RENSSELAER, TEAM IS AGAIN
BEATEN BY HAMMOND FIVE

The Hammond high school basket
ball team defeated the team from Rens-
selaer high school by the score of 81
to 81. The game was fast and furious
throughout and was one of the most
interesting contests that has been wit
messed during the present season.
While the Hammond team did not
run away from their opponents. the
defeat they administered was decisive
one. The first half ended with the
score IA to II in favor Of Hammond, and
there was really no question as to the
result after that.
Hunter and Ebert Of Hammond were
the particular stars in basket throwing,
and while Hunter made four baskets
Ebert made three and then Hunter ad-
ded seven points to the score by his
goal throwing. Atwood and Kennedy
each made a basket and the rest of
Hammond's score was made by the
two points awarded.
Meyers of Rensselaer, made good with
four baskets to his credit, and Kirk
got one. The rest of Rensselaer,
scores were made by Meyer on foul
goals.
There were in the neighborhood OF
800 people who saw the game last

Cautious Clabby is Fit as Fiddle For His Bout
Jimmy Fights Gilmore wednesday

There is even greater interest be-
ing taken in Hammond and other cities
in the region in the fight between Jim
my CIabby of Hammond and Gilmore
of Chicago than there was in the re-
cent Fitzpatrick fight. It is believed
the coming contest will be the best of
the two.
Clabby is training every day and is
keeping in perfect condition. He real
ICES that to lose a fight at this stage
of the game would be a bad setback
for him and would hurt him with the
pugilistic writers.
On the other hand If ne can go along
and fight cautiously and win all of his
easy fights and then make a good
showing against the real good men
with whom he comes in contact, he is
likely to develop into a favorite with
all the advantage and prestige that is
gained by having an enthusiastic fol-
lowing.

will be almost as interesting as the
main bout, will be the preliminary be-

tween Billy Moorhead and Billy Sui
1ivan. Every fan who has been at
tending the recent fights knows what
Billy Sullivan can do. and as Billy
Moorhead is a good man, too. there is
likely to be something doing most OF
the time.
Billy Moorhead, by the way, is to
train with Jimmy Clabby for several
weeks. These two shifty boxers will
work out together and they think it
will be TO their mutual benefit.
Jimmy Clabby is very serious about
this boxing business. He realizes that
there are big prizes ahead for the man
who can make good, and he is ambi-
tious enough TO make almost any kind
of a sacrifice in order to make good.
That is why the local fans have
faith in him. They believe in him. too,
and Clabby would no more think of
throwing a fight than he would think
of flying. He knows his friends are
backing him with their moral and
financial support and he proposes to
remain loyal to that confidence.
