The Gary-Crown Point game yes

Gary secured three runs in the first

l on three singles and two two-baggers.

Crown Point tied the score In the the second stanza with a pass and four singles. In the fourth the visitors secured a lead of two runs on

runs In five stanzas. East Chicago was able to score their only markers In the eighth frame and Bergman fed them large doses of whitewash for eight Innings. During the two hours of play there was plenty of excitement, two and three-base hits, sacrifices, stolen bases and some nifty catches which constituted the sum and substance of the one-sided battle. Hammond got down to work in the first stanza, scoring one run and in the third came back with two more. The fourth and fifth were both blanks and with another concentrated effort they scored three In the sixth, five In the seventh and with one more to make a dozen in the eighth. As hard

The Indiana Harbor team won its fourth consecutive game yesterday when it defeated Valparaiso on the latter's own grounds by a score of 3. to 2. The game throughout was fraught

with many vicissitudes. After two Innings had been played, during which

time the elements threatened, they nade good In the shape of a miniature tornado and cloudburst. When the. rain drove the players from the field after the second inning the score stood 8 to 1 in favor of Indiana Harbor. It looked like a shame for the visitors to have their nice lead nipped i the bud by the storm. When It stopped raining the diamond looked like a miniature lake, but the sun came out hotter than It had been at could actually be seen drying up. Umpire Clark wail not wholly discouraged, however. He walked over the ' ground, surveying the scene with the critical eye of an expert, and decided ; that play could be seumed with the I broom to Bweep the water out of the I holes. The hay was placed In the pitchers' and batters' boxes and where the catcher stands, after which the eighteen athletes resumed the scrap. Indiana Harbor did not score again during the game, but the local team added one in the fifth. In the sixth' inning the clouds once more opened and this time they put the kibosh on the game right; After a half an hour's delay the game was called off. Don Hamilton was In the box for Valpo and the visitors went after him rough-shod In- the first Inning. Dougherty, who leads off for the Harbor, . took one In the slats, went to second on HUgendorf's out at first and stole third cleanly. Lynch filed out to ceni ter field, but A. Walsh delivered a l corker over onto the race track over I the right field which was good for ; three bases, scoring Dougherty. He I himself scored a moment afterwards when O'Brien planted one just as far away over the left fielder's head, the latten then crossing the plate on Hoffman's single. I Valpo also scored In the first ln- ' nlng. Ward, the. first man up, singled to right and was pushed on to second when Nuppnau was hit by a pitched ball. Englehart advanced

them both one base on his sacrifice. Ward scored on Bird's Texas leaguer back of first base. Bradshaw then struck out Benton and Grlswold, retiring the aide. In the fifth inning the home team made their other run on a base on balls to Ward, a sacrifice and Bird's two-bagger. This Inning was full of possibilities for the Valpo boys and Bradshaw was lucky to get out of it with only one run, as two men were left languishing on the bases when Benton and Grlswold each went out on foul flies. Aside from the heavy batting the features of the game were Griswold's

wonderful catch In his ungloved "hand of Bradshow's foul pop-up in the second inning, ajjd the double play of Vanderkloot, Ward and Englehart In the sixth. Indiana Harbor sterns to have struck Iter stride and 1 t takes a mighty good team these days to hand anything to O'Connell's bunch of live ones. Gary and Hammond will please The score:

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19. Manager Callahan went over to Jersey City yes- J terday and watched the Pkeeters play a game In the International league. ! After the game he pulled the string ' attached to Roland Barrows, the out- 1 fielder, who has had two tryouts with the Sox and was released to Jersey City last spring under an optional agreement. AfteV watching Barrows

play, Callahan decided to exercise the option. . Barrows will not join the White Sox until after the next series between Jersey City and Rochester, the latter club being In the pennat race. He will report at Cleveland just before

the Sox return to Chicago. That will make him eligible to any doings that may occur after the championship season in case the Cubs do not cop the flag. The belief In the Sox camp is that the Cubs have a splendid chance to beat the Giants. Manager Callahan also reported taht McMillan, the shortstop formerly with Erooklyn, had been purchased by the Yankees and would report to New York within a few days.

An even break In the long siege of the national game was the best the climbing Cubs could ' do yesterday against the Phillies at the west side park. While they were doing" that the Giants kicked the life out of the Cardinals down in St. Louis, so the Chicagoans lost half a game on their rivals and are now five and a half combats behind. In spite of an abundant display of bone, the Phillies won the first contest by a score of 10 to 6, but the Cubs came back and took the second neatly and precisely by a count of 5 to 1. Eppa Jeptha Rixey Jr., the slim southpaw on Red Dooln's staff of twlrlers. was on exhibition in both contests, coming in to stop the Cubs in the first battle, which task he accomplished with such 'acTTiracy . and dispatch that he was sent right back to start the second. The Cubs located his slanting crossfire In number two and lammed out a big lead in . six rounds, so the tall one was removed from the scene and a sturdy German named Schultz finished It.

