Allan d'Rourke was easily the outshining stur of the day aj it was jus stickwork, mostly, that was responsible for a Hammond victory. All O'Rourke did was to knock out three double sand a single out of 5 times at bat. On his first attempt he doubled to left and the second time up he fouled to the catcher. On his third trip ti the plate he singled cleanly to right and his fuorth time up he doubled over the left fielder'3 head. His ntth and last time at bat he made a good day of it by cracking out his third two fcase wallop far over the right fielder's d'me. In additllon to making 4 hit-., O Kourke stole a couple of bases and 6a ired 3 runs to say nothing of a nifty i p and throw from deep short, robfc.ng the Blue Island catcher of a sure b f hit in the first half of the ninth. Hammond scored two runs in the !. -t inning. O'Rourke led off with a df uble and Murphy dropped a Texas ! ague single in center field.
