MS FIRST, AT NEW PARK

With the count 2 to 1 against the Hammond boys, and with only one more chance left to win out, Rohde turned what seem defeat into victory by opening: the ninth inning with a single that afterwards proved disastrous to the Chicago All Stars, who had so successfully vheld the home team to one lone tally up to the last stanze. The game ended with the score 3 to 2 in favor of the home team. The home boys played a brilliant game and a better bunch of ball players could not be secured from Hammond. Pollard easily cutpitched his opponent and was in only one bad hole during the game, that being in the fourth inning when he went up for but one inning and issued three passes; but with perfect support behind him he pulled out of the hole without much damage being done, only one man crossing the rubber in that inning. Hammond Scores First Ron. JL small but enthusiastic crowd had gathered to' witness the opening game of the season. The locals started things rolling in their half of the first. Rohde was the first man to bat and ripped a single through short and toofe second on a passed ball. Pierson filed out to left, McCay singled sending Rohde to third and Fowler scored him with a double to center, advancing McCay to third. With only one man down it looked as it the home boys would get another run, but all hope died out when McCay attempted to steal home and was caught in the act. Boyle ended the inning with a liner to short. Nothing happened so far as scoring was concerned until the fir3t of the third, when the All Stars scored a tally. With one man down, Ward swaned the pill ever the left fielj fer.ee foi a homer; the longest drive of the day. The other two men were easy victims for the home team. Again in the fourth the Chicago nine scored another run, but the tally was handed to them this time. Poi'ard appeared to be wild at the opening of the fourth and Issued two passes to begin the inning. Marvin, first baseman for the visitors, drove the sphere on a line to left field too low for Buhring to to catch, but the latter fielded the ball perfectly and made a fine peg to the plate, cutting off the runner. Pollard walked another man and then tightened up and fanned Bela. Bersing got In the way of the ball and the man on third came home'with the second tally. Ward smashed a sodbusted to Rohde, who relayed the pill to Boyle for the last out. Rohde Started Timely Rally. Everything went along smoothly until the last inning, when Rohde started a timely rally with his single. The crowd on the bleachers left their seats and began cheering the home boys. It now looked good for them and when Pierson followed with a bunt and beat it out it was apparent that they would tie the score, if not beat it. McCay sent a slow grounder to the pitcher, who fumbled, and' all three men perched on the sacks. Fowler flied to Marvin at first for the first out. Bersing, the Chicago hurler, issued to pass to Boyle and Rohde came In with the tally that tied the score. Smith sent a fast grounder to short and whirlwind Pierson beat it for home as fast as he knew how and beat the ball to the plate, the throw being low, with the tally that won the game. The score: All Stars. AB. R. H. P. A.

WEST ENDS TRIMMED Before one of the largest crowds that ever assembled at West Hammond to witness a game, the West Ends went down to defeat in a close and interesting game by a score of 3 to 2, losing to the St. Cassmers. The game proved to be intensely interesting, but the two tallies given to the St. Cassmers and the one made later on In the game was too much of a lead for the West Ends to overcome. The West End diamond Is in fine shape now, about one hundred loads of dirt being dumped on the field and rolled last week. ADVERTISE AND ADVERTISE AGAIN IN tkk TIMES.

THE FIRST

OF SEASON The first season of the IndianaMichigan league opened, auspiciously yesterday afternoon, it being the biggest day for the national pastime that northern Indiana and Southern Michigan has ever seen. Big crowds attended all of the games, giving assurance of -good support throughout the season. The real source of joy ,ohwever, from a Gary standpoint was that Gary got away with the first game by the score of 7 to 0. It was worth the price of admission, car fare to Niles and all incidental expenses to see the Gary men work. Manager Sam Sax under the able guidance of Jimmy Daugherty has gathered together what is beyond a doubt the fastest aggregation of ball players Lake county has ever produce!. The men were strong in overy department of the game, and their work was so classy in fact. that Niles fans accused Gary of importing the Cubs to the peach Jbelt for the opening game. Not only did the Gary men open the season at Nlles, but they dedicated the new ball park which Manager Fred Marshall has had erected for the league in that city. In spite of the threatening weather 1,000 fans rooted for the local nine in vain to start the season with a 1.000 per cent Instead of the three 0's without the one before It. which fell to their fate. With Gary as the big drawing card at Niles, Berien Springs opened up at Elkhart before the banner crowd ' of the opening day. At Senator Proctor's (also president of the league) home town over 2,000 fans crowded the park to back- up the team which is expected to be, excepting Gary, the strongtest team in the league. They were assisted in their noise making by a big brass band. At Ligonier there was also a big time enjoyed by fandom and the event was equally as big a success. As to the details of the game, it was evident from the start that the men were plainly nervous, this 4e!ng largely responsible for the nine errors which were accredited to their side. They were, however, by far a better bunch of players than the box score would Indicate, and with seasoning should put up a good game with any team in the league. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the Gary men, as they were fast'in" the field, accurate in throwing, fast on bases, resourceful, proved good hitters, and Benighfs pitching was clever. The season started off with Grannan the first man to bat. He was retired at first as were also Geofhegan and Eberllng in quick succession. In the Niles half of the first inning Sanders, the first man to face Benight, got on first, but he was also the last one that inning, as Gary men had little trouble in disposing of the next three. The big feature of the game was the home run of Eberllng, who knocked the ball in the sixth inning clear over the center field fence for a home run, a feat which will probably never be duplicated on those grounds during the remainder of the season. The hit brought the Niles fains to their feet with tumultous and well-earned applause. Another feature was the wonderful catch made by Williams in right field when he ran back to the fence in the sixth inning and made a running one-handed catch of a fly that looked good for three bases. Gary's battery was noticeably strong. Only three safe hits were made off of "Benight and none of them for extra bases. The Gary man showed-' good speed and splendid control. Not only did he pitch well, but he fielded in splendid form, never failing to get his man at first when they attempted to bunt. McLane caught a splendid game. His work was clean cut, his throwing to second was perfect, so that Niles soon learned that there was no chance to steal on him, and in addition to that he secured two clean hits. Lewellyn played a fast and clean game at first, besides, the feat of call hing a foul after sprinting considerable distance. Jackson made the second hardest hit of the day by slamming out a long two-base hit to right field, scoring McLane. He also made a pretty one-handed stop of a high throw to third, which staved off , an impending run. The score: Gary. H. R. P. A. E.

