COLONIALS AND "LACROSSE!

III

Hammond Team Eliminates Boone Grove And Battles on Even Terms With La Crosse.

BASKETBALL CROWDING ALONG WITH FOOTBALL

I'laying short handed among the team loaded heavily enough to bankrupt an ordinary 'base ball promoter, the Colonials stepped through the Valparaiso tournament Sunday, beating Boone Grove 5 to 3 in the noon game and playing a, 5 to 5 tie with LaCrosae after that team had neatly trimmed the Valparaiso Stan, dards. The Hammond fellows played vonfldent, cool and carefree hand

throughout the afternoon, seeming at all times to te holding a little In reserve and looking better in the second game than the score indicates. Frank Simon opposed the well known 'Maloney in the opening game of the tournament and came through with an easy 5 to 3 win. The Boone Rrove gang showed signs of life In the sixth, after they had been helpless before Frankie's shoots for five innings and counted their total of 3 runs. With 2 runs needed to tie they threatened a little In the final inning when a bloke reached first through an outfield error with' none down. He was winged out at secnext one flew out to short .. c- 6 ond trying to make that station. The' next one flew out to short and Hudson ended it by grabbing a low foul precisely after the manner of Cracker Schalk. Bakalar was assigned the task of pitching to the LaCrosse representatives in the final game and he set the all star galaxy down with six hite, 3 of them coming In the sixth wherein the opposing outfit bad enough luck to cause their arrest, and scored 3 runsEddie Bloom was the hitting kid In the opener, his one 'base clout In the first inning counting B. Simon, after the latter had walked and his doutle In the next round chasing the two Simon boys over with a couple

more. Babin pushed Bloom across

with a double for the fourth run, and Babo made the last one and his

third one of the game, when he singled In the fourth ahead of Mey

er's single. After LaCrosse had put the clean

ers to Valpo our gang galloped out

and the battle for supremacy and

the tournament dough 'began. Nes-

po. werring his pants big: Ua-rue

style and admitting that he once

managed a minor league club, rolled

to Babin. Stanly, fellow player of Nespo at Michigan City, lifted to Bloom. Hfadley, being a legitimate member, quite naturally struck out.

With one gone tBloom hit to left but

was nipped off first. Meyers lifted

to the left fielder.

LaCrosse were to-:crh ones in the

second round. Eggleston scratched cne through the box and counted when Boyle doi.rled. Chinskl and Carter were outs. Long walked and pitched Geilow whiffed. Hammond evened matters in their half when

F. Simon doubled. Baron whiffed and

Kroupa. sub-bing for Red North whaled a long doutle to right.

The colonials stepped out in front in the third. Bakalar cracked a safe one ever short and pushed

along when Bloom was hit in the sleeve, following B. Simon's fly to

Boyle. "Buck" made a dash for

third and the surprise was so great that he wasn't played on. Bloom taking second. .Meyers' drive past

second was good for 3 bases, Bakal

ar and Bloom counting. Babin's sacrifice counted Meyers and the

core stood 4 to 1 for the Hammond Jtes. F. Simon struck out.

La Coss counted one r the fourth

on a walk and a hit, and took the

lead in the seventh, the final inning by scoring 3 runs. Long opened the

disastrous seventh by fanning

Young, Gary hurler, who had taken uip the pitching in the fourth, was safe on Bafoin's error. Nespo then whanged a hot one at "Buck" and It went for a hit. Young stopping at second. A passed "ball advanced both runners and both counted when

Stanley singled to right, Stanley taking secong on the throw in. With the score thus knotted and darkness

nettling the rootinsr grew frenzied

F. Simon took TTea.'ley's fly, 'but Eg

gleston's Texas leaguer dropped

safely despite efforts of Bloom, Simon and Meyers and Stanley counted, giving LaCrosse a one run lead and apparently the tournament. With defeat seeming certain, our gang came up for their turn at bat, and a rising moon gave evidence of the need to make haste. Hudson flew to left. So did Bakalar. IB. Simon see-sawed and squirmed until he drew a pass. Babe took second cn a passed ball and Eddie Bloom further brightened the slight ray of hope by hitting safely through short Simon taking third. Meyers "then cracked one through the darkness. Simon crossed with the tying run ' and Bloom rounded third andcontlnued in a mad attempt to snatch a game and a tourament out of the Are. Stanley relayed . the throw from the outfield and Eddie was out at home by an eye lash. The count stood at 5 and 5 and the umpire then called quits. The score: First game:

