THE UUU: UMA11A, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1921. ) Up - to - Three Indiana Towns Combine To Stage Big Boxing Matches , By FRANK G. MENKE. TRIO of towns now is striving to make theirs a mecca of fistic battle grounds. East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Gary all grouped in Indiana, just about 16 to 20 miles from Chicago are extending a real lure to ring men in every branch of the sport. The forma tion of the Twin City Athletic club led to the building of the arena, which comfortably seats close to 12,000, making it probably the largest outdoor affair in America, barring the Rickard place in Jersey City. TU ,1..k I.. .,n;n nr mnr than a year, has put in some choice tid-bits in a warlike way but it now becomes more ambitious and aims to stage championship tussles in every branch of the game. Gives Youngsters Chance. "lint, in addition to that, we alsf want to make the Twin City Athletic club a fpot where youngsters will pet a real chance to display their wares," tieclared 11. A. Hya.ns, the promoter. ''It's been our experience that fight crowds delight in seeing youngsters with real ability in action. Wc want to givi the kids, as well as the big stars of the ring, a chance to earn money and glory out in our towns. "It will be possible for us to put on perhaps three of four more shows before the weather gets a bit too cool for outdoor fighting. Just now we are angling for some of the cham pions to headline our various cards. But we likewise want to catch some 'comers' too. So any manager who has a boy that has shown something ieal1y worth while can write to me at the Mohawk hotel, Indiana Har bor, Ind., and we'll give the best of them a chance to show what they've got. Not Financial Gain. "The champions of tomorrow are the obscure youngsters of today. The only way they can get the op portunity to show their greatness is by appearance before real crowds. The Twin City Athletic club will ac cord such a chance to every kid who has displayed something worth while: something that may warrant a general belief that with more ex perience he will race along to the crest of his division." . The club, backed by some of the wealthiest men in the Gary-East Chicago-Indiana Harbor district, is com posed of real sportsmen. The men behind it brought the organization into existence not because they were prompted by the thought of financial gain, but because they wanted to have in their neighborhood a real fight club and a real arena. Just now the organization is ang ling for Jack Dempsey, Tom Gib bons and also Mike Gibbons. If iJ can get all three then each of them, with an opponent, will star the next three , shows which are to be put on through September and October.

Neilson, secretary of the soc cer league, believes that the league can be enlarged to include eight teams. Woman's Tennis Ch ampionship of World Will Be Decided in U. S.

Essex Further Leads All in Its Class Everybody has always classed Essex with costly cars in perform ance, endurance and appearance. It combines with those quali ties the economy of light cars, in fuel, oil and tires. Thousands of owners report as high as twenty-five thousand miles of service with scarcely any maintenance cost. More than fifty thousand Essex cars are in service. For the per formance and endurance given, Essex had no rival at its last year's price of $1,795. What can approach it today with this saving of $420. At lower prices than they have ever sold for, you can get either a Super Six or an Essex this year and have the best months in which to enjoy it.
