MIDWEST FOOTBALL LEAGUE STARTS

Next Sunday all over the country will be the opening day for the Mid West Football league, of which the East Chicago Gophers are members. The Gophejs will opn at home where thoy take on the fast South Chicago Orpheums. The rivalry between South Chicago and East Chicago is almost as great as East Chi. cago and Hammond. The South Chicago Orpheums have it doped that if they can defeat the Gophers on Sunday, that they will be in demand and can bet much more money. Owing to the fact that the Gophers were last year champions ia the middleweight division, all teams are clamoring for a game. The management had a hard time at the league on Monday night. No sooner than he would get through talking to a man, there would be six or seven more clamoring for a game. The Panthers of Pullman offered the Gophers $300 and expenses to go to Pullman next Sunday, but nothing doing. The Gophers from now on will play their first game at home. The South Chicago Orpheums have one of the fastest and best teams in the league. The Orpheums had a hard time booking a game. They tried all othr teams before accepting a game with the Gophers. The other teams figured that South Chicago was too tough. With the Gophers without a game and South Chicago without a game. It meant if the two teams wanted to play on Sunday they would have to play each other. This game demonstrates to the football loving fans whether the Gophers will have a chance to cop the cup again this year. If the Gophers defeat the Orpheums it will be tough sledding for future garnets because all other teams are afraid

to play the East Chicago champs. In next Sunday's lineup there will be eleven of he best football players in this part of the country. A

great surprise will be in store

the football fans next Sunday. last year the Gophers were lightest team in their division.

stead of averaging 160 pounds, they averaged 148. Remember the1 White Eagles? Remember how big they looked, and it looked doubtful to the fans that there was any chance for the Gophers to cop. But when the boys get together and show the old spirit, the old fight, you can't keep them from victory. This season a few new players have been added owing to some of the players that were disabled last year. One of the best men in the country and one of the most sensational ends in Indiana was Billie Cleary, who broke his ankle last year and will not be seen in the lineup on account of the ankle being weak. Jay O'Connell. the minstrel wonder, will be back in his old position. O'Connell broke his arm last year. Jay says what's an arm amongst friends. Each man on the Gophers stands out individually, and when it comes to working together the Gophers are like one mon. Last night scouts of the South Chicago Orpheums were out watching the Gopher shifts and trying to learn their signals. There will be practice every night this week, and Captain Darrow sure makes them work. Bobbie Darrow has been named the best quarterback in this neck of the woods. Coach Graves, better known as Attorney Graves, is giving up much of his own time to try and help the

Gophers win another championship this season. The game will tako place at the fight arena at 2:30 sharp. A MidWest official will officiate. The opening game will be a real galla day. Bring out your megaphones and let's make the first game as good as the last game. The Goodfellowship Club of East Chicago have already purchased a block of 100 tickets for the opening game. The boys will all march into the park in double file, singing some of their new Gopher songs. They will delight the crowd with their new Rah Rah Rahs. Their cheer leader is somewhat of an athlete and he will entertain the crowd with his fiery motions. This year will see one of the biggest football seasons in history. One great thing for the game is the presence of more of the fairer sex at the games. That is a good indication that the game is going over big. It is up to the spectators or fans to make or break a team. If you are out there, give the boys a rousing welcome, and make, all the noise you know how. It inspires the boys with more pep and gives them more courage, and it is do or die. The East Chicago fans always have been there when it comes to cheering the boys, and it was from this cheering that the Gophers came out on top. So come out next Sunday and "holler your heads off." "Shorty" Long" will be out with the Gophers. Shorty is eet of foot and can travel like the wind. Ed Williams, who last Sunday played with the Dodgers, will appear in a Gopher outfit. Lester Jones, a new candidate for the Gophers. Shorty is fleet of foot for the Purdue university, will be in the lineup.

EAST CHICAGO CLUB

BOY

REORGANIZE

The call was sent cut for all exclub men who were members of the Club Boys of East Chicago. Last year this organization had a membership of several hundred and due to bad times the club drifted and drifted with all the members be-

coming lax in their dues. The offi

cers of the organization visited most of the ex-members and persuaded them to come back. The ex-members will be permitted to come back to the organization without paying back dues. At a rousing meeting last night the club went on record as the Club Boys Republican Club. New officers were elected for the coming year. James Bradford was elected president: Michael Oswego, vice-pres ldent, and Mac Pollack, secretary. It is the aim of the organization to do all In their power to help better the Twin Cities. The club will be a social as well as a political club. During the summer a baseball team will be out on the field. A basketball team will be out this season. James Bradford, the president-elect made a little talk and promised he would do his utmost in making the organization one of the best and most popular in the county. Michael Oswego, well known athlete and vice-president of the Club Boys Republican club will not only be an officer, but will be a great asset to the club. In the near future Oswego plans upon staging a boxing contest. and in this way will raise funds for the club. A meeting will be held next Thursday evening at the home of James Bradford.

CADILLAC A.C. SPANK DYER A.C.15 TO 9

(BY GEORGE) Pitching near perfect ball all the way, Pete Comiski led the Cadillac A. C to a 15 to 9 victory over the Dyer A. C. one of the best teams, in Dyer, Sunday, at the Dyer ball park.

