voted almost entirely to creating: a

representative football team at Ham

mond high school, F. Ewing Wilson,

school coach, BtlU baa time to cast mental feelers Into the future lookingto the winter activities of his

embryo athlete.

"Some of the thing's we want to do

out here In the way of athletics are yet too immature to discuss in detail. But after the football season one of the first sports that will get the attention of the athletic directors is that of basketball. We are going: to organize at least one (and possibly more) basketball team in each class. We are then going to establish an inter-class league and following an elimination tournament pick from the various teams a varsity squad that we hope will lick everything in the state," said Mr. Wilson. The inter-class games will be held before the regular basketball season opens so that when Hammond high begins to meet competing teams of other cities a seasoned varsity team will take the floor. Basketball, long one of the most popular sports at the high school, will be made a major attraction this year. This plan contemplates training a crack girls' team also.

This club is one of the fastest in the league. The Hammond team knocked down 965 pins in the first game, 884 the, second and 915 the last game, making a total of 764, which is a very good score. The lead-off man, Elmer Hall, pulled down the dollar prize for the high game with a count of 223. Next Tuesday night the Bedford Shirts bowl the Clayton Smiths on the Jackson Park alleys.

This is a pair that have put on battles in three different engagements, all of which were considered by fans as worth going miles to see. Both men are clever fighters, controlling punches of an assorted variety. Bud Taylor is better known in Indiana than his opponent, being the double contender for either the fly

TEAMS PREPARE FOR BIG SEASON

Pro football players and their followers are preparing for a big season. With the opening of the collegiate and prep grid seasons, elevens that play on the prairies and those that are more fortunate in securing inclosed grounds already have settled down to the task of reorganizing and drilling their squads. Chicago, as last year, will be represented by two big teams in the major pro football circuit. The Chicago Bears, which will be the name of the team that is made up for the greater part of the Decatur Staleys of last fall, will perform at Cub park, while on the south side Chris O'Brien will again have his Cardinal eleven of last year in the field and games will be played at Sox park. Joe Sternaman and George Halas are the organizers and backers of the Bear eleven. Halas has announced that in addition to several of the old Staley gang, Laurie Wal. quist, Illinois; Larson and Garvey, former Notre Dame men, and Lafleur of Marquette have been signed. Of the Staleys there are Halas, Trafton, Stinchcomb, Scott, Lanum, Pod Pearce, Smith, Blacklock and Bolan will be back. Halas will act as coach. The Cardinals will have an equally strong team, and the change of playing fields from Normal to Sox park is expected to increase the number of the team's followers. Un

The victory over Detroit while Washington was nosing out the St. Louis Browns yesterday gave the Yankees two end a half games edge in the flag chase over the St. Louis club. The Pittsburgh Nationals cut down on the Giants, however; by half a game, by defeating Philadelphia while McGraw's men were idle. But the Giants have to win only seven of their remaining thirteen games to clinch the championship, even if the Pirates sweep all their remaining nine contests. The Yankees are now in a rather easy position. Their victory yesterday means that if the Yankees capture only six of their remaining nine contests they will be sure of at least a tie at the end of the season, even should the Browns go through undefeated. If the St. Louis team loses only one game while the Yanks are winning seven, the final standing will be: New York . . . . . 96 58 .623 St. Louis . . . . . . 94 60 .610 If the Yanks are successful in only four of their remaining games while the Browns lose but one contest, the final standing will be: St. Louis . . . . . .94 60 .610 New York . . . . .93 61 .604

WHITE EAGLES ARE TWIN CITY CHAMPIONS

By "W. E." The impossible has happened. The Twin City "Caseys" were trimmed in true fashion Sunday at the General American ball park. It was a real game from the spectators' standpoint, rull of thrills and fast plays. The White Eagles managed to get out on top with a scant five runs to the good, the final score being 10 to 5. Cohen was very good after a rather erratic start, and the Caseys will tell you that after receiving a liberal gift of three runs in the first inning, they never had a look-in with Cohen, who seemed to be riding along as if he was in some Pullman chair. Grossnickle beat out a bunt to start off with, and Jerry Galik followed him to first after being hit by the rather wild young Ginther, who really intended to pitch a brilliant game. This was helped along by Mathis, the next man to face him. And how Ray did hit that ball! He started it on a drive toward the center fielder and it kept right on raising until the fans were well satisfied that it was well over his head. Ray pulled up for water at third and received a hearty ovation after the two runs were chalked up which his long drive made possible. However, Cohen was not going just right at the start. He walked the first two men up and hit the third man. His trouble was over after the next two men had grounded out, then as Fisher misjudged a pop-fly back of first, which would have been the third out, two Caseys crossed the plate. A single by Lott sent in another run and they had a one run lead over their "victims'' at the end of the inning. From this on the Caseys were just mere victims for Cohen, who struck out twelve men and simply jogged along with perfect ease, as his mates gathered a five run lead. The largest crowd attending a game this season turned out to see the two local teams battle for. supremacy. Much money' changed hands and the fans of the Twin Cities saw the best team win. The White Eagles not only outclassed the Caseys in pitching, but in fielding and hitting. They out-shone their opponents man for man. The fact that two fast double plays, two force cuts and every man on the White Eagle roster enjoying one

