Oi COLTS LOSE TO GROWN POINT YESTERDAY

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Aug. 23. Nine Juicy lemons did the Hammond Colts bring down To hand to the players of the Center township town, Nine Juicy lemons did the Hammond team take back. For in the handing out of lemons, the Colts have lost the knack. Hammond's "frisky" Colts invaded the green pastures and fields, known as the stamping ground of the Crown Point base-ball club, yesterday, and what was done to the "friskies" in question, would take an extra page of the Times to narrate. The erst-while Colts, that have cavorted around the many diamonds in Lake County and kicked the dust into the eyes of their opponents, time and time again, were corralled, haltered, broken and made nice little truck-horses before the end of the eighth stanza, when the "dear old Erie" hove in sight and gave the hy little Colts a chance to "beat it for oats" before the Crown Point team had loaded them with a score, that even a pack mule would have groaned under. Crown Point never had much to thank the Erie for, and yesterday was no exception, but nine weary Colts never relished a ride in a perfectly nice stock-car, more than the same number of skittish ball players did yesterday in a coach of the 4:20 Erie. 9 to 6 tells the tale of slaughter and but for the untimely appearance of the Erie, an extra digits could have been placed before the 9 to tell the score of the Crown Point team, for the manner in which they landed on the "soliva balls" of one McMahon, in the last three stanzas made the "hickory stick" think it was all the -business. 14 nice hits were made off the selfsame McMahon, while 4 were all the Colts were able to shew of the presestations of Henning. It was an interesting game up to fifth verse, when Crown Point began to larrup McMahon, then it was "two old cat" in any back lot with the choice of the "friskies," being in their dear old Hammond. The official score and summary of the game tells the tale of the breaking of the mighty Colts. Hammond R Enright, rf 2 White, 2b 0 P.oyle, lb l Freidmyer, c 0 H 1 1 0 0 A E 0 0

UTO RAGING AT SPEEDWAY

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 23. One hundred miles for each driver will be the limit hereafter in the long distance races at the Indianapolis motor speedway. When that distance has been covered, the car will stop and a new driver and a new mechanician will take their places on the steel steed, oniy to give way to others when they complete their century of miles. It is generally believed that the seasoned and experienced driven can well stand the strain, at any speed attainable, for a hundred miles, and this is all that will be expected of him. There are to be no more accidents at the speedway that can be attributed to sudden exhaustion or injury of drivers from a long and grueling race. These are not A. A. U. rules and may not lie exactly sanctioned by that body, but they are the rules that are to prevail sU the speedway hereafter and were determined upon today following the fatalities of the closing day at the first meeting. The speedway officials were pleased with the smashing of so many world's records at the new track, but the fearful cost of human life led to the drasticv action in regard to the rules. There may be other changes later which wifl tend to greater safety. Carl Fisher, president of the Speedway company, said: "Loss of life at the contests must be OLD STYLE LAGERS H Take Easy Victory From the Hammond Athletics Score 13 to 2. There was howling and gnashing of tteth on the bleachers of the Hammond Athletic Associations ball ground yesterday afternoon, when the Old Style Lagers of West Hammond walked away with a victory of 13 to 2 The storm broke on the H. A. A. in fury in the fourth when the enemy made its attack on the club boys' weak point, third base. This is not meant to be an excuse for having lost the game, but it might be interesting to recall some of the leading factors that ct ntributed to the defeat. The H. A. A. played the game with five of its regular men off on a vacation. Furthermore they had to use a pitcher who had pitched a strenuous game in the forenoon. What Iloen Hook of Utile Say? Two fumbles of easy grounders gave the Old Style Lagers 3 of their runs. They scored consistently and heavily up to the seventh inning. They now had twelve runs, to which was added another in the penultimate period, making the fatal 13 runs. In connection with the run brought in in the

