make un the Steger team. One of -he!

Steger officials met the Whiting boys on their arival at the piano city and tamed hims-lf and his city by showing extraordinary hospitality. The game was won by the timely hitting of O'Connor and white, two t ew i.m n. getting a try-out with the. K'.ks and they both showed that they are fast and furious both in fielding and with the stick, also the hitting

and running of P. Bodney. Dugganj And Opat. the latter getting a homer that with Melvin's three-bagger start-j ed things on the way for the Elks to win. In the tenth inning with tn a gone Opal works a walk, steals sec- J ond and O'Connor with a dandy dou-: ble wins the game. Pitcher Kurtyoj while striking out 14 men was wijdj

tn the fourth and sixth innings and Mgr. Lottinville was ail set to bring in Mclvln who has all the earmarks of being a wonderful pitclier and ali around ball rlayers into the game but Steve settled down and finished strong. Manager Lottinville will have Melvin out three nights this week in pitching workouts nd will give the fans another treat when he starts this lv-y .

One of the biggest crowds of the season turned out Sunday afternoon at Harrison Park to witness Jim Del ton's, final appearance before he sets ball for ITnni-r Sa.nuu.-kv. O.. where the

knot will be tied next Thursday when poor Jim joins the "Down and Out Club." When he comes back to pitch against Hirvey a week from Sunday. Jim will be a full fledged member of thi.- Tribe of Ananias and in the meantime his pals wish him the best of luck . Dalton made good his promise to deliver agiinst H!ue Island us ho pilchej a whale, of a g.'iine and shut the visitors out. 11 to 0, letting them down with three scattered b!oMt. wo or which v ere of the scratch variety. I-entz the Hlue Island pitcher made two of the three bingles his first hit being a regular base knock to start the second inning and his next blowwas a fluke hit in the seventh on a ball that took a bad hop arid struck Chandler In the chest. i;hu- Island's third blow came in the ninth on a Texas leaguer that O'Kourke dropped in center Held after a Ion run. giving the batfr credit for a two base hit. In addition to letting Hlue Island down with only three' scattered hit Dalton struck out eleven men and had

the visitors eating out of !;is hand i in every inning except the third when j he filled the sacks on three br.-es on

balls, but he quickly pulled

out of this hole by striking out on? J man. catching another flatfooted off I third base and forcing the third to I retire the side on an easy roller to i Chandler for a force-out at the third I corner. This was really the only inning in which Blue Island threatened'

to score. Aside from his achievement in the box Dalton also distinguished himself at bat. getting two clean hits. besides contributing a run and a stolen base this latter being an unusual f. at for the big left hinder who is considered exceptionally fleet of foot. It appeared as if Dalton was frying to make it an all around good day as sort of farewell to his t'ammakf and friends who presented him with a beautiful cut glass water sci as a wedding gift just prior to the game. The water set was presented by Mgr. Heimbach at the club bouse before the :em left for the ball diamond but some of Jim's sidekicks couldn't let the opportunity pass to give the old boy some kind of a send off at th p.-ttk ;" they framed up with Frnntt O'Fiourke to slip him a little "raz

or in

sun the

zin" along with a big poquet Mowers when he came to bat

seventh inning. Jim took the kidding along with Uitou rke's usuil line of bull good naturedly and showed his appreciation t' th joke by respond.g with a clean I. as hit fo 1 -ft field which ?t-4rtd his team on to a four ru n rt. !! y . All teld Hamin'-n'; made II rurs n 1 hits, scoring one run in each o' ' r. first five innings four in the seventh and two in the eighth. Murphy. T'arle McLaughlin. Chandler and Dalton were the leading swatters with two hits apiece and O'ltourke. Flynn and Handy got the other three blows. Murphy w." the leading base stvnter of the day. gettityr credit for three stolen sacks. Chandler played a feaTig up game at third base handling 5 assists

and two putouts, without an error. '

A notable feat about Sunday's gam was the fr.' t that not a single putou was registered by any oT Hammond's out Uielders . The way Dalton w as pitching Illue Island was unable to hit the ball out of the infield. H.irle getting 11 putouts back of the bat ana Murphy a like -number at first base. The other 5 were divided among all the insiders including one for the pitcher. On next Sunday the Hammond K. of O.'s will take a big crowd to Valparaiso where they play the regular Valpo club who a week ago defeated
