WILL HAMMOND Be ABLE
TO COP OFF ANOTHER?

VIII Hammond's whirlwind aggrega-
ton be able to win their third straight
victory by defeating the Tom Murray
sepi-pro nine from Chicago next Sun
day? Is the puzzling question that is
worrying the loyal fans of this city.
Hammond has been successful in
their first two attempts to down the
semi-pro. teams who ventured out from
Chicago. but the Tom Murrays team is
even better than either the ALL Stars
OF the All Chicago mines who were de-
feated by the local aggregation and the
coming attraction promises to be the
most exciting game played at the Ham
mond Athletic Association grounds thus
far this season.
Although the team scheduled to ap-
pear next Sunday is a more experience
ed bunch of players than the local boys,
the Hammond team is prepared for such
occasions and at the rate the team has
been going previous to the coming con-
test a victory is looked for.
Pollard. the local hurler, will at
tempt to hand the Tom Murrays some
OF the same dope that has been served
to the other teams and it is probable
that his subscription list will be padded
considerably.

RICHARD SAYS BIG FIGHT WILL
Be DECIDED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Promoter Declares There Will Be No Further Switching
of the Plains for July Go.

San Francisco. May 19.-As near as
anything can be confirmed when Of
f1cial action Is yet to be taken, the
news of the switching of the Jeffries-
Johnson fight from Emeryville to San
Francisco was confirmed today.
Supervisor John l. Herget, who, I'M
der the name of Young Mitchell"
was one of San Francisco's pet pugil-
lists in years gone by, said he under
stood arrangements had been made for
the transfer of the July permit from
Griffin to Gleason and Richard. Her
get is chairman of the police commit
tee which has to do with the recon-
mending of permits. The board of city
fathers subsequently Endorses or denies
the recommendations Of the police
committee, and as matters stand, Her
get is naturally averse to being con-
sidered the last word in the connec-
ton. His manner indicated that he
felt sure the promoters would en-
counter no obstacles when the super
vtsors meet next Monday.
There are eighteen supervisors and
It is said that five Of them are op-
posed to boxing. They were not that
way all the time, as far as can be
learned and for that matter, the stand
they take is merely a feeble protest,
as the other thirteen votes are suf-
fctent to launch any praiseworthy pug
ilistio venture

son and Jeffries two Of the rebellious
five will vote for the issuance Of the
permit and its transfer to Richard In
doing so they feel that they will not
be suspected of having abandned
their position in reference to boxing
matches generally. They think the
heavyweight Championship affair one
bout in a million, and that it ought to
be encouraged When it is over and
the next permit comes up for action
they will vote on the negative side
harder than ever.
Tt is easy to be seen that the sport
ing part Of San Francisco is exulting
over the, change of venue in the jeff
ries-Johnson trial But it Is different
oh. so different, over in the little
burg of Emeryviile. The mayor of the
incorporated town which serves as a
setting for the Emeryville track was
over on this side of the bay this morn
ing to register a protest with Tex Rio
kard against being deprived of the
satisfaction of housing the fight
crowd
It is understood, too. that many of
the business men In adjacent towns
across the bay are lamenting the fact
that the fight is to take place in San
Francisco. Rickard said this morning
that he was satisfied that all his plans
were In shape and nothing could in
duce him to make another switch.

This is the first year that Hammond
has been able to boast of having a good
team. Manager Ketche1 has worked
hard to get together the best bunch of
ball players in the region and he has
certainly been successful.
With an inheld that Is as close to
being perfect as any of the semi-pro.
mines and with three in the outheld that
can cover the ground better than the
spreading OF a canvass, it is OF very
probable that any team from Chicago
will win many 1aureIs from the local
nine, unless they should solve the ball
pitched by Pollard and send it over the
fence But even then the locals have
another one that can be depended upon
to do his duty on the slab.
large crowd atteded the game last
Sunday and a much bigger one is ex-
pected at the next game. The people
of Hammond are beginning to realize
that the local aggregation is Just cap
able of putting up a game as good as
can be seen in Chicago. Game will be
called at p. m. sharp.