The youthful speed merchant allowed but 11 hits. Pete's display of pitching wares was the outstanding feature of one of the best and fastest games shown in Dyer this season. He heaved rings around Kielman star flinger of the Dyer A. C Snappy fielding on the part of his teammates added materially to the attraction. John Rafalski, Cadillac A. C. catcher, aided Pete by refusing to allow any liberties on the bases. The little backstop pasted six runners, attempting to go down from first. Ed. Gorecki, the Cadillac short stop, was another stellar performer of the day. He turned in the first ball to first with a wild peg. The lineup: CADILLAC A. C. Ab.

TWIN CITY K. C'S DEFEAT VETS

Two More Claims Found on Fitzsimmons' Boxing Arena. LA PORTE, IND.. Sept. 2" Follow ing announcement that agents of the federal government had filed lien against Floyd Fitzsimmons' arena at Michigan City with the county recorder for overdue war tax on admissions, comes information that two previous liens against the sky blue bowl are already on the books

at the county recorder's office.

The Pioneer Lumber and Coal company of Michigan City, filed lien for $3,885.27 for lumber used in com

struction of the boxing arena, and J. M. Dunlap & Son, also of Harbor City, claim an account amounting to $397.16 for cartage. The claims were filed August 24th

The Twin City K. of C. had no difficulty whatsoever in winning their final game of the season, in spite of the fact that their opponents were the pride of Hammond, namely, the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The score by which the K. C.s won, 7 to 0. plainly shows the ease with which they defeated the same team which a week ago held the Hammond K. C.s. Suburban League champions. to a 1 to 0 score. A comparison of these scores would easily show the reason the Hammond "Caseys" concelled a league game with their Twin City brothers after the Hammond team had won the pennant. It would have been a sad blow to the Hammond "Caseys" if the Twin City team had beaten them after being declared champions. But getting back to the game Sunday at Indiana Harbor, the final outcome of the game, after the Caseys scored their first run in the second, was never in doubt. With Johnny McKula pitching in the form which brought him fame in the past, the Twin City team rode rough shod over the Vets. Johnny's pitching especially featured, allowing the slugging Vets a measly six hits, two of them scratches. Olsen, the Vets pitcher, did not fare so well, although he had the advantage in strike outs, getting four to his credit, while McKula got only three. However, the Vet pitcher was touched for thirteen safe blows by the heavy hitting artillery of the "Caseys." Two of these blows were triples and one a double. Duff, the lanky center field guardian, led the slugging with three hits and as followed closely by Gant, who had a triple and a double to his credit. Galvin and Ginther were next in line with two hits apiece, one of Galvin's being a three base smack to right With the exception of Capt. Feirock, each of the "Caseys" made at least one hit. Krug was the leading slugger for the Vets, Retting exactly one-half of the total number of hits which his teammates made. Moll was another Vet slugger, with two hits. Duff and Lott played the best fielding game of the afternoon. Duff In the outfield caught several hard files without a mishap, while Lott accepted seven chances without a bobble. The Caseys began their scoring: in the second when Gant tripled and working the squeeze play with Benich scored. They added another In the fourth. Feirock reached first on an error, advanced to second on Lott's base on balls and scored on

McKula came through with a hit and Galvin scored. Feirock sacrified Johnny to second and Gant scorei him with a two bagger. Wow! bow that boy was hitting. Just to make the game more interesting, they scored two more in the eighth. Lott beat out a hit to the third baseman and reached second on Benich's out. He scored on Ginther's hit througn the third baseman. Duff surprised everyone, the umpire calling him nut on strikes. Galvin then came through with a hot liner, too hard to handle, to the pitcher.

GRIFFITH BEATS THE N. E. COMETS Superb playing marked the closely fought contest at Griffith Sunday between the Athletic Club of that city and the North End Comets, of Hammond. The game was won by the Griffiths team. 5 to 4. The North End Comets comprised the stellar

players of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the regu

lar North End Comets lineup. Zolla pitched wonderful ball for the Griffith aggregation. Bakalar was about as effective, but his bud

dies failed to bunch hits at the critical moments.

In the last half of the eleventh inning, with the score tied, Bakalar

weakened and the slugging Griff men

garnered four hits for three runs.

WAITS FOR ANSWER

NEW YORK. Sept. 27 Tex Rickand had not received any reply from Battling Siki up to yesterday afternoon to his offer of $100,000 to have the Senegalese kid do his stuff against some American fighter. It seems that Tex does not want to have Carpentier's conqueror ruined in a clash with either Harry Wills or the big champion. Jack Dempsey, but wants him saved to do battle against Harry Greb. Gene Tunney, Billy Miske or Tom Gibbons for the light heavyweight championship of the world. Siki is a legitimate light heavyweight and his vlotory over the Frenchman makes him the light heavyweight champion of Europe. Greb is the incumbent over here, and if Rickard can arrange it he will have Siki show his wares In that division instead of shooting him against such rough folks as Dempsey and Wills. Billy Henry. South Chicago, and Toung Zabish, Pittsburgh, went ten rounds of interesting boxing to an. even break in the windup of the show at Gary last night. Both boxers took and handed out punishment and showed a willingness to mix at all times. They made weight at 128 pounds. In the ten round semi-wind-up Henry Leonard had little trouble In winning the decision over Ole Oeil. Shufflin' Callahan scored the only knockout of the show when he dropped Jimmy Deans for the count. In the second round of their scheduled six round scrap. In the opening bout Scrap Iron Unger and Jimmy McKeg went six rounds to a draw.
