HAMMOND TAGKLES BIG MMPCIISTEB Lake County Team Is First to Stack Up Against These Soldiers, Who Will Bring Their Band Along to Entertain Fans.

Ha rem on 1 has the distinction of b'".f th first semi-pm club !n or around '"il'sen to be Flavins the fast and senEat, onnl Camp Ouster baseball team. '-h will be th b'g attraction on next Sunday. Net to ts outdone, by the Jackies. who always furnish rler.fy of music wherever they go. the. soldiers have arransed for th S'th division banrl to accompany the team on their -visit to Hammond. Pn-duhn w i'l hav( to oxrn'l qii: a sum to pet the players and

band all the way from Fattle. Creek. Midi, so it is hord that Hammond sport lovers nil! turn out In goodly numbers, so as to at least guarantee the visitors their expenses. Although this is by far the hest attraction that Pa.-duhn has booked this season, he will not rnise his admission fee and the regular pries of 40 and 55 cents, which includes the war tax. will prevail Sunday. It may Interest the local fans to know that three Hammond players have been up for tryouts with the. hi league within the last 2 weeks. "Midgef Toole. o;r shotstop. was worklrx out last week end it Is possible lhat he may be called to join this team within the very near fu'ure. Fiedler, who played third base for Hammond in two or three games at the start of the season, has bpn signed by the CleveiHiid Indians. tt was solely through the efforts of Artie Hoftnin that Fiedler was given this chance In the- big show. The third man to have gone up in fast companv. in the last week, is none, other than the star of our club.'" nn.iiely. .Tehr.ny Mis'.:!, the rnrdst hitt.ng s"cond baseman playing semi-pro ball in or around Chicago tdav.

The man who elves himself over to weep end wailing because he believes there is ro interest in sports because of the tremendously important developments In Burope. is entirely wrongSomehow, peop of tls nation, of England and of France want their sports, war or no war. An indication of the popularity of pastime in the. Fast was well supplied last Memorial day. Despite, ihe fact that th day was gloomy, bordering- on rain, many thousands of persons made trips to places near New York to have sn afternoon of relaxation. At Bc'mont Park racetrack attractions in lmpo-lant stake races drew

more than 20.000 rersons. At Sheepshead Bay Speedway a motor race was scheduled and many thousands of persons tvent out before they were Informed that th event had been postponed because of a we, track. At the- Polo Ground twn ball frames had been scheduled, but one of tlini was postpone 1 because of the bad weather. Nevertheless, when th second game Wa started there were "O.f'00 fans In the stands.

HITLESS RECORD WHS BETTER LAST YEAR

By H. C. HAMILTON (United Fress S'aff Correspondent.) NEW TORK. June 21. When Dutch Leonard pitched a no-hit game against Detroit a few days ago, he accomplished something that was thice turned in to the records by the same time a year ago. On three different occasions, when weather conditions that were far less favorable, big league pitchera a year ago vaulted in-o the hall of fame with hitless victories. Two of the efforts also were attended by ; lark of runs on the part of the hltley. club . It was F.d lie I'ico'te, star of the world's champion Wlii Sox, who stepped in againr-t the St. Loins Brouns in the first serifs of the yea- in St. Louis last spring and turned bark the Fielder Jones aggregation with the minimum quantity of hits none. And a fewdays later along came Ernie Kor,n and accomplished the same thing, with the exception that L'rr.ie got into an argument with the official scorer and almost lost credit for the performance. Then George M"gridge pitched his only real good game of the season when he went against the Boston Bed Sox and set down that team without a hit. Whether this means that the pitching was better a year ago or that the hitting now Is better is a matter for speculation and deep study. There is no doubt that the pitching was aome better, for Cicotte has not been so good as he vjas a year ago. and the Yankees have been unable to help Mogrldge to many victories. However, hitting is no better, for practically the same layout of hitters has been doing the punching, and the averages are no more than normal. In fact, some of the averages have suffered woeful slumps. But these are the facts three hitless performances last sprinar. and one this year. If. as has been argued, the fans like free hittine contests, they have been well served during 191S.
