Ott the occasion of their first meeting some weeks ago the Colonials emerged victorious by the score of 9 to 7, but since then the K. of C.s have taken both the Hammond Vets and the American Legion under their wing in a couple of well played contests, while Millett's crowd has succumbed to defeat at the bands of tha Lesion. So if the Knights can cop tomorrow's tilt they must still be considered as aspirants to tbe title of "City Champions." And then, too, the Hammond Vets must also be reckoned with as they hare clearly demonstrated that their ball club is made up of a high class calibre of players who compare very favorably with the best material on any club in the city. The Vets by virtue of their two clean-cut victories over the North Side A. C. and a triumph against the K. of C. a earlier in the season, have earned themselves the rlhl to battle it out with the best of them in case of a final elimination series which would really decide "who is who." The writer's suggestion would be a tournament to be arranged for Sunday, Oct. 1st. in the way of our own little "city series." Games could b played between Hammond's four leading clubs, namely the Legion, Vets, Colonials and K. of Cs. the winners of the first two events to play the final game and the victor in this final contest to fcarry off the honors and be acclaimed the "Championship Club" Of the best 'base ball city in the State of Indiana. CARP FAVORED TO BEAT SIKI IN SUNDAY GO PARIS, Sept. 23 Paris is eagerly looking forward to the CarpentierSlkl fight, for the heavyweight championship of Europe, on Sunday night not only because of Us importance as a sporting event, but because it will be the first time in three years that France's hero of the ring has fought In the capital. The betting generally favors Carpentier, a number of experts believing the battle unequal. The Senegalese fighter is undergoing training quite as intensive as that of Carpentier. Siki's objective, it is said, is to harden himself with the aim of staying in the ring through eight rounds. If he can do this, he expects to win. R O

URBAN SHOCKER.

YANKS MADE 6-5 CHOICE TO WIN IN DIG SERIES NEW YORK.

Darrell & Co., of 44 Broad street. The firm wagered for clients $6,000 to $5, 000 that the Yankees would win the series.

Blank affidavits, charging violation of the state boxing law wich prohibits prize fighting in Indiana were mailed from the attorney general's office to Earl Rowley, prosecuting attorney of LaPorte county. The suggestion went with the affidavits that Floyd " Fitzsimmons, boxing promoter of Michigan City, should be named in one of them. It was understood that Prosecutor Rowley would fill in the names of Pal Moore and Joe Lynch on the other affidavits. They fought in Michigan City on Labor day. The use of the word "mug" as a slang for face is belived to be due to an old-time habit of making drinking mugs to represent a hu man face.

DODGERS

WILL PLAY By LARRY GEORGE To the East Chicago Dodgers goes the honor of prying open the local 1922 football season. They will -appear In action tomor row afternoon, Sept. 24, against the all-powerful Pullman Rosebuds at the Fight Arena. The two teams have been drilling for the past month; consequently, they will both be ready to swing into full speed when the whistle blows. Coach Pat McShane has selected the eleven men who will start tomorrow. Among their number are some of the best amateur football players East Chicago has ever turned out. "Stitch" Ryder, who for years has been considered the best left end in the county, will be seen at that position with the Dodgers. Me is the man who greatly aided the Gophers In their championship fight last year. His old team nsate, "Pinkey" Quinn, will hop in the left tackle berth. During all the many years Quinn has been playing football, he has as yet to be curried out of a game. And that Is saying much for a man of his weight, Jimmy Blake, the spectacular, carefree star of tho Gophers, will charge 'em from the left guard point of this year's Dodgers. Although he has always been a linesman, he has supplied the fans with more thrills of daring than has any man on the Gophers. Learman, a big, powerful youth of much experience, will bend over the ball from center. He is the natural type of a football player. Coach Pat McShane has great confidence in his ability. Meade and Gorman, two husky young men of last year's Dodger championship team, will change off at right guard. Walt Piper, a Gopher veteran of many years, will attend to the right tackle Job. Walt Is probably one of the most dangerous tackles in the region. He will prove a "tower of strength" on the Dodgers' line. Swec and Duffy, two little fellows of sterling quality, are scheduled for the right end part of the line. They are both young and will bear watching. The Dodgers' backfield will probably be the fastest set of pigskin carriers of the district, with big Ed Williams, "Kinky" Quinn. Al Piper and Johnny Quasni as representatives. Williams needs no introduction to the fans. His work last year was so consistently brilliant that it was a matter of common conversation. Quinn and Piper also won their spurs during the past two seasons. And they are slated for another big year. Quasni, captain and quarterback of the team, is widely known in high school circles where he captained the East Chicago high school eleven to success from the pilot position. He is a student of the game, and has the fine points under his wing for instant use. Among the second string men are Locasio. McLaughlin, Delahan. Long and Quinlan. These fellows are Just breaking into football and may prove to be stars before the season is over. Walter Conroy. last year's star right half back for me oopners nnnear !n a Dodger Jersey soon Effort are being made to induce him to join the team. coach Pat McShane will use noth ing but the Notre Dame shift against the Rosebuds. His men have it down to a smooth working basis. And it sure is a wonderful shift when worked right. Game called at 3 p. m. at the East Chicago Fight Arena. Frank W. Thomas of Notre Dame will possibly referee. GOPHERS GET IN GREAT SHAPE The East Chicago Gophers are getting in great shape for their coming battle on October 1st. The lineup will practically be the same as last year with the exception of few men who are whirlwinds. Frankenhauser who played such a wonderful game against the Gophers in the GopherWhite Eagle game has been signed with Chicago eleven. Announcement of the team for Sunday. October 1st. will be in the Lake County Times on next Tues-day All members of the Gophers are urged to be out for practice reg ular as the teams this year ter than they were last year. Each and every football squad have college men on their teams. The Scatinas boast of three or four college players. The Pullman club boasts of seven college men, while the Chicago Manors have two or three last year college stars. The Chicago Panthers visited East Chicago last Tuesday in regards to a game. They made some very flattering offers. but they wanted the East Chicago squad to travel to Roseland. There will be practice at the City Hall park tonight between the hours of 7:30 and 8 p. m. RUMSEY DEATH BRINGS END TO POLO TOURNEY PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 23 The death of C. C. Rumsey in New York as the result of an automobile accident cast a gloom over the polo players assembled here for the international series and brought the tournament to an abrupt end by the withdrawal of the Meadowbrook team, which was to have played Easteott, the Anglo-American four. In the final match Saturday. Announcement of the withdrawal and the awarding of the cup to Easteott by default was made. RING FATALITY BASE OF SUIT OMAHA. NEB..

