Manager Tague has announced the signing: of Sammie Creasbaum to twirl for the Legion nine. The fans around Hammond will remember Sammie as he is the same boy who starred for the Scatena team last year. He states that he is in better shape this season than he ever was, and with the old slender boy in form he will be hard to beat. The Legion team has also secured the services of two of the best outfielders in Hammond, and with a shift in the infield the team will be one of the strongest in the city. The Foresters will probably start Hans Ambos on the slab. This boy has pitched some wonderful ball in his last few starts, and it looks as if the game will be a pitching duel between Creasbaum and Ambos.
