(By JtNGOE.) Paul Farduhn's Hammond baseball club, champions of the City Baseball League of Chicago and vicinity, if you please: That is the title that the local speed-merchants won for themselves yesterday, and it was superior baseball, coupled with capable management, that turned the trick. Hammond may well afford to pat Itself on the bak now, for it can boast of a bunch of c'.e.-in-eut. intelligent baseball players, who "rull-together' and "!isten-to-the-teacher" spirit has enabled them to defeat the fastest semi-pro teams in the city of Chicago. When the local club beat Waukegan yesterday it; dealt her her first defeat of the season, and did it without even a hint at an unfair decision, and left the visitors without an alibi. We simply swept them oft their feet. Three thousand fans witnessed the game and they gave the team more support than has been shown at any game in the past. An abundance of "ps p" among supporters of a team has often won a baseball contest, and Hammond fans surely did their share to bring home the bacon yesterday. Lack of interest in the past has. no doubt, been due to the fact that in the latter part of the schedule, Hammond had been playing repeaters with teams which it had already played, earlier in the season and our former victories over them had robbed the losers of their attractions. The schedule called for return dates, however, and we had to play the repeaters. In the future, the best teams available will be selected and Hammond fans are anticipating a higher grade of entertainment. A Summary of the Gams. Henning again covered himself with honors by batting 1.000, thereby leading the list of stick artists. Both he and Hoffman ccme in for a good share of the victory. We don't want to take any more credit from Waukegan than we can help but they should never have had that one run. That score was presented to them by Mostil and Kavanaugh. The latter erred, allowing a man to reach second and Mostil made a single out of a possible double play, that let the run in. Moll cams in for an error too., but his was almost unavoidable. He gathered up the ball all right but stumbled while getting set for the peg to first. Kis man never got past that bag. The box score: Hammond. ab. r. h. e. Kavanaugh.

iLSO SEND BASEBALL

NEWS TO FRANCE

Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington American League club, who has charge of the Bat aril Ball fund from which the revenue is derived to send baseball paraphernalia to the American boys in the trenches, has also now made arrangements whereby the soldiers in France will have all the baseball news that they wish, he having just placed an order for 500 copies of The Sporting News, the official baseball paper, to be sent to General John J. Fershing. United States Army, Somewhere in France. When it was originally decided to forward baseball paraphernalia to the soldiers in France it was not planned to send baseball news, but on account of the persistent demand among some of the soldiers who do not wish to play, but who want copies of The Sporting News, they will receive them in the future. In addition to these papers which Mr. Griffith has ordered, J. G. Taylor Spink, publisher of The Sporting News, has been sending five hundred copies of the paper each week to Harry Kingman, of the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. stationed in Paris, France.

The Kelly-Springfield Tire has as many plies of fabric in a 3-inch tire as other tires have in their 4-inch tire. The tensil strength of the complete carcass of a 3y'inch Kelly-Springfield is as great as that of the average or special 5-inch tire, and in other sizes their superior strength ranges from 40 to 114 per cent. We have never seen a broken fabric we have never been asked to make an adjustment on a Kelly-Springfield tire.
