HOT G1E AT HARBGR WINDS UP !!!

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 15. The game of ball yesterday between the Shamrocks of Chicago and the Independent Athletics of the Harbor was a corkinpr fine one if it did wind up In a row. The fiprht was not very serious, however, although it looked for a minute as thouph there might be tnir.gs doin?:- V'hcn Sternberg crossed the homo plate with the winning run in the ninth inning Burr.s, the catcher for th" Fhfm rocks, hit him in the slats with th. ball and was handed one in th jaw for his pains. After the smoke had cleared away the catcher explained that he had no intention of hittinc Matt with the ball and that it was an accident, so everybody shook hands with everybody else, inciudinp the police, and in a few minutes the incident was closed. !'or seven innings both sides were Manked, the locals petting- a man a blanked, the loca'.s not even getting" a man to first base and only four of the virimrs had an opportunity of getting: acquainted with Johnson. Humphrey for the Shamrocks opened the eighth with what appeared to be a foul, but the umpire called it a fair ball and the runner was safe on third base. Ivers, the next man up. singled and the long line of goose eggs was broken when Humphrey crossed .h" plate. Ivers viiv promptly stole second and scored liter on a nice hit by Burns. That r r.terJ the run-getting c.f the Chlcagorr.s. but the Harborites were yet to be heard from. Sternberg was the first NEWS OF THE 'ri-w".i Point, Ind.. June 15. Real f.ic! spl::3 in preparation for the great c.it.o:v,c bile races to be held on Friday arc! giif.if.lay next over the Crown I :i.-.i. co use, were taken today, for the first time since the motorists pitched their camps about the course that is to v itr.vs the Inception of the "western Y:irii. Tbilt," otherwise the Cobe raop. and t.i Indiana trophy contest. Th'- pr .injT. however, was not marked by anything out of the ordinary, as the forty pupils from the Chicago school of motoring were unequal to the task of properly flagging the twenty-tYiree and one-third miles of macadarr.. Workmen were still busy on different parts of the road, and while the drivers hit it up in the good parts, they showed some diffidence at the least fit portions of the course, and none of them tritd for records. Some speeded up the second lap. but! they all were Indiana trophy candidates, the big fellows evidently being content to jog around with occasion sprints to relieve the monotony. The dockers in the timers' stand were rewarded, however, for their watch by catching the time of five of the cars. Of these Matson. In the Chalmers-Detroit, did the best in 27:0S. Knipper in another Chalmers did 27:16 and Poole in a third Chalmers clocked 27:1S. Monsen in the JTarlon did 32:30. and Wiseman in a Stoddard joggfd in in 41:30. All the Chicago papers have newspaper reporters and staff artists on the grounds now and they will remain until after the big race is pulled off. Several eastern papers have sent auto ex-f-pert reporters to the scene. Every train into this city today brought fresh delegations to attend the races. Likewise there was a bewildering stream of automobile , parts disgorged from every express car. This was not due to breakages of the racing cars, but to the zealouness of the drivers, who never cease, apparently, in replacing one part with another in the "tuning up" process. Grimy machinists work ceaselessly grooming the cars as if the machines were thoroughbred horses, while the pilots supervise with brooding eye, occasionally making a suggestion or remarking pessimistically concerning the course. Much enthusiasm is being expressed over the course at the Chalmers-Detroit camp, located near Lowell. Despite the criticisms of some of the eastern drivers, Billy Knipper, Al Poole and Joe

