HARBOR GETS

MASTING

The opening of the Northern Indiana

baseball league in Hammond was seen by an enthusiastic crowd of one thousand fans and was marked by a victory for Hammond, who humbled Valparaiso by a Bcore of 9 to 8.

The same was called promptly at 3

o'clock and Hammond closed the first inning with three well earned runs. Valparaiso failed to score, but came

back in the second with two counters

and three in the third, handing Ham

mond three white-washes. In the fifth

stanza Hammond started another swat-

fest and added three more runs to its

credit, ending the fifth frame with the

score 6 to 5 in Hammond's favor. Both teams received a shutout in the seventh. Hammond scored one in the eighth and Valparaiso two, giving them a lead of one run.

Things again looked dark and gloomy

for the Hammond warriors in the ninth.

when Valpo came back with another marker. Mette was first to oat and he dropped a neat two-bagger. Fowler was next up and with a mighty swat

the ball dropped neatly over the left field fence for a home run, scoring Mette and himself and winning two' runs for Hammond.

The fans were wild with enthusiasm

when Fowler bumped the bail 'n tle nose for a home run, and he was hailed as the hero of the day.

Only one accident occurred to mar

the pleasure of the day, when the north side bleachers collapsed, injuring two people.

B. Whitaker and a son of E. Fowler

received a number of slight bruises and

scratches. Luckily - the bleachers fell

forward or a number might have been seriously injured. The bleachers were packed to their capacity and this is said to have been the reason why they collapsed. .

The following lineup was used; Hammond Tearney, 2b; Staten, ss;

A big crowd turned out yesterday at Indiana Harbor, to see the East Chicago team administer an awful walloping to the Harbor Indians in the initial game of the league season. Kelly was nominated to do the slab work for the Indians and received what was proba

bly the worst lambasting in his career

as a pitcher. The .b.ast Chlcagoans opened up on his In the first inning with

two two-baggers, a home run and a single, and followed this while he was still in the box in the second Inning with another home run, a two-bagger and

two singles. It was then that Kelly got the office from the powers that be to take to the bench, and Bellick was sub

stituted.

East Chicago, however, had piled up

sufficient runs during the early on

slaught to cinch the game and while Bellick pitched splendid ball the remainder of the game, there was no hope

for the Indians. Aside from the first two innings the balance of the game was hotly contested, neither side displaying much of an edge over the other. Inglls pitched a splendid game for East

Chicago. The score;

GARY

LOSES ITS FIRST

Indiana Harbor invaded Gary Satur

day in large numbers, carrvine with

them nine young men who displayed

their athletic ability to the entire satisfaction of their Harbor friends, and a corresponding degree of chagrin to the complacent Gary fans, when the said nine young men who composed the Harbc- Indians beat the Gary Works team in a hard contested, well played game by a close score of 6 to 5. The Indians were the first to score, drawing first blood in the second Inning. From then on until the close of the game they managed to keep just a

little ahead of their husky antagonists. Delave was in the box for Indiana Harbor, and pitched a good game throughout. Leise started the slab work for the Works team, but was taken out at the beginning of the sixth and

Diamond was substituted, the visitors getting but one hit off the latter in the four innings that remained. The score:

1:37:57; Ralph De Pal ma, in a Mercer,

captured the medium car event in

The track was In the best of condi

the race to be the fastest in the world. It is said that the , two light car races preceding the heavy car race did not tear up the sandy beach and that the big speed, demons were let out to their

limit.

"Old Fox" Griffith says he can't see where Philadelphia, New York or Boston have anything on his Washington team, and doesn't believe the western teams will be able to show the Nationals anything either.

DID YOU SEE HIM YESTERDAY?

TWO-BAG SWAT WINSWith two, men down, one on third and the score 3 to 3, the stubborn contest between the Indiana Harbor Belt and the Simplex -team on the former's diamond was brought to a close last Saturday' afternoon when Kerger, catcher

for the Belt team, singled, thereby giving Crohen, his team mate who was on third, an opportunity to bring in the winning run. " The game last Saturday was the , fourth of the season tpr the

Belt team, and today is still has Its thousand per cent. - That Simplex players put up a grand game Is evidenced by the fact that they held the score 3 to 3 to the tenth Inning. Crockett, Standlsh and Kerger were the battery for the Beltf team, while Ebert and Gratwlck did the battery work for the Simplex. In the last half of the tenth inning

Crohen made a two-bagger for the

Belts, while Love and Standlsh filed out. Crohen In the meantime stole third and reached homo on Kerger's single. Next Saturday the Belt plays the Standard Steel Car company team, and on the following Saturday a team representing tho auditor's office of the Michigan Central at Detroit is booked to play on the Hump diamond.

CLOUTS BY BODIE GIVE SOXJjffi. 2-1

Extra Base Smashes Drive

in Runs That Beat Naps in Getaway Contest.

Two resounding smashes from . the bludgeon of .Mr. Ping (Blng) Bodie paved the way for a Sox getaway, victory over the Cleveland Naps yesterday by a score of 2 to 1. One of these would have teen a home run drive had not

Comlskey wired oft the field in the ex

pectancy of an overflow crowd. The other was a certain triple and might

have been a homo run. '

Between 25,000 and 28,000 fans saw

the contest, which was featured by much of the spectacular. One handed catches, the spearing of line drives, and

lightning double plays kept the crowd thrilled throughout. Although the Sox

accumulated only six hits, they managed to bunch two of these, resulting in one run. Another hit, followed by two sacrifice hits, drove over the other

counter.

THIS Is a "snap-shootings" of an irate Indiana Harbor fan who Just

exuded wrath when Mr. Kelly's yets yesterday failed to zam that sphere.

It was certainly some day. Porter and Laporte County. Oh what gloom.

But how those Valparaiso boys did play! East Chicago, Hammond, Gary,

Crown Point all handed extremely sassiferous slaps on .the wristlets to

Indiana Harbor, Valparaiso, Whiting and Laporte respectively. Gary

some team? Well ruther, ruther! Crown Point? Oh you Pete Hen-

'ning! Hammond! Why Hank Marden won a dollar just think of it.

HAMMOND LAD

WINS HIS RACE Crawfordsvtlle, Ind.. May 6. Gavlt of Hammond won the mile race here Saturday and the last event, the pole vault, was necessary to decide the WabashEarlham track meet. The Little Giants won by a score of 53 to 51. Kimmell of Wabash won second in the pole vault, placing his team n the lead. The meet, was contested hotly throughout. Every race and every field event. was close. Earlham fared considerably better on the field events' than

Wabash, but consistent seconds in almost every event and a few firsts in the runs brought victory to the local collegians. Hoover of Wabash broke the record for the hammer throw in the intercollegiate athletic league. He made a throw of 132 feet 7 inches. The former record was 124 feet 10 inches, made by Stanley of Earlham. It also breaks the record made by any Wabash athlete in recent years. A. R- Watson of the class of '08 had a record of 128 feet 9 Inches.