HAMMOND AB R

Style in the apparel of madame Is not the only thing that rushes the season there's basketball, for Instance. With football scarce begun and

baseball still to throw a mighty nation into the maelstrom of a world's series to shrill a prophetic voice to waiting fandom. In home territory It looks like an interesting season ahead for follow, era of the basket game. There i a possibility of an industrial league In this field of sport; there may be a girl's league; it's almost cerain that a Junior boy's league will be organized and perhaps of greatest

Importance Is the announcement

that It's highly probable Hammond

will be represented by a profession

al team with national championship aspirations.

John Millet, owner of the Colonial

sporting goods store, and backer

this season of the crack Colonial

baseball team, is understood to be gathering a quintet of the best basketball players available. This team

may unofficially represent the city.

There Is a rumor that Millet has closed a deal with officers of the.

Masonic Temple for use of that mam moth auditorium. There is no more ideal place In Northern Indiana to hold a series of basketball games between worthy opponents than the handsome auditorium of the temple. MUlett will likely offer something official in regard to his plans with

in a few days. Both the Bell Telephone Company and the Simplex Plant are planning teems this winter. It is known that both have applied to the school board for use of school gymnasiums on designated nights during the season. Other industrial teams will likely be organized. Albert Eaumberger, director of Community Service in Hammond, and Frank O'Rourke have Ideas about establishing several leagues In the city that shall Include teams In all classes. They propose to organize the youngsters as well as adults, arrange tournaments and award prizes. There will be a number of girls teams this winter also. Bet will have two; Conkey's may have one: there will be revival of the Blue Devils and maybe some others. And of course the high school will have a couple teams on the Moor.

CARBONE

CUWL

NEAR K. 0.

DETROIT, MICH., Oct. 3 Jimmy Clabby. of Hammond, was no match for Frank Carbone, of New York. In ttietr ten round bout here last night. The former great Hoosier battler never had a chance from the first bell, and only the kindness of Carbonne permitted him to stay the limit. Clabby. minus his old speed and cleverness, absorbed a terrific beating until Carbone refrained from Inflicting further punishment. Carbone sent Clabby down for the count of nine and seemingly could have finished him. Clabby at no time showed the form that once carried him high in the middleweight division. He was outfought at close range and was unable to land damaging punches on Carbone. mean while finding it difficult to protect himself.

SCATS GETTING SET FOR FIGHT WITH HEREIN

With the Englewood Crescent gabe a matter of past history, the Hammond Scatena footbsll aggre

gation will now start prepa-ations for next Sunday's game against tne scrappy Berwyn, 111., state champions. After, eyeing the famous Scatena eleven Sunday, local followers of football are confident that Hammond

this season will have a team that will rank with the best in the great middle west. Coach Ralph Jones, who received his gridiron experience In the Navy, is a past pigskin performer of known ability. The exgob is a firm believer in the eastern style of football, which means that the smashing, rip-roaring Scatena machine will be a defensive one in the lines as weU as in the backfield. Sunday's contest asslnst the Crescents showed some faults of the locals. This was especially true when the Scats were within easy corlnsr distance, only to be contin

ually penalized for off-side. But being that it was the first real test. Jones' players are to be excused and It Is probable that the coach will alter this defect through the week. Nelson's work at center was the best seen in Hammond in years. Not since Frank Blocker wore a Hamuniform has that position

been as ably taken care of. And Nelson should go through the entire season with the same ability as he is a veteran of long experience. What every fan In the Calumet region Is looking forward to is a battle between the w. k. Gopherf and the Scats. Preparations for a game between these two old rv' will probably be made soon. If Business Manager Lou Contwell Is

successful In getting the high noo

fiiH n exnected crowe

will be on hand. ti.. smii will clay st

. long as local fandom gives them their support. The fact that Harrison rark is not an enclosed field makes it rather hard to bring the best middle weight teams here. But the Scats are going to gamble and every team coming to Hammond

v.. on notch ones.

