LOSE 10 SCATS

On Sunday the North Side A. C. .-fre defeated by the strong Scatenas f Tr-t SMe. The score was 11

4. In order to win the Scats used Hakular, the famous East Chicago K. i'. u. twlrler, and one of his teammates. The feature of the gams was ;he pitching- of Bakular who allowed one hit and struck out nine men, while h:s control was none too good, for ne :.sued 8 bases on balls. The two No. Side twirlers allowed 10 .hits and struck out 6 men. The splendid support accorded Bakular Is worthy of mention, because the Sc-atena fielders made a number of miraculous catches which robbed the North Siders of base hits, which might have been damaging to Bakular's pitching. In spite of the cold weather a large crowd turned out to So h'inor to Bud Badowskl, for his splendid playing throughout the season . TVhcn he went to bat the first, time, his friends gave him a large bouquet of flowers, snd a set of gold cuff buttons. Instead of striking out. as was expected, he worked the pitcher for a walk. The North Siders scored all of then runs in the fifth inning on 2 walks. 3 errors and thir only hit by Cole the North Side pitcher. The. Scatfnas won the game In the sixth inning when th-v put two more runs across.
