Though outclassed by the sturdy New York Dutchman, Gjinty nevertheless proved to be the better sprinter of the two.

Crown Point, Ind., July 5. Over 600
ball-crazy fans braved the terrific heat
at the local ball park yesterday after
noon and saw Crown Point win over
Hammond In one of the most exciting
and closely contested games of the league series. It was either team's game from start to finish, the contest being settled by the county seat team
landing on Mitchell almost at will, while Hammond was unable to solve
Hennlng's delivery after the Crown
Point twlrler replaced Smith, they only gleaning two hits off him. The game was replete with brilliant plays and
each side shared in the honors. Crown
Point qhould have had one more score. Eder being called out at third on what seemed a palpable error on the part of White and 'Havill, the umpires. The decision did not count in the final score and was not contested by the Crown Point team. Hammond fans
came down in a special train and were
well behaved contingent. Seen from
the sidelines the game was played as follows:

(Special to Ths Times.) Indiana Harbor, July 5. The cannon firecracker was not missed in Indiana Harbor, after the ninth inning of the ball game between East Chicago and the Harbor, which was prolonged to twelve innings before victory condescended to alight on the field and perch proudly upon the Harbor banners. The yelling of the Harbor fans atoned for the absence of the cannon firecracker after the ninth inning which brought in a tie between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, and had a powder magazine exploded it could not have been more explosive than was the joy that rent' the throats of the Harbor fans when, after twelve as hard fought innings as ever two Yearns engaged in, the score showed 6 to 2 in favor of the
Harbors. It was as exciting a game as was ever pulled off probably in Lake county. East Chicago drew first blood in the sixth inning when Ullmann lined one down to Stallman which that player found too hot to handle cleanly. Kempf then sacrificed him to second, but Pederson struck out. This, however, made no difference, as the next three men up. Strand; Enders and Conrad, each clouted the ball for singles, bringing Ullmann and Strand home. That ended the run-getting for the visitors. It was not, however, until the ninth inning that Indiana Harbor began to show. Bleachers and grand stand were breathless awaiting "something doing," for it was the Harbor's last chance. Already some of the East Chicago fans had edged toward the gate in an effort to get the first car for home and believing that the game was over. Beach, who up to this time had been playing phenomenal ball at short for East Chicago, began to weaken In his defense and made two errors in rapid
j succession, permitting Faulkner and

Kafyn to cross the first plate and tie up the score. This made it necessary to run the game into extra Innings, and there was nothing doing until the twelfth, although East Chicago threat
ened to count in ihe eleventh when
they had men on first and third.
Gaarde opened up the twelfth for
the Harbors with a long two-Taagger to the left field fence, Meinke was passed
and Dautell, the elongated first base
man, in an attempt to sacrifice, landed a safe one over the second baseman's head on which Gaarde scored and the
wild throw which Peterson made to
the catcher allowed both Meinke and
Dautell to follow their team mate
home.
Heckman scored later on a hit by Faulkner, ending the runs for the Har
bors, and, as it later developed, for
East Chicago, too.
Coonrad, who pitched for East Chicago, twirled a magnificent game. Only
one hit was made off him until the eleventh inning and only four in the eleventh and twelfth, making five in all. Beach had eighteen chances in all at short and accepted fifteen of them.
but the two errors in the ninth inning
proved to be the undoing of his team.
Gaarde, the Harbor catcher, also playcda phenomenal game. He had seven
teen chances and accepted them all
and his two-bagger in the twelfth was what opened up the opportunity for the
winning of the game by the Harbors.
Kelly also pitched a good game, strik

were there. This probably can be at

The game was the means of placing
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor in

Detroit, Mich., July 5. Under a blazing sun that almost wilted the athletes on the battle field, tle White Sox and Detroit Tigers celebrated a sar.e fourth of July yesterday by dividing the nonors of the day in baseball. The Sox. thanks to the prowess of Ed Walsh, mightiest of pitchers, won the morning game 7 to 3, and scarcely wilted their collars. The Tigers scraped out a victory in the afternoon by a count of 11 to 10 in a battle that would have sham

inning it seemed half the men would j
have fallen under the hot sun from exhaustion. The White Sox had the first game their own way from start to finish. They won the afternoon game five different times only to lose it again when the Tigers took up their heavy bats. Finally the Sox seemed to give way to the heat in the eleventh and tossed -the game to Detroit.

