HARBOR'S SWEET REVENGE

Gary Works Team Defeated

at Indiana Harbor on Sat urday; Game Biggest So

cial Affair at Athletic

Event Ever Held in Co.

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor, July 31. Threatening weather and a number of "sprink

les in Indiana Harbor, coupled with a

real downpour In Gary at the time the special train which was to convey the

Gary fans to the Harbor ball park to witness the game between the Gary

Works and the Indiana Harbor teams

had the effect of reducing tho crowd that would otherwise undoubtedly have

attended Saturday's game. At is was the Gary team brought with it throe car loads of rooters who were the genuine article and did their duty nobly by the team. For all this Indiana Harbor was the victor winning ty a score of two to one and thereby getting revenge for a previous victory by the Gafj- aggregation. In spite of the weather hoodoo which has attended so many of the Indiana Harbor games, the event partook of a distinctly social nature, the boxes being filled for the most part with daintily attired women accompanied by their escorts. It looked for a while as though some millinery "confections" faced the ruin, when it started to rain, but the threatened shower passed over only giving Indiana Harbor a small taste of what the elements might have been expected to have done. Judging by the Indications. Superintendent John 'W. Iees had engaged two boxes entertaining in one a number of officials from the Gary mill, including Superintendent Glnason, and !n the other heads of departments and officials from his own plant. Dr. Robinson had engaged a box as had William E. Jewell and C. A. West bene. Ralph Moreland and the rest of the

boxes had for the most part been rer served by the visitors and were turned over to the ladies from that city. The game was a splendid one, admirably played on both sides. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish only four hits being made off each of the pitchers. Both teams fielded in a manner that would have done credit to major league teams, there being only one error on each side. Helgerson of Indiana Harbor threw low on one occasion and the error accredited to Crozler was a most peculiar one. Gaarde was at bat and in an attempt to sacrifice bunted between the pitcher and third base. Both went alter the ball together with the short stop and first baseman, leaving first unguarded, when Crozln threw to that base. Rergwald on second forgot to cover first as

he was engaged keeping his own bag

covered. The result was that Weisse who was on first by virtue of a pass went to third, while the batter made second. Weisse afterward scored on a squeeze play by Heckman.

The first score the Harbor made in the first Inning was earned. Melnke made a two bagger and Stallman hit him home with a clean single. Gary's run was made In the fourth inning. Kelley, who had reached first on a fielder's choice stole second, went to third on a long sacrifice and came home on a passed ball. Gary thought they had a grievance against the umpire In the seventh Inning. Wilkins, who had struck out twice before got In the way of one of Helgarson's curves. The umpire thought he had placed himself In the way of the ball deliberately and so ruled. Ind. Harbor R. H. P. A. E. Later Wilkins struck out. Otherwise the game was without special Incident. The score:

and almost got Kelly's goat. In tnat inning three hits, coupled with a couple of errors arid a base on balls, netted Whiting three runs and tied up the score. Indiana Harbor, however, pulled themselves out in the eighth inning when they got three runs on a cluster errors by the short stop, pitcher, third baseman and catcher, couple-l with a hit and a man hit. That ended the scoring. Andrews and McMahon did the heavy batting for Whiting, the former getting two doubles and the latter a double and a single, while Stallman, Faulkner and Baker did effective work with the stick for Indiana Harbor. One of Stallman' s was a two-bagger.

dropped in Des Moines this week at least one-third. So pleased are an tuc

buyers that they want the market open every day instead of only Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. That change

will relieve the congestion that oc

curred in the market during this the

opening week, and will pave the way to enlarge the scope of the market and thus reduce the cost of living in a more comprehensive way. The only people displeased with the outlook are the commission dealers and grocers, who have been accused of using trust methods to extort unreasonable profits. They are so disgruntled

at the prospect that they talk of attacking in court the ordinance under which the market has been opened. Thinks Ordinance Illegal. Fred Beaner, secretary of the retail grocers association, said he had no comment to make as he watched the

rushing business of the retailers' competitors Saturday morning. "I will say, however, that the markat ordinance is entirely illegal," he added. "The ordinance Is unconstitutional because it prohibits peddlers and grocerymen, or any one, from buying for the purpose of reselling, while the market Is open. ,The law can never be enforced and will be defeated in the courts." Attorney Frank S. Shankland, en

gaged by the peddlers and producers to defend them in the event that arrests are made for violation of the or

dinance, stated that the measure would

be. given a test case In the near future.

