LL DODGER
ME IS P
By LARRY GEORGE '1'he Cornell -Dodger game scheduled for next Sunday at tho fight arena has been potponed by the Cornell management. East Sunday the Cornells traveled to Ilegewlsch. where they lost a gruelling contest to the crack football team of that town. In the course of that battle four of Cornell's best backfleld men were Injured. And the doctor claims that they will not be able to play for at least two weeks. Consequently, the Cornells have put off the Dodger game until November 19th, when they "will brinsr out a real tfam," to quote the exact words of their manager. That Is how high they rate Coach Fat McShane's wonder eleven. The Dodgers sent a scout over to Hegewisch last Sunday to see the argument. And he reports that P. J. Carr's crew is stronger than ever this ieason. The Hesrcwinch outfit was aole to beat them only through the. los of Cornell's star backfleld men by Injury early in the game. This los3 put the Cornells at a threat disadvantage and subsequently spelled their defeat. This scout also ha acomplete map of the tnoie effective plays the Cornells used in that game. Coach Pat McShane will Immediately draw up a plan of defense against them. Anothe.- same which is attracting much attention in the Dodger camp and also in the entire town, is the proposed Scatena-Dodger match for Thanksgiving Day at Hammond. Coach Fat -McShane has a eompilete line on the Scatena system of play and he claims that the Dodgers will greatly surprise the Hammondltes if the two clubs ever meet. The local sentiment is that If any team in the region can take the count of the strong Hammond favorites it is Coach Fat McShan's SCATENAS Hammond football fans and those from the surrounding towns will be given another opportunity Sunday afternoon to witness the classiest gridiron attraction that has ever been seen at Harrison Park, 'between two of the best teams in the MidWest League. "Happy" Cant well, manager of the Hammond Scatenas, has g-arribled greatly on the loyalty of grid fans around Hammond by scheduling the most expensive attraction that has ever been put on in an open field. The Famous Chicago?, who are to do battle with the Scatenas Is the most talked of eleven In Chicago, the fact that they held the strong Hegewisch team to a score less tie and did likewise to the East Chicago Gophers has made the city tall player the most feared aggreI criion In the Mid-West organizai lion. it.: Famous Chicagos are compos- . sj o tho best material that the V."r.oy City management was able I to grn:sh together. Most of the I pis; ers have had their names car- ) ried in the halls of high school and I college gridiron fame. The visitors are coming to Hammond with a clean '-late, their goal line as yet has been untouched, and the Scatenas arc certainly going to face the strongest aggregation of the season. George Carlson, the Chicaijo City Hall big gun is spreading the news that his club will be out to beat the locals by a large score. Carlson seems to be of the opinion that the Famous Chicagos are unbeatable and it will be up to the Scatenas to show George that Hammond has a club that can take the measure of his high salaried stars. Coach Ralph Jones made little comment last night when his players assembled for a two hours practice session. The players knew that the silence of the former Gob indicated he was not satisfied -with the Sunday game against Oak Park. Most of them knew there was much wrong done, and the entire squad of twenty worked like Trojans for the contest against the Famous Chicagos. The Scatena line looked very strong in practice and will be stronger yet, if Captain Spoerner returns to his regular -position and Hlemke's arm heals before Sunday. The backfleld with Daniels, Sldenbacker, Schtllo and Warne is indeed a hard outfit to beat. The changing of Warne to quarter had to be done because there was no other player on the squad who could call signals in "OIly'' Shank's manner. Shanks knocked about every Sunday by opposing teams always manages to come bark, if the former high school star could learn to throw short passes In the right direction all would be well. What the Scatenas need Is more open plays than was shown in Sunday's game. Coach Jones will probably work in this direction and if ho does ho should start to develop two ends who can meet the hall as does Daniels and Warne when plunging. Schlllo Is the sweetest punter wo have seen in years. His kicks have left visiting teams wondering where the ball would land next, "Red" should attempt a few drop kicks each day, as that will give him plenty of reliability to kick when in doge quarters of tho enemy's goal. The Beaten management is working In th good graces of the Hammond Tark Board, and It is probable that the bleacher seats which were uwed so often during the base ball reason, will be out hugging the side linen, so that at least 1509 "loyal" fans can enjoy the game by sitting down Instead of running up and lown the field as has been the custom in tho past, Hammond is earning inte its own. A record of. three scoreless ties dem-
AND FAMOUS
CHICAGOS
OSTPONED
East Chicago Dodgers. So quickly has the reputation of the Dodgers grown that East Chicago now rates them second to none In the region. This Is certainly a remarkable transition from practically nothing last year to title contenders this season In both the welterweight and nitadle weight division of the Midwest Uague. Coach Quant of Englewood high school has bald of the Dodgers that they are tho smoothest working amateur eleven he has seen In action this season. And ho rates Quasnl as a quarterback as the brainiest pilot ot the Midwest league. This Mattering opinion of one so well vensed In the game is surely a red feather In the Dodger cap. And Coach Fat McShane. who has been almost a father to his Dodger boys, Is constantly guarding against the possibilities of such praise going to their young heads. He realizes that youth is very susceptible to flattery and he Is earnestly endeavoring to keep his team's nose to the grindstone regardless of what may be eaid of them. An indication of the team's confidence in their ability is their growing de.iire. to play the Famous Chicagos. The Gophers were unable to score against them, and the Scatenas will try to cioss their gcal line next Sunday. Now the Dodger players themselves are eager to take a crack at the Chicagos in order to give the fans a