If some rival manager happened to be around Morris Park last night he might have seen the Outlaws practice there. They're not so bad. The Outlaws' manager says he would specially like to get a game with the Hammond Juniors, but that the latter team is always scheduled whenever the Outlaws want to play. The Outlaws average 15 years. For games call Hammond 97S"W. X. E. COMETS, 111 GRIFFITH. O The Hammond N. E. Comets traveled to Griffith, In-1., where they opened their baseball season by defeating tho Griffith A. C. to the tune of 11 to 0. Air-'.ijtht fielding in support of the superb pitching of Parish and DeRolf feature! ihe game. Griffith was allowed only four clean hits, while tha Comets hit three Griffith pitchers for 19 safeties. Drahard starred at the bat. getting: four hits. The Comets' players and fans wish to thank the Griffith team an 1 their followers for their good sportsmanship. The Comets would like to book some games. Write to the Comets Club, 355 Pine St., Hammond, HAMMOND JCMORS RALLY In a game of many home runs and a field of mud, the Hammond Juniors romped away with their sixth consecutive victory in Grant Park, Chicago, when they met and defeated the much-touted team from Sixteenth and Michigan that call themselves the Prairie A. C. The score was 16 to 6. The difficulties of throwing the ball was the only bad feature of the twirling of Lizzof. He gave four bases on balls- and hit three batters, but aside from that he pitched in mid-season form, yielding only four hits, one of which was a home-run by Flynn, the first baseman of the Prairie A. C. team. The home-russ made by the Juniors were made by Daggy (who al!o contributed two doubles), Carrol and Liziof. Hill played a pillar game at first and collected four hits out of the eighteen that were made by the Juniors. This being the first game of the season away Ii-om home, it was not so bad although tho Juniors were charged up with two errors. From the sixth Inning on, the rain came down in great quantities and It was hard to throw the ball accurately. The Juniors beat this team In Hammond two weeks ago. They found Lachey, the Prairie A. C. pitcher, for eighteen hits, of which three were homers, three doubles and the rest singles. The score by Innings: Juniors 431 013 02216 IS 2 Prairie A.

Sporting Editor, Dear Sir: In glancing over the sporting sheet of Saturday night's Times I noticed an article about a baseball game between the North Side A. C. and the Foresters. I was visiting my brother-in-law In Hammond on Sunday, May 7, and in order to pass away the afternoon we decided to walk over to Douglas Park and see a ball game. My own residence is in Chicago and I have no interest in either team, but In a sense of fair play and Justice to the Foresters, I feel compelled to state tho'true facts or this somewhat hectic game. The North Siders state that due to a misunderstanding walUed oflr the fle the Foresters Id. That is a deliberate misstatement. The playcame in the eighth inning. One of the North Side players endeavored to come home on a hit to the infield. The umpire ruled him out. Immediately the whole North Side faction walked out on the playing field to argue wl'.h the umpire. The North Side A. C. had better learn that the first rule of baseball is to abide by the umpire's fecislons. I never saw such unfair or unsportsmanlike tactics In a ball game in all my life. It was too disgusting lor words. Meanwhile the Foresters remained quietly in their places and were ready to play the minute the umpire gave the word. But the North Siders. falling to move the umpire in his.declsion. picked up their gloves and bats and walked off the field, thereby forfeiting the game to the Foresters by a score of 9-0. I hope you will print this so the baseball public in Hammond will know the facts and not Judge the Foresters by that deliberate lie of the North Side A. C. Tours respectfully, ' JAMES A. BREEN. 7912 Brandon ave., Chicago, 111. IECOXD STRAIGHT FOR WHITE EAGLE SATIOXAIS The I. H. Nationals defeated the Central A. C. from East Chicago Sunday, 7 to 6. This game being booked on Saturday. It did not give the teams much time to advertise, so a very small crowj was on hand to witness the first set-back the Centrals have received this year. The work of Patsy LInd. stellar center-fielder of the Nationals, with the stick was mainly responsible for the East Chicago lads' defeat. Ho collected three hits and a walk out of five trips to the plate. Gant also was In a hitting mood, gathering three hits, one of which was a triple to deep left. The Nationals present a much stronger aggregation this year and have booked such well-known teams as Valpo. Chesterton and the fast North Side A. C. from Hammond. Next Sun-lay the Nationals cross bats with tho North Side A. C. of Hammond and according to advance dope the Hammond lads have a strong outfit this year, so Manager Donahue Is leaving nothing undone to defeat the boys from Hammond. He ha ordered all hands out every nieht next week for practice. This game will be played at Douglas Park and a monster, crowd is expected to be on hand as the strength of these two aggregations is well known. The lineup will be announced later. WHITIXG HIGH WALLOPS LOWELL tSPEClAL TO THE TIHESJ WHITING, Ind.. May 16 The Lowell baseball team, twice conquerers of Emerson and Froebel high schools of Gary, and East Chicago and Hobart. were defeated decisively here yesterday by the local high school team, the score being 5 to 1. Tne locals found the offerings of Love, the Lowell pitcher, easy; while Koch, the local slab artist, set the down-state beys down,, with two hits, striking out eight Lowell batsmen.

