-who will cop the leadinsr berth. One
thing Is assured, that the team who
wins the crown will be the best In the
entire county. In past years every five

howl at the end of the season claiming

light-weight teams will have no kick
coming as any 125-135 pound team can
enter.

sport and coach of the Dodgers will
enter his team and ths Twin City boys

the county honors and Manager
"Chuck" Liesenfeldt ventures a word
that his players will be in the running
at the end. The N. E. Comets haven't
entered as yet but may fall in line
before the week end. While unusual
interest Is being taken by players and
fans in the coming meet. Most every
lightweight team in the county is
practicing for the American Legion
tournament .
Each player of the winning team in
the tournament will receive a beautiful
medal engraved with a basketball
while th. second team in the finals will
get a large silver loving cup. Entries

85 STATE STREET
HAMMOND, IND.
BY LiARRY GEORGE.
The referee had issued his injunc
tions relative to the observance of the
rules of Marqulst of Queensbury; then
Patsy Rocco of East Chicago and "One
Round" McGovern of the west side
walked back to their respective corners
in the temporary ring constructed in
the Elk's clubrooms of Chicago, and,
around which sat the elite of Chicago's
sportsmen. A last hurried word of
advice by the nervous seconds was
whispered, and then the timekeeper's
clang announcing the opening of the
bout rang out.
The two pugs advanced to the center
of the ring, each according to his
frame of mind McGovern, lightly,
confidentially anl almo&t rashly; Roc
co, cautiously, studiously and decidedly
wary. They shook hands, or better,
gloves, as it is customary to do in
Moyle's "Wherefore and How," then
v they stewed apart to square up for
McGovern, husky, and smiling, led
with a left to thj face; Rocco, not quite
so husky and scowling, parried. Mc
Govern stepped back and then im
mediately ' in again with .a vicious left
hook to the kiJneys, his right ready to
instantly cross over to the jaw. But
tho kidneys were not there for Patsy
had divined the ruse and had taken a
step back out of danger. ,
McGovern, somewhat piqued that
neither of hi3 blows had registered,
knit his brow in momentary con
templation; then, deciding to redeem
his "One Round" reputation before the
distinguished spectators around the
ring, he tore in with a vim that w-as
not lacking in rash determination.
Rocco, still scowling back up before
the onslaught of gloves parring and
blocking them with a skill which Mc
Govern had not counted on meeting.
The terrible West Sider, noting that
this plan of battle was to no avail,
rushed into a close clinch to regain his
lost breath and his quickly ebbing con
fidence. They came out of their embrace, u
tell-tale question mark written on the
battered mug of McGovern, and an
ominous smile overspreading the
"Wop's" map. A glance at McGovern's
face reassured him.

HARRY GIUKORE, 68
YEARS YOUNG TODAY
TO SHOW RING SKILL
Harry Gilmore, the veteran boxing
instructor, will be 68 years old today.
Does he feel young He surely does,
for listen to this:
"I'm feeling just like a kid and I can
still handle my dukes. I want to ar
range a "four round bout for po.nts
with former lightweight champion.
Battling Nelson just to show that I'm
not old. 1
Tt Vm tro ahead and match me and
I'll be there to beat these youngsters."
Then Patsy opened up. , He steppei
in and out w-ith the grace of a classi
cal dancer, feinting a light left at the
jaw with a neat precision. Another
left feint to the face brought McGov
ern s guard up, then, crash! Rocco's
right landed below McGovern's heart
He staggered, a terrified expression be
lied his pain. Rocco swung again
plunk! His left registered on McGov-
ern s falling chin. Bang! Bing!
Bung! Socko! Went home Patsy's fly
ing haymakers. -
Crash, fell IfcGovern, kissing the
canvas in an indolent sleep while the
referee tolled ten, finishing exactly
sixty seconds after the opening gong
So quickly had it happened and so
easily was it consummated that the
guests were taken back by surprise;
and, as it always occurs in such in
stances, they let out a primitive yell of
appreciation as soon as they had re
gained their equilibrium. After this
release of boyhood glee, they joyously
turned to each other all talking at
once and all asking the same questions,
"Who is this Patsy Rocco, this finish
ed boxer, this master strategist with
the kick of a Big Bertha in his mitts?"'
"Surely, ha is no legitimate third
rater to knock cut 'One Round' Mc
Govern so easily!"
'Why, McGovrn has been bowling
over all the tough ones with ease
these past six months."
"I know it, he has fifteen straight
K. O.'s to his credit ad most of them
are one rounder. Besides his manag
er, Mullen, is considered one of the
best in the, business."
"This boy must be a dark horse."
"Wow! Did you see him hit?'
And thus it went, Rocco was the ido
of the hour. Millionaires, prominent
professional men of Chicago, ring ex
perts of the country, all sought him
out to shake li is hand and to congratu
late him. Al! invariably predicted a
brilliant future for him, and all were
eager to receive him Into their midst.
Indeed, East Chicago's youthful
phenom he is only eighteen years old
and his manager, Tim O'Neil, were
accorded a homage and an admiration
that kings court in vain. Sincere and
touching, it w.is the climax to his bril
liant performance for the evening.

E. C. DODGERS
WIN POOR GAME
in a slow, slovenly, uninteresting
game the East Chicago Dodgers sham
bled an unimpressive win over the light
er Calumet Tigers last Tuesday night,
March 7, in the curtain raiser for the
East Chicago club-Big Five game -at
the McKinley gym. The final score
was 10 to 5.
What made the lemon taste more
sour to Coach Pat McSbane of the Dod
gers was the large number of fans con
gregated there, who watched the affair
with an indifference that a poor con
test always merits.
It -was featured, or rather spoiled, by'
some extremley poor shooting, and a
good deal by much uncalled for grand
stand individualism. . This is a habit
that the Dodgers players fall into when
ever thay play before a full ftuse.
notwithstanding their teachings to the
contrary. They seem to labor under
the false impression that such tactics
are indispensable to their future re
putation ir, the game.
The Dodgers have three times had
the honor to participate in the preli
maries before the crowds that the Big
.Five games have attracted in this re
gion and only once did their endeavors
opme up to the standards that the
team is capable of meeting. , This Is,
indeed, a poor average for a fi'e of
the Dodgers calibre.
Coach McShane has constantly thre
atened a shakeup if his men do not put
into effect his teachings at all times,
and it seems that it is almost neces
sary for him to follow tns expedient
in order to insure better teamwork and
less individualism in their games be
fore large houses.
