lightful time was enjoyed by all.

The system is something like a buffet luncheon, with the exception that everybody helps themselves and makes their own change. You pay for just what you get and if you are a plutocrat with an enormous appetite it is possible for you to invest as much as 40 cents, but, of

course, that isn't at all necessary ladies of section A will hold a

With the exception of Pollard's

grand slab work, the Hammond-Gary game yesterday was devoid of anything verging on the spectacular. The weather was uninviting and Gary was ready to acknowledge defeat at the end of the fifth inning, but the Hammond fans insisted on a nine-inning

game. Velner, Gary's center fielder, was fined $2 by Umpire White for his

conduct toward the chief official.

Score: HAMMOND.

Seven hits were accumulated by the Harbors and most of them came at a time when hits counted and all but one figured in one way or another in the score, whereas only one of the four made by East Chicago resulted in a

count. , The only time after the first inning that Bradshaw was in any serious trouble was in the third inning when he passed three men. He extricated himself from this hole by striking out Beach and then the hard-hitting BradIng. with the bases full, and himself retiring Doll at first. i ' Ullman did the best hitting for East Chicago, getting a double and a single in four" times at bat. Beach is also credited with a two-bagger. Next Sunday Harbor plays at Whiting, East Chicago and Gary play a double-header at Hammond, and Hammond plays at

Crown Point. The score: INDIANA HARBOR.

We made preparation on a much larger scale than usual, realizing that the bargain attractions were the greatest ever offered In this section of the country. Still the unexpected happened and we accommodated the largest crowd that ever visited any one store at any one time and eclipses all previous records, even our formal opening which was the largest ever recorded in Hammond.

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor. Sept. 25. East Chicago was defeated yesterday by Indiana Harbor in one of the best-played games of the season. The score was 4 to 1, placing East Chicago in second place. Bradshaw, who pitched for the Harbors, had the visitors under perfect control at all stages of the game, permitting them but four hits and striking out twelve men. , The Harbors' victory and the fact that the game between Crown Point and Whiting resulted in a tie, complicates the pennant situation very materially. The possibility of a three-handed tie for first place looms up. The Harbor has one more game. East Chicago three and Crown Point four. Should Indiana Harbor win next Sunday, Crown Point will have to win three out of four and East Chicago all of her games in order to eliminate Indiana Harbor from the race. Should Crown Point lost two of her four games yet to play. East Chicago one of her three and Indiana Harbor win from Whiting next Sunday the result would be a tie for first place between the three teams mentioned. If the Harbor loses next Sunday, however, that team will be absolutely out of the running. It will then be a case of East Chicago and Crown Point fighting it out between themselves. This, in all probably, though Whiting might still prove a force to be reckoned with. It is possible for Whiting to win the pennant by winning five straight games. In the game yesterday between East

it attempted to play the two games. Besides that, the second game wouldn't count. Paying a $1,000 fine to entertain a small crowd like that didn't seem to appeal to the management of the Chicago club. Had there been 20,000 peri Knna nrfspnt of course a small amount

like $1,000 wouldn't be missed. But it Xew

would have eaten up the gate money yesterday and left nothing for car

fares. Consequently the umpire was notified to announce to the crowd that the second game was called off by orders of President Lynch and that only one game would be played, starting at 2 o'clock. He also announced the management would return the money to any patrons who were dissatisfied with that arrangement If they would present their rain checks at the box office.

The announcement wasn't made until

five minutes before 2 o'clock, and the

spectators had been allowed to buy j tickets up to that time, thinking they; would see two games. Apparently not more than a half dozen took adxjrfTtage of the opportunity to get their

money back.

EVANS USES FIST ON TWO NAP FANS

Cleveland, O., Sept. 25. Umpire William Evans hit one man, beat up another, and was himself roughly handled following the Cleveland-Philadelphia baseball game yesterday afternoon. The Athletics won,.a to 3. A general fight resulted, and a crowd of 2,000 spectators swarmed on the field.

New York, Sept. 25. Today the White Sox will see the last week of their road work of the year and the last fortnight of the championship season. With only twelve more games to play they enter the last 100 yards of the 1911 Marathon on position to gain or lose ground In the final steps. They are now holding to fifth place by a slender margin over Boston and will have to beat the Red Sox in their own back yard in order to hold it. Fourth place and a berth in the first division are within reach of Comiskey's men It they can continue winning a high percentage of their games as they have since that awful session with Cleveland early in the month. More important, however, than the ultimate landing of the White Sox in the league campaign Is their showing in the coming post-season series with the Cubs, and already Manager Duffy

The Gary Works team won the final game of the season by defeating the Valparaiso Standards in a hard-fought game by a score of 8 to 7. Crozler started the game and gave the Valpo boys three runs in the first. After that he settled down until the seventh, when he allowed three hits and gavo two passes In the eighth. He was hit freely and Dlamon was sent to the rescue and held the Valpo boys at his mercy. Hueston went sky high in the fifth and Gary scored six tallies before he could be relieved by Williams. Nuppnau's fielding was the feature of the game. The Gary Works hoys have made a fine record for the season, having won twenty-one games, lost five and tied one. Taking into consideration the fact that this Is their first season they have played remarkable ball, as they have beaten every team that has crossed bats with them. Messrs. Considlne, Gleason and the different department heads are to be congratulated on producing such a fine baseball team in the short season just passed. The score: , GARY WORKS.

ST. LEGER HANDICAP FOR DOWN'S OPENING

Louisville, Ky., Sept 23. The fall meeting of the Louisville Jockey club opened at Churchill Downs today with the St. Leger handicap as the feature of the card. , For the eighteen days of racing, some of the greatest horses in America are here, if for no other t reason that that Kentucky now offers" the best inducements to horsemen of any place in this country. Foi" the first time since the pari-mu-tuel system of betting was Installed the Kentucky racing commission this fall put the ban on pooling, which heretofore has been a favorite manner of laying odds, particularly with the larger speculators. It will bo given its first real test here. At the short meeting at Lexington speculation was brisk without pooling, but wether it will be at Churchill Downs at the first big fall meeting is a matter of conjecture among horsemen. The big feature of the meeting will be the Kentucky endurance stake of four miles for $3,400 and a cup valued at $1,000 for the winner, to be run Oct. 7. This, as well as all 'other stakes. Is well filled. Generally large fields are expected, as a greater number of horses are here than usual.

-While his team has come very near falling out of the American league standing and into Lake Michigan. Big Ed Walsh has gone right ahead pitching as grand ball as you would wish to lamp at. Only the difference of one game lost separated Springfield and Bridgeport at the close of the Connecticut league season. Springfield landed the muslin, with Bridgeport second. ,
