(By JINGOE.) Hammond v.-!U tackle one of the strongest contenders for the City League championship next Sunday, when they again meet the Ideals of Chicago. The Ideals are the strongest travelilr.gr team in the league and are at present in third place. Old Dame Fortune smiled broadly upon Hammond ivhen It beat this club in their first mtxup. The local sluggers took the visiting twirler by surprise, and dragged In six counts In the very first session. Then they rallied and after nine hard fought innings the score st. 11 stood at 6 and 0. The Ideals claim to have received a rotten deal at the hands of Albany Park last Sunday and were literally "cheated" out of a sure vi-1n. In the eighth inning thy had Albany Tark groggy and held the long end of a 4 to 3 score. One of their sluggers poled out a clean twobagger that lit fully five feet inside the left foul line, and the umji called it foul. This unfair decision, of course, brought a storm of protest from the Ideals, and even the Albany Park supporters howled their disgust. The Jatter team refused to continue the show unless the decision was changed, so the umpire took advantage of the authority that was vested in him and awarded the game to Albany Park. Hammond is tied with A- Park for second place In the league, but she is to be congratulated upon her clean victories as compared with those of her closest rival. We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of that threegame series.

THE STANDING

CINCINNATI, Aug. 3. The Brooklyn players held a meeting yesterday morning at the Havlin hotel and started a soldiers' fund. President Ebbets led off with a subscription of J500 and the players put in the same amount, making $1,000 in all. The sum will be used for the purchase of Liberty bonds, and it will be added to from time to time. Mr. Ebbets expects to play soma Sunday games at Ebbets field, and the team may go barnstorming for a week or so after the regular season is over, putting all the receipts of such games Into the fund. The money will be used to assist the families of any of the players who are drafted. In case they need assistance.
