uLABBY WORSTS O'KEEFE

So'jtb Chicago Middleweight is Out in His Corner . After Fight Dennis O'Keefe of South Chicago ook an unmerciful beating last nght on the stage of the Auditorium at Indiana Haibor. For ten rounds J I r.i m y C'.'labby battered O'Keefe with his loop-the-loop left 4 ' k )"? " - and terrific short-arm jaos about the body. O'Keefe. unabla to cope with Clabby in open fighting, rushiJ into clinches where he found that Jimmy was even more effective In close-in scrapping. The final bell saved O'Keefe from a knock-out. lie sank into his c'.iair and then slipped to the floor in a faint. It was five minutes before he was able to leave the ring. Ciabby was fresh and unhurt The fans who packed the hall were delighted. Clabby had promised that ho would be in condition for the fight anl when he entered the ring it was apparent that he v as in the pink of shape. He or.ened the initial round by landing upon O'Keefe freely with his left and when the latter rushed into a e nrich, holding Clabby'8 right arm. the crowd yelled for the referee to brc'ak them. Harry Hockstetter, tli.; referee, let them go as long as hey fought with one hand free but after O'Keefe had continued his holding tactics for three rounds the anger of the fans compelled him to interfere. J:i::my landed three smashing U f tf. to O'Keefe's face in the third an 1 rushed "lim around the ring.

but a repetition of the fifth round Clabby lacing O'Keefe as he never trimmed a man before and the latter holding on and sticking It out, with the exception of the ninth, when O'Keefe was so far gone that the bell alone saved him. It was a far more decisive victory for Clabby than his shade over Jimmy Darcey at Michigan City and it shows that when he is in fighting shape, Clabby is the master of old. Every tight fan was well pleased with his showing las: night and he completely restored himself in popular favor.

IXOLA.N K.XOCKKU OIT Krankie Welsh of Chicago put he KO on Johnny Nolan of Elgin , the first round of the semij windup. The boys fought at 147 that is. Welsh fought. Nolan simply kept falling down. When the bout opened. Nolan, with his hair nicely combed, made a flashy rubh at Welsh, who landed a solar plexus blow. Nolan fell like a brick hi. use. rolled over and got up. Welsh clipped him again in the same place. Nolan went c'own and tuck the count of seven. Another solar plexus put Nolan out for nine and when he got to his feet all Welsh had to do was to push him over and he was out. It all happened in a minute. Cuple Trimble of East Chicago shaded Young Porkcy In six rounds of fast fighting at 118 pounds. Cupie shows promise of being a clever boy, but he covers up too much and wnile he lias a good left he must learn to hit with both hands. He did very well, however, and won the decision by his willingness to mix and the way in which he tore into Young Porkcy in the sixth. Jalk Rudy of Chicago defeated John Donovan of Arlington, Wis., in three rounds. Donovan's handlers tossed a towel in the ring in the third to save their man from a knockout. Donovan appeared to be a novice at the game arid mor; of a wrestler than a fighter. The crowd gave him a hand though for his gameness. Donovan and Itudy fought at 130 pounds There is Just one complaint to make about an otherwise fine evening of sport. Jerry O'Nell didn't announce Maurice Champaigne as referee of the opening bouts. Just because Champaigne lives here Is no reason why he shouldn't be recognized, especially in view of the fact that he is as good a third man as ever stepped in a ring with two fighters. Champaigne handled the opening fights in an able manner. He broke the fighters to the entire satisfaction of the fans. This Hockstetter person was announced for the semi windup and windup with a great splurge. He started In to referee with his hands in his pockets, as unconcerned as the reporter of the Twin City Globe. He stayed as far away from the fighters as he could get and remain In the building. The crowd hooted him but he didn't mind that because he Is a newspaper reporter. Harry is a fine fellow and a good sport writer, but as a referee he wins the enameled ant's crutch..

