WHAT VALPO THINKS. Kin -speaking of the Valpo-Hammond game the Vidette says: ' ' ' The umpiring yesterday was certainly amateurish from every point of view, A rank decision would be followed by an attempt to even up, and good chances to score were spoiled for both teams.- The league receives 10 per cent of the gate . receipts from each game, and it' seems that with this amount good umpires could be secured not the sort that guess at the majority of plays. The league executive should give this careful consideration, for good umpiring is half the battle. ' Manager Forney prptested the game in the seventh inning, on account of the crowd back of the catcher, and the : umpire allowing a run to score from second. . - , . Griswold played his usual game at third and made one sensational stop. He also poled a nice double in the second inning. Forney caught a nice game, but didn't have his batting eye. However, another game or two will have the desired effect. In this respect.The third , base bleachers collapsed during the progress of the game, but no serious injuries resulted. Fans, attention! It's worth the price of admission to see Englehardt play first base. Metty was the star of the Hammond team, getting three hits and four runs. ' Bird and Griswold are being troubled slightly with sore arms. Pony made a pretty catch of a line drive in the seventh. Benton made some three-base hit in the second.
