The Hammond TC of r -won their Tenlnr rame in the Suburban league when they defeated Harvey to the tune "f 19 to 1 yesterday afternoon at the Harrison Park diamond. A tremendous - crowd turned out for this game as it was a benefit affair for 1 he Carmelite Orphanage. Somewher in the neighborhood of 1.000 tickets were disposed of and a neat sum has been realized for this worthy cause. A eomplete report of total receipts will be published in tomorrow night's Time. Among those to be thanked for their untiring fTorts in helping to make the lay a financial success for the orphljie Manager He'mbach and Mike Tryor, the latter having furnished the music for the day, his orchestra donating their vrviceei fjr th4 occasion. Manager Heimbach. also wishes to extend the staff of ticket sellers and especially to The Times, -who through tho columns of their parer helped the JTnights of 0lumbua make this affair a successful event. Although the Hammond team played a good gam of ball It Is to b regretted that the Harvey club did not make as good a showing a.s was expected. Prior to th opening of the league Har- ! vey was fcoaMlng of having a strong tam but if yesterday's game is any Indication of the best they can do they had better get together and reorganize thwlr club before they face such strong "PPOsItlon as Pullman, South Chicago, Hid "Whiting, the three te.ms who at the present time look like Hammond's most feared rivals for tho pennant. On next Sunday Hammond will travel to Pullman -where It la a safe bet that jthey will not hare srach a cinch as they had against Harvey, m Pullman Is , rated as one of the best teams In the ; league. Hammond's next home game Is on Sunday, May 22nd and will also be a worker as the scrappy South Chlongo iagrregation will be the attraction on , this date.

Diagram shows how Red Sox infield plays for Babe Ruth. Black fiffore indicate positions of players when Ruth comes to bat. White hgures indicate positions to which they move, the pitcher covering first on the play when the ball is finally hit. A few days ago Manager Speaker of the Indians pulled a clever bit of strategy when he produced an "open defense" shift to check an attempt at a squeeze play by the opposition. Now Stuffy Mclnms,. Manager Duffy's aide on the Red Sox, has devised an infield shift to cop with Babe Ruth's terrific smashes. Babe seldom slaps the ball into the Infield and he's slow on getting down to first. So the infield plays deep for his hard drives, depending upon fast throws to the pitcher (covering first) to nail Ruth on hard drives which would go safely through the infield if the men played in their usual positions.

who has taken the matter up with President John D. Martin at Memphis and National Commissioner Landis at Chicago. The balls wre found after the Mobile-Little Rock game Friday, but the discovery of nails driven into them was not made until yesterday. The nail in each instance is a long, thin wire, driven into the stitches. The ball had to be examined closely to find it. It is claimed that the added weight of the nail on one side enabled a pitcher to make the ball do all sorts of funny things. The Mobile playrrs claim that thy did not put the balls into play and how they got into the game is yet to be determined.
