IE I. E REAL TRYOUT The Hammond dcatena game with the flraoui Oak Park Friars Sunday will be a real test of HMnmonjs football strength, said Coach Ralph Jones today in discussing the fourth battle on the Scuna schedule. ihln game afeainst a team corusidred to be the best in the Midwest league will show what class of football the locals can rut up." if the Scatena eleven is able to win from the Friars it can consider itself in the running- for tha chamruonship title. Definite predictions as to the result of the contest with Oak Park lire lac!;lntf among the hundreds of Scatena followers since the many promising: reports from Oak Park have been circulated here. Ham mond rooters expect one of the hardest fought games of the season, but most of them are at sea as to the probable outcome of the score. The winner of the Scatena-Kriar battle will no doubt be conceded to have the best chance to contest for the Midwest football championship. The Scater.as. who were runners up last year, are out to cop this season "I'd if confidence means anything tho Scatenas stand a very good show i coming out on top. Both the Friars and the Scatenas drive not been beaten thus far, each t .--am has claims to three bard victories, with Oak Park boasting tluu their poal has not been crossed us yet. The Scatena line has boor, crossed for two touchdowns, but in each instance the Hammond team had scored first. Oak Park has a very strong combination. Most of the players are former high school stars who have been declared ineligible while in high school or in some college. Frank Winter, former Illinois university athlete and present coach of the Oak Park high school, is tutoring the Friar eleven. Winter's couching ability is known wherever football is played, and the fact that Coach Jones is some coach himself c;:ght to make the expected heated tame an interesting one. Tho visiting team is under the impression that the Scatena line is not so efficient, although it is big enough. In the games played thus far the Scat line has shown remarkable ability in blocking and cha-ging. The one fault that the writer has seen is that a few of the linrmen have not mastered the art cf usiner their hands in the line. As far as the usage of the hands is con. corned. Hamn.dnd has been sadly lacking in the line for years. Only one man in Hammond gridiron history, the fsrunstt Frank Blocker, now with th:- fJary J-Jlks, ever thoroughly ruj;. . . ;l.is wondefrul art. An unn.-.:.:i C. ; la;, tr, a past master of football ability, v.-as out with the Scatena team last night for a lon practice session. The new marvel showed jilcnty of pop and io"ks to be the real roods. The addition of a new man' in the line will atsiat the the S? arena, team r-Tfatly as the loss tail tea1!!

Almost everyone around this part of the country know that most all teams that are turned out cf Irondale are good or better.

man. They are well known for their successful aerial playing. From records we get the information that out of the five games they have completed ten passes, an average of two passes a game. The Gophers are working bard to form a defense against forwards. The line which has been weak has been improved a hundred per cent Garvey, the big two hundred pound man will be eeen at tackle "While the star, Batch, formerly of the White Eagles will be seen at tackle. Cecil Cohen, while being a good backfleld man will share the honors of playing quarterback with the speed demon. Shorty Long. Shorty can always be used as a halfback where he can show to great advantage when he starts circling the ends. Iast Sunday he went through the Famous Chicagos for a gain of thirty-five yards. Jimmy Hassett, the new fullback has the pep and ha sure knows how to hit the line, and when he does he usually goes for seven or eight yards. Hassett can also punt a ball which Is a great asset to the team. Swede Martin, an Cast Chicago product and one time star on the high school, will play tackle.

This will give the East iTucago fans a chance to see the two teams that East Chicago has. The field for this Sunday will be wired off and nobody permitted on the field as has been in the past.

It's a good bet that if Lew Tendlcr, crack Philadelphia southpa -, and Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, ever meet in the squt.. -ed circle again it will be welterweights. Several circumstances bring this conclusion. First of all Tendler has indicated that he will cease to attempt to remain in the lightweight division Lv signing to meet Dave Shade, legitimate welterweight, at Milwaukee for a battle in the near future. Tendler has bad trouble keeping himself down to evr the new lightweight poundage of 135 pounds. He has felt, his friend3 say, that even that weifh; weakens him. Hence his decision to step into the heavier class. The welterweight class now prepents more opportuniti. than the lower class. There has be .n a dearth of goocl welters for many moons. Secondly, Leonard, if he fights again, probably will fight ; s a welterweight. He has not fought at the recognized lightweight poundage for years. When he fought Tendler months ago he weighed in for the benefit of newspaper men a week before the fight and made the 135 pound mark. But secrecy surrounded his weighing in the day of the battle and it is generally believed that he t-aled well over the 135 mark. Leonard showed that he hai - j for welterweight honors when he took a match with the veteran Jack Britton the match which left a bad taste in the public's mouth. So, if Tendler, who deserves another crack at Leonard by virtue of his showing in their last bout, ever gets another chance to tackle Benny it looks as though it would be in the welterweight division possibly for the rieht to meet the Rip Van Winkle of that division the aforesaid Jacques Britton.

sort of stuff. During the regular playing season while the Yankevj .ere battling to retain the American League championship, the praise of Scott continued. But now the song is different. Scott's failure to ccer territory around short gave the Giants many easy base hits, these -ame scrib.s say. His failure to hit weakened the Yanks' offensive strength. They doh't stop to explain vh they did not discover during the 154 games of the regular season that he couldn't cover ground. They don't recall that they said that he was invaluable to the tea. ; despite his weak hitting. And they overlooked the fact that Babe Ruth was more helpless and of less value to the team than Scott. They are inconsistent, at least. It looks as though they ..ere simply trying to find goats to coveup the real weak spot in the team the management.

Babe Ruth's miserable showing in the recent world's series a duplicate of his pitiable efforts in the classic of 1921, will be a blessing in disguise if it turns out that it awoke Ruth to his pree..--ious situation in baseball. A six weeks' suspension by Judga Landis, several shorter suspensions by Ban Johnson and various disciplinary moves on the part of tha Yankee club owners during the past season failed to drive into Ruth's brain the fact that he was on the wrong track and rapidly skidding into baseball oblivion. The changing sentim.nt of the fans, who quit cheering and began booing him, also failed to impress him as being an indication tl .t he was losing his grip in the ba ball world. His rotten showing -rainst th Giants topped off a rotten year. He found himself booed and eve i jeered at every time he walked to the plate or took to the field in the fall classic. Has it finally dawned on the big boy that he must turn over a new leaf if he cares to con. -ue in big league baseball, let alone dra 7 a huge salary and the adulation of millions of fans? Let us hope so. '
