It seexr.s as thougn HmtbiotI raade their errors right at the tnost oritloal times and the. fact tht Gary did not cam a single, run is vldencw that Gary did not beat Da'.ton but that the Kamiaond t&ara beat themselves.

Porter allowed just six hits during the entire contest ana tney were scattered over the nine stanzas, with he excepion oi one inning Porter was given excellent, support, both in tho field and at bat. The Maroon's piled up eighteen hits fcr a total of twenty-six bases . Samrnie Crcasbaum the Scatena pitch ing ace, was sent in to rerrorm against the Maroons and was nicked for five hits in the first inning including two doubles, one by Swutman and the other by Beaver, which netted the Maroon's three rune. L'rbanski -who was in the swatting mood started the fireworks with a clean single, then came Sweetman who poled the ball into the crowd good for two sacks, a moment later Beaver poled one a mile high which went exactly the same spot where Sweetman hit his two bagger. The Seats got a run in thoir half of the first on a double by Kenn-'fiy. a sacrifice and an error, then both pitchers set tied down -until the Maroon fourth when Payne opened the inning with a one base ply. McMurray was walked, then Krassley who was put in to catch for E&auer socked a two bagger scoring Payne and McMurray, Urbanely then doubled to left scoring Krassley with the sixth run of the game. The Scats made two runs In their half of the sixth on two hits, a sacrifice and two errors. This kind of stuff made the Maroon clan peevish and in their half of the etgiith they scored four runs on two walks and four hits, one a three bagger by Urbanski. Although it was Krassley who sent in the runs on his hit with the bases loaded. Then Porter held the Scats safe in their half of the eighth, and in the ninth he allowed the Scats a run, inasmuch as the game was 6ewed up for the Maroons. Both teams were well represented by t'i ir respective rooters and a huge crowd turned out for the game, as they expected to see any easy victory for the Scatena nine, wi-.o are rated as the best team In Hammond and who only hav? been defeated twice this year. An official umpire officiated and th game was the cleanest rlayed "wis year. The outstanding stars for the Maroons were Krossley, Urbanski and Beaver, this trio mada eight of the eighteen hits for the Maroons. KrossJty relieved Beaver at the catching position and knocked two singles and a louble In three trips to the plate. Urbanski V4 a double, tripi nd a sin. TERRIBLE TESSIE

Junt 20 Georges Carpentier's Ideas of training are practically th samo as those of American fighters with the one noticeable exception that He prefers to' work ia private. There is one thing more, be does a greater amount of gymnastic work. "When Descamrs first began to teach me." said Georges In conversation with me the other day, "he started with much acrobatics. Before I was taught to box I learned to. what you caU tumble. When I was but a boy I could walk anywhere on my hands. Acrobatics as much a anything else aided m my physical development and I believe they are Just as essential to me today. " CUE EXPERT TO JPLAY HERE Spears Jr..
