their attemptes "Whitings premier forward came through with his usual stellar work, scoring 12 of hiS team's IS points. However, it was always five men. instead of one, who faced East Chicago. The score at the end of the first half was 3 to 0, which in Itself proves the close guarding of Capt. Naef and Moore. Buehler fairly outplayed his burly rival lloicsouski. w hile Laucr more than held his own. After getting away to a bad start Whiting came back in a manner which leaves no doubt as to its right to hold first place in the. county race, as is the case. The score: Whiting- (13).

There ha been a number of fighting twins in pugilistic history, but Fink and R'.uc Hawley were perhaps the original twin battery in baseball. Emerson, better known as rink, was the pitcher, while his twin brother was behind the bat. The Hawley twins were born forty-five years ago and early took to baseball. At first their paritcipation in the game was often a tource of confusion, as they were so much alike that oionrts nor foe could tell them

apart save by a close examination. To ertabfe their comrades to distinguish them, the twins got caps of different rine a rink 'un and
