Over the course of the past three years the same couldn't be said for at least four Valparaiso city teams. In the aftermath the Indiana Steel contingent racked up their second victory as they bested McGills, 5-3, in eight Innings.

The Bearing ten was forced to call on several outsiders to field a team and would have had to forfeit to the Steelers anyway, but the latter made It official by slapping home two runs in the eighth frame. The most notable pickup was Ray Gray, pudgy city policeman, who cracked out two hits, didnt get charged with a single error and started a fast double play at his third base station. In all honesty It must be admitted the officer was a bit slow on the pickup around the bases, The teams last night played, to wooden bleachers, like as if they were the Cleveland Indians. In contrast to the large crowds of Sunday and. Monday nights, the fans stayed away in droves oh Tuesday.

Beckwith To Tangle Wed. With Burman CHICAGO, Aug. 20. Booker Beckwith, the Gary fighter who seems doomed to give away weight every time he enters the ring if he expects to campaign as a heavy weight, will be meeting his first full fledged big fellow with a national reputation when he tangles with "Red" Burman at the Chicago Stadium outdoor arena next Wednesday night, August 27th. Beckwith, who is tall enough to carry from 190 to 210 pounds," isn't built bulky enough to handle that much in good condition and it's an even bet that his slim hips and legs will keep him 180, pounds for the duration of his fighting career whether it lasts one year or ten.

Beckwith is built very much on the order of Billy Conn, Joe Choyn-skl, the famed Pole of an earlier generation, and Bob Fitzsimmons. Like all three, Beckwith possesses speed galore and more than the average amount of boxing ability. Beckwith is a better puncher than Conn, he has demonstrated that in his earlier bouts, and it was their ability ot punch as well as box that made Choynski and Fitzsimmons the dreaded, fighters they were. Choynski thought nothing of giving away from 20 to 35 pounds everytime he got in the ring and Fitzsimmons weighed under 170 pounds when he won the world's heavyweight title from Jom Corbett in 1897 and never passed 175 pounds during his ring days. It's nothing new for gret fighters to have to give away weight.

Kik McCoy, Mickey Walker, Charley Mitchell, one of England's really great fighters Tom Bayers, another Englishman, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Tommy Gibbons, now a sheriff in St. Paul and the man who was as good against Dempsey as Conn was against Louis, and Jack Dillon, the Giant Killer, all were lighter than the vast majority of fighters they opposed and Harry Greb was another who didn't care what his opponents weight was. Alert State Policeman Saves Wind-Blown Pie BETHEL, Conn (UP) No problem is too minute for the attention of the Connecticut constabulary. State Policeman Robert J. Murphy heard a woman's scream and dashed into the home of Mrs.

Joseph Leo. He saw her gazing out the second story window with a look of dismay. Officer Murphy quickly sized up the situation, and Just as quickly climbed out on the porch roof and retrieved Mrs. Leo's newly, baked pie that the wind had blown from the window sill to the rain gutter. Mental Patient Scolds Librarian for Lapse NAPA-fOCH, N.

Y. (UP) The librarian at the State Institution for Male Defective Delinquents made the mistake of reissuing the same book to an inmate after 20 years. The inmate indignantly wrote a long letter reprimanding the librarian for his lapse of memory. He concluded: "And once I have perused a book I do not want to read It again. What do you think I am, feebleminded, that I cannot remember a book I have read?" The American poet, Robert Frost, wrote for 20 years before his work became well known.

His first work to attract attention was published and a whole section scrambles ers may get itAt least HIT HARD DY ARMY CALLS BY JACK GUENTHER (United Press Staff Correspondent) PRINCETON, N. Aug. Jock Sutherland counted 22 vacant chairs in the training camp of Brooklyn's football Dodgers today and said sort of ruefully he guessed he'd have to paint hlmseii sign to this effect "Wanted: Two dozen husky men with foot ball experience and no Immediate prospect of being drafted Into military service." JOCK SUTHERLAND Less than three weeks removed from his first scheduled game, the football coaching dentist confessed that unless a few good Samaritans rustle him up some talent on the double quick he might not be able to field a team against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 9. The situation at present isn't just bad; It Is critical and there is littie chance of Improvement.

"For once I have reason for my pessimism," he said with a sickly sort of "Between, them, the selective service act and defense industries have taken away eight regulars, eight of. the best draftees and a couple of free lance players. And to top. all that, nine of the 30 men we have in camp here now are subject to call practically any day." The Brooklyn eleven has been hit harder by the selective service act than any other important sports squad in the United States. The sad news which greeted the doctor cn awakening today was that Rhoten the first string quarterback, had been in ducted at Fort Bragg, N.