' I 'HE value of a Bell telephone is particuA larly evident in emergency situations. It opens a quick way to relief. Accidents, delays, hurried departures, unexpected arri-. vals, sickness, fire, burglary all come in this category.Time, money, convenience often life itself depend upon prompt communication Relief may be in sight, or a thousand miles away. It matters not. The Local and Long Distance Bell Telephone can be used in either situation.

PIBATES Ifj DRIVE, 7-4, KLIfiG DONS SPANGLES Sweeping from behind in a furious, relentless, rally when defeat seemed the surest thing you know, those infuriated world's, champs smothered the leaderless Cubs yesterday, winning the final bout on the west - side, 7 to 4. Rocky support astern the ready rescuer, Mr. Brown, a bit of timely swatting and Jack Flynn's homer Into the left field stand applied the heart-breaking finale after King Cole, ably supported by our old college pal, Johnny Kling, had worked the soft, soft pedal in flawless fashion for seven rounds. Manager Chance, who lay suffering with a heavy cold at his home in Edgewater, ordered Kling into the combat, and the roar that emanated from Murphy's park when the boisterous backstop assumed his old position must have echoed around the loop. John is back, his arm is- as strong as of yore, and the wise old noodle fairly bristled with bright ideas, tending to keep the Pirates on their good behavior after reaching first. But the pool playing thespian didn't have a chance to break into the hit columns. NAPS BEAT SOX, 2-0, BASE ON BALLS FATAL Passes in baseball should be barred the same as they are by the federal government. One of these apparently insignificant gifts brought defeat to the White Sox yesterday, the Naps dangling to the long end of a 2-to-0 count. Had Smith cut Kreuger off his free list in the first round how different things might have been. For then LaJoie's wallop might have been wasted. Now the Sox are further than ever from tht. coveted .500 mark. Outside of the initial inning Smithy was in superb working order. In the last eight chapters he allowed the sum total of one hit, that being off the bat of his rival, Falkenberg. He had three and two onFalk when the tail, slender, lathlike heaver almost shocked himself into paralysis by Texas leaguing into center field. BORIS SAYS JEFF IS IP SHAPE Jeffries' Training Camp, Rowardennan, Cal., May 9. Big Jim Jeifries has consciously filled into a new and fairly well fixed training routine. The scheme of toil which Jeffries has lately adopted is to alternate the hard working days and the light working days. One day Jeffries spreads about half a full day's work over the entire twenty-four hours and on the following day he finds his strength and ginger at a high water mark and plunges Into a long stretch of hard work with a great zest for it. Saturday was, a great day of work. In fact Jeffries' trainers look upon it as the best day he has yet had. He worked long ajid hard and finished happy in spirits and unwearied in body. To keep the big fellow in that mood and forestall the possibility of his going stale, his trainers advised a strict adherence to the Saturday half-holiday scheme. "Jim's improvement in condition the

last few days- has been wonderful," said Farmer Burns. "He could be in the best condition he has ever been in his life at the end of two weeks. It would take him only about seven or eight days to take off whatever extra weight he may -have and to dry out. Then a few days more to round him off fine and give him a good rest before going into the ring and he would be fit to fight the greatest battle of his life. PACKET TO MEET , FREDDY WELSH - London, May 9. At , the National Sporting club, on the night of May 30, Packey McFarland and Freddy Welsh meet to dispute twenty rounds for $1,000 a side and the club's purse of ?7,500, the second largest purse ever given by that organization. McFarlan4 is already putting In a little light work for the battle, being quartered at Jack Straw's castle on the top of Hampstead Heath. It is the most desirable training place around London, Tommy Burns having been its discoverer. Burns trained there for his fights with Roche and Palmer. Packey has made himself very popular in Lon don, and particularly among the mem-. bers of the National Sporting club, many of whom hope that he will take a reef in the egotism of Welsh. Welsh's fake fight with Jack Daniels recently has lost him most of the few friends that had been left to him, and few tears will be shed if he is defeated. He will do his training in Wales and will be accompanied to the ringside by a, small army of Welshman, who want to root for their champion. A DOUBLE-HEADER.
