Lhb Beau proved the "Casey." -with a shot over the fence that cut the lead to one run. Then Kilby was soft on an error and George Perring. after fouling two balls, crashed Uie iecond homer of the round. The Gunthers "broke the Ice by ricking up three runs In the fourth and nfth innings, after the game- had Wn repeatedly stopped by rain. So many fans turned out that the dashes to shelter ventured near the danger line. Th sun finally arrived, and after the Gunthers had cleaned up their three the Hammonds replied with four on straight hitting ofT Dave Black. who plainly weakened. The wet field charged up a lot of errors to the fielders. Score: Quntkers. r. h. po. a. Driseo'.l. !. 1 0 3 1 IeBeau. rf. 3 2 3 0 Kilby. lb. I- 2 17 1 Terring. 3b 1 2 3 3 McManus. 2b. 0 Oil "Warden.

The swell pitch;njtj of one Allan Sothoron is the main factor in keeping Jimmy Burke's Brownies in the pennant chase. The gent with the red tsnderf-hirt recently hung tip, a ptring of r.ine straight victories. It took Eddie Cicotte to halt Allan's winning streak.

Connie Mack says he has picked Op the most promising looking ball player that has broken into the American league since 5eorge Sisler arrived. Maurice Burrus, nis new first baseman from the Columbia, S. D., club of the South Atlantic league, is the man he boasts of. "This boy cannot help making pood," says the leader of the Athletics. "All. you have to do is to see him in action to appreciate him. He is about the size of Hal C'hase, bats and throws left-handed and is wonderfully fast on the bases." Burrus is a young collegian and his great playing created a sansation in the South Atlantic league. His work both offensively and defensively was so impressive that several big league clubs sent their scouts to Columbia to look at him. Mack, however, hustled down to Columbia and quickly put over the deal for the first baseman. It is said that Connie spent more money for Burrus than he has paid for a player in a number of years. In baseball reminiscences In the Yale University Graphic, Prof. William Lyon Phelps speaks of the catchers of the seventies, who used to stand at the plate without mask, shinguards, chest pad or gloves. Silver Flint of the Chicago nine, he says, was in a railway accident and fortunately escaped without a scratch. He was standing by the edge of the track when a surgeon came along, and, looking at his hands, said: "My poor man, you'll have to have those fingers amputated." Flint, of course, laughed. His gnarled and twisted fingers were the natural result of years behind the bat without protective armcr. Prof. Phelps adds that the early masks afforded but slight protection. "I saw Hubbard, '83 Sheff. receive a hall in the forehead which covered bis face with blood. A piece of stick HIT WILL PLAY DESPITE MS ILLNESS INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE ) PITTSBURGH. Ta.. Aug. 18. The seventy-five golfers who qualified In Saturday's preliminary round of the national amateur championship tournament on the course of the Oakmont Country Club today, started in the final qualifing matches. The play today consists of 36 holes, medal play, and the 32 best scores will qualify for match play which will begin tomorrow and continue for the rest of the week. Much concern was felt over the Illness of Francis Ouimet. the brilliant young Boston star and former amateur champion. Caught in the drenching rainstorm Saturday as he was finishing hi3 card Ouimet went to bed immediately. He had a high fever all day yesterday and waa attended by three physicians. Although better today, he started play against the advice of his physicians. ' I will go on if I have to be carried around by litter-bear rs." he said. Ouimet turned in the second best score Saturday. WHITING NEWSBOYS WIN ANOTHER f SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHITING. Ind., Aug. 16. Whiting Newsboys defeated the Whiting Juniors at the Whiting ball park by a score of 15 to 9.. The Whiting Junior pitcher weakened in the fifth inning and was relieved by Andy Drevianko. E.

K ft . ' ' cOthfi ing plaster was provided, and th game went merrily on." As Prof. Phelps remarks, it required nerve to play lehind the bat in those days. Jose R. Capablanca, who is arranging his affairs preparatory to his departure the latter part of this month for England to take part in the Victory tournament of the British Chess association at Hastings August 11 to 23, recently received word from the City of London Chess club to the effect that he had ben unanimously elected an honorary member of that organization. Tha British recently won the AngldAmerican cable match trophy. Furthermore the club requested that Capabianc&'s first exhibition in Great Britain follow the Hastings tournament at the British Chess club rooms. , The City of London Chess club, as will be recalled. xpelled both Dr. Emanuel Lasker, tha world's chess champion, and Dr. Siegpert Tarrasch. the German champion, from honorary member, ship soon after the outbreak of tha war. Sam Crawford, the famous outfielder, formerly with the Detroit Tigers, is still hitting the ball. According to the latest figures Sara is leading the Pacific Coast league in batting with an average of .379. It has been Crawford's timely hitting that has been instrumental in putting the Los Angeles team in the lead. Many of Sam's hits have been for extra bases. After shutting out the New York Yankees, 2 to 0, in the first game at the Polo ground recently, Carl Mays of the Boston Red Sox failed in his "iron man" stunt when tha Yankees batted him hard in the early innings of the second contest, winning by a score of 4 to 1. Mays wi the first major league pitcher to twirl a double header this seasonWHITE EAGLES Gary baseball bugs saw their idols, the White Eagles, come back into their own at Gleason Park yesterday afternoon, after suffering a 7-0 defeat at the hands of "her old rival. Hammond, a week ago. In a one-sided but Interesting fray they defeated the Blue Island Feds to the tune of 7-2. With the appearance of Kernshaw on the mound for Gary, the White Eagles sprung a surprise. He twirled an excellent game, holding the Blue Islanders to 4 scattered hits and getting ten strikeouts to his crodit. The game was featured by a home run clout by C. Sebahay of th Feds and a three sacker by Williams cf the White Eagles. Every one of the Gary players got around the sacks but two.

The retiring merchant who possesses a "oh-I-guess-ril-wait-till-they-come-in" attitude towards the general public, gets badly fooled. Cf They just don't come in. Cf The merchant who puts his foot forward who advertises bargains gets the cream of the trade. His store is prosperous looking, his clerks are busy. Prosperity is his. With a newspaper, whose circulation covers the district every night at his command, the merchant who doesn't advertise simply doesn't want business. Cf That's all there is to that. Cf You can't get away from that fact. Go where you will in Lake County or in any part of it, Tlie Times goes every night. C The people in these days of high prices are looking for bargains.
