Hammond scored soon after the second quarter when Chevigny received the ball on Rensselaer's 10yard line, skimmed l:e frigrhtenh the flittinir ranks iof the opposing head hunters and propped the ball for the only touchdown of the game. Meyers tried to "kick eoal but the attempt was poor and the ball spun far to the left. Coach "Wilson was well pleased with the showing of his men. His ,'on.- disappointment was in their ; failure to put over a telling punch just when their opponents were at "lowest ebb. At no time in the game v.-as Hammond's goal In serious danper. On the contrary, the ball was . virtually all of the time in Rensse- ' 13.cr territory and had the Ham- , anond lads displayed as much confidence as they did ability the score would have teen more Indicative of . their real superiority over the down state team. i Wilson's chief worry now is to - Ibolster center. Time and again the 5'backs of the opposing team plowed 'through that position. Wilson playing a six-man defense, attributed rthe- weakness to this new arrangemst. There may be some changes tie line before the next g-ame, ft'i'son intimated. i Hammond played a defensive gxne throughout. But It wasn't a bad game and considering the heat and the fact that many of the lads were rather shaky, the result of the Softest is highly encouraging to the wfiool officials. i-Kext Saturday the team travels to fishawaka, while the late lamented knsselaer eleven will be taken by teir coach.

Their own pitching staff an uncertain factor, the "brains" of the Giant team, Owrer John McGraw and his two assistants, Hughie Jennings and Cozy Dolan, will try to equalize this possible weakness by solving the punt to the center of the field. ' Murphy tried a few passes, the last of which the scrappy Tague intercepted, which netted another touchdown, W. Sidenbacker kicking goat. With but three minutes to go, the Sidenbacker brothers passed to each other to the extent of another touchdown, the pair passed to each other for the extra point' and the pame was over, with the Scatena rooters, and they ara legion, claiming that this year's eleven is a true representation of Hammond's own.

The former Northwestern star booted a place kick directly over the goal post in the first quarter, and it proved to be the deciding and only score of the game. The field goal in the first period was the fruit of better punting by the Cardinals early In the game. Both walls held well and the locals gained the ground only by the advantage in exchange of kicks. There was an average difference of eight yards In the first quarter and the variation made it possible for the Cards to nudge Into the visitors' territory. Then Pollard fumbled and the Cards recovered the oval after which Driscoll reeled off a long run around left end. Trials at bucking failed and Driscoll dropped back for the place kick he made. More than 3,000 persons saw the game. COBB EQUALS THREE MAJOR LEAGUE MARKS DETROIT, MICH., Oct. 2 Three major league batting records were tied by Ty Cobb In the season that closed yesterday.

Burkett. however, set the three-year record before the foul strike rule became effective. J ohnny Hogan Beats Ohio Barnyard Champ CHICAGO.

Can he Giant strategy board repeat again this year? the game Sunday was forfeited to the Gophers. The parade and demonstration of the Gophers scheduled to precede the game was also cancelled. L Tl Up until a few seconds of the final whistle of Saturday's game, the score between East Chicago high and Mishawaka looked like a possible naught count, when the visitors executed two cleverly connived passes that won them a victory, 7 to 0. At all times the struggle was In doubt. If r.nything. East Chicago had the advantage. From the moment of the first kick-off the ball was k'ept well away from the East Chicago goal and was forced Into their opponent's territory. Despite the sweltering sun that beamed down upon the players and appeared to be meltim; them away, both teams displayed an abundance of speed. It was on account of this heat that neither team could gain any material advantages until 'ii the last few seconds of the game, when Mishawaka shot over two forward passes that gave them their triumph over the home boys. Coach Smith does not consider Saturday's game as a test for the high school team. He is confident of the ability of every player wHh the exception of one or two and with these changes the. high school coach expects to "carry on" through the season. WHITING H. S.

GARY ELKS SWEAT THROUGH VICTORY By SPIKE Gary Elks' football representatives, aspirants for the middlewestern pridiron championship, took the Maplewood Rovers of Chicago like Grant took Richmond at Gleason field in Gary yesterday afternoon. It was their ambition to brat thf visitors by a few more points than 28-0 which the Cardinals ran up against them a week arro, and they did exactly that and added ten more on top of it, making it 38-0. The afternoon sun was just a bit too warm for ideal football weather but the Elk warriors did not mind Old Sol. neither did the fans. Two thousand of them packed the bleachers lining botli sides of the field and every one of them, except some of the visitors, report that "a good time was had." Many out-of-town people, from Hammond., East Chicago and the Harbor, made tip the audience. Even Crown Point was represented in goodly numbers. The game was the opener of the season for the antlcred braves and the first chance fans have had to look them over. With one or two exceptions the local aggregation put in a classy appearance and from our point of view, ought to come out of the 1922 season with the middle-western title. Following the game. Captain Blocker stated that he would make a few changes in the personal of the team this week. It was fc'meltzer day as far as spectacular performance was concerned. Time and again he brought the fans to their feet with his dev. cr running .slipplnsr through the visitors' arms and fingers as though, he was greased lightning. i Dawson, new end for Gary, also exhibited some class in nabbing forward passes out of the air. He caught two Rover forward passes and scored touchdowns after spectacular long runs. He will become a permanent fixture on the EMi team. The playing of Kyle was also an outstanding feature of the game. His wonderful toe work in booting the ball brought much applauses. To look at the sturdy prid star, one wouldn't imagine he could run. but believe us he can. He also proved an addition cf strength on the offense as well as a ground gainer with the ball. Then there was Selieger, Hammond star. He is a power in the line. Where you looked for the ball you would find Frank. Frank Blocker, who tore a ligament in h':s j;ide. Chuck Harris. Johnny Coyle. Veenker. Cattorini. Kneisley and Forty Anderson were also shin;ng lights on the team. In fact, every man on the team played football and Is deserving of Individual mention. Gary scored nineteen points in the first half and nlnteen in the second half.

The (Cash Value ' d)f Tractor Pwer

nrIME is the essence in good farming .

I writes Frank I. Mann, one of the most successful farmers in the United States. "To judge the value of a tractor on the farm it must be considered in relation to its ability to do farm work at the time to give most profitable return from the crops grown." Mr. Mann goes on to show that farm work is subject to continual delays from adverse weather conditions, and the one great advantage of the tractor is in enabling the farmer to handle peak loads on time. In one case cited, tractor power enabled the farmer to sow a good acreage of spring wheat on March 23, which early seeding gave him a return of 44 bushels per acre, thus illustrating the cash value of tractor power. A tractor to do its work must have petroleum products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes great pride in the fact that its organization is able to supply the needs of these tractors in 10 Middle Western states with petroleum products of superior quality. No matter how unexpectedly the farmer's peak load may arrive, he will find that this Company has ever ready at his call such gasoline, kerosene and lubricants as he may need. Owing to the isolation of many farmers and farming districts, this task of supplying petroleum products at dependable intervals is a big and often an exceedingly difficult one. Nevertheless, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), inspired by its obligation to the community, has always met rural needs for petroleum in a big way. The Company constantly is extending its operations to provide facilities which under all conditions enable it to meet the demands made upon it, arid to guarantee a reliable and sustained service even in periods of stress.
