BRILLIANT YOUNG PITCHER

STRIKE OUT RECORD

(Special to The Times.) DTER, IND.. June 19. Lawrence Hilbrich the brilliant young ritcher of the Dyer High School kids lived up. to his reputation in the game between the school nine and the Tlobertsdale Grays at Dyer Sunday. In this game he held his opponents to six hits, issued but two bases on balls, and struck out total of twenty men. He used his slow ball with deadly effect, and his "smoke ball" which he mixed in occasionally was practically unhittable.

Grays, together with some timely clouting by the Dyer lads proved to be the downfall of the- visitors. The visitors scored a run In the first on a base on balls, a single and a wild pitch. The Dyer lads came back in their halfmd quickly tied the score when Airstgen singled, stole second went to third on an Infield out. and then made a mad dash for the plate while the visiting pitcher was arguing with the umpire over a called ball. He gained the decision at the plate after making a desperate slide. In the second the Dyer lads went into the lead scoring two runs by some good sttckwork. aided by a wild pitch. After that they steadily Increased their lead, scoring a run In each of the third, fourth and fifth Innings, and two more In their half of the eighth. In the sixth the Grays appeared as if they might start something, however with a man on sec-.

A moment later Frktz scored the Gray's last marker when the pitcher threw wild to third in an attempt to catch him off the bag. Lawrence then tightened and quickly fanned the next two batters. In the ninth the Grays sent up their three supposedly heavy stickers, batting out of turn. Their efforts, however, were in vain as Teterson and Marbel whiffed, and Moors wound up the. game by tapping a puny grounder to th5 pitcher. The score: Dyer II.

DEFEAT KINDT COLTS Sunday, the 17th, the East Chicago Tigers journeyed to Lansing, 111., and trimmed the Kindt Colts. 2-1, in ten innings. The game was a pitcher's duel throughout with Faherty the Tiger's star having the edge. At the finish of the game the Lansing team protested an out at third and not only refused to turn over the side bet but members of the team and rabid fans mobbed the Tigers and refused to allow the manager and the East Chicago umpire to depart. The Tigers regret the unfortunate occurrence as they realize that only clean scraping and hard, clean playing will aid the national pastime to the popularity it deserves. Manager Jos. Stachura and Frank Loda a popular young business man of East Chicago were detained until seven o'clock in the evening and rather, than remain in the bastile over night paid over a fine under protest and were al

lowed to depart. est Sunday the East Chicago Tigers cross bats with the strong Nagdeman A. C. of Indiana Harbor. A warm reception Is expected as the Xagdemans are going strong and are a hard team to beat. The Tigers hav yet to lose their first game, having won six to date. The score:

Umpire-Bill Byron.

"Singing Bill" Byron, alias "Lord" Byron, the National league "umpire, has been declared by President Tener to be one of the best umps in the business. Yet Bill has a -way of getting mixed up in lots of scraps. Even the more peaceful managers, have their rows with him and he seems to clash with McGraw whenever they meet. McGraw recently swung on Byron's jaw at Cincinnati and the fracas is one that Tener must adjudicate.

At Memphis Pal Moore heat Kid Wolfe (8). At Nashville Al Evane heat Art Wellsbacker (8). At New Orleans Snnhuret Solan heat Jack Basso (15). At Cincinnati Jeff Smith heat Xen Bowlanda (15). At Philadelphia Billy Kramer heat Mike HcTiffue (6). NEW TORK, June 19. It took Benny Leonard a little less than three rounds to thump all the fight out of Johnny Nelson at the Harlem Sporting club last night, by way of celebrating his debut in Xew Tork as the lightweight champion of the world. Nelson took a terrific beating, being floored six times in all. once in the second and five times in the third. After going down for the last count, he arose, very groggy, and Referee Kid McPartland placed his arms around Nelson and led him to his corner. It was the ffrst time that Nelson had ever been Btopped. Nelson was game and the harder he was hit the harder he came In for more. As early as the first round it was plain to be seen that Nelson was not going to be in championship company long. Wavers to His Corner. When the bell rang for the first round Nelson had a few private ideas as to the general direction of his corner. He made it finally, but not on a bee line. The first knockdown came in the second round. A short right hook sent him sprawling, but he could take it, and got up and fought like a fiend until the boll rang. Nelson will remember the third round the longest day he lives. McPartland saved him from going down just after the bell. A right hand smash knocked him into arbitration and McPartland grasped him to save both from going to the floor In a heap. Qime Attempt to Tig ht On. A right brought Nelson to his knees in his own corner just after this. He got up and was kept busy getting up and going down. He took the count on
