The Hammond Athletic club yester-

the Valparaiso Tigers having succeeded
IN clawing the locals six times, while
the latter got only three runs. But it
was a good game and Judging from the
increased patronage it received, the To-

The visitors who three weeks ago
were defeated by the H. A. A, made
their six runs in the first three innings.
Meade had an of day. giving in the
three innings he pitched seven base
hits and four bases on balls, three of
these gifts coming in as runs. Percy
Smith in the six remaining innings held
the visitors down to one base hit and
had no gifts for them.
The home team seemed unable to take
advantage of good opportunities, being
especially weak on bases and allowing
twelve live ones to die on bases.

OF these twelve six were left on

SPORTING NOTES
FIGHTS WERE STOPPED ACROSS
The LINE ON SATURDAY

Some of the followers Of the fight
game in West Hammond think that the
stopping of the fight there Saturday
afternoon means that the sport will be
killed for an indefinite time. Others
say that 1t was the putting in" Of
Governor Marshall that caused all Of
the trouble and when this has blown
over there will be no further difficulty
But at any rate the fight in West
Hammond was stopped. Eight big
husky deputy sheriffs swooped down
upon Kid Towards Columbia Athletic
club in West Hammond Saturday and
prevented the bout scheduled to take
place between Danny Goodman and
Clarence Forbes. About 600 fight fans
had gathered in anticipation of a rat
Ting good scrap, and when the an
nouncement was made that the money
would be refunded and no fight would
take place black looks were cast in
the direction of the peace officers. but
no one resisted their right to stop the
fight.
For some unknown reason Governor
Marshall decided that West Hammond
could do without boxing matches and
wired to Judge W. G. McMahan of the
circuit court at Crown Point, asking
him to stop the fight Sheriff Thomas

The Hammond Grays won an easy
victory over the St. John Juniors at
Whiting yesterday afternoon by a
score of to 2.
Freyman pitched good ball yesterday
and had the Whiting players where he
wanted them all the time. In the fifth
inning. when three men were on bases
and one down. he managed to pull him
self out of the hole by tanning the last
two men to bat.
Kasper was hit hard by the Grays,
some one being on bases in every in
ming. The Whiting boys were unable
to reach third until the fourth inning.
when Mcclellan, catcher for the Jun

single mixed with few errors, but he
was caught when he tried TO steal

Blacky, fielder for the Grays, started
the hitting in the first inning when
two men were down. He hit to left
field for two bases. but was caught
trying to go to third.
Whiting scored their only runs in the
last inning, when their rooters did a
little lung work which ratified the
Grays and let two men cross the plate
on errors. But Freyman was cool at
all times and not TO De fattIed- ana
with two men on bases he famed the
last two men, while those on bases

Papke who opened a weeks engage
ment at a Chicago theater yesterday,
had much to say regarding his recent
fights on the coast and he didn't put
the low gear on his talk in discussing
his recent twenty round championship
battle with Stanley Ketchel. In Pap
kes mind he was robbed purely and
simply. The worst he should have re-
ceived was a draw with the Michigan
Terror. Papke said he would be will
ing to meet Ketchel in a finish fight,
and would be prepared to lick the ref
