Polarines Have New Slab King

That the Whiting Polarities arc coming over to Hammond tomorrow afternoon determined to take another fall rut cf the K. of t's is evidenced by the fact that they have secured the services of 1'hillips. star pitcher for the stron? St. lichael's club of South fhiragn, for this important game. Manager 0'Ko.urke does not fear the Whiting aggregation on bit as ho feels confident that the way lus team is now constructed it is almost nevt to impos-r-:!e for any club in this region lo slip ,n t-r a victory, nuch less pile up a heavy score on Jim IValton, his phenonnnal 1. ft hand hurler. Dallon is in fine fettle for tomorrow's game and if Philhps pitches the brand of ball of which he Is capable. Harrison park fans will lc given the opportunity of witnessing "i real pitcher's battle. As both clubs are bent on winning tomorrow's set-to. there is bound to be plenty of excitement from the time the umpire announces play ball, right up to the last man Is called out in the linal inning. The Polanne manager ha? announced his lineup, which is mirie up of a pretty classy bunch of ball tossers. The Whiting infield consists of four players, who ar- all stars in their respective positions. Kd Pubeck at one time a mem ber of the Detroit Tigers and more recently with the first team at the eireat Ivjkes. covers the initial sack and acts as field captain of the team. "Punchy" McClelland, a scrarpy little player of r.o mean ability takes care of second and Jones, last year star lntielder of the imnant winning General American team plays shortstop with "Brow ni ". not her important cog in the Oetvra! American Infield, alongside of him at third. Steve Sabol, Lou Walsko. former F,--i.irine manager, and "Nig" Pchultz form

the outfield, with "Skinny" Shaner filling j i- as utility. The best known of these J flayers, to Hammond fans, is "Nig" j iiultz who used to be one of the has' J prairie pitchers in or around Chicago, j

having worked on the mound for such teams as the Whales, South Chicago and the St. Michaels. The real class of the Po'.arines in to. rorrow's game will be displayed by their star battery with Phillips, the Sr. Michael's pitching rhfnnm. on the mound and "Noisy" Steve Senehak. who i a regular pepper box. behind the hit. The Polarine manager promises the fans that they wi!! see in action the best pair of battery mates, that

have faced the local club this season. !

Manager O'Rourke of the Case s ha:decided to use the following lineup to to withstand the heavy attack of tho

Whiting clubbers: Eddie Brennan will I

Twelve of the first sixteen homers that Mauler Babe Ruth stopped ir.to this season were walloped on the Polo grounds, just whore the Yankee owners hoped Babe would lace ?e-m out when they dup down in their pockets for $12e),C00 iron men to buy hint from the Red Sox. The frequency with which Babe slams the ball into the right field grandstand caused the around keeper to project the foul line mark from the bottom wall cf the stand to the second tier and the roof. An iron pipe railing runs back into the lower tier to help the umps further in calling Babe's drives when they drop into the crowd in the stand.
