from the Baldwin Locomotive works are rejoicing that they are the first to

humble the Hub this year.

The champs certainly struck a slump in their baseball playing capa

to the visitors by a score of 6 to 4. Rag

ged work by both teams kept 'the game from assuming any championship pro

portions from a Crown Point view, and

taken with the wrangling over the um

pirlng, the entire game was a little below the standard. Crown Point should have won hands down, but costly errors by the majority of the members of the team handed the victory to East Chicago. The many friends and fans of the team from East Chicago returned last night Jubilant over their victory. A big-crowd saw the games.

CUBS BOW BEFORE MARTY TOLE, 3-1 ; Larry Cheney Bested in Hurling Duel With Pittsburg's $22,500 Star.

Marty O'Toole, the $22,500 pitcher, and Larry Cheney, the $2,500 man, had their long awaited combat yesterday afternoon at the west side park, and the Pittsburg star beat the young Cub hurler by a score of 3 to 1, but there was not $20,000 worth of difference in their work, by any means. As far as pitching alone was con-

cernea, n migni nave been called a

draw. The Pirates concentrated their attack in the seventh inning and mauled Larry for three runs, making four base hits in succession, and one of the hits was a two-bagger. Up to that time Larry had a big margin on his costly rival, only one hit having been made. On the other hand, the Cubs threatened to break up the game on -O'Toole three or four times, but an extremely lucky double play killed one chance, the best one, and Mr. O'Toole's excellent pitching spoiled the others. In the second Inning the Cubs filled up the bags on two scratchy Mts and a pass and no one was out, but the batter hit to the third baseman, who shot home, forcing one man. and the catcher pegged to first in time for a double play which sent the opportunity of the Cubs a-glimmering.

Ing should happen to make one of those

water hauls. Bergman, who was on the mound for Hammond, twirled some airtight ball

after the first stanza and with number one support back of him it was Just a matter of time, so Hammond played ball, did something and said nothing. Maybe you think there are no fans in Hammond. Well, if you saw that rooter club turn out you can be assured that they can make some noise. Several times the fans were - brought to their feet when the Hammond sluggers, mainly Moll and Fowler, caught the' ball full on the nose and had those spheres Journeyed a little further they might have topped the fence for a Couple of home runs. As it was those slams brought nice two-baggers, which helped in the final count. Kruger and View also secured two-sackers. Only one injury occurred to mar the pleasure of the sport, when Hammond's third baseman, Hansen, was spiked In the foot, suffering a painful Injury to hia large toe. Time was called until the injured member could be cared for and play was resumed. The grounds were in excellent shape and fully 1.000 fans

saw Hammond demonstrate that they are there In all "departments, of the game.' Score: V ' .- ' HAMMOND.

"I Intend to make a supreme effort to 'come back'," declared Papke. "I feel in first class shape and Intend to do some hard training on the other side in

BONE PLAYS GIVE DETROITGAHE, 6-2 Wild Base Work by Bodie and Weaver Rob Sox of Possible Victory. The most astounding exhibition of bone ever seen outside a museum of natural ' history, combined with a couple of bad decisions, wrecked a magnificent ninth inning batting rally for the Whit Sox yesterday and deprived them of a possible victory over Detroit's rebels in the final game of the series here, although the ultimate score was 6 to 2. Ping Bodle and Buck Weaver, both of Whom learned their baseball on the

coast, pulled the bone stuff and Umpire Westervelt made the decisions. But the big -capacity crowd blamed only the umpire. That great concourse of bugs had seen the White Sox had the rebels six runs in nine innings, all due to blunders of head or hands by Callahan and his men. The Sox had been held to one run and, six hita bt the crafty, cold molasses delivery of "lullin, 5 backed by support that was letter perfect. TJie crowd was melting away in large fragments. -

"What's the trouble with the Athletics?" is the dally question now being asked by thousands of fans. Before the season opened the world's champs were touted as being ready to jump to the top at the tap of the gong and inhabit that lovely first place until the curtain falls in October.