The Hammond Scatf nas and the strong Famous Chlcagos mtet tomorrow aft Tiioon on the Harrison Park gridiron, with the Windy City team a big lavorite as a result of their strong showing against Ii Grmige. St. Louis Tigers. Jollet. Hegewisch and Kast Chicago. The two e'evens are bitter rivals as neither has been beaten this year, both are potent factors in the race for the Cerntak trophy emblematic of the Midwest league championship. It will bo a battle worth while seeing as a defeat for either team will mean probable elimination as a contender for high honors. The Famous Chicago have not been scored cn this season, and the visitors will strive to keep their coal line from being crossed by the Scatenas. The club with the famous monicker has many ex-college stars in their lineup. Most of the players are working under George Carlsin at the Chicago city hall, and being high paid politicians the Chicago crew is not averse to playing football oc. Sunday. That the Famous Chlcagos have a lol of storing plays and a powerful line there is no doubt. Whether it possesses a virile, effective defense as was shown against Hegewisch and Kast Chicago remains to be seen. Two years ago, when the same team under a different name locked horns against the tJophcs, the county team was able to win 10 to 7. but a few weeks ago when th? same clubs met there was a different story to tell, and the two elevens battled to a scoreless tie. Kivalry between a Chicago organization and Hammond has always attracted many big crowds to different athletic events, and It is expected that more than 6,000 people will watch the Sunday tilt. The visitors are bringing a large delegation v.ith them, with Dick Kerr, famous White Sox holdout, as cheer leader. Hammond will be outweighed about five to ten rounds per man. t--1 r.

IT11 pounds from one wing to the other, and barkfleld that boasts of plenty of beef when put on the scales. Weight, as was shown in the oak Park contest, is not al-

.f ways countable, and if the Seatena.play as they have dune thus far i hey .stand a good chance of coming out on top. Hopes of the Scatena supporters brightened a trifle last night when it was announced that Captain Spoerner would be able to start at right guard. He is one of the best linesmen on the team, but has been out on account of injuries. The Scatena smiaJ, some nineteen strong, are all in good shape; the only draw back is that the locals are in need of a few more good backfield men to take the place of the regulars should any thing unforseen happen. The Famous Chlcagos have not given out their lineup, and this leads to the belief that Coach Emmerson will duplicate Oak Park's feat in sending in substitutes as fast as they are neerjPrj Vor Hammond it is pfobable that Tague and Worland will take care of the ends. Payne and P-mith, both men of experience, are at tackle; Heimke and Spoerner at guard, and the redoubtable Nelson at center. "Oily" Shanks will start at quarter, with the possibility of Sidenbaeker awaiting his chance to replace MUt Dermody's assistant. Hed Schillo and the flashy Warne are at the halves., with strong Daniels at full. The other players will all get in the game as the contest promises to be a heated one. The loyal and faithful who have been keeping the boys home with their contributions are asked to be out in force. Dig crowds are plentiful every Sunday, but w-hen the Mclcet man comes around an excuse is always off red. Hammond has in the Scatenas a fine hunch of home bred football players that deserve the support of every sport loving man and woman in town. Who "rnrils ti e motion? Mornlngslde at Des Moines.

DODGERS AIIO WEST ARROWS

AT FIGHT ARENA

By LARRY GEORGE Kast Chicago fans who do not care to leave town in order to a football game will have the privilege of witnessing on? of the finest battles in the district tomorrow when the Chicago West Arrows and the East Chicago Dodgers hook up at the fight arena. The West Arrows are a very formidable club. They have already played the famous professional Pullman Panthers to a 0 to 0 loss. And last year they battled it out with the Cornells at Dexter Pavillion for the lightweight championship of the entire Middle West. They l.st that argument by one touchdown. They were also runners up in the middleweight division of tha .Midwest le-iue last season. The .'na.y l'ullmtn A. C. was the only eleven t' finally eliminate them. Jone? has been sidetracking thii club ail Wi-lt becausi they are so tough and also because they demand too much .lough. However, when lie could not get an other outfit to come out here he finally decided so take a chance on the Arrows. Without a doubt, the Dodgers an in for one of the toughest games of their lives, and it Is too bad tear, they did not schedule them earlier in the week so as to give the fans an opportunity to ltarn of their brilliant record. We wish to repeat it. the Arrows are one of the bctt bets ln tin league and if you miss tnmorrow'i game you will havs lost a chanr to see what 13 considered "a real football club" In action. At tin- Cornell-Arrow championship game of last season some ten to twelve thousand persons paid their way Into the nationally known Dexter 1'avillion to see them play. This is an excellent indication of the class ,of the Arrows. A curtain raiser will be stage! between the Harbor Lions and the Unknowns. This affair is attracting as much Interest local Intercut as any game in the communiiy. Tiie Unknowns are unknown bota as to their players and as to their home town. The Lions are composed of sonn well known high school and amateur stars, including Gant, the two Galki.s, Line. Batchclor, Coolc. Mosney, and others of equal calibre. They have a good club. Thl3 game will start at 1 o'clocic promptly. And the West Arrowj and Dodgers w ill take the f.eld at 11. The price of admission for both games will he. 55 cer.ts. Smith or M Shane of Last Chicago high will referee. JOS. W. WEIS Vice-President CHAS. H. WOLTERS Asst. Secretary-Treasurer
