GARY 1EH LOSES IN THRILLER AT SOUTH BEND

The Gary team was downed Saturday la their game at South Bend by the Central league seconds by the score of 4 to 3. There was no disgrace in the defeat, far be it from it in fact, the Garry fellows put up a magnificant tlrtight exhibition with the exception of the first inning, before the Gary men struck their stride, and in the ninth, when Muilalley, disheartened by adverse decisions of the umpire, thought he would have to lose the game in spite of himself, passed four men and hit one. The South Bend team did not secure an earned run, and Gary's three runs were all driven in by clean hits. The ninth Inning was one of the most heartbreaking Innings ever witnessed by a loyal fan. Muilalley had been practically Invincible up to this time, giving but three passes and allowing but two hits. After striking out the first two men up and having the umpire call them all balls, the Gary twirler took his revenge out on the next man up and hit him square on the back on the next ball pitched. This filled the bases and another pass issued on some more bad umpiring brought in the tieing run. The most peculiar Incident of the game was, when with none out, Muilalley got two strikes and three balls on the next man up. Just as he was about to throw the deciding ball his hat fell off, and to prevent a balk had to throw the ball anyway and under the circumstances he was not able to steer it in the right direction. The South Bend team won their game Sunday through the generosity of the umpire and the assistance of the Gary team at crucial moments. A crowd of 25 rooters accompanied the Gary team to South Bend Sunday on the interurban. The rain when the team started accounts for the fact that there were not over 100 to take the trip. Upon the arrival of the delegation at South Bend, however, the weather cleared off and the day wa the EAST CHICAGO CALUMETS LOSE GAME The Columbia League defeated the East Chicago Calumets in fine style on Sunday afternoon by a score of 7 to 3. The game was played at the state line grounds in Hammond. The game was one of the finest ever played on these grounds and probably was an honor to the grounds. The game was close up to the seventh inning, the score being 3 to 2 in favor of th V.nst Chicaeo Calumets. In the seventh the C. C. L.'s started a rally which was long expected by the fans who witnessed the game, and in this rally they scored two runs, making the ecore 4 to 3 in their favor. But in the next Inning they made up their mind to clinch the game, and did so by scoring three more runs. It was in the first of the ninth that the East Chicago team did their funny work. Seeing that if they couldn't win the game fair they would try some of their numerous schemes, which were plotted by their manager. In this ninth inning one of the East Chicago players made a clean 6ingle to right field, and after him the manager came to bat. He knocked a grounder to First Baseman Smith of the C. C. L.'s and Horst covered first and put out the runner. The umpire called the runner out, but they said they would not give it. Then the rag chewing started, and after a long time the East Chicago team, rather than lose the purse which was up on the game, went back to East Chicago. In talking with Captain Horst of the C. C. L-'s he said: "As long as they played ball it was not likely that the East Chicago Calumets would get an other game with them, and that he would advise other teams to keep from getting a challenge from such a bunch of quitters." The lineup for the Columbia League was: J. Horst, c; E. Horst, p; Smith lb; Scherer, ss; Dalkamp, 2b; Bowman, 3b; Schneider, If; Voss, cf; J. Horst, rf. BREAK EVEN AT PLYMOUTH Hammond Cubs Win and Lose Down the Line. The Hammonds broke even in a twogame series with Plymouth, which was played at Plymouth, one blng playtd on Saturday in which the Hammond Cubs were defeated by a score of 4 to 1, and the other game was played on Sunday, in which the Hammond Cubs defeated the locals by a score of 4 to 0. The Hammond Cubs is the best team In Hammond and therefore represents the city in the baseball line. The team is showing good form and it is thought that it will make a good showing with the rest of the Lake county baseball

finest that could have been ohosen for baseball. The story of the first inning, the only one In which Gary scored, is as follows. Jackson, the first man to bat drew a pass. Shepherd sacrificed him to second, out. Yena to Schock. Jackson went to third on a passed ball. Grennan then waited for four wide ones after which he stole second. "With a man on second and third Grimes hit a pretty single into right field scoring Jackson and Grennan.

A party of aspiring baseball athretes came all the way from the Lake Shore railroad offices In Cleveland yesterday to do battle with the office team of the I. H. Belt and flunked out. "What do you know about such a flunk anyway? Talk about your "weak sisters." When the bunch came in they looked at the new baseball grounds which the local bays had worked night and day to get in shape near the boulevard district and shook their heads. They looked at the burly bunch ready to do battle with them and shook their heads some more. Then they took the next train back to Cleveland. Wouldn't that give you chills and ague?
