!s from start to finish Hammond

yesterday defeated East Chicago by the ecore of 5 to 2 In the second and deciding; contest of the series. Now that East Chicago Is out the way Hammond will take on Gary as their next victims. A series of three parries is now being arranged with the- Steel City aggregation, to definitely decide the championship of the county or rather the northern Indiana title. Getting back to yesterday'! scrap with the lads from Twin City it sure was some battio replete with plays throughout that will probably never again be Peer on the local diamond. Th big: feature stunt of the afternoon was a fast triple rlay staged ty Wallis-.r. Knight and Thompson In the eighth inning. Hanley. the- East Chicago catcher, was first up In this frame and efter ha scratched a hit to Knight. Walliser missed a perfect throw from Hudson to orce Hanley on Morgan's bunt and this rut runners on f.rst and secend with nobody out. Simons was lent up to sacrifice but after fouling off the first pitch and then swinging at a high ball for a secod strike he finally connected squarely end drove a line drive directly into Walliser's hands. With both basemnners or. the run Wal-

Hser tossed to Knight, who quickly returned the. throw to Thompson thereby a'.mph tins what is thought to be the only triple play ever staged on the local diamond. It certainly was a quick piece of work and the bail was handled fast and cleanly by every man. Involved in the p'-ay. Just li'.co last Sunday, East Chicago start rd as if they wre out to make a million run;-., but feil short after the second inning when they scored their second and last run of the game, same as in the first content. Seems though Reynolds tightens up after the f.rst two frames as the Twin City lads were at his mercy most all the rest o.f the way.

In the first inning Simon started off with a clean hit to right field, was sacrificed to second by Davis and then after Bloom struck out and Schwenke was hit by a pitched ball Babin came through with another single to right, scoring Simons with the first run of tho game. On tho throw home, Babin tried to go to second but was an easy out, Hudson to Knight. Thomas popped out weakly to Thompson to start the second, but not so with I'otts who got hold of one of Reynolds' spitters and sent it sailing over the right field fence. Pome drive, especially for a right hand hitter and a youngster at that. As Potts trotted around the sacks the East Chicago bugs went into spasms of joy while the Hammond fans sat there dumbfounded as they didn't seem to realize what had happened. In fact i looked like Potts was a little surprised himself to think that he could clout a homer off o Big Jim Reynolds, when none of Chicago's semipros have been able to turn the

trick this summer. After Tottsy's four base smash Hanly went out on an easy roller but Mortan cracked out a two-baie hit which O'Neil got his lands on but couldn't hold. He recovered the ball in time, however, to relay it to third and caught Morgan trying to stretch the blow to three bases. It looked like bad baserunning to try and make three sacks on

a l;:r. that wa3 good for only two. After

third on a neat sacrifice by Walliser. only to be thrown out at the plate on O'Neills hot roller to the shortstop. On a hit -a d run play Nies got a blow that Simons wa slucky to knock down, sending O'Neil to third. Nies stole second but Knight wound up the inning with a ground ball to the third baseman. In the second after two were out Hudson got hit by a ritched ball and Reynolds scratched a hit over second base sending Homer to third. Jim went to second on the throw in, but both runners were stranded when Gallan popped to Schwenke. After one out in the third O'Neil singled only to bo

doubled up on Nies lino drive to Simon. The East Chicago fans applauded loudly on this play. After plugging along for three innings without a run Hammond finally got busy In the fourth and tied the score on three clean hits and an error by the catcher. Knight first up started oft with a single to right but was forced at second on Thompson's tap to the pitcher. Right here is where Sugar Handy, the darkhorse who was playing centerfield in place of Rhode, came through. With the third baseman playing in "Shug" pasted a line drive over his head sending Thompson to second. With Hudson at bat Hanley threw wild to catch Tommy narping. so both he and Sugar moved up a bae when the ball rolled to centerfield. With the infield drawing in Hudson singled to left sending both runners and tielng the score. Red went to second on the throw home but got no farther when Reynolds popped to the second baseman and

Walliser went out on a slow roller io the pitcher after Gallan had walked. Hammond broke the tie in the fifth after two men were out. O'Neil first up cracked out a two-base hit but Nies struck out after getting himself in a hole with two strikes, trying to bunt. Knight followed with another hit to left sending O'Neil to third. Thompson, next up, hit to the pitcher and O'Neil was

out at the plate

Midway Coach Sees No Reason for Uncertainty Regarding Grid Sport. A. A. Stagg, the old man of the Mid

way, is going over rlans and specifications for a 1315 Maroon football machine. Just as he prepared for teams of ante bellum days. Tho doubt regarding the future of football which envelops many schools lr totally lacking at the University of Chicago and. judging by Stagg's statements, there is no reason at all for any uncertainty. "Oh, yes," Stagg answered to a ques

tion regarding Maroon gridiron plans, "we will have a team as visual. No. I don't expect that the 1S-43 dra,ft lawwill interfere with our plans for a number of universities and colleges throughout the country, including Chicago, have

been designated training camps by the government. Boys in these institutions will be detailed to their own schools for training when they enroll under the selective service act, and they will be trained there until they are ready. Thus. I believe that the draft will not result in any great uphcaal in college life, and I don't think football or other sports and recreations will be seriously affected."