"Provided arrests are made, we in

tend to carry the case to the highest courts unless a favorable decision s

secured at once."

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, July 31. The Elks of East Chicago and Gary played a base

ball game at Sawmill park Saturday afternoon In which the local Elks were beaten by a score of nine to seven. East Chicago had the game well in hand up to Jhe fifth inning, the score at that time being five to one. In the fifth inning Gary filled the bases and Hunter, the next man up for Gary lifted a little pop-up, to Frank Keep who was playing short for East Chicago. Right there was wheree Keep ruined his reputation as a ball player and Incidentally lost his place as a member of the Elk's team. For he missed the pop-up and before he got done throwing the ball around the diamond in an effort to catch a Gary player at some point or another, the three men on bases had scored and Hunter followed them in .making a world's Vecord of a home-run on an infield hit. It looked rather "serious for Mr. Keep's personal safety for a while and nothing fo the

vows of the order and this previous recvord as a good fellow prevented the

balance of the team from meting out the punishment that he deserved. It Is rumored that Mr. Keep nas a girl in Gary and that the fly was missed in order to curry favor In that quarter. This however could not be substantiated. Walter Spencer who played third base for the East Chicago business men when they played the

Harbor business men a short time ago, had a good many criticisms to make on

the manner in which Abe Goodfriend filled that position Saturday. From th5

nature of his remarks It might be in

ferred that he thinks there is only one

third baseman In East Chicago and

that the Initials of that one are W. I.

S. At least that Is what Abe's sup

porters say.

Mr. Goodfrend didn't have much

say other than a casual remark that to him Mr. Spencer's criticisms looked to be IiT very bad taste. The East East Chicago Elks will play Chicago Heights Elks at Chicago Heights next Saturday and the managers of the team say If Mr. Keep goes It will be only as a spectator. Saturday' game queered him as a player, and he has been released. The lineup: Gary Graham, 3b; Glllls. ss; Craig, c; Baldwin, cf; Perry. If; McMichael, 2b; Long, rf; Hunter, lb; Nyhoff. p.

While business In the iron and steel trade of the Chicago district for the last week did not begin to equal that of the preceding week, the firmer feel

ing which increased buying on the part1 of railroads and similar Interests recently brought out continues to exist.

This firmer undertone Is particularly

noticeable in the pig iron market. Although . southern iron may still be bought on a basis of $10, Birmingham, this price is not so general as it had been. In finished steel lines the tonnage for the week, while not so large as the week preceding, was of a character to give support to the belief that there will be a steady growth in consumption requirements during the remainder of the year. -

Rail orders did not amount to 6,000 tons, while the building and structural

steel contracts call for less than 8,000

tons of steel, as compared to about 20, 000 the week before. The week's aver

age was maintained by specifications against plate and structural contracts.

that the people of Gary are desiriouj

that farmers may be Induced to bring produce Into the city, a thing which

they do not do at the present time, W. L. Slade, owner of a 260-acre truo'k

The agents and the produce weren't In town five minutes unti lone Broadway firm bought up everything they had. "From now on I will send produce to Gary daily. It is the best market In Indiana," said Mr. Slade to a Times reporter.. "Why you people get no produce here at all." ,' Advocates of the. public market plan are Increasing in number daily.

The TIMES Will help you to Satisfy Uncle Sam in this Particular

Hammond Post Office By drection of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office Is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots in their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his disposal, since the carrier can cover much more terrKory In less time if not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mall in the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliveries to patrons living or or near the end of the route at an earlier has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is interested in furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully,

F. R. SCHAAF, Postmaster.

The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postoffice Department. They are provided with a large locked

receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and H

are recommended by the Postmaster. One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one year's subscription in advance, OR a Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, OR you can secure one of these boxes by cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office one (1) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents. These MAIL BOXES are the very best made and cannot be purchased elsewhere at less than One Dollar each. We shall be glad to have you come up and look at them. You will be surprised.