San Francisco, Cal., July 5. The -clang of the gong for the start of the thirteenth round of the fight for the lightweight championship of the world, at Coffroth's arena, had not entirely died away when Ad Wolgast, title holder, was on top of British Owen Moran with both fists flying. Moran tried to stop Wolgast's rush with a swift right uppercut and failed. Back went Moran to the confines of the ring, the ropes bending beneath his weight as Wolgast drove his gloves against body and face.
The body blows did the trick. Moran gaped like a chicken athirst for water and seemed to stop fighting. There were red welts across stomach and ribs where the champion's fists had sunk into the flesh and Moran's wideopen mouth was the best testimony'
that the punishment was severe. Then suddenly Wolgast let go a volley of overhand lefts. Each blowcrashed against temple or chin and. still gasping, the battered Britisher sank to the floor and was counted out. He claimed afterward that some of the body punches were foul, but it was a silly claim. He was beaten squarely. Inch and inch, pound for pound, the boys measured and weighed all right, but beyond that they had nothing in common. Wolgast had the air of a conqueror before a blow was struck. He was brown as a berry and. as lively as a tree squirrel. Moran had a washed out appearance. And as they looked they fought. The champion was a bundle of live wires. The other acted as though rigid training had taken the starch out of him. ' i
Wolgast really began to win in the first round and kept increasing his lead until the fatal thirteenth. It was palpable from the moment they hitched up in the first mauling match at close quarters that the champion was the more rugged of the pair. He may have been tired once or twice during the contest, owing to the grueling pace, but there was room for doubt, whereas there couldn't possibly be two opinions as to the way things were going with Moran. He looked distressed in each and every resting spell after the fifth round, while across the ring Wolgast seemed to rebel at the attentions showered on him by the towel and bottle men. He sat and chatted to such friends as were in sound of his voice. It was the close fighting that did for the Englishman and of all the blows that Ad cut loose with while they were struggling breast to breast, the most damaging was that peculiar assault known to the men of the ring as the
"loop-the-loop." It is a fanciful delivery. It curls around entangled arms and protruding elbows and lands on the face. Wolgast. while clinging to Moran, turned with his face half upward and whenever he landed he landed solidly, as Moran's puffed lips attested. When not working the loop-the-loop, Wolgast was sending disturbing chugs into Moran's mid-region with both bands, and in this direction, too. the
The Championship Round. ROIXD THIRTEEN Moran was there with m left Jolt and they came Into a clinch In which M'olgait aent left to nlomaoh and right to jaw. Moran got in one right uppercut and then AVolgant pinned him against the rope, nbowcrlng lefts on the body and rights on the face. Moran's month was . wide opea as though bin Jaw was broken and he seemed to atop fighting. Wolgast whipped a hard right la to the heart region and swung a left on the jaw. Moran fell to the mat still open mouthed and with his eyes rolling and waa counted out.
champion achieved better results when battling close against his opponent. The nearer Wolgast got to his quarry, the more damage he did. When standing away, Wolgast seldom managed to put in a stinging smash.
It is at infighting that he shines. Moran dealt Wolgast a number of snappy right' handers in between the clinches, dividing his . time between straight blows and uppercuts. He also prodded Wolgast with straight lefts, but never in a . way to hurt. When forced to mix it at close quarters Moran
tried to even the score with left uppercuts and there were times when he got in quite a few while Ad waa working the dreaded loop-the-loop. But whether infighting or outfighting, Moran's blows did not carry a tithe of the force Wolgast's did. There was never a real chance for the fellows that backed Moran to chortle. Wolgast certainly did not delay the Issue by resorting to covering up tactics. He covered, of course, but only as a rule, at the beginning of each round. It almost seemed as if Ad considers it an Important feature of his system to come forth from his corner peering at his opponent through his forearms. But once he gets within striking distance he unwinds hia fighting machinery rora his top piece and sails in.
