Turning In a 8 to s count, the
White Eagles of East Chicago east
ly run over the West Hammond

game. This makes a total OF six
games won in eight starts.
The Harbor lads started off with
the same peppery spirit that has
been winning their games for them.

the White Eagles were never in
danger. adding two more runs in
the fourth, and n in the sixth.
seventh and eighth.
Pat Lind had a good day. Aside
from making three pretty catches
in center field. the fleet young man
stole three bases, clouted the apple
for two clean hits and pegged a
runner out at home and third, both
times at critical moments
The same speed that has been in
evidence in the last three games by
the fast indeld. showed itself again
in Sundays tilt. and the pep and
manner in which these young speed
demons perform on the diamond not
only encourages their pitcher. but
draws the attention of their oppo-
nents and hostile rooters. who time

and again applauded to show their
appreciation. The only time the
White Eagles were threatened in
the whole fracas was In the sixth
inning when with tone gone the
West Hammond outfit loaded the
bases. Kowalski hit a hot one to
Fischer. who returned 1t to He'd
wall. forcing the runner. Hedwall
Immediately shot the pill to Fischer
in time to nip the runner. This
wound up all chances for West
Hammond to catch the White
Eagles.
Every one on the White Eagle
roster enjoyed a hit. an instance
seldom seen in everyday ball
games. Levin played his same bril-
liant game IN left field. while Batch
elor had an unusual day at short,
pulling down four pop flies, one far
back of third base Cant accepted
four chances cleanly. while Hedwall
nicked three runner at the plate.

dee and Harry Greb. the e~nterpris.
ing Paddy Mullens is about to re-
quest the commission to take SINH
lar action on behalf of Harry Wills
and his challenge to Jack Dempsey
He will post a certified check with
the commission as evidence Of good
faith and will then sit back and
await results.
If the commission Is at all con-
sistent. it will Immediately demand
that Dempsey accept the challenge
within a specified period or have his
title championship declared auto
matically vacated
This was the official edict in the
cases OF Dundee and Kilbane and

lengers referred to are pleased to
claim the Caucasian race as their
own, while Wills ds a brunette of

tactily ranged itself behind all box

ear that champions develop with
amazing facility as soon as they fall
heir to a title
That Mullens' proposed action
will be now seems assur-

has no intention OF meeting the
black with any degree Of haste. Ac-
cording TO Floyd Fitzsimmons. who
might be termed the official mouth

ROCCO
WILL AGAIN DISPLAY
HIS CLASS
BY LARRY GEORGE

Patsy Rocco. Tim O'Neil's rising
welterweight. will again display his
class Thursday night, June 18th, at
the Summer Gardens of West Ham
mond. He will exchange compli-
ments with Lake county's next best
offering in the 142 pound school,
Frank Hiplock. of Hammond.
Patsy is now in the prime con-
dition that a month of white heat
training will produce. He was pref
ty close to perfection last Friday
night al Szabo Hall when he knock.
ed out the tough Charley Trembley,
of Roseiand. in the fifth session OF
a scheduled ten round battle. And
he claims hat he has maintained
that perfection for this fight.
Hiplock goes into the ring high
~ recommended by his admirers. A
few of his more imaginative follow
ers circulated the yarn that Ham
mond was wagering 2 to 1 against
in the ring with Frank after the
fourth.
This story reached East Chicago
the other night and there immed-
lately followed a grand rush for Ham
mond-not by spectators or gam
blers looking for a set-up but by in
vestors of even the more conserva-
tive type. However. their efforts
yielded only their carfare and the
trouble OF going over. There were
no bets to be found. >
After sizing UP an armload of
opinions gathered from both sides
of Columbia avenue, the recapitula-
ton favors an early round knock
out. And the popular verdict points
a threatening finger at Hiplock-
Yet. the ups and downs OF the
game may make sport Of common
belief. Both boys sock hard enough
to put a heavyweight away. And IT
may be Franks good fortune to go
his in before Patsy does.
Whichever way fate or the devil

go down for certain: That Hiplock
Will face IN Rocco one of the tough

class today. Old. experienced heads
