Instea dof the G. A. Tanks Hammond Will Take on Fast Ravenswoods.
ME
The Hammond fans were so persistent In having Manager Nagel schedule aj Chicago League team for tomorrow's!
rim that he has, after considerable lifficulty, cancelled the game with the General American and in their stead he booked the fast going Ravenswoods who In their last game defeated the Cragins by the one-sided score of 10 to 3. The best that Dave Black could do against the Ravenswoods with the Normals was to beat them by the exceedingly close score of Z to 1. While they scored only one run off of Black, they gathered a total of eleven hits and according to heir reputation in Chicago semi-pro circles they sure arc a heavy bunch of clouters. The Ravenswood team was not on the regular schedule for Hammond until later in the season, but owing to the fact that they did not have a game booked for Sunday. Nagel succeeded in inducing their manager to push up the fiimc of a later date so that he could satisfy the demand of local sport followers' and Rive Hammond same real stiff opposition. Nagel w ishes to explain to - the fans (hat the reason f- booking the General American tram was not to give Uaichley a chance to redeem himself, but to respond to the request of several hundred .'ans from the Genera! American plant who are regular patrons of the local park everv Sunday. However when the
General American crowd saw the attitude taken by the other local sports they realized Nagel's predicament and readily agreed to allow him to book some club from the Chicago" League in rlace of the team representing their plant. If Callahan gets back at second base for Hammond in tomorrow's game they will present the same lineup that won twelve straight before going down to defeat at the hands of Jolieu A week from tomorrow Hammond takes on their toughest game of the season when they travel to Gunther Fnrk to play Niesen's all-star outfit. If their game with the Gunthers proves successful Hammond
MORE OBJECTORS TO PRACTICE
Sporting Editor Times: Just a few more lines to protest against the brand of ball games that are being played. One more hundred fans are disgusted with these scrub teams. Other teams of the league are playing REAL ball. The fans of Hammond arc not by any means demanding cheap baseball, and if they keep furnishing any more such games the fans will have to go elsewhere for real ball games. Respectfully, A SCORE OF INTERESTED FANS.

I When he arrived in Hammond yester
day after an absence of several days
Joe was easily the most heset man in town. He had already read the letters from the fans in The Times and didn't want any more of them. Joe first called up the manager of the. General American tank team and told him the game was cancelled. N'agel next wasted some money on long distance telephone calls finally, learning that the Ravenswood team of the Chicago league had an open date for tomorrow. He booked them at once. Ravenswood had won seven out of nine games played this season and is considered up to the standard set down by the fans in their communications. Strunk will pitch for the visitors and either Buckeye or Baichley will twirl for Hammond. Following are the games scheduled for the rest of the season. Aug. 3. Gunthers at Gunther Tark. Aug. 10, Waukegan at Hammond. Aug. 17. Kenosha at Kenosha.
Aug. 24. Kenosha at Hammond.
"jack Reddy. manager of Billy Mlske. was breezing about town yesterday, impressing sporting writers with the fitness of his fighter for a go for the world's heavyweight championship, in which Jack Dempsey would be asked to participate "even for a few moments." Reddy admits Miske is under-going a vegetable diet for a spinal ailment, but says he will be O. K. In another month and can start training if Dempsey will accept his challenge. Reddy believes the Auditorium in Milwaukee would be a fine place to stage the title affair and refers to 'some- time next winter" as the date." Several members of Chicago's city council will sit at the rir gside in Benton Harbor next Saturday afternoon and watch Joe Welling and Sailor Friedman battle. Mike Rosenberg, a west side politician, has arranged to take a large number of the city fathers to the Michigan town. The boners will finish their training at Ike Bernstein's Eastman Springs. Benton Harbor. Charley White yesterday started training at the Arcade gymnasium.
By JACK VEIOCK (International News Sport Editor.) NEW YORK. July 26. Has John McGraw dealt himself a pennant-winning hand? New Tork fans are speculating on the question today, following the announcement of MeGraw's latest deal with the Chicago Cubs, whereby I'itcher Pin! Douglas comes to the Giants for outfielder Davey Rohertson. Clinging to the lead in the National League championship race, with the season more than half over, the Giant man-
.373 ager has made it possible through two j
shrewd deals from a New Tork standpoint, to fortify his team by the introduction of an entirely new and competent batting team.
Few managers in the history of organized baseball have been able to inject a new battery into a pennant race in mid-season, but the acquisition of Douglas, following the trade with Louis whereby Catcher Frank Snyder came to the Giants for Ferdie Schupp j has made New Tork fans almost cock- i sure of the National league pennant. I McGraw has the best hitting club in! the league. Its hitting and the speed of i its outfield tr;o Burns. Kauf? and' Toung off-sets any defects that may ; be found in the veteran Giant infield, Mn infield, by the way, which has been holding up admirably. ! Barnes, Causey. Benton and Tony, with a hitting team like the Giants behind them, might be able to win the ; pennant without help, considering their j performances to date. But in Douglas; it is evident thit McGraw believes he has secured a pitcher who can win from six to ten games during the remainder' of the season. Douglas, therefore, gives j the Giants the balance of power. Mc- ; Graw Is playing safe. i According to the latest averages i Douglas has been pitching at a .60(1 pit j with a club of less hitting ability behind i him than the Giants. If he does that; well, or better, as he should do now, for j the remainder of the season, the Giants, are bound to profit. The Douglas-Robertson deal benefitted both clubs. Robertson's hitting ability j Is badly needed by the Chicago team and f Manager Mitchell, with a top-heavy pitching staff, did not hurt the chances of his club, theoretically by letting
Douglas get away. Meanwhile the fars !n other National League cities are asking: "Can McGraw get away with !t?"
