three errors charged against them. In the early stages of the game one could see that the Diamonds were the superior artists, yet the Lincolns showed flashes of skill and Judgment that made It apparent that they might be the victors. The Diamonds' claim to superiority was Justified by the playing of such boys as Frank Thomas, Joe Krupa, and others who play ball In much the same earnestness that a lion pursues his dinner. Mike Keenan, the air-tight first baseman, played perfect toall for the Diamonds and furthor demonstrated that there are very few such players. "Alr-tlght" applies only to Mike's ball playing, for he Is farfamed as "the kid who kids the kidder." The game was one of the best ever seen In Bast Chicago, It was Just what every ball game should be. The boys of the visiting team, although playing a losing game, distinguished themselves as perfect gentlemen and good sports, and they left the grounds with the admiration and applause of the home tesm and all the spectators.

ON SUNDAY

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of Hammond will travel to Chesterton Sunday to meet the strong Chesterton A. C. It will be remembered that In the last game with these teams, the Vets defeated the Chesterton club by a score of 9 to 5. A close game Is expected for Sunday, as the Chesterton outfit has made several additions to their lineup and are bent on defeating the home boys. For the information of the Vets fans, wll lsay that the reports circulated regarding the disbanding of the Vet 'club is erroneous. Last Sunday's game with the Umplebya was cancelled by the Gary outfit on account of their Inability to secure Gleason Park. The Vets are in good shape for Sunday's game ana stand ready to give their loyal supporters who1 may accompany them to Chesterton a very interesting time. All members of the Vets team are requested to be at Harrison Park for practice tonight an dalso to be at Sommers Recreation Parlors Friday night for the meeting. The management of the club has been greatly strengthened with the addition of A. Zeller, who last year handled the C. O. F. and made their year a huge success. Mr. Zeller will take up the position of manager with Mac McClure and B. Ebert assisting. Great faith is placed in the new manager and with the assistants the Vets are assured of taking on some real work in the future. Anyone wishing to communicate with Mr. Zeller can do so by writing to 86 Russell st, or phoning him at 1127W. A bus will leave from Sommers Recreation Parlors for Chesterton Sunday at 12:00 noon. All fans are , invited to accompany the team. The 1 fare will be small and the game is believed will be an Interesting one. ,

"COMMISH" GIVES ! WILSON TIME TO MATCH HIMSELF j

NEW YORK. June 22. If a match is made between Johnny Wilson and Harry Greb without much more delay, the New Tork boxing commission may be "lenient" with Wilson, whose title as world's middleweight champion was declared forfeited In New Tork state Tuesday. Harry Eurchell, secretary of the commission, made this statement yesterday, adding that while Wilson's title Is vacant so far as this state Is concerned, there are mitigating circumstances since negotiations for a bout with Greb were under way when the time limit expired.