WHITING COMMUNITY SERVICE PREPARING FOR BASKET SEASON

rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 WHITING, Ind., Oct. 3. The Community Service Board has appointed a committee on basket ball for the coming season, consisting of J. C. Melvin, chairman, W. E. Schrage and J. J. Chllla. A meeting of all who are Interested In basket ball, either as players or spectators, has been called at the Community Center on Wednesday ev ening at 7 o'clock. At this time the committee will outline two teams composed of local players to represent Whiting during the coming sea son.

After being sadly disappointed by .he South Chicago Orpbeum football ttam last Sunday, the East Chicago

Jophers Have booked the Warren .-ark A. C. from Austin. 111. The Warren Park A. C was form, al ly the Austin Cardinals, who playd the Gophr here last season and iave them on of the toughest tames of the season. This team was

the last team to be eliminated from getting into the Ana s for the cham. I pionshlp of the middle weight dlviion. I It sure was an awful set back for ' the home team when the Orpheums failed to appear last Sunday, but , they take this means through The Times to notify the Gopher fans that nothing like last Sunday will ever occur again. In order to protect the same for next Sunday the Warren Park aggregation were made to . post a forfeit of i0 for an appearance. This week will give the boys more time to get In shape, and it they happen to be the losers nex Sunday there will be no alibis. The Gophers will rlay at homi every Sunday. No games will be booked outside of Lake county. Last Sunday the Gophers put on an exhibition for the many fan that were present, and the fans were -o Impressed that they all went out cheering and talking about the Gophers being one of the fastest teams on the griJiron. Captain Darrow took the boys through some snappy plays which were done in tip top i"ashion. There will be practice every even.

ins this we.sk, and many new plays will be seen when the Gophers get into action. Under the wonderful coaching of Attorney Graves the boys have added more lp arl pep and after signal practice the boys have to run a quarter of a mil. Then they are rubbed down by experienced football handlers. It is the aim of the management of the Oophe-s to put a team that would not meet Its equal. In taking or the Warren eleven, the Gophers will be put to the test. The game wtl' start at the usual time, whleh will be 2:30.

The Gophers last Eunaay travel-. to Whiting, where they witnessc the White Eagles of the Harbor an the Friars of Whiting play to 0-i score. When the Gophers mad. their appearance on the field. thc were quickly recognised and a shout went up from the crowd. The Go phers were then introduced to th fans. The fans were told that tli Gophers would play Whiting at later date. "In behalf of the Oophers I wish to thank Manager Lottinville of the Friars for the courtesy shown us." said Captain Darrow.

In a game filled with two many thrillers to record. Coach Pat McShane's East Chicago Dodgers settled the South Chicago Whales Rash for a 13 to 0 mlxup at Bessmer Park Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers' smooth going machines immediately began to maVe monkeys out of the Whales by pushing a marker across the line in the first three minutes of play. Kink Qulnn was the lucky boy to carry the ball. Swec dropped-klcked the pill over the cross bar on the next

play. Thoroughly frightened, the Whales tightened up and succeeded In stemlng the tide of two more impending Dodger touchdowns in that terHowever, Coach McShane s boys were not to be denied In the second quarter. Using a baffling, ripping system of attack, Quasni finally sent Williams around end for the other touchdown. Ewec missed his second attempt at the drop-kick. The half ended 13 to 0 in favor of the Dodgers. The Whales were un

able to even threaten tne uouger a goal. The second half opened with several new faces in the Whales' lineup. A second glance revealed them to be South Chicago Orpheum men. The same that were supposed to have played the Gophers yesterday at the Fight Arena but wo called off the game at the last minute.

The W hales kicked. Quanni caught the ball and then dashed down the field through the entire Whale team. He was finally overhauled from the back but thirty yards away from his goal. The two teams battled it out on even terms in that session. No scoring was even possible after Qussnl's sensational run. The whistle for the last quarter Mew. Some more new faces In the Whale's so,uad. They were becoming heavier and heavier thru .'he constant addition of new heavy mer And their weight and freshness began to tell.
