GARY STACKS UP WELL (Special to The Times,) Indiana Harbor, July 10. -Gary did to Indiana Harbor yesterday, only a little worse, what Indiana Harbor did to East Chicago on the fourth. That is, they overcame a 2 to 0 lead In the ninth inning and carried off the 'game with a score of 3 to 2. And the blow almost killed the Harbor. There was not a large crowd there, but this was not perceptible to persons passing on Euclid avenue on the other side of the fence during the ninth inning, for the, sounds from within were like unto those which emanate from the west side ball grounds when the Giants are in town. Gary had some rooters not many but what they lacked in numbers was made up for In strenuous rooting. While Gary had been hitting Connors off and on throughout the game, but there had been no damage done and their hits were sufficiently well scattered to prevent any scores being made. But in the ninth Connors, whose arm was a trifle sore, couldn't locate the plate and after passing two men and having two balls called on him on the third man up. Captain Garrett put in Kelly. Kelly allowed Kelbe to walk, filling the liases. Sorensen struck out, but in doing so his third strike got away from Gaarde and both McKenna and Kenally, who were on third and second respectively, scored, and Kelbe reached third base, scoring later on an infield but from third to first. SPAULDIHGS BEAT KAMRADT COLTS The Spauldings trimmed the Kamradts 3'esterday in Chicago by a score of 5 to 4. A good game was played until the fifth Inning. There were two men on bases when the third man hit; the ball in back of some box cars where it could not be found. This cost ttiem two runs. The Kamradts played better ball. Kowalski of the Kamradts had fourteen strikeouts, while Sose of the Spauldings had only six. A crowd of about 500 witnessed the game. The score by innjngs: Kamradts 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 4 Spauldings 0 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 0 5 Batteries Kowalski and Meyers; Sose and Crawford. i The Kamradts will play the Ham-1 mond Grays next Sunday. '

HIGH WIND AND LOW SCORES The high wind yesterday was to some extent responsible for some of the low scores which were made by the members of the Hammond Gun club. A. Buse was high man, breaking 92 out of a possible 100, and J. Nimets was a close second, he having broken 91. In the prize event NImetz won In class A, breaking 2 4 out of 25, and while A. Buse carried away the class B prize by breaking 22 out of a possible 25. The scores yesterday were as tol- ! lows: Shot at, I J. Martin 100 1 H. H. Highland 50 Broke. 87 38 58 92 58 81 91 49 35 20 J.

COOK CUBS TRIM THE MERCURIES The Cook Cubs walked away with the East Chicago Mercuries Sunday afternoon in a well played game, by the- big score of 17 to 5. The feature of the game was Si Schutz's clean? home run hit in the eighth inning, and one two base hit in the second. The Cubs got a total of seven two-baggers, of which L. Erleweln poled three, II. Jarchau two, O. Green one, and SI Schutz one. Every player was credited with two or more hits. The battery for the Cook .Cubs was O. Green and G. Kohl. A return game will be played some time in the future. Score by innings: 1 East Chicago 1 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 5 LOOK LUDS 0 7 0 3 2 0 2 3 17 PAPKE DEMANDS SIDE BET WITH THOMPSON Milwaukee, Wis., July 10. Billy Papke, the middleweight champion, has accepted terms to meet "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson before the West Side Athletic club of New Orleans next fall In a twenty round contest for the championship of the world. Papke stipulates, however, that Thompson must put up a side bet, but does not state the amount. The Cyclone already has announced his willingness to make a side wager, so there probably will be no trouble on that score. Papke is expected back soon. A.MERICAN ATHLETES REST OVER SUNDAY Brighton, England, July 10. The Yale-Harvarfl athletes who will meet the Oxford-Cambridge team In an international series next Tuesday at the Queen's club grounds, are enjoying two days of rest; The American con-

