Then he sinks Into a heavy stupor like sleep, from which It Is difficult to arouse him. Is Unconscious Five Hours. When Ketchel felled the boy like an ox before the butcher's mallet, Ack ley went to the mat unconscious and could not be brought back to even a semblance of life for Ave houds.

The doctors say It Is one of the worst cases of brafn con cussion without a fracture they have even known. Ackley is receiving the best of treatment, but is far from out of danger.

East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 31. (Spe cial) The East Chicago White Stars exemplified the meaning of the old adage that "revenge Is sweet" by their trimming of the Hegewisch Colts yesterday afternoon. The game was played on the local diamond before fully 800 howling fans and the splendid work of the East Chicago boys elicited a wonderful degree of applause. The score was 20 to 4, and even , at that the White Stars failed to accept the offense during the last three innings, allowing the visitors to monopolize . the entire seventh, eighth and ninth squares of the game. The winning of the game was due largely to the splendid mound duty of Hartley ard the classy base running of Pat McShane. All the local ball players with the exception of W. Fahey, who handles the left-garden, succeeded in bringing in one or more runs and gave excellent support throughout the game. The visitors put up an excellent game but were outclassed. They fought well and were obliged to acknowledge . the superiority of their opponents, being unable to blame any of the glory on Umpire Nellis or McKenna. To say that Bob Alexander Is Justly proud of his pets is to minimize his exultation. The purse of $50 was received by the boys and will help largely in the outfitting of the team for next year. "Bob" says that he will see that the boys get new suits next season and will make the finest team in Lake county. "It's great material." he says. Three-base hits, Huwig, Skelton; 2bass hits, Huwig, Johnson; struck out by Hartly, 9; by Box, 4; stolen bases. East Chicago, 7; Hegewisch, 2; bases on balls, from Hartly, 4; from Box. 2; wild pitch. Box. Umpires, Nellis and McKenna. The White Stars will play on the home diamond again next Sunday although their opponents has not yet been chosen.
