East Chicago and Indiana

Harbor Behave Meanly to Nice Little Girl.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 12. By

the" combined efforts of East Chicago

and Indiana Harbor yesterday Crown j Point was pushed oft her place on the first jbench and East Chicago left in sole possession of the lead in the Northern Indiana Baseball association. Four innings of the game at the Harbor became history before a run was scored, but in the fifth Indiana Harbor score two runs by the courtesy of McQuaid, Gratwtck and Henning, who considerately made misplays. and Heckman, who drove a hot liner Just over shortstop's head for a single, scoring Fellers and Kelly, who were perched on third and second, respectively. Crown Point tied the score in the sixth by bunching three hits, the last one being a two-bagger by TEnrlght. but In the Harbor half of the same inning and, after two were gone O'Brien lande dsquarely on the ball and lost it in the flushes somewhere outside of the left field fence. The long hit netted the Harbor one run and O'Brien a ten spot. Hurrah for the Irish!

The Harbors made another run in the eighth and one in the ninth, while the Hubites failed to count again. While

eacn team got seven nits, K.eiiy had a slight advantage in having struck out

two more men than Henning and only

having a two-bagger scored against him, while his opponent allowed a home run. Altogether it was an interesting game to wai'-h. Crown Point sent a couple of hundred of her "prom cits" to lend their moral support, most of them In a special train and the balance in automobiles.

There' is also a probability- of the Gary-Ho.bart-Valparaiso line becoming an Important link In the proposed I mil anapolls-Oary line which was chartered a few days ago and which proposes to. build' an Interurban line frorn Inu' anapolis in a northwesterly direction.