or more hits off the "boy wonder" makes the writer think the scribe for the Twin City outfit ("Mac" we mean) might want to winter at Palm Beach after the "bunk" he spread in last week's papers. The fellows that do the shouting will surely run him, ragged. Of course he didn't lose anything on the game, but he sure lost the people's confidence uh:n it comes to telling them what he knows about judging baseball players. Right here we want to say that the game was clean from start to finish and Umpire LaSage of Gary kept the game well in hand at all times and at no time was the game held up with arguments. This made a total of twenty-one games played by the White Eagles this season, winning sixteen of them, which is a record no ball team need be ashamed of and stamping them the strongest team in the county, with a team of comparatively young men who will be heard from later in baseball circles. They have met and defeated such teams as the Umpleby's of Gary early In the season when that team was in its prime. St. Michaels and Miller A. C. also of Gary, Gary street Railway, Hammond Veterans, Chicago Heights, West Hammond A. C, Hegewisch Comets, Griffith A. C, Calumet A. C, two teams hailing from Marks. Twin City K. C, and they were defeated by such teams as the Hammond Colonials, Whiting Red Crowns, North A. C. North End Comets and Hammond Vets. Now, what more could the sport loving public expect out of a, bunch of players who play ball merely for the sport and not for the money end of it, for no one on the White Eagle team has been paid with the exception of the battery. Still they were accused of playing fishy teams by their rivals. The White Eagles tried to treat all their opposition fairly all through the season and with the exception of one team, which we will not mention, we were always treated right. We found the Colonials a bunch of gentlemen and were treated royally by them, and we feel that a lot of knocking has been done to certain teams all summer long by jealous rivals simply because of their outstanding rec-ords.

eighteen jerseys and eighteen swea tshirts. And then at the end of the season he will buy eighteen heavy sweatercoats for that number of men who successfully make the team. His name will not be mentioned until he gives us permission to publish It. The club will buy eighteen headgears. And they have also ordered all the various tools with which to properly conduct a football game. They intend to be fully equipped in every department of the pastime. The snappy manner in which things are now going will find the Dodgers a rare treat to gaze upon when they line up for their opening kick of the season. Coach Pat McShane wants about three or four more heavy men to balancs his team, and then he promises to sweep everything off the field. This is an excellent chance for any fellow who likes the game to get in solid with a team that is going to draw the big money this year. Tonight the Dodgers are giving their dani;e at the M. R. Hall for the benefit of their football team. And with no other dance in the region to compete with. M. R. hall will.be about as full as it ever has been. Coach Pat McShane will draw a regular lineup Saturday from the thirty odd candidates on the list. It will be published Saturday night in The Times.

HIS THIRD BASING SATISFIES CHICAGO

BY LARRY GEORGE It appears more and more as if the East Chicago Dodgers football team is destined to be the class of the burg. Last Sunday morning Coach Pat McShane had all the candidates out at Graver's field in gridiron togs. And they sure looked like a winning gang of fellows. The forward wall especially made a prepossessing appearance with every man boasting close to six feet of brawn. The Dodgers line this year will easily scale between 160 and 170 pounds. And the backfield had its quota of six footers. Three of these performers are in that class. And they will average around 160 pounds too.

Another high class feature, of the Dodgers is their new manager, 'Dumpy' Jones, who, for years, has guided the managerial end of the Gopher club, has taken over that job this year with the Dodgers. If anybody knows more about the inside workings of running a game than does Jones, he has our respect. With Jones for a manager and with the famous Coach Pat McShane for a mentor, the Dodgers possess the highest skilled men of the region to run their eleven. And still another proof of their coming class is the news that a local business man is going to finance the outfitting of the team. He is ready to foot the bill for

BAN WANTS TO BAR ALL POP BOTTLES AT BIG LEAGUE PARKS

Time was when the beer bottle was as much a part of a ball game as the hot dog and peanuts. The former was banished from big league arenas long before Mr. Volstead was heard from and the place taken by Young Pop Bottle. Now the latter, like its late lamented brother, is threatened with the gate in big league society. At least. Ban Johnson, president of the American lague, favors this move, and announced yesterday that he would bring the matter up for discussion during the winter meetings Johnson attempted in similar move years ago, but was overruled. The revival of the bottle crusade is due to the happening in the New YorkSt. Louis game last Saturday, when Whitey Witt of the Yankees was knocked unconscious by a bottle thrown by an irate St. Louis fan.

DYER CLUB IN PROTEST

Dyer A. C. ball club last Sunday protested the victory of the Scher-

erville club which won, both on the

diamond and in the wordy battles that arose frequently during the contest. The Dyer athletes stoutly, maintain they were robbed of a victory by the inaccuracies, poor

judgment and downright partiality

of the umpire. Keilman, who avers he was declared out after racing safely home from third on a bunt on a reversal of decision by the umpire, offers the protest In the

name of the Dyer club. Some not very edifying things are said about SchererWlle A. C In the Dyer club protest to this paper. Ed. Lipinski umpired the disputed game.
