ONE-SIDED MATCH. A one-sided game between the Zimmerman Colts of West Hammond, and the Harbor Athletics, played at the latter's grounds yesterday afternoon, was won by the visiting nine by a count of 12 to 1. The game was easily won by the West Hammond team, who played airtight ball behind their invincible pitcher, Blissmer, who hurled an excellent game. Only one of the Harbor boys got as far as third base. Batteries for the Zimmerman Colts were Blissmer and Zimmerman; Athletics, Murlin and Black.
The Gary team In the Indiana-
Michigan league continued to play un
der the spell of their hoodoo yesterday, and as a result they were defeated by a score of 7 to 2 by ,the NUes,
Mich., team. x
Not alone thlsy but the Gary team
and rooters claim they were robbed
of the game by the umpire, and have
made protest to President R. C. Proc
tor of Elkhart.
After the fourth inning. In which
the slaughter came, Gary players appealed to the Niles team and Van, the
umpire, was removed and Neusbaum
of Gary was put In his place. No
prettier exhibition of the national game could have been played for the first three Innings, neither side scoring.
It all happened in the fourth in
ning. The Niles team had the bases full when Merritt popped up a foul
with two strikes and three balls. As McLean, Gary's catcher, walked back
to get the ball two Niles men crossed the plate. Manager Dougherty of Gary protested and the umpire sent one" man back to third on , account of the ground rules, but allowed the batter to go to first, which is contrary to the rules.
After the smoke of the inning had
cleared away the Niles boys had push
ed five runs across the plate on only one hit and the assistance of the um
pire, Mr. Nausbaum. The fight from
then on was a pitcher's battle between
Smith of Gary and Withers of Niles
Smith having a shade the best of It, striking out ten ' men and allowing otly four hits and featuring in the only double play of the day. Outside of that he had seven assists and allowed but four balls to be hit to the outfield. The Gary team succeeded in reaching Withers for ten hits and two walks. Withers struck out! eight men, but kept his hits well scattered. Calder at first base played a fine game, accepting twelve chances without an error. Jackson at short had a bad day of it, having eight chances and making seven errors in a row. Jackson later redeemed himself In the last inning by making the one feature catch of the day in the Infield, stabbing a drive ticketed for two bases and cutting off a score. Williams was the star, bringing the fans to their feet with a wonderful . one-hand circus catch. The Niles teem has improved greatly since the first game with Gary
and are playing a very strong , me in the field but weak at the bat. A protest' has been forwarded to President R. E. Proctor, and Is signed by
a number of Niles fans. The lineup:

Hammond met their second defeat of the year at the hands of the Tom Murrays yesterday afternoon at the Hammond . Athletic association ball park, by a count of 14 to 2. Ten statues of solid bone faced the Chicago team yesterday and but two
of the statues moved during the game.
The others stood and watched the Murrays pound the ball In every direction. A record breaking crowd gathered
at the formal opening of Hammond's
beautiful ball park yesterday for the purpose of seeing the home team defeat the visitors, but six hundred people were disappointed. Hammond counted twice during the game while the visitors, piled up fourteen runs, which exceeds the number of tallies made by visiting nines in the past six games. The Chicago nine made monkeys out of the local boys in the second and fourth stansas. In the second Inning three tallies were scored, which was due to the local's , loose fielding. The
visitors started an assault upon the local pitcher In the fourth and drove him from the mound. Four visitors crossed the .home plate and three perched on bases before a man had been put out. Walker was sent in to pitch with the sacks full, and before the inning closed four more tallies were chalked up for the visitors. After the fourth inning the locals were fighting to keep the Tom Murrays from scoring with both hands in the air. The funny man behind the willow never moved from his position for a foul and on two or three occasions the ball rolled within a foot of him, but he was unable to see it and men scored. A visitor stole home with the backstop holding the ball in his hand. Oh, it was amusing to watch the Chicago team hit the ball and then have the locals either throw it wild or boot It around the diamond. It is a certain fact that some changes will be made in the lineup this week. Manager Ketchel Is determined to have a first-class team, if he has to get nine men from Chicago. The showing of the team yesterday will not hurt the crowd in any way, as it is certain tha-t the players will never lay down as they did yesterday, again. Those who laid down and did not try to play in yesterday's contest will not be seen In a uniform next Sunday. The All Stars of "Chicago are here again next Sunday. The Stars were beaten by Hammond in a ten inning contest, the, first game played at the H. A. A. park this year.
SOX FALL WITH THUD;
DRAW THIRIT SHUTOUT
Purtell's Error in the Ninth
Swells Record to ThirtyInnings of Blank Play.
Thirty thrilling rounds without a score'. That's the record of those
much-tattered sox, the string of shut
outs taking on appaling proportions yesterday, when Washington, hitting like fiends behind Bob Groom, registered the third consecutive calclmining. 2 to 0. For eight Innings the warring factions battled desperately. . looked like a sure enough extra st. 'on affair the way "Young Cy" Tong was southpawing. Then -came B. Purtell's erratic chuck toward home, letting two senators' register. It wasn't through any. fault of the smiling Mr. Young that defeat followed his pitching endeavors. The chunky left-hander was going great guns toward the close of the combat, after granting ten hits in eight periods, and apparently had the enemy pleading for assistance.