SCATENAS TO PLAY THE Sporting Editor Times: On October 1st the Scatena Tornado football club will open the present season against the strong Englewood Crescents. T8his team, it is remembered gave the Tornadoes one of their hardest games last year, playing a scoreless game for the first three quarters, only to lose by a 14 to 0 score in the last quarter. Mr. Ryan manager of the Crescents was "very anxious to book this game, and does not hesitate to say "he is coming for revenge. Captain Spoerner and his entire squad have been practicing faithfully in preparation for the many hard games we have in view. The team has ben materially strengthened over last year's squad, by the addition of Tim Nelson of Lombard college, all conference center of the "Little Nineteen" 1820 and 1921. Bob Martinson of Drake, all state tackle 1921, and our own "Red" Schillo, one of the greatest halves and long distant punter ever turned out of the state, alumni of H. H. S-, directed by Cearlng at quarter, the team fully expects to more than hold its own against any middleweight team of the Central West. In support of the above mentioned players the squad qoasiss -of the following men: Payne, Army: F. Sedenbecker, Illinois; W. Seidenbecker, H. H. S.; Shanks, H H. S; Worland, H. H. S.; Werne, H. H. B.; Hudson, H. H. S.; S.: C Hudson, H. H. S; Glasgow, H. H. H. S. E. Spoerner, H. H. S.; Dremstead, H. H. S.; Ketchel, Culver; Tague. St. James Military Academy; Daniels, School of Fine Arts, East Hammond; Heinke, Hessville Agricultural. The management has received many flattering offers to travel, (but is desirous of playing at home, in view of the fact that we received wonderful support last year; much depends on the outcome of our first home game, regarding our season's schedule, and it is hoped that the team will he able to give to the lovers of clean sport the same brand of football which they mo richly deserve. L. V. C. SE GOOD FIGHTS A fair sized crowd of fight fans were given a treat last evening at Al Swierts' Gardens when they witnessed Henry Leonard and Young Porkey go ten fast rounds in the main event of the evening's pro-gram. Henry Leonard, who halls from South Chicago, and Young Porkey. from Kensington, are both well known in these parts as fast, clever glove wielders and are favorites with the fans. These two boys have met before but have never shown the speed and cleverness they did last evening. Leonard scored knockdown in the first round, but Porkey was up at the count of five and fought gamely in the remain ing rounds, but could not overcome the lead piled tip by the more speedy Leonard. The first preliminary was a fourround contest between Pete Wal gast and Johnny Duffy at 118 pounds, which resulted in a draw, Both boys fought fairly well and were very tied at the finish. The second bout was between George Santey and Billy Monahan at 130 pounds This mill went the scheduled four rounds with Mona han doing all the leading and there by earning a shade. Monahan, who by the way is 17 years old, shows all the ear marks of a coming fighter. The semi-windup between Johnny Stacks and Ted Peters at 145 pounds was stopped in the sixth round owing to the injury to Stacks when he plunged through the ropes. It was give and take up to this stage of the game with Peters having the lead. The attendance as not large, but those who witnessed the show went home well satisfied that Al Swierts had kept his premises. 30 RACES AT Favorable weather Sunday will bring out tbe largest crowd ever seen at the Roby Speedway, It was confidently predicted today by Jack Leech, promoter of the automobile races, after he had visited the track to make sure that everything was In order. "The track is in ideal condition. we have the best drivers in this part of the country entered, and all we need now is the weather to make tomorrow our biggest day,' said Leach. Following the recent rains, the tracks has slowly dried to a smooth hard surface. Drivers rave tried it out and express the opinion that it will stand up under the long grind. Emll Huff was on the- course yes terday with his new car and reeled off the mile in a little short of a minute flat. He took the turns without shutting off hi smotor, but had to watch at several damp spots on the stretches. These places are practically dried up today and there will be no trace of them by tomor row. At least thirty racing cars will be at the speedway Sunday. Several drivers are coming 200 miles to partlciptae in the contests. The entry book shows about an even break between light and heavy cas. r The time trials start at 1 o'clock so that all entrants will have qual ified before 2. 30 o'clock when the races start. The program calls for a 10-mile Ford race, a 10-mlle heavy car race, a battle royal, and a 5mile consolation for men who failed to place i nthe first two.
