EAST CHICAGO WINS FIRST OF

ISut Chicago won the first of the series of three gamts to be played be- ' twMn Eut Chicago and Hammond at tha East Chicago park yesterday aft- ' emoon, by the close Boors of I to 1. ! Barring a couple of plays of poor : Judgment on the part of the winners, : the game was an exquisite peach from ' tart to finish. Both Young, pitching i for East Chioago, and his opponent. Morrow, were in perfect form and base hits were few and far between. East Chioago was the first to score in the third inning with two men out. Pad arson was accorded his second walk. TTUman then raised a high fly just out of reach of the infield between first and second, which O'Brien, playing center for Hammond, missed after a long run. Pederson scored from first on the misoue. By courtesy of the official scorer an error was not charged up against O'Brien and Ullman was given a hit. which probably was correct, aa the run was a long one for O'Brien and the chance a difficult one. Both sides then registered goose eggs from that on until the seventh, when Orabow tied up the score for Hammond. He opened that inning with a nice single to left and Hudson bunted. Pederson got the ball and had plenty of time to get it to Beech, who had covered first, but instead, attempted to tag Hudson before he could reach first. He failed in this and Hammond had a man on first and second with no one out. Morrow then advanced the runners a base by a neat sacrifice. Bergwald filed out to Schrimer, but Lasser hit a hot one at short, the latter fumbling the ball Just long enough to alolw Grabow to score and the runner to be safe on first. Lasaer promptly stole second without interference. Btaten then came to bat and the chance to win everlasting glory was his. But, unfortunately for him, like the famous Casey, he whipped the air and opportunity's knock was permitted to go unheeded. Hammond again threatened In the flghthe having two men en baaas, with ; none out. "In fact. Hammond had been threatening throughout the whole game and it kept Young Cy Young busy pitching himself out of holes cre ated either by himself or by his team ' mate. However, Young Cy is some pitcher when it comes to pinches and there were enthusiastic fans on the grounds who declared that Cy allowed batters to get on bases Just to show them that they couldn't make the clr- . cult. One notable Instance was in "the third inning when, after Morrow had made a base hit. he passed Bergwald and Lesser and then struck out Staten and Maybaum, Hudson having previously gone out on a foul to the catcher. The deciding score was registered in the last half of the .ninth .inning by Coleman, the first batter up, who reached first on a single to center and was advanced to third by Walsh's timely two-base hit. At -this Juncture, with Coleman on third and Walsh on second, the crowd began to holler for Braden to bat in place of Beech. Brad-

THE SERIES

en was call fid out by Manager Pederson and doffed his sweater, balanced and swung two or three different bats, put his sweater on again and retired to the bench. Beech then stepped up to the plate and with one mighty heave. shot the ball over the shortstop's had. scoring the winning run and making the crowd sorry they spoke. Thls account has gone far enough, but it would be a mighty mean thing to close it without mention of Lasser's wonderful one-handed running catch In left field in the seventh inning, robbing Walsh of a two and possibly a three-base hit. The game was watched by one of the largest crowds that ever attended a game in Bast Chicago and it is safe to presume that there was scarcely a fan present who will not make it his special business to be on hand to see the same teams with the same batteries tie up again tomorrow at the Whiting ball park, Hammond having leased the park in the absence of one of their own. , , ELECTRICAL DEPT., 4; BLAST FURNACES, 11 (By Prof. George M.

Jules Goux, driving a Peugeot, carried the colors of France to victory in the third annual 600-mlle race here yesterday, defeating the representatives of flve different countries for the international speedway championship. His time was 6:81:43.45, an average of 78. S3 miles an hour. Spencer "Wishart and Ralph De Palma jointly defended America In the Mercer, which finished second, six minutes and thirty-seven seconds behind the leader. Charles Merz of the Stats team finished third, and Albert Guyot of England was fourth in a Sunbeam. Theodore Pillette of Belgium carried the colors of the Chicago Automobile club to fifth position in his MercedesKnight. Joe Dawson, who won last year's race, averaged 7.7 miles an hour. This is the world's best mark for the distance. Goux might have beaten it if he had been forced. He had the speed, but there was no necessity of using it. Two Hart in Only Accident. Jack Tower of the Mason team was caught beneath his car when it upset on the backstretch, turning the onehundredth lap, and suffered a broken leg. His mechanic Lee Dunning, was thrown clear of the wreck and escaped with a pair of broken ribs. This was the only serious accident. Goux assumed the lead at 135 miles and retained it. He won. In addition to the grand prise three of the world's most famous racing' trophies the Remy Brassard for the 200-mile victory, the Presto-Lite trophy for the 300-mile triumph, and the WheelerSchleber cup for first place at the 400mile mark. In addition to the $20,000 prise for first place in the big race, he will receive in addition trophies and cash remunerations amounting to another $20,000. Goux drove a perfect race. He was aided materially by the work of Johnny Aiken, former National racing team manager, whose craftiness was partially responsible for Joe Dawson's victory last year. Aiken overcame the natural tendency of the Gallic dlsposi- ! tlon and held Goux's driving within reason. Goux after the race frankly ! aatrlbuted his victory In a great measure to the efficient pit work and signailing for which he said Aiken was responsible.

got two hits, batted in a run and stole three bases. The Coke Plant started with a spring and annexed three in the first inning on two singles and a double, a sacrifice, a error and a passed ball. Their only other run came In the fifth on two hits, a stolen base and a bobble. The Rail waited and were gooseegged until the sixth, when they took two on two hits, a wild pitch and a base on balls. In the last Benight hit and stole second "krtd Rhoades scored him with a hit. Crosier went out far behind the grand stand in the last for a pretty catch of a high foul. In the second Inning he made another one of the stellar variety on one that went far along the four line. Hamilton for the Rail also pulled a difficult one of the same genus.

After being helpless in the hands of Joe Lake for seven rounds of the forenoon thing they rallied with two gone In the eighth Inning and cut down all but one lap of Detroit's lead. Before they could be subdued they had runs waiting to be scored from second and third and If Ray Schalk had saved up his single for that spot it would have broken up'the game. ' The Tigers never had a look' in during the matinee, for the south siders got the Jump at the take-off and kept right on Jumping their score almost as fast as Manager Jennings changed pitchers. He sent In five and sifted in pinch hitters at every possible point until he had used sixteen Tigers, without producing m6re than a single scratch on the score board. Callahan was even more liberal in the use of athletes In the morning. He had seventeen White Sox in the fray, including himself. COLLEGE J5ASEBALL. Brown, 9; Harvard, 4. Holy Cross, 8; Dartmouth, .

TWELVE CRIMSON QUALIFY FOR MEET Top List in Eastern Games With Cornell and Penn Tied for Second. Cambridge, Mass., May 31. Out of the preliminary stage of the annual intercollegiate track and field championships which were begun in the Harvard stadium yesterday there emerged four score of student athletes qualified to participate in the semUflnal and final events of today. Although the competition was keen it was not production of any record performances. A fluky wind was the cause generally assigned. In the fight for qualifications Harvard was unexpectedly the leader with twelve men. Cornell which with Pennsylvania had been regarded as the principal contender for the championship placed ten athletes while Pennsylvania will carry only eight men into today's events.
