COLONIALS TOO TOUGH FOR TS Before a crowd of about 1,000 fans the Colonials trimmed tha Gary Giants to the tune of 12 to 4. The Colonials proved too strong for the colored club and from now on will have to book stronger clubs, although this club proved to be a treat to the Hammond fans with their comedy. For tha first three fnnfnga It looked as if it was going to be a real game, but as soon as the Colonial wrecking crew started, things went bad for the , colored team. Babln walked. Kennedy singled, Hess sacrificed and Bakalar walked, filling the bases; Babe Simon knocks a double to center, scoring Babtn and Kennedy, making " two runa. From then on the Colonials hit at will. The batting honors for tha day go to Kennedy with four hits, scoring four runs. Babln got three hits out of five times to the rubber. Babe and Frank Simon got two apiece, and Wallle Hess three hits. These men are sure tough customers for any pitcher. The fielding of the team In general was up o the standard. Smith, playing left field in place of Meyers, pulled down a drive that looked like a homer In neat fashion. Frank Simon, pitching, looked good throughout the entir game, being In the hole several times but getting out In great style. The Colonials will travel to Gary next Sunday to clash with the fast Umpleby team at Gleason Tark. This suro will be a treat to the loyal Colonial fans.
