DEFEATED inics

Thjs nammonl baseball club, spurred to action by the bitter sting: of the Galllgan defeat, regained its strld. yesterday and trounced the Merrimacks of Chicago, 3 to 2. Simultaneously, the

club's standing In the City League was

boosted to .90. The same, which went

13 trains, was poor-ty attended, the rate showing l?s than 600 paid admissions TM3 did not come as a surprise to the majMigemit, nowever. Inasmuch as It was expected that a larga number of Hammondltes would take holiday

trlpa.

Although there wa3 an abundance of snappy plays and several flashes of brilliant team work; It could not be

classed with the Marley or Galllgan games. No credit should be taken from Pardnfm men for they xrere not pettins tne breaks, that's all-. They easily outplayed the visitors but -were hit tins badiyv while tack favored the sluggers for' the latter-. This rs clearly shown through the fact that Hammond scored three times on two clean and twe scratch hits-, whereas the Merrimack's two runs were the result of ten hltst Outfield Gets 'OTcrfcoufe. "aiack Thorn pstn who played his first tati game of the season In Rhode's position in right field, covered Mmself with, honors In that capacity. Walsh In center, shinwl eo.ttfl.Ily aa brisni.

It was started by X'armltt th-s "heavy" for the visitors.

After nine hard fought Innings the Elk Juniors were defeated. 13-12, by the Rosebuds. I This contest was featured by tho brilliant work of H. Meyers. In the sixth inning he had eleven strikeouts to his credit and In the remaining three Innings . he fanned seven more men. On the other side the brilliant work was done by Hap, the Rosebud pitcher, and the umpire, who, by the wa was one of the Rosebud fans. This umpire incensed the Elks so far that they came near following the example of the St. Louis fans. After Poltto, the centerfielder of the Elks, had hit a home run, the umpire declare! it a foul hall, though it was over a foot inside the fair line. But in the ninth inning came the worst decision of all; The score stood nine to nine when the Elks came to bat for tho last time. They managed to get three runs. After two out the Elks wanted to put In a pinch hitter, this the umpire would not allow, claiming that only bench men could bat in pinches. But when the Rosebuds came to bat the umpire allowed Hap, who was also the Rosebud's star batter, to bat three times in that seme Inning, The Elks outplayed the Rosebuds eery minute of the game but . they never at any time during the game outplayed the umpire.
