O'Brien took his place on third. Shortstop Vanderkleet next fumbled a hit from Hoffman's bat and O'Brien trotted home. There were no more
runs In this Inning, the locals concluding that five would be quite sufficient. The next inning yielded two runs on two two-baggers and a throw from

The Harbors made another run in the fifth and one in the sixth, when Marceaux almost knocked the bean off a piker who was taking a free slant at the game over the left field fence. The piker, not being quite dead, attempted to steal the ball as a souvenir of his narrow escape. Intending to have the pill autographed later by Pitcher Marceaux. Manager Tom

Hammond, 7 Laporte. 3, Gentlemanly conduct on the part of certain lnflelding Laporte persons yesterday gave Hammond a. well-preserved, packed-in-lce victory, the details of which are mirrored In the 7 to 3 score. By pulling the "you first, my dear Gaston" stuff at critical stages Laporte's basemen demonstrated their particular brand of excellent politeness and allowed Texas leaguers to . plow their way to the fence and easy grounders to bounce out into singles. Timely hitting on the part of the local crew put the game away as early as the second Inning. The score: HAMMOND.

has yet to take a real licking.. He was shaded In a couple of short bouts, but by men whom he ranks better than now. Brltton's greatest claim to fame Is a draw with, Packey McFarland- He has whaled a lot of good boys, though, and there are wise ring birds right here
in town wining to Det some money that he whips the classy Murphy in his own bailiwick. There is considerable at stake for the boys in the mill. Both want a whack at Packey McFarland, and the winner probably will get It up at Kenosha before the Fall gets old. That Boston fight should be a tough one. Both lads are clever, and while Murphy probably is the harder hitter. Jack can shoot the mhome fast enough to make anybody slow up. It looks like an even thing to us, with the break in the punching luck deciding the honors.
LOWELL WINS FROM ! STANDARD STEELS In by far the best-played game on the Lowell diamond this season the local team won an eleven-Inning bat-1 tie Sunday from the Standard Steel team of Hammond by a score of 4 to 3. Both teams were playing an excellent game from start to finish. Shurte was on the slab for Lowell and the visitors could do nothing at all . with his southpaw delivery, while the ;

Indiana Harbor, J Valparala. 2. Indiana Harbor won their fifth consecutive game when they beat Valpa- j ralso yesterday afternoon on the home grounds by the one-sided score of 9 to 2. Marceaux, who pitched for the lo- ' cals. was the whole show. He not only held the visitors absolutely helpless In eight out of the nine Innings, but made a two-bagger and a home run In his three times at bat. The Visitors made their two runs In the seventh inning when they got to him for three clean two-baggers in rapid succession. Aside from that one Inning but two men, one in the fifth and one in the eighth, were able to
reach first base. He struck out nrteen men and aside from the three twobaggrs allowed but one single, making four hits in all. The Harborites began their stickwork and their scoring In the third In-

Lynch planted a nice two-bagger in left field, scoring Walsh and Hilgendorf. A. Walsh then placed another two-bagger In exactly the same spot, scoring the captain. O'Brien hit a hot one to third base; but Grlswold fumbled and the center fielder was safe. He then stole second and the catcher threw to second base for a return throw to catch Walsh off third, but Ward fired the

base, and a rank decision by the umpire to decide the winner In the East-Chicago-Crown Point game, and as the umpire seemed to favor East Chicago 'at a critical moment it threw the balance of power in their favor, they winning a nip and tuck contest by a score of 5 to 4. In the . first Inning, Flavin, who was delegated to hold down the second sack for Crown Point, a new place for hlrn, started the blue streaks going by tangling up -a. presentation to him, the play finally being responsible for the two runs cashed in by the visitors In that Inning. Four errors afterward by other members of the team helped materially In humbling Crown Point. Hennlng
had the best of the argument with Inglls and Crown Point should have won hands down but for the above mentioned reasons. In the tenth inning Doll was called out at first In a glaringly unjust decision by the umpire, even the East Chicago team conceding
the point. For a time it looked like a
rough house for the ump, Mr. Doll rough-handling him to no small ex
tent for the decision which meant so much' to Crown Point. As Is usual, however. Crown Point took the pill and swallowed it, nTaklng the second
hard dose to take within the week.
The fans made a vigorous protest against the deciFton and many of them threaten to stop lending support to the Northern Indiana league if the
umpire Is the one to decide the games
for them. The game outside of these features' was a good one, brilliant plays being made by each team. East Chicago having strengthened wonderfully since Its
last appearance here. The score: CROWN POINT.

For a team aspiring to win a cham
pionship, the Cubs can do some won
derful things. They tossed the last
game of the series to the trailing Bos
ton Braves yesterday at the west side
park after having it won three differ
ent times. The final score was 7 to 6 and the distance to the top Is now sl
and a half games.
A lot of messy fielding by Chicago gave the game to Kllng's heartless
athletes. Four of the seven runs were
gifts. On the other hand, the Cubs whaled the ball unmercifully, making sixteen base hits for a total f nineteen bases and yet they wouldn't have scored even six runs without the aid of two bad errors on the part of the Braves. That many hits should yield about ten or a .1ozen runs In an ordinary game, but it's no ordinary game when Boston is playing. Some bang-up batting drove three Cubs over the plate in the first inning, and that should have won a game from a tall-end club. It wasn't
half enough. In the second the Cubs gave one to the Braves, then helped them get two and tie the count In the third.

Manager Callahan to Use
Walsh in Hopes of Gaining First Victory.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 26. The White Sox are on the last leg of their eastern trip of the year and at the conclusion of the three game series here with the coming champions Comlskey's men will set their faces toward the west.
Following an engagement which
opens here today Is an open date on
Thursday to bridge the Jump westward. Before returning home the White Sox will stop off for two games in Cleveland on Friday and Saturday.
One week from today will find the Callahans intrenched behind the
breastworks of Comlskey park to stay
there for the rest of the month of September, barring two or three days
at the finish.
Although they are fairly safe in
fourth place and have less than a gambler's chance to Improve their po
sition in the race this season, the White Sox are going to do their best to grab two games from Boston In the next three days. Having won two out of four in Washington, then three straight in Philadelphia, thereby dis
posing of the Athletics' hope for an
other championship, the Callahans feel
that it is only fair for them to try to throw a brief scare into Boston.
