CAN THEY CALL THIS A BALL GAME?

After pillns up a l?a1 of four runs In the first Inning, the Hammond K. ol C.'s went all lo pieces in South Chicago's naif of the second frame ami allowed the visitors to score n markers on a lot of miserably rotten baseball. All told Hammond mads"en big Juicy errors in this one inning and such really bad playing yni nntr saw in your life. Hut oven aft-r making all these mistakes this va ri'-'t tha worst part of the game a? Hammond still had fveral good chances to cop, but a lot of dumb baserunning kept them from ovrrominc South Chicago's lead time after ttm. ail through the came. It certainly was disheartening t-r Jim Dalton f be in there pitching hi. head off and then have the team put up the article of bail that they di 1 both in the field and on the bases.

Dalton let the leaders of the leaui down with 7 hits and struck out 9 m-n and aside from this he was credited with 6 assists and 1 put out. At bat T'aJton made I hits, a double and a triple and score 1 run. The rest of the Hammond team Mt plenty good enough as they clouted the ball fo'r a total of 13 hits but thy certainly did gum up ths works after they got on the bases. South Chicago's half of the second inning is a sad tale of woe. The first man up lifted a tall fly back of snort, which O'Rourke dropped for an error after a hard run and then the fireworks started- Dalton passed the next hitter and the third man up hit an easy roller to Murphy which he held in his bands while McLaughlin was standing on first calling for the ball. The batter got credit for a scratch hit and this filled the uases with none down. The next man singled to left scoring two runs and when Hoyle threw O'Rovirke's relay low to TIarle another runner crossed the plate and the batter went all the way to third. After the next man walked and stole second. Pair popped out to Mclaughlin for the first out of the Inning, when tho side should have been retired. Bender, the pitcher horned In here with another single good for 2 more runs and when he set out to steal 'cond on the first pitch Harle threw th ball Into center field and Handy retaliated with another wild hoave over third giving the -visitors the'r sixth tally for the inning. But this was not all. Sweeney, the next batter hit an easy roller to Dalton for what should have been the second out ljut Murphy dropped Dalton's peg and

the runner took an extra base on tho j muff. Py this time Dalton figured h' was about due to make a miscue along with the rest of the gang so he threw , "Tie into center field trying to catch Sweeney napping and the runner adanced to third. On the next play Ahearn hit to Chandler and Sweeney was run down between third and home. After making the putoui Chandler threw wild to second trying to catch Ahearn and he moved on to third from where he score when O'Nei! batting his second time In the innlns singled to left. The next man popped to Murphy and the side was finajty retired. It was one of the worst innlnarn of baseball ever played by the K. oi C.'s at the Harrison Park diamond, j Score by Innings: South Chicago ...070 100 001 3 7 5 Hammond 400 200 001 7 13 11 Summary Two-base hits Dalf.n, Render.