The Colts quit the game in the eighth with Crown Point up to bat. Tho crowd began to yell "quitters" and It is the rrivate opinion of many that had they been winning, the Erie train would have left town without 9 Hammond base-ball players. 9 lemons were to be presented to Arter and Eder of the Crown Point team by the nifty (?) Colts Later reports say the lemons were not presented. Hennings three bagger started the slaughter of the innocents After that it was "swat" and run. E. Koschnicke made four pretty hits off McMahon, and fourteen in all were gleaned off the visiting twirler before "time to quit." The crowd were disgusted with the failure of the visitors to finish the game, and should they ever return, the gate receipts can be carried somewhat easier than yesterday. prevented and we wil insist on the new rule at all future contests." Charles H. Merz, the National driver, who survived tho accident o Saturday which claimed three victims, was little tlie worse for his experience physically today, but was bowed with grief for his mechanician and the two spectators. He attributed the disaster to the condition of the track. 'At the short stretches at either end of the track," he said, "too much oil had been applied and the track was slippery near the pole. During the early part of the race I kept well in, but one lap I skidded so dangerously that I tried it near the outer edge. It was not so slippery there, but rather rough. The severe jolting, I think, caused my tire to explode and then It was nil up with me. "Even the long stretches were far too rough; all the drivers complained of it. It was really a road race. I do not think that it is necessary to limit future races to 100 miles. Drivers can go 300 miles all right, but the track should be in good condition. I had a bad experience, but I shall drive again." It is the plan now to run the 300mile race over again at the next meeting, which will be held some time next month, but it will in all probability be run under the new ru'e. The injured at the hospitals are recovering and no further deaths are expected. eighth inning, Schultz, the Old Style Lager umpire according to the H. A. A. bugs, is said to have given a splendid exhibition of what an umpire will do when he wants to go the limit. The II. A. A. ask this hypothetical question : A pitcher catches his spikes in the beard used for the pitcher's box and gets a bad wrench, so bad that he is urable to deliver the ball. Would that be a balk, especially when there are no runners on the bases. And in case it is a balk, would that entitle a batter who has three strikes against him, his base? If there is an affirmative to the answer all who are interested in this decision would be glad to have it pointed out to them. Old StjW, Piny Good Hall. But that is not saying that the Old Style Lagers did not win the game. They did, and they did some remarkably good playing. Potis in center field made the star play of the day In arresting a suspicion, bare suspicion, Mafman's great hit which had an appearance of guilt, but looked good for a homer. Neither can it be laid to the pitchers for not one of the 13 runs was earned, while one of the H. A. A.'s was earned. In spite of Geib's playing at third he made a great catch of a foul fly by Hildebrad and another play by Smith running clear through to the crowd, and the taking In a foul fly by Lewandoski was fast playing.

KENSINGTON TEAM WINS

OVER ST, JOES The St. Joseph's club playing with a hoodoo hovering over them for nine long innings lost to the St Lewis Athletic club of Kensington by a score of 9 to 4. Mishaps and errors were due to the defeat of the St Joseph club, who were no match for the Kensington team, and though the St. Joe boys new that they were up against a daisy team, it was a return match which could not be avoided. Nearly every one in the team were crippled in some way during the game, some kicked themselves while others were satisfied by being hit by the ball or by falling down in. an effort to get It. Errorn Help Visitor. Though the Kensington team retted nine runs off Wheeler who was on the slab for the locals, it was not his fault that the game was lost. Ten hits were made off Wheeler two of which were scratch hits but the eight errors were responsible for most of the runs only four of tho tallies being earned by the visitors. Klein Star for l.nenl Klein played a star game at short for the locals, though he made one bad throw to first, every other bounder that came his way was dead He also made one of the four runs which were scored by the Hammond nine. The Kensington team started to score in the opening round when after one man was down, Dorty was given a life' by a wild throw to first by Bohling. Leo then singled sending Dorty to third who afterwards scored on a long fly to left field by beating Engletons throw to the plate Lemaire hit past third for a single sending Leo to third who afterwards took home on a wild throw, and Lamalre caught trying to go to second on the play.

Fishing for the bearded cod claimed the attention of the most of them. Sheckard, Overall. Howard, Hofman and Archer went down to Boston Light on a launch to try their luck and returned in the afternoon to report ony fah- luck. Zimmerman and Stanley angled aboard one of the fishing boats, which for a dollar will take you out for an all-day trip and furnish everything except fish. When they returned to the hotel they said the only sure enough bite they got was when they found bones In their chowder. Manager Chance and Secretary Williams spent the day at Revere Beach, while HJgginbotham, Ragon and the others, except Moran. who went to Fitehburg for the day, loafed around the hotel or in the near-by parks.
