COLONIALS WE DEBUT AT PARK

Unbeaten Hammond Nine Schedules Contest With Gary Colored Team Out at Harrison Park tomorrow a team known as the Hammond Colonials are going to make their Initial bow to the resru'.ar Sunday customers at that place and unless we are terribly mistaken those same customers are going- to leave the park satisfied with having seen In action the best team which has represented these parts in years. Five times this season have these tried warriors gone forth to battle and five times have they been returned the victors. As a drawing card on foreign fields this team Is unsurpassed, being in great demand. They have been booked for the Decoration Day game on Tuesday at Gleason Park in Gary acrainst the Gary team whom they defeated early In the season. 3 to 2. Because this city has not the proper accommodations for a first class semi pro ball club, such as an inclosed field, showers, etc., the Colonials have chosen to travel for most of their games, and by playing on a sixty-forty percentage basis a financial gain has been the result. In the near future with the possibility of leasing an inclosed playing field, don't be surprised if you hear of regular weekly games with the best possible semi-rro opposition the attraction. Preparations have been made for a hotly contested game tomorrow. The team romped through a hard practice Thursday. The game will start promptly at 3 p. m. The visitors make no bones about the acquisition of three Chicago players, two of them composing the battery. Henderson, who has played with 1-eading colored teams In Chicago for years will do the pitching, and it is largely through his efforts the Gray Sox figure, to cop. As announced earlier in the week, Bakalar will Mrve up the horse-hide for the Colonials with Homer Hudson receiving. It is hoped a big delegation of fans v ill follow the team to Gary on Tuesday, Decoration Day. Large doing are on the program and Perry's band will no doubt warble for the occasion. This band and a huge Cary crowd followed their team tol i-'outh Bend last Sunday and saw thoir favorites lose a hard game by ;, close score. It will be Simon's turn in the box for the Colonials while Knight and Matthews will form the Gary battery. In attendance at the game last Sunday between the Gary Umpleby's and the Colonials were almost as many routers for Hammond as for Gary, and this encouragement with splendid playing landed a 9 to 0 win for the local boys. The Colonials are playing under the banner of the Colonial Sporting Goods Store and are backed by J. If. Millett. BilT Newman is caring for the managerial duties and "Sky" Meyeiu is acting as field captain. Sincere thanks are extended to the Hammond Post of the American Legion who with the Colonials held a permit to the park for Sunday, but! relinquished It in favor of the lat ter team. Wrist watches are not a modern idea. As long ago as the year 1571 iueen Elizabeth received a richly Jeweled wrist watch as a present from the Earl of Leicested.

RIVAL CITY T The Gary American Legion base ball team which plays the Hammond rLeglon nine at Harrison Park on Decoration Day at 1:30 is the only undefeated club in Gary this season. The visiting veterans have performed in five hot battles thus far and have won all of them by large scores. The reputation the Gary Legion is getting has set base ball globes afire and indications are that the Hammond team will be in fr a busy afternoon. Gary will invade Harrison Park with much confidence of taking the second content from the locals. Should the players of Manager Taprue play up to form the visitors will go back a sorrowed bunch.

put one over in the initial contest of the season when he brought out the famous "Ziggie" Miller to pitch for his club. The Hammond team hit Miller with regular preclssion. but due to the commanding lead which the visitors got the locals were out of luck from the start. Miller, who is a Gary cop, has had his big league training with the Chicago Cubs, and Moline, in the Three Eye League, and is considered the best twirler in Lake county today. Whether the Gary policeman -will step on the mound Decoration Day is a mystery. The Hammond players who have been practicing faithfully all week are confident they can beat Gary. If Creasbaum is in shape and he ought to be, the visiting Legloneers will do no long distance hit ting a3 they did several weeks ago. The Hammond players were aga! out for practice yesterday evening, and with a needed rest Sunday every man on the team ought to be ready when the umpire bellows "play ball." A delegation bf over 100 Legion members are coming with the Gary team, rivalry between Gary! and Hammond has always been keen and the Decoration Day contest is no exception. It will be a real betting affair with any one o pick Hheir choice. COMETS PLAY CALUMETS SUNDAY The Hammond N. E. Comets will open their home season at the old Reld Murdoch ball grounds, corner Hoffman and Calumet ave., tomorrow against the crack Calumet A. C. of East Chicago. Last Sunday the Comets traveled to Creston, where they defeated the home team to the tune of 16 to 1. Not since the days of the Little Rocks has there been a uniformed team in the northest end of town. The Comets plan on playing their home games on the Reid Murdoch grounds if the northeast side fans will give them their support. The game Sunday will be called at 3 o'clock.