man up and singled paat second base. He didn't waste any time on first and was soon legging for second, which point he reached in safety. Riley, the hard-hitting little third baseman, then came to bat and the crowd begged and implored him to do something for home and fireside. He me tthe second ball pitched squarely on the nose for a nice two-bagger, scoring Sternberg and reaching third himself on the throw home. Kord struck out, but Barney singled, scoring Riley, and the score was tit?d. The next two men went out on infield hits and the inning was over. The Shamrocks got three goose eggs in a row for their share of the ninth. The Harbors did better. With two men gone and blue uniforms: perched on second and third. Riley came to bat. The crowd reminded him of what he had done before and assured him of their confidence in his ability to repeat. This confidence was not misplaced for he landed the ball In almost the same spot as before, and the game was won. It's a shame, but true, that a man named Riley was the cause or the undoing of the Shamrocks. The final score was: Indiana Harbor, 1; Chicago Shamrocks, 2. The lineup as follows: Independent Athletics Little, Krickson, Rumo, Sternberg, Riley, Ford, Barney, Galvin, Johnson. Shamrocks Ivers, Burns Duff, Gosley, Hermody, Wright, Delso, Dolvo, Humphrey. Batteries Indiana Harbor, Ford and j Galvin; Shamrocks, Delvo and Burns. AUTO RACES Matson each state that the course is better in some stretches over which some of the bigger contests have been held on the Atlantic seaboard. Knipper, whose pluck took the Chalmers-Detroit into the City of Mexico from Denver in the late Ilag-toflag expedition, said yesterday: "I certainly cannot see anything to kick about. The course is as fair for one as for another and will prove fast. I believe that In the small car race the average will be from forty-five to fortynine miles, and may reach fifty. The course requires careful driving, to be sure. One thing is certain: It is an improvement on the Briarcliff course." "Eddie" Hearne, the Chicago driver, who is entered with a Flat in the Cobe cup race, yesterday put his car in shape for the struggle. Manager Harry Clinton of the local Fiat agency, supplied Hearne with the necessary parts for the car which wss crippled during a recent practice, and chances are Hearne will try out the flyer this morning. Arthur W. Greiner, the local amateur, is working on his Renault studying its peculiarities before he lets himself out. AH but three of the cars had reported at the course last evening. Two of these are the Appersons and the other Is the Ford. The Appersons with their drivers, Joe Seymour and Herbert Lytic, will come in this morning, it is said, but so far nothing official has been heard regarding the little Ford, which will be handled by George Dunnell. Early birds who camped along the course during the morning credited Lewis Strang with some brilliant feats in his Indiana trophy racer. He was caught one round in 24:15 and another in 24:20. while his team mate, Louis Chevrolet, is said to have fractured both marks. It must be taken into consideration that the practice yesterday afternoon was not under ideal conditions. In the first place, General Executive Trego had only a few of his eighty flagmen on the job at 2 o'clock, so the course was poorly policed. Then r.galn the workmen still were busy on the roads, while over on the east leg material still was being delivered at the grand stand. The auto races, as far as most people in this communitv are concerned is a hazard and the money Invested by citizens in an effort to turn a penny is a lottery. If the crowd that has been estimated at 300,000 down to 100,000

RACE. makes an appearance nearly every one will win out. but if it's only ten or twenty thousand, many are bound to lone money on their ventures. Forty flagmen arrived yesterday to be present on the race course during the rest of the trial spins of the races before the big races. The town now Is assuming a carnival aspect and hundreds of strangers are already domiciled here. Sheriff Tom Grant has already engaged twenty-five deputies to do duty during the auto races and the community will be well cared for with the extra policemen employed by the town. A large squad of plain clothes men will also be on the ground and a sorry time is in store for the graft erand the crook if they get too obstreperous. Lowell. Ind.. June 15. Lowell is beginning to fill up with strangers to witnes sthe auto races. With favorable weather it is estimated that fifty thousand or more people will be in Lowell alone and as many or more will be scattered out in the country along the course from Creston around to Tremont Nichols. Lowell has the best view points and is located where the fastest speed will be made. And everything Is being put in readiness to entertain an enormous multitude of people at Lowell and out in the country districts. ANOTHER' FOR EAST CHICAGO Fast Chicago pulled themselves out of a hole last Sunday t5" bunching hits in the fifth inning. With a score of 4 to 1 agair.st them, Greene opened with a single, went to third on Klucker's hit and scored on Hascall's hit to left. Four tallies were chalked up in this inning, making the score 5-4. In the sixth two more were added, putting the game on ice. Hammond made a their half of the ninth and netted three runs, but a fine throw by Livingston cut off a man at the plate and ended Hammond's only hope for a victory.

count "was 7 to 5. but Chicago should have had the game. Ed Walsh started to do the pitching, but was taken out after two runs were made off him in the third and Bill Burns was pushed into his place. Bill lasted just one round, but in that inning the highlanders made five runs just enough to win for them. Lou Fiene then took the center of the stage ,and stopped the' home talent from getting another run for the last four rounds of the game. GRIFFITH'S FIRST DEFEAT THIS YEAR Another fair game of ball was played ! on the Griffith grounds Sunday, Grlf- j fith Jrs. vs. Highland Jrs., with the result of a score of 12 to 10 in favor of Highlands. !

This Is Griffith's first defeat of the season after playing eight games. ANDERSON LOSES BOUT i A newspaper dispatch from Memphis, j Tenn., says: "Mark Anderson of Hammond was surprised by Jimmy Howard of Memphis last night in their bout at the Phoenix Athletic club. Howard was given the decision at the end of elgTit rounds. He was substituted for Jimmy Gardner, who sprained a hand in a recent bout." Whether the dispatch means Carl Anderson of Hammond is another thing, as there is a Mark Anderson and a Carl Anderson'as well. MATCH CAPONI AND ANDERSON Aurora. 111., June 15.