line"'of comparison between the Scats and the Dodgrers. This is a rash form of egotism; yet, It may work out for the best. At any rate. Manager Jones is endeavoring to bring the Famous Chicagos out here for a game. And the entire Dodger team to a man predicts a decisive victory. Such egotism will not b denied! inates our town by the trio of football representation. We hope It never happens again. Says which? CLABBY IN GREAT SHAPE FOR O'KEEFE FIGHT, FRIDAY EVE. No man has ever worked harder to get ready for a fistic event than Jimmy Clabjy for his ten-round go with Dennis O'Keefe, at Indiana Harbor, Friday evening." This is the message penned by Sam Hall, fight critic of a Chicago morning paper, who Is to referee the Clabby-O Kee fe bout. According to gossip In the fight fraternity there is a good deal of bad blood between Clabby and the South Chicago battler. This is easi to understand for those who know how boastful and sarcastic O'Keefe can be. Not that he hasn't some excuse for his egotism; he is a tough customer to deal with in a ring. But that does not save .him from being offensive to his prospective opponent. The truth is that O'Keefe's jibes have gotten tinder Jimmy's hide and the Hammond scrapper H woritinR as he has never worked before to get into condition. Clabby is not known as a k. o. fighter but that 1 exactly what he intends to hang onto O'Keefe. With the prospect of a prudg" battle at the auditorium in Indiana Harbor Friday night, the fanp are grabbing off the tickets and a bis crowd is assured. Larney Lichenstein. Clabby's manager, writes the following letter about the forthcoming fray. "Jimmy Clabby is now ready to demonstrate to Dennis O'Keefe. the South Chicago star, that he is his master at every ansle of the boxing game. Jimmy is going to give Dennis the boxing lesson of his life and a battle that he will never forget. The nen aj-e to weigh In at 154 at S o'clock the day of the contest, which is a weicrhl that is easy for each of the battlers. When the Hammond globe trotter was Informed that O'Keefe had never been stopped he remarked: 'Well, here is where he goes to sleep.'" Other bouts on the bill are Franklo Welch of Chicago vs. Jabber Young of St. Paul, eight rounds at 148 pounds; Young Po-key of Kensington vs. Cupie Trimble of Fast Chicarro, six rounds at 120; Jack Downey of Arlington, Wis., vs. Jack Rudy of South Chicago, six rounds at 150.

STRONG
ELEVENS JO MEET The big week has finally arrived when the Whiting Friars play the Fast Chicago Gophers on Forsythe lit Id on Nov. 5. Fans will travel from all quarters of the county to be on hand when the two teams clash at the opening whistle. According to the dope the struggle will be well worth all the interest displayed as both teams are powerful elevens, whose true strength has not yet been tested. If both teams rise to tho occasion and play the football they are capable of, the fans will see one of the most thrilling, hard-fought battles ever staged on any gridiron. Both teams have been primed for this battle and have been pointed for this patricular game. All previous games have been designed to furnish a rough tert of the various combinations of both offensive and defensive power. Flays will be uncorked which have been perfected and bottled up tor weeks and released for this encounter. Both Coach Graves and Coach MillUan will present their strongest lineup in desperate efforts to emerge the victor. Nothing will be withheld. The Gophers, who possess the great passing system of Darrow tc Rider, will be the chief worry of the Friar mentor, who must devise some method to halt this pair. The Friars are holding secret sessions In both line plunging and open field work and they are determined to avenge the defeat of last yea.- when they finished at the short end of a 12-0 score. Line drill this week will be intensive as Coach MiUigan is not satisfied with the work of his forward wall. He is driving his charges in an attempt to find the weak spots and develop to the point where they will be able to withstand the. ons'aught of the visitors. It was stated by fhe Gopher management that the Friar club is guiltv of importing out of town players for this occasion, tnderno condition have the Friars secured players from different oragmsations. The same lineup will be used as the one that has been used in all previous games and as all payers are local men we want to see a local victor?". But we cannot say that much for the Gophers as we know that the Friars will battle the Gopher team composed of stars from three different clubs in the count. bedfo5ds5rts LEAD JACKSON PARK LEAGUE Last night, two of the leading bowling clubs of the Jackson Tark league came together and one of them had to show their stuff, so the Bradford Shirts put It on and cracked the maples for the count of 2 Sc8 and knocked in the crack Rubina Cigars for three games. This club was one game behind the Bedford Shirts and the Bedford Shirts was two games behind the Jackson Tarks. who was leading the lejgue up until last night. The Service Drugs took three games from the Jackson Parks and pushed them down in second place. "Woggles" was the ftar performer of the evenin?. getting counts of 205, 247 and 1S4, a total ot 636 pins, and an average of 212. He also got the "buck" for high game. While the "Captain" was shaking a set of mean dogs at the Parthenon Theater. Clarence Bates filled in for him and averaged 1S3 which is just a trifle under his regular average. In the second game the crowd was on their feet most all the time, pulling for a team that is hardly known to any of them simply because they have a club that pulls together. If one man goes down there is four more trying to pick him up. In this game the team came close to the thousand mark. These are some of the scores of last night: Hall 178 221 135 1SG Knrlght 192 164 204 1S6 Btes ISO 1R0 1SD 1S3 Woggles 205 247 184 212 Xelson 191 1S1 1S3 1S5 Total 946 933 919 Team Average PD3 2-3. A LETTER FROM JIMMY Sporting Kdltor. The Times: To all who attend my boxing bout with Ienni O'Keefe which takes place at Indiana Harbor, Friday night, I wish to say that I'm fit and ready, I'll have no excuses to offer should tho tide of battle go against me. However, I was never more confldent of winning than 1 am on this occasion. All of my friends and admirers who attend are sure of my best efforts to please. Very sincerely, , JIMMY CLABBY, of Hammond.