Russell Ford, with his spi$ball that breaks seven different wiays, beat the ambitious White Sox yesterday afternoon in a stirring battle at Comiskey park and pulled the Yankees back on Chicago's heels in the struggle to get a firm footing In third place of the American league pennant race. The score was 5 to 2. Ford's pitching was superb all the time, while Young Cy Young, who slabbed for the Sox, had a bad inning, or the two clubs might have battled till darkness stopped the pastime. Working under a handicap, Young Cy displayed some wonderful cross curves, overhand drops and underha.nd upshoota that stood the visitors on their 1 heads. But this display of form caroe after he had lost the game, and Ford never allowed the Sox to bat their way to the front again. After eight innings of heaving. Young gave his place at bat to a pinch man, and Ed Walsh twirled the last round, fanning three men. Ford's batting helped the Yanks to a couple of their five runs, so on the whole he enJoyed a most successful day. Catcher "Hickory" Johnson and Pitcher Joe Willis of the Decatur Three-I League team are booked to eat in big league hotels, so 'tis said. MeGraw wants Johnson and the Cubs are after Willis.

Yesterday's Results. No games scheduled yesterday. Games Today. Chicago at New York. St. Louis at Philadelphia. Pittsburg at Brooklyn. Cincinnati at Boston. New York, July 10. Undismayed by the poor start they have made on this most important trip Chicago's Cuba passed Sunday resting and staring up fight germs for use today in the final game of this series with the Giants. Because of the two defeats Chance's men have sustained In the last two days It becomes necessary for them to win today's scrap if they are to get an even break with the Giants. In the present congested state of the National league pennant race it also Is necessary for the Cubs to win or they will lose ground. To any one of the four leading teams a victory is likely to mean advancement to a higher position while to three of the four leaders one defeat means a drop not only in percentage, but in position as well. In the hope of regaining the top notch today Manager Chance plans to pitch Lew Richie, holding Brown in reserve in the smise "of lif savor- T..i Nrld Lew is credited with the onlv vic tory in the current series and believes he can repeat. So do the Cubs. W BALLS: YO' our SAYS DARKEY WITH 3 Oil Vn fJnta Pa On4- T4qtt XO a UUI, Uey Ain't No Room fo' Yo' on de Bases." The umpire scouts overlooked thls Indicator man. The following Is a sampla of his work: , The Atlanta Deppens and the Birmingham Gold Dusts, negro baseball teams, were playing a strenuous game in Atlanta. In one inning the Gold Dusts had the bases full with no outs. An ebonv-hued baiter stepped to the

plate. The pitcher sent the sphere o the catcher. "One ball! called the "negro uprime. Again the pitcher got ousy. "Two balls!" cried the umpire.' ' After the third ball pitched the man with the Indicator shouted: "Three ball!" Once more the sphere went across the plate. "Fo' balls, yo' out!" shouted the umpire. The batter wa shtghly indignant. "What?" he yelled. "Me out? Whah yo git dat, niggah?" "Now, look a-heah, man," said the umpire, "yo, gotta be out. Dey ain'st no room fo" yo' on de bhse." IIS GAME The Gary works team defeated tW American Bridge company boys In aii extra inning game Saturday before the largest crowd ever seen at Gary Works park. t Althoug defeated the American Bridge boys lost no prestige by this game as several very close decisions were given against them. In the eighth Inning the score eight to two against them they hammered Cragin from the mound find kept up when Diamon relieved him in the ninth getting nine tallies in the eighth and ninth and 10 innings. In the tenth inning with two out Kelley was given 'a walk on some questionable decision by Umpire Reaching which afterward proved to be the American Bridge boys' undoing. The game was far from the standard as played by these two team there being no less than eighteen errors. Cullison played a fine game for the American Bridge boys while Scott carried off the honors for the Gary Works. The score: Hits off Crozin 10 In 8 Innings Craig, 2; Cullison, 2; Millaly, z; Geoghegan, 2; Cross; Bartuska. Hits off Diamon, 5 in 3 innings. Struck out by Crozin two Craig and Barret.
