HITS, WO-RUNS

FORPETER Weather Was Raw and Hungry and Oh Well Just Look at the Box Score. . For the first time in the history of semi-professional baseball In Hammond j a no-hit no-run game -was pitched, it I happened yesterday against the touted Murleys of Chicago. Hammond winning 7 to 0, at Farduhn park. And Pet Henning did K. The Weather man played havoc with the attendance, not quite 500 fans being on hand, but It didn't slow up Pete, who used his faithful right arm to perfection. The Murleys didn't get a bingle that was a semblance of a hit. Only three men saw first base, two on errors and tha other on a free ticket, the only one tendered. The few that did manage to connect were easily thrown out at first. Hennlng's support infield and in the gardens was perfect. At bat Hammond hammered the visiting tr.oundsman. Kearns, for clean hits, one three-bagger, which, by the way was knocked by Fete, two two-baggers and nine well placed stngles. It was Indeed a day for laurels to be placed on Pitcher Pete's frowzsy brow and roses given to his support. If Hammond keeps up its pace it will make the other fifteen competing teams in the Chicago City league sit up and take notice. This is Hammond's first year in regular company and It has already earned the name of a hard hitting and well balanced team. One Chicago j paper calls iiammona j. ne yei ui iub league." Next Sunday will be gala day at Parduhn park. The Galligans, long enemies of Hammond, will make Its try to knock Hammond from the 1.000 percentage class. Last year the Galligans won two games from the Hammond club, but from a different caliber of players. This year's team is said to be undoubtedly the strongest that ever represented the city. Paul Parduhn, manager, has several surprises for the fans next Sunday, which he won't disclose until the latter part of the week. It leaked out yesterday, however, that a patriotic display of some sort would be on the program. Getting back to the game, more must be said of Henning's work. He fanned eleven and passed only one. Kearns was credited' with but three strike-outs and a wild pitch. From the start Hennlng had things his own way. His control was perfect and catcher Hudson supported splendidly. Besides T1I3 spectacular pitching record, Pete slammed the sphere for three bases and a single. Only hard luck kept Pete from getting a home run. The ball hit the top of the left field fence and bounced back in field. He had to hurry to make it a three-bagger. Shortstop Palmer starred both in fielding and hitting, getting a two base hit and two singles. "Wilkinson got a two-bagger and Hudson cleaned up with three dandy singles. Palmer started things by pulling a Ty Cobb exhibition. Rohde. the first 3t

CHAPPELLE IS ONCE 3IORE FAST RECRUIT

N ' r .4 if Larry Chappelle. Larry Chappelle, the $18,000 beauty of several seasons ago, is once more a promising big league recruit. The White Sox bought him from the Milwaukee A. A. team a few seasons back for the price of $18,000 but Larry didn't show the brilliance he promised. Last season with Columbus in the American Association he batted .318 and looked so good that George Stallings now has him with the Braves. But the price this time was somewhat less. man up, had fanned. Palmer placed one in right field. In his scramble to catch the ball the Murley gardener stubbed his toe and fell on his nose. The center fielder ran for it and looked for the runner on first. He wasn't there. Palmer had pwlled the unexpected Ty Cobb's favorite trick and had made it a twobagger. He came home on "Walsh's base-line single. Runs were earned easily. In the second, fourth and sixth innings two runs were scored in each. Kearns could not stop Hammond from hitting and only his fairly good support kept the score down to seven. Box Score Hammond.
