Juet as Johnny Hurlburt or Mac Thompson cleverly extract the ball from an opponents srasp, so do the members of tho basket ball dance quartet seem to cunningly wrest .the rapturuous notes from within, provoking the slowest of dogs to a frenzied Frisco. 1 this, tho sixth game for the locals, big Wilfrid Smith will not be present, having trailed off toward the. "Wabash for a home visit. Smith's home ties, an allegiance to the East Chicago Club, will remove him from th Colonial team not infrequently. He -- most certainly will appear against tho Hammond representatives when the East Chicago club team is encountered. In return the Hart squad yields Shelton, whose l-res-ence has given ( them added strength In eo'jse past encounters. The first meeting of the Colonials and the East Chicago club, a meeting of mighty forces, will probably occur on the East Chicago court Saturday, January COth.

'Twill be a bitter struggle, attended by an overflowing crowd. In tha absence of Smith. iGrace, a member of last year's Colonial, a former Hammond high school athlete will prove added strength. He will be on, hand tonight and an already familiarity with the squad will make Mm a valuable asset. Tha preliminary starts at 7:00; th big fame at &:00. and the dance at 9:00.

MILWAUKEE, Tria., Dec. Johnny Dundee, the 130-t)ound champion. who meets Tommy

O'Brien, the sensational coast light

weight at the auditorium here Friday night, has arrived in Milwaukee and opened training quarters at Morgenroth's gymnasium. The Italian wonder man, veteran of over a thousand battles, appears to be in perfect condition. Dundee always takes care of himself and with a few days' work says he win be ready to take everything that Mr. O'Brien has to offer. And that Is saying a lot for Tommy posses one of the greatest right hands in the business and once he hits an opponent squarely, down he goes, usually to stay down. "I have heard a lot about O'Brien and bis great right," said Dundee after a wortiout this morning, "but don't think I am going to stick my chin out there for him to hit. He will never touch me, and If the bout ends in a k. o., it won't be Johnny Dundee who will be on the canvas." Milwaukee critics are not 6t sure about this and considerable money has already been laid that in event of a knockout O'Brien will be the one who delivers It. Interest in the batile locally is growing as the day of the contest nears and orders for big blocks of seats have been received at Frank Mulkern's office from points all over Wisconsin and from towns as far away as Peoria. 111. Racine, Keno sham. Madison, Oshkosh, Green Bay and La Crosse, will also send big delegations for the quarrel, while Dubuque will also be represented by a party or ten. The attractive price at which the all-star card Is being staged-$3 top has brought out a great local demand for the pasteboards and the National A. C, plans to use the entire main arena of the auditorium .for the show. Reservations will be filled In the order they are received so it would be advisable for out-of-town fans to get their orders In as soon as possible. Promoter MuUcern has completed the card for the show, and on paper ft promises more excitement than an old tlns sailor's ball. In the semi. Battling Zwlck. the Kaukauna star who has won his last ten fights by the k. o route, will rieet Tommy Neary, the hard punching Milwaukee welter. These boys are evenly matched and as both are terrific hitters, predictions are made that the bout won't go half eight rounds scheduled. Another flne brawl should result when Harry Kahn and Al Da Flame meet in the second prelim. Kahn recently stopped Jack O'Toole. the St. Paul star In two rounds. He is meeting a stiff puncher in La Flame however, and will more than have his hands fall with his fellow townsmanIn the opener Billy Banch ef Chicago will meet Eddie Joers, who was a sensation in the amateur ranks. Joers broke into the pro game recently and won his first bout by ' stopping his opponent in two rounds.

Circle Teams in Real Test With Woodlawns and Calumets as Their Opponents. "Whiting basketball fans will have two good games dished out to them tonight when the fast going Woodlawns of Chicago will be on decl; to engage tho Tied Circle Kceerves In what promises to be ono of the fastest gamps of the year. The Woodlawns are a team of no mean ability who have been rapidly forging to the front the past year and so far this season have cleaned up on everything that they have played. However the Unserves have ability themselves which they proved in their first two games this year which they won by fairly good margins, and since these games considerable strength has been added to them by new recruits who have come out lor the squad. In Iho main event the lied Circles will have the Calumet A. C. five against them, and a game which promises to show some real basketball Is being looked forward to. The Whiting team has Improved wonderfully in their last two starts and with a shifting of the lineup it is believed that a combination which Is unbeatable by any team In the region has at last been worked out. With Burke back lu the lineup. Thicsscn, Cole, Galvln, Lauer, Eggers, and the rest of the Bjuad on hand for tonight's game, it looks like a win by an overwhelming score for Whiting.

The Hustlers have won twice from Charles Surprises' team and have defeated the Lutheran's team. Our record is clean and we wish to keep it clean. 1 hope you will publish this correction. Sincerely, WILLIAM R1ST. Mgr. Hustlers.

BUSINESS

'1 F

The. time, must come when all businesses will consider the advisability of advertising in the same spirit that a manufacturer ponders over the advisability of adopting a new machine. One does not install a piece of labor-saving mechanism because it suits his fancy; but because the efficiency of the business requires it. He expects the new machine to reduce his cost to operate perhaps to make a better product and thus aid him in meeting competition and making larger profits. Advertising is exactly similar. The man who refuses to consider it as a possible expedient, simply shuts his eyes on one of the problems of his business. He might as well

lore the banks as sources of

credit when he has need to borrow capital.

On the other hand, the man who looks to advertising to checkmate all weaknesses and shortcomings of his business and to carry it along to victory despite these, has a childlike faith in the miraculous. Advertising will no! make his product or his service any better than they are; but it will bring him the full benefits of their merits. It will not eliminate wastefulness in his factory or his store; but i will reduce his cost to operate. It will not make illogical selling methods successful; but it will assist good selling methods, and often point the way for improving them. Advertising is the most inexpensive motive power that the manufacturer or merchant can buy today. It is a form of stimulus that brings excellent returns on the investment.