RICKENBACHER TO HANDLE FLAGS

ISPECIAL TO THE TIMES INDIANAPOLIS. May 16. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. American Ace of Aces in the Great War and former star auto racer, will handle the (lags for the tenth annual 500-mlle International Sweepstake race, on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. His training as an aviator in the Great War will be valuable to him in his position as starter of the greatest race of . the year. Due to the large number of cars on the 2a mile brick course and the speed at which they are driven past the starting Una, President Carl G. .Fisher long ago refused to permit the strater to risk hid life on the track, when he was flagging the drivers during the race, or to signal to the contestant that the nace was terminated. To g-uard the life of the starter the speedway has erected a suspension bridge across the starting and finishing line. As It Is a light bridge the passage- of the cars underneath and even a stiff -breeze causes it to sway violently. Thus the bridge is no place for a man not accustomed to maintaining his equilibrium off the ground. Due to his skill as an aviator the 'bridge holds no terrors for Capt. "Rick," and he is perfectly at home on the narrow swaying structure. With seven seasons of racing experience and having betn an official in many races, siince he retired as a driver In 1916, the former speed star is well equipped to "handle the throttle' and control the running of the race, for the flags he uses will tell the contestants of Impending danger, signal the need for consultation with the race officials or apraise the driver that his car has completed the necessary 200 laps of the 2V4 mile oval. LEGION NINE BEATS C.O.F. With Sammie Creasbaum pitching in great form, the American Legion nine trounced the C. O. F. aggregation by a score of 12 to 4 at the Hammond A. A. field. The East Side twirler pitched wonderful ball throughout the entire game and was supported by his teammates both at bat and In tho field. Hans Ambos, the midget right hander, was slated to throw against the Legion. He got by the first two innings without any damage, but the Legion players found the midget's offerings in the third and scored five runs on five hits, Including a double by Urbanski and a triple by Otto Green. The Forester aggregation started things In the opening inning after two men were down. Callahan had two strikes called on him, but the next ball pitched he hit for three bases. This was followed with singles by Moll, Fleischer and Myer, which netted the Foresters three runs. Sammie then braced up and struck out Olson for the final out. After the first inning, Creasbaum held the Foresters safe, allowing only three scattered hits in the remainder of the game. After scoring five runs in the third, the Legion put another marker over In the fourth on Creasbaum's single, a stolen base and a line single by Shelton. In the Legion's seventh, the boys started to whack the old horsehide and before the Inning ws over the Vets had cross the plate four times on a Jilt batsman and five consecutive hits, one a triple by Miller with the bases loaded. Moll was then rushed to the scene and managed to retire the side without further trouble. The Foresters scored a run In their half of the seventh, when Parker singled, stole second and scored a moment later on Toots Tague's single to left field. It looked like the Legion "would score In the eighth when with two men on bases and one down Moll tightened up and retired the side. With the new lineup, the American Legion have one of the best teams in the county, and teams will have to travel some to defeat the locals. Creasbaum pitched a wonderful game, allowing seven hits and striking out seven. Hans Ambos was touched for fourteen hits, including two doubles and a triple. The entire Legion team played great ball, having no errors throughout the ,entlre contest. Mgr. Tague Is proud of the victory and also of the way the boys performed. He has made arrangements to play the fast Dalton team at Harrison Park next Sunday. Otto Green led the Legion attack with two singles and a triple In four times at bat. Shelton also performed in grtat styl at the keystone sack. Shinny Hudson caught a stellar game and he pepped the team up from the receiving end. Myers of the C. O. F. team got two hits in four times at bat. The score by Innings: C, O. F. 300 100 000 4 7 4 H. A. U 015 101 40x 12 0 Two-base bits: Meyers, Urbanski, Miller. Hudson, Creasbaum.

NORTHERN IND. GAS WINS OPENING BALL GAME Last Katurdav afternoon th TSTnr-

thern Indiana Gas & Electric base-! ball club opened the season by defeating the Bell Telephone ball club by the score of 13 to 3. The Tele phone boys never had a chance with Callahan pitching air-tight ball and his team- mates giving him the best support that could be expected from any club. Thay not only fielded with well, but was there with the willow, when hits meant runs. Cerdft must be given to Louie Miller, who was acting manager while our old friend Pete Hart is recovering from a sick spell. Louie did part of the receiving and handled that position pretty good. .
