CLUB BARS BETS

AT Hawthorne

HORN

TEAM IN SHAPE

"Who tackled that man?" Above the yelling o fa couple hundred students, above the din of the gridiron, above the shouts of the players, rose the query, sharp, terse commanding. "I did," came from a panting bit of bovhood that shambled across the intervening space to his coach. Then from Coach F. Ewlng Wilson came mingled criticism, explanation, and a demonstration of how to do it right. The scene was enacted on the playing field at Hammond high last evening. It was reproduced this evening. It. and many others like It will be renactd tomorrow vvening and again and again until the light and little eleven at Hammond high has achieved as near perfection as Is possible. Dally now the thirty or more men at the high school are going intense scrimmage preparatory to the real tests to come. Wllsom has divided his men into two teams. They aren't the first and second teams. Both include some of the first string men. FIRST CAME SATURDAY The curtain will rise officially on the fjrst game of the season Saturday when Rensselaer appears hre to do battla with the local boys. The game will be played on the high school field. , Today Coach Wilson hadn't decided what men he will throw Into the game Saturday. Much will depend on the outcome of the practice uring the next few days. To this observer Captain Nichols and Quarterback Mayers make a great team. The passing of the latter is accurate though not vtry speedy. Nichols is a good football man. He's always there, Myers can hit the line with wonderful gains. Young Chevigny in the back field is showing up well.

If there is betting at the Hawthorne race meeting opening Saturday, it -will be strictly oral, and arrests will be made for bookmaklng, accord Ing to a letter sent all members of the Illinois Jockey club yesterday. The letter explains in detail the attitude of the new association in regards to wagering. Telling members that the success or failure of the Hawthorne meeting depends largely on their own actions and the acts of their guests, and that bookmaklng and pool selling Is positively prohibited.

Nothing but smiling confidence was registered in the countenances of head coach Pat Herron (right) and Captain Frank Hanny (left) when they talked over football prospects at Indiana university this season after the first week of practice on Jordan field. Sixty-odd candidates, twelve of thsm veterans of last season's squad and twenty-two from the 1921 freshman eleven, had been put through fundamental drill

and the coach and captain seemed well pleased over the results. CaptalnHanny will attempt to repeat his great record of 1920 when he permitted only four yards to be gained a-ound his end of the lino. Coach Herron, after two years as first assistant to the famous Glen Warner, Is out to make good In tho Big Ten yestern conference and Is driving his men hard for his first conference same, with Minnesota Oct. 14. at Indlanapo'ls.

There were plenty of smiling, jubilant damsels in the stands during the practice scrimmage but a cheer leader was lacking. "That's another angle that has to be worked out before the game Saturday.

E. C. DODGERS WISH

TO CORRECT

MISTAKE

BY LARRY GEORGE On the sporting page of Monday's edition of tho Times, the writer made an error in crediting one of the three touchdowns the East Chicago Dodgers made in their game against the Pullman Rosebuds. The game occurred at the East Chicago Fight Arena, and resulted In a 20 to 0 victory for the Dodgers. Those chalked up with the touch downs were Quasm, two; and Williams, one. Williams did not score the marker. It was a slip of memory on the part of the writer. "Pinkey"

As soon as the Rosebud's center passed the pigskin, Quinn broke through their lin?. blocked the ball as it bounced off the kicker's toe and then pounced on it for a Dodger touchdown. A bitter argument of several minutes duration ensued after the play. An din the general gabfest, the writer forgot the marker and gave it to Williams, who had greatly impressed our memory with his terrific drives. This corection is made with all due justice to both players. Incidently, it might be mentioned that "Stitch" Ryder, famous Gopher end, may not play with the Dodgers this year. He has not fully decided on which team he shall play. Jimmy Blake and Walt Pipqr, al

though not In the lineup last Sun

day, will jump Into action possibly next Sabbath day or the Sunday

thereafter.

Another powerful addition to the

team Is John "Mickey" McShane, assistant to Coach Smith of the the East Chicago High School. He is also a brother to the famous

Coach Pat McShane.

Walter Conroy. ex-Dodger, and last year's star Gopher halfback, has graduated into the professional

class. He signed up with the Pull

Where Extra Service is Demanded Firestone Cords Predominate

WHEREVER the exactions and tests of tires are most severe there you will find Firestone Cords in universal use. The hard jobs seek Firestone. And so well has Firestone responded under difficult conditionsso consistently has mileage mounted to totals impossible to obtain from ordinary tires that today Most Miles per Dollar is the buying slogan of thinking motorists everywhere. The blending and tempering of rubber, gum-dipped cord construction, air-bag cure all these mileage methods have

been developed by men whose life work is the production of constantly increasing tire values for the public. Users in this vicinity verify Firestone reputation, and report almost daily some new Firestone record of extra distance travelled. Don't be satisfied to buy tires buy values the longest mileage at the lowest price consistent with such reliable performance. Make Most Miles per Dollar your principle of tire economy choose your next tire on that basis.

MOST MILES

per DOLLAR

Twelve and one-half cents per game! That's what it will cost season ticket holders to view games play

ed on the home grounds this fall by the Hammond high school football eleven.

Sale of season tickets opened at

the high school this morning. Its the wish of the athletic directors and faculty that every student in

the high school buy one or more tickets.

