HAMMOND GRAYS TO HAVE GAME The Hammond Grays will entertain Hammond baseball fans next Sunday In the absence of the H. A. A. team when they line up against the Diamond A. C., one of Chicago's fast semi-pro teams, at the H. A. A. park next Sun day afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Gray fought a tie battle with the Diamonds earlier In the season at Russell Square the game being called in the eight inning with the score 4 to 4 on accoun of rain. As the Grays are strong contenders for the pennant in the Chicago Base ball association, of which they are member, this game ought to bring out a large crowd. At present the Grays and the Diamonds are fighting it out for second place. The Grays put a crimp in another team's pennant hopes last Sunday, defeating the Kamradt Colts of West Hammond by a score of 2 to J, losing their first; game out of nine played. Freyman was on the slab for the Grays and only allowed five hits. After the first Inning he had the "wild men of the west" eating out of his hand, and expects to do this with the Diamond A. C. team. Krowaltzke of the visitors let the Grays down with two hits, one of these being of the scratch variety, but the superior team work of the locals shoved the winning run across the plate In the seventh. Merkle Engleton, the Iron top speed artist of the Grays, was a strong factor in last Sunday's game, scoring both runs through his nerve, speed and some ability. The league officials have assigned Umpire O'Keefe, surnamed the king of the league, to umpire this important game, so if Hammond wants to be well represented in the baseball world of Chicago it's up to them to turn out and give the local boys some support.
