HAMfV'IOND STANDS ATOP

SUB. LEAGUE

Beats Chicago Heights 9-1 While Harvey Trims South Chicago In Close Game

After lnr and "bri uphill fight

Hammond ha finally accomplished the eeminrly Impossible and as a result ,r v.Irr4iv,i na.ll tames they are

now restlnr la first place in the K. of C. Suburban League.

TVhlle Hammond was taktng a fall out of Chicago Height to the tune of

to 1. Harvey very kindly obliged by

iritrnnlnc South Chieajto In a close

rime, the final score being 9 to 8. This puts Hammond on top with 9 games won and two lost for an average of

.818 against South Chicago percentage of .760 on 9 won and lost 3. Another surprise yesterday afternoon

was Blue Island's defeat of "Whiting

by tha score of 6 td 2. This means that Hammond will have no cinch game as was expected when they face ETue Island at Harrison Park next Sunday, but on the contrary it looks like'th local team will have to get out and fight for all they are worth to beat this club and thereby increase their lead to one full game over South Chicago, who will have no league gam scheduled next Sunday being their open data. Getting back to yesterday's game with Blue Island. Hammond certainly lambasted the old pill, getting a total of 13 hits including six doubles and one three bagger. Tommy Harle was the leading man with the stick, cracking out 3 ojoubles. a triple and a single out of B times at bat. Harle's fourth hit should have been good for three sacks, but the ump ruled that Tom failed to touch second and when the ball was returned to that base he was called out. which gave him credit for only a single on a dean 3 base knock. Sug Handy was also there with the willow as he smashed out two doubles out of five chances and got robbed of another hit on a swell one-handed stop on a ground ball over second base. The Chicago Heights shortstop made two of these plays, taking the other blow away from O'Rourke, who had been hitting in hard luck, in the last fcur or five games. O'Rourke finally broke his Jinx however, as he got a single, double and a base on balls out of four trips to the plate. Eddie Flynn with two clean singles, was the only other man to get more than on hit and the other three blows were divided between Buddy McLaughlin, Chandler and Hillbrich. Buddy's wallop being good for two sacks. Hammond was first to score, getting three runs in the third on singles by Hillbrich and Flynn, a stolen base by the former, a double by O'Rourke and an error on the shortstop. Chicago Heights cam back with one In their half on a base on balls, followed by l stolen bi.se and a clean single to right field. Hammond goe this run back In the fourth on a fouble by Harle and Chandler's line single to left. Three more were added after two out in the fifth. Flynn singled and Handy. Harle and McLaughlin doubled In order sending over three markers. O'Rourke led with a walk in the sixth and Jimmy Dillon, who was put on to run for him, stole second and scored on the shortstop's error on Flynn's grounder. The final run was added in the ninth by Sug Handy, who doubled after two out, went to third on a short passed ball and then scored when the catcher threw wild to catch him napping at the far corner. Chicago Heights' best chance to put over some runs, came in the sixth inning when they filled the bases on a base on balls and a couple of hits, with none down. Lawrence Hillbrich howevTr, proved himself equal to this occasion by striking out the next two men and Tommy Harle tricked the runner on third for the final out, when he purposely dropped the third strike on the second man that whiffed and then threw to first, thereby coaxlni? the runner off third and making him tho victim of an easy double play at the plcale. The Heights only other chance was in the eighth when the got two men on after one out, but TTi'brlch was there again in the emergency and struck the next two men out with apparent ease. Ililbrich certainly pitched another whale of a ball game, letting Chicago Heights down with 6 measly singles and striking out 16 batters for a newrecord of strikeouts by the local K. of C. pitchers. Jim Dalton formerly held the mark with 1.".. against Whiting earner in the season. Tlio fielding feature of the iav was a- back handed catch of a low line drlvu'by Danny Boyle, who was pUiyIng shortstop at the flnliOi of the game. The ball was ticketed for a clean single to left field but Danny got over In front of it in some way and though seemingly a way out of position to make the catch he turned his gloved hand around while on the dead run nd for.'unately the tall hit squarely in his m't and t.t:ck there while Danny turned a somersault after making the catch. It was i ne of those playo you see only on ;j i!i a great while and the feat was loudly applauded by both the visiting and l"u5 home fj..ia.

Last spring the consensus oi pinion was that the devastated but cleansed White Sox would be lucky to escape last place. But they have kept far from that berth so far. With younjf6ters in the infield and t-tfitd and only two eood catchers they

have given the league leaders battle. The bulk of credit for their winning goes to Kid Gleason for his keen management, and Eddie Collins, who has steadied the team on the fiell and helped Gleason put fighting spirit into the new outfit.