The local team will play four

games on home territory. Tickets admitting the purchaser to all four

games are being sold for fifty cents, half a dollar the cost of admission to a movie. Well, for fifty cents where could one buy more? Four whole games of the peppiest kind of football What do we hear? The man on the desk at the right takes three;

the young lady acros the way wants two; ah, there, over in the

corner, how many for you? Next!

Johnny Kyle, Gary star halfback, stepped Into the football limelight this week by reason of an announcement in a Gary newspaper that he had decided not to play with the Hommomi professional eleven but would become a member of the Gary Elks club. Kyle Is said to be under written contract with Dr. A. A. Young for the entire reason and the story In the Gary paper created a sensation in Hammond. Kyle's contract-

Jumping if the story is true comes

on the eve of the opening game of the season for the Hammond team and leaves Doc Young In the lurch. It is hard to believe that Kyle would break faith with Doc Yountr, especially after signing a written contract. Dr. Young is an Elk and said today that he did not believe the Elks of Gary would attempt to take Kyle, causing him to break faith. "I do not believe the story,", said Young. "I have too much faith In Kyle. Besides beln;? one of the best backfleld men in the country, he is a clean-cut fellow. I am trying to get In touch with him to find out what basis there ia for the newspaper report." Meantime Dr. Young called Shelburne, Dartmouth '20. and another crack halfback, on the telephone at Combridfce. Mass.. and as a result of the conversation Shelburne Is

now on a train headed for Hammond to play football. If Kyle breaks a contract with the Hammond team he will be barred from the National Football league, which controls twenty of the biggest professional clubs in the country and is steadily adding to its roster. Kyle is an Emerscn school product and made his football reputation with Indiana University, where he developed into one of the best backfleld men in the conference.

FANS WANT TO SEE CLABBY IN E. CHICAGO ARENA

Why don't the Eat Chicago Boxing Club arrange a bout for Jimmy Clabby, Lake county's only nationally known fighter? Scores of fans have asked the question. They declared that Clabby wo'ild draw an Immense crowd. Hecause of the distance only three hundred L-ake county fans went to Michigan City to see Clabby trim Jimmy Darcy, the light heavyweight. Three thousand Lake count fans would turn out to see Clabby fight at Eat Chicago. Jlmrny has demonstrated that he Is as clever as ever. At Rock Island he won a decision over Stockyards Murphy, a hard-hitting middleweight, and he has been booked to battle Jack Malone at Oshkosh, Oct. 2. Fans are of th opinion that the

East Chicago club is losing out on a good thing by passing up Jimmy. ; "Tho promoters of the Kaat Chicago club haven't got their ears

very close to the ground or they would know that the fans want to see Clabby In action," said one fan. "It la a good policy to give the beys what they want."

WABASH HAS A LOT OF MEN FOR HANOVER

CRAWFORDSVILL.E. Ind., Sept. 28. Just who Coach Vaughan will start In his Wabash back field against Hanover Saturday is not known. He has four sets of backs. Including the vet combination of Roll, Knee, Singleton and Goldsberry, working all week, and It Is hard telling which men he will select from this crowd. Duffln, Cast and Seidenstlcker, members of last year's second strintr back field, are here in a bunch and fighting hard to hold their own with the flock of newcomers. Last year's line, with the exception of Mllstead, tackle, is back for more. Staples, substitute tackle from last season, probably will start in Mllitead's old position Saturday. He registers with the 190pound boys and is strong on the speed and aggressiveness. The Little Giants scrimmaged on Tuesday afternoon, with the first and second elevens getting down to business in the form of a regular game. Coach Vaughan figured on another tough workout and then will let his athletes take things easy until Saturday.

2,500 WATCH PURDUE GRID SQUAD PRACTICE

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 28 Two thousand fire hundred students and townspeople turned out Tuesday afternoon for the first "pep" session of the season on Stuart Bold, Purdue university, the football squad getting a good eendoff and Coach The. Ian driving his men through soma Intensive drill to give the spectators something to look at. Athletic Director Nelson A. Kellogg, Coach James Phelan, Assistant Coaches Lambert and Von Bermuth, all made stirring talks that were loudly applauded and the Purdue band played for the first time this season. The practice session was devoted to snappy signal drill and separate instruction of linemen and backs. Real scrimmage Is scheduled for later In the week and the fans are eagerly waiting to see the varsity lined up against the formidable freshman varsity team. Purdue's first game is with the James Mllikin here Oct. 7.

M'GRAW'S LUCK STILL WORKING; STRIKES OIL; MAY BE MILLIONAIRE

NEW YORK, Sept. 28. John J. McGraw may or may not retain the world's baseball championship title after meeting the Yankees next week in the world's series. But John shpuld worry. Within the next year or so the little Napoleon is lllcely to be riding around the country in his private car a la Harry Sinclair or John D. Rockefeller. The manager-vice president of the Giants, who was at the track this afternoon, had a fair day, as he played four winners, but the best piece of luck of his life was a terse telegram informing him that the Lamb-McGraw Oil Co. of west Texas had that day struck a 1 o.GOG barrel pusher. This is said to mean approximately $25,000 profit every 24 hou' s. McGraw and Chat'.ei A. Stonehame own half the stoc.':.