A TIMES

PATHFINDER CAR AT LULU, MISS. Lulu, iliss., Aug. 19. The Flanders Glidden pathfinder arrived here Saturday night after having, concluded another seventy-five miles of pathfinding for the national tour from the lakes to the gulf. A late start was made from Memphis Saturday and during the day many detours were

Betting "on the nod" will be the only form of speculation for the venturesome at the Initial fifteen-day race meeting of the Mineral Springs Jockey club, to open on Sept. 14 at the new track near Porter, Ind. Even this form of wagering will have no official standing with the promoters, who insist they will conduct "betless racing" under the provision of the Sellers law, which allows forty-five days of racing In each county, meetings not to be longer than fifteen days and with intervals of thirty days between. Racing Is legal in Indiana. Betting Is not. That skepticism which has developed from numerous reports of attempts to revive racing near Chicago greeted the first announcement of the Indiana men behind the Mineral Springs Jockey club. When they announced their plans, including dates, and work began on the new track, that skepticism the turf know there must be speculation to make racing possible, the pertinent query then was how the meeting could be conducted ''without betting." Plans front the 'Inside.' From a confidential source the plan behind the plan was secured yesterday. According to this information the promoters are going ahead on broader grounds than ever before attempted In the conduct of a race track. They are banking upon the love of the sport itself by a part of their patrons. Those who must bet will make their own credit connections with pencilers, and the track will have nothing to do with It. ' This Is the same scheme thus far as existed in New York under the PercyGray law before the directors' liability law making directors of racing associations criminally responsible for gambling on their premises was passed at the instance of Gov. Hughes. Then the metropolitan tracks closed their gates. But the New York tracks, instead of charging for the booking privilege, exacted a fee for "advance information." The Forter track officials assert they will accept absolutely no revenue, either directly or Indirectly, from the bookies. They feel this Is their only way to keep within the Indiana statute. Inasmuch as the bookie cannot display slates or publicly quote odds In any form, to make his business pay he must have a personal clientele who have established with him a credit. No money can pass nor any record

be made of a wager at the track. Therefore each bookie, argue the promoters, will be interested In Inducing his clients to visit the track. Each patron will pay to enter the track a fee of $1.50 or 12, Including railroad fare. There will be no free list. Expected gate admissions will take the place of booking fees from a revenue producing viewpoint. ' It Is not denied that under the credit system there will be a small play at first, but the promoters assert that their only concern at the first meeting is to demonstrate that "betless racing" can be conducted within the law. Backers of the club were stirred yesterday by reports, emanating from Indianapolis, that Gov. Marshall .would interfere with the meeting. Such reports were declared to be absolutely without foundation. Statement by Director. John A. Gavlt, one of the directors,' issued the following statement: "Since the announcement of Its contemplated racing program by the Mineral Springs Jockey club and the starting of the actual construction of the track near Porter, Ind., an effort has been made In certain quarters to make it appear that Chicago gamblers were in some way Interested In our proposition. "The statement that Gov. Marshall' has Invariably prevented the resumption of racing during his Incumbency seems strange In the face of two facts, the first of which is that racing Is clearly legal and protected by a regulating law; the second, that there has been no attempt to revive thoroughbred racing at any point In the state during Gov. Marshall's Incumbency, and further that trotting meetings, which are all run strictly In accordance with the racing statute, have suffered no interference from the executive in so far as an exercise of legal prerogatives Is concerned." Officials for the new track will be named this week after the meeting of

U. 8. ATHLETESBROKE' CAN'T GET BACK HOME

New York, Aug. 19. Mel Sheppard, James E. Meredith and Donald Lippincott, noted athletes and members of the winning American team at Stockholm, are stranded in Glasgow without funds with which to engage passage home and in such circumstances that they will be compelled to find Jobs on the other side unless financial aid comes from friends over here at once. This report was brought to New York today by the purser of. the steamship Caledonia, which arrived today. According to the purser the three athletes went aboard the Caledonia, expecting to return on her, but were shown that the return tickets furnished them, were not good after August 10. They were unable to scrape ' together the passage money and therefore had to stay behind. The purser said the athletes had been competing In athletic meets In Scottish towns for several days, but could not take money for that work because they were amateurs.
