SB 4 ROUND GAME

Strong Kouts Team Takes Hammond K. C. By 4-3 Score

The Hammond K. of C.e loet a tough-luck 14-innins ball gam at Kouts, Ind.. yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 to I. This one of the most exciting games ever played on the Kouts diamond, and though Hammond was beaten everyone of the local fans who accompanied the K. of C. team on the trip came away satisfied that they had witnessed a regular battle, replete with thrills from start to finish. The only incident to mar the game as far as the Hammond crowd was concerned was the failure of the umpire, whose name was Schults. to call out a Kouts runner who had rounded third and started for the plate in the last inning, only to be stopped and almost dragged back on the bag by the Kouts coach at third base. Of course, this man should have been called out without any question on account of the deliberate Interference on the part of the coacher, but it was simply another case of where an umpire without much nerve was afraid to call a play like this against the home team at such a critical stage in the game. Such umpiring? is bad for the game and in the long run it hurts the home team as much as It does injustice to the visiting club for the reason that it makes It hard to schedule games with visiting teams when a home club gets the reputation of engaging an umpire who is not entirely fair to the opposing side. Understand, this is not an alibi for the defeat of the Hammond club, but merely a suggestion on the part of the writer in an effort to discourage the idea on the part of managers of engaging othef than high class umpires with plenty of "back bone" and can handle their ball games In a thoroughly efficient manner. It Is not our intention to take eese bit of credit away from Kouts. as they certainly deserved to win with 11 hits against 7 by the Hammond club, but how much sweeter would have been the victory for the home team had the umpire called ut the runner on th'.rd for illegal Interference as he should have done, and then had the winning run score a moment later when another runner on second oould have romped In on a clean single to center. Had the game ended this way the Hammond fans and players would not have left the field with the feeling that the umpire was In anyway responsible for the loss of the gall game, and also the Kouts crowd could feel much more elated over their victory; but as It Is the game wounij up by leaving a bad Impression with the visitors, who would much rather have seen the home team win square. Getting back to the early part of the game, Hammond scored the first run without the aid of a hit In the second Inning. Handy walked, with one down, and then went all the way home on Chandler'a dinky roller In front of the plate. The catcher threw Chandler oat at first, but the first baseman heaved wide to third In an effort to head Handy oft at that base, and Susr romped in with the first run of the game. Kouts tied it up In their half on a single and a stolen base. follovrd tr a 3ts.t: fiovJ?!e alter two out. Hammond went ahead again In the third on a single by Slynn. followed by Hilbrlch's bunt, which the third sacker pegged wild to first, putting runners on third and second with one down. Danny Boyle worked the squeeze and laid a nice bunt down the first base line and two runs came In when the first sacker mads bis second error and threw badly past the catcher. Ths wa nil for Hammond, but

Kouts put one over In the fifth on two hits aided by a balk on the pitcher. The tlelng run came in the eighth on an error by Prendergast followed by a three-base clout between Boyle and Handy. Hammond had an opportunity to sew it up In the ninth when they started off with a single by Chandler and a scratch hit by Buddy on an attempted sacrifice, but dumb base running lost them their chance in this round. In the twelfth. Chandler opened up again with a double but the next two me were easy outs. Hllbrlch was safe on the third baseman's error and stole second, putting men on third and second with two down, but after trying hard, Prendergast's best etfort was a short fly to center field, which was gobbled up by the shortstop. In the fourteenth. Handy led off with a base hit, but his mates could not put him across. Kouts sewed It up in their half of the fourteenth when the first man singled and the next one doubled, putting runners on third and sooond with none down. It was here that the big argument arose about the coach touching the runner, and incidentally Danny Boyle must be given a sendoff for the quick way in which he recovered the ball and relayed it to the Infield with a nice long throw from deep left. Hilbrich, apparently disheartened at the umpire's failure to call the man out at third base, lopped the next ball over and the Kouts pitcher, who bc.1 been easy picking at bat all through the game, socked the apple Into center field for a clean single and the ball game was over.

VETS SHUT OUT CROWN POINT YESTERDAY

The Veterans of Foreign Wars shut out the Crown Point Legion team at Morris Park Sunday afternoon before a crowd of fifteen hundred loyal Tans. Chuck Zolla pitched a beautiful game and was given excellent support by the team. He showed his ability at pitching when Crown Point had a man on second ana third with none down in the sixth inning. The first man was thrown out on a short infield hit and the two following ones were struck out, Not only did he do his share on the mound, but he also added to his list of hits, a home run. King should not be forgotten on the receiving end. He has shown wonderful form In hanging on to Chuck's large curves and Is deserving of praise. Metcalf also deserves mentioning for his two doubles and one single in four times to bat. On his single in the sixth he stole second and third and was about to steal home when Coll struck for a clean single with two out. Hilton, Stelow, Coll and Zolla also secured a double apiece. Pitts of Crown Point also pitched a very good game, but it seemed that the support was too slow to stop the Vets. Pitts played his own came, securing twelve strike outs and maklnsr a three-base hit. He

showed good form and If his support had been up to standard the Vets would have secured only threo runs. It is believed that the Crown Point team will have all the rough edges shav-j-d off when the Vets meet the min a return game at Crown Point on June 11th. Next Sunday, the Vets will face the fast Gary Club team at Qleason Park In Gary. The Gary Club has quite a few victories to their credit and the Vets will have to keep a stiff front to put one over on them. The Gary Club on Monday afternoon, May 1st, defeated the Moure club, a member of the Three-I league by score of 2-0, allowing the Mollne club not even a hit. It is expected tht a large crowd will accompany the Vets to this game. Those desiring to go can make Inquiries at the E-Z Cigar Store on State st. as regards special transportation.

We nearly had the 5c cigar back again. But the chances are . slim, now that congress is seriously considering a permanent continuance of the high duty on Imported tobacco which was clapped on during the war. Former Vice President Marshall made a big hit when he said, "What this country really needs is a good 5c cigar." For the epigram contained the homely truth that the 5c cigar indicated a return to normalcy all the way along the line and that rents, food, clothing, and prices for amusement might soon return to pre-war conditions. Before the war, the duty oji Sumatra tobacco was $1.85 a pound. The emergency war tariff Increased this duty to $2.35 a pound, and the purpose of senators who are supposed to be acting on behalf of the growers of domestic tobacco in some states, is to have this emergency tariff made permanent. Cigar manufacturers say, "It is impossible to make cigars exclusively of domestic tobacco that Americans will smolce. The tobacco grown in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and other states in which the Industry is carried on, positively requires Sumatra wrapper in order to secure a .blend. Efforts to use American wrappers on cigars with domestic fillers have always failed." Recently some cigar manufacturers, anticipating a return to prewar tariff on tobaccos, have made reductions in the nriees nf rinm.H

cigars, but they assert it will be

nwHwry lor tnem to raise their prices again if the proposition to

make the emergency tariff permanent is adopted.
