MO BUGS TO BATTLE TOMORROW

four Speed Events Promised Racing Fans at Roby Ppeedway Jai-: Loach, promoter of the au-tx-obiH races at the Roby Speed-v.-. was fingering his chin nervously to.lay. The rain, which startru ra.-iy this morning and bade fair to continue indefinitely, was a keen . o.' worry to Jack. "I," the weather man will Just :,u:ii vs a plenty today and get it r,ct of his system tomorrow will ba the biggest day the Roby Speedway Association has cve-r had," said Ixach. "I wanted rain because then i -ore rain we get on the- clay the better it to omc-5. iut I'd like to have the rain be a "tile careful and not coma too .c'.os? . to our race ca tcs." , , - Iach says that "vtn should a i ravy shower fair-Sunday morning, the track will be in fine condition ;n"v;ded there are a couple of hours f-r sunshine bt fore the time of running the time tria-ls. The time trials will start at 1 o'clock tomorrow, the same as two v.-ecks ago. It is probable that these vill require all of the time before the races start at 2:30. Many fans likp to pet out early enough to wit. r.c-ss the trials as there are often rorac wonderful speed demonstrations. Tomorrow's program will be the longest offered this year. There r. ill be the usual Ford and heavy car 10-mile races. Then the winners of these will compete in the 2r--mile grind. It Is this long drag vhich brings out the speed and tests the endurance qualities of the machines. Often a car which has done wondrs in the short races proves a flivver along about the middle of the. big race. Wenniston was once cheated out of making a grand cleaning just because his machine developed trouble near the end of th 25-miler. Following ihis race there will be a novelty event. The fastest motorcycle in Hammond will be pitted . against the fastest automobile and thy will be allowed to battle for 5 miles. This is expected to be j.'ood. Practically all of the great drivers of other races will be on hand tomorrow and there will be a num. berf new faces behind wheels of pturdy' mounts, Th9 best time to date for 10 miles is 9 minutes 7 seconds. Several speed kings promise to lower this Sunday. OUR FIGHT EtEcismm At New Tok Floyd Johnson stopped Bob Martin (10). Bobby Bonn beat vVlllie Farley (4). Jackie Norman beat Tied Ca.p "Wilson (6).

George Carpentier "making up" for prt in his latest morie Jubt before his boat with Battling Siki. Many French critics are saying that Georges Carpentier's crushing defeat at the black hands of Battling Siki can be laid to his new love, the movies. They assert ha spent more time training before the makeup table of the movie studio than he did in the boxing ring at his quarters. Georges seems to be worrying more about bis curly locks than he does about Siki's Asts ia this photo.

Berwyn has already won two games tbls season, while the Scats boast of one victory by a large score.

great extent. Howat, who will fill in at quarter whenever needed, is a protege of the Veenker school of football and can be depended on at al times. Ketohell, another bright cog in the Scatena machine, will probably break in as a regular. The Berwyn people are all agog over the Sunday game here. The little Sucker town has for years heard of the Scatena team, and their wonderful record. The visitors are coming with a great deal of confidence. The Berwyn squad is a well balanced one, and the line will probably outweigh the Scatenas by several pounds per man. The Scatena team will take their final workout this afternoon at Harrison Park, while the Berwyn eleven will not finish training until Sunday morning. They are expected to arrive in Hammond for a drill at the American Legion hall, where they are to make their headquarters while in this city. Joe Scatena. the popular owner of the team, and Business Manager Lou Cantwell are confident that the home fans will stick to a home team. It is very doubtful whether any of the loyal crew will head for Chicago tomorrow.

COLUMBIA Sunday being the final home game of the season for baseball, the Columbia A. C. will celebrate by having a baseball game between two picked teams of the club. Chief of Police Nitz, who was appointed captain of one team, has been scouring the secretary's book in order to pick the best men available and the chief claims that the nam he picks could possibly defeat the Columbia regulars.

Curve-ball pitching -pel' id the Reds' doom this set. .or., sey Cin.i experts who suggest that Moran take along some "hook" artists next spring to feed his betters nothing but curves. Though golf is fraught with uncertainty the past season i- a way has demonstrated that a number of those who did win titular events were no accidental champions. Cases in point are Gene Sarazen, who captured the national open tnd the Professional Golfers Association titles; Jesse Swe.tser, sui.:ssful in the national and metropolitan amateur meeting, and lastly, Marty O'Loughlin, leading the list in the New Jersey and metropolitan opens. For any one to keep on winning nowadays arainst the keen competition means good golf all the time. A few slips and he's gone. Dclrolt's recall of Bob Fothergfll from Rochester probably means the deal between Detroit and Rochester for Maurice Archdeacon and Cliff Brady is off. If it ever was seriously on. Fothergill was called in because of the Injury to Harry Heilman, but he would have been brought back anyway it could not have been otherwise, considering the tremendous hitting he has done in the International League. It's a certainty, too. that Chick Gagnon will be recalled by Detroit. He appears to be a wonderful ball player. Is there one fighter the good old U. S. A. that George -;-.ney.

DAY TOMORROW hs is such a good promoter of sportg the chief is rather "leary" of whom his opponents may be. Chief Nitz. who has been a number one ball player in his day, will be out in a uniform taking care of the first sack for his team and will have his protege, Joe Kowalski, as his twlrler. The game should be one of the best that was ever played in West Hammond. The gam will be called at 2 o'clock. The club will close up the season with a banquet for the ball players and club members on Sunday evenIn. knockout artist supreme, doesn't hanker to meet? It would appear that way. Alex Hart, idol of Lorain, O., fans, is finishing training for his battle with Charley O'Connell at Lorain the night of Oct. 2, and thereby hangs a tale as the classics say. The promoters who are staging the bout had their hearts set matching Alex with Chaney. But George wanted the bank of Lorain, riparian rights along Black River and Lake Erie and a lien on the U. S. sub treasury to meet Alex. So O'Connell was signed. Hart has met Chaney twice. This alone speaks well for Alex, inasmuch as most fighters ' plenty the first time. The initial bsttle of Hart and Chaney ended unsatisfactorily for Hart. He refused to go on ith the fight in the fifth round, claiming a foul. He lid be. giving Chaney all the Baltimore lad could handle up to that time. Hart asked for another bout with Chaney and got it. This l-ut, too, was held in Philadelphia. Hart stuck the distance despite the fact that Chaney tried everything he owned and hit Hart every place the rules permitted. Confident that he could lick Chaney if given a third crack Hart suggested to Lorain promoters they get Chaney. But the knockout king's manager turned a dea ear. Now Hart hopes to stop O'Connell and thereby add strength to his claims that he can halt Chaney if given another chance. The forthcoming bout ought -o be a hui mer inasmuch as Hart is under Johnny Kilbane's management and Jimmy Dunn, Kilban'a former manager and now his enemy, is managing O'Connell.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Floyd Johnson of Iowa advanced a notch in the heavyweight division last night by winning a technical knockout in the tenth round over Bob Martin, heavy weight champion of the A. K. F. Martin's seconds tfcrew a towel into the ring thirty-one seconds after the tenth round started. Martin opened the session by rushing to meet Johnson as he spring from his chair. But'Martin nrfssed, his only chance had gone, and he was absorbing heavy punishment when the surrender was made. Johnson jumpea Into the lead In the first round, had his opponent daied by t?ie end of the third and was in undisputed command after the fifth round. Being a novice, Johnson became excited when he saw Martin's helpless condition and in his anxiety to land a knockout was unable to place a decisive blow through Martin's lower guard. The Iowan showed tremendous hitting power and a clever left hand, but he was slow. Martin made a srame defense and
