GARY PUTS UP STIFF BATTLE

Buckeye, the Visiter's Richer, Showed Hammonj a Lot of Stuff Yesterday,

THESE TWO BASEBALL STARS HELP MAKE NAVAL TRAINING TEAM CHAMPION CLUB

Gary (tave Hammond a much stiffer battle than was expected in the first fame cf the championship serifs The f.n3l score was 3 to 2 with Hammond on the long: end. It was mainly through the efforts of Buckeye, the bis husky t'outbraw- just recently returned from a trycut with Washington, that the Stee" '""'.ty lads were able to put up the kind of opposition that they did. Buckeye, who is a tal! and well built

left handrr. showed the local lads about j sis much Muff as aiiv pitcher 'hat Ins . feced Hammond this year. That lie hid I a pood assortment of 6 tuff, inclaam both a dandy fast ball as well as a nice J curve, was proven by the fact lie let t h j local? down with five measly hits, two i of which were of the scratch variety I an3 in addition h struck out an even J ten men. Had the Hammond team been j btirk c.f Buckeye, it is very likely that , the score would have been reversed as i

there is no question hut what he had tnc hardest bunch of hitters to work acainst. As for Reynolds ha turned In another cne of his regular games, allowing the Gary bunch only four hits anj getting: eight batters by the strikeout route. Neither one of Gary's ntns were earned as both scores were made on errors, one en a misplay by Waiiiser and the other on a slip by Hudson. 5 Gary was f.rst to score as they started right out in the opening frame when the leadoff man got a base on balls, was sacrificed to second ad scored all the way from the middle sack when Reynolds threw to catch the runner r.applnff. broke through Waiiiser and rolled to the outfield. This run. which was all, until the fifth, was put over without the aid of a hit. Hammond did r.pthinsr in their half o.f the f.rst but in the econd they tied il up when Nies doubled, rulled a swell delayed steal off third base and then scored on Thompson's Infield out. The frame remained a tie until the f.fth. when Gary again forged to the front, this time scoring a run after two men were out. Jennings, who brought in the first run in the opening inning, singled af'er two down and the stole second. Harris hit a slow roller to third which Nies fumbled and Jennings was caught dead in his tracks between third and home but after tossing the ball back and forth three or four times Hudsen finally hit the runner In the head wi'h the ball, allowing him to score with ease. Harris, who had gotten around to third in the excitement, also tried to sneak in on the. misplay but he was an easy out. Kr.igM to Thompson, who was covering the plate. This was all ,for Gary, but In the lucky sever.tii Kamrr.or.d stepped out 8nd won the fime cn two clean hits, a

"Existing private switchboard and other equipment has been thoroughly gone ever and large additions made. Still larger additions axe now under way.
