Fans were cheering on both sides, and the game had to be delayed In order to get the crowd off the side lines. Sammie then stepped to the plate and after missing two strikes sailed the next ball to left field, thus scoring Green. Jabo and Tague and putting the ball game away for the Legion nThe. Zolla allowed ten hits which were well scattered and walked four men. The Legion team touched Hilton for fourteen hits, including to doubles, a triple and a home run. Hilton pitched a fine game, but the Legion team put over hits when most needed. The big right hander struck out eleven men and Issued live pa5sses. The Legion earned a run In the first inning, when Urbanskl, who starred both at the bat and field, connected with a fast one and sailed it Into right field for a homer. The Vets came back la the second, scoring two runs on a walk, a sacrifice and two hits. The Legion then passed the Vets in their third by scoring three runs on two walks and three solid hits.

THOUSANDS SEE AUTO RACES AT ROB! OVAL

Plenty of drivers and plenty of speed featured the 1922 revival of automobile racing at the Roby Speedway Sunday afternoon. There was something doing all the while, so the crowd went awaysatisfied. The turnout was between 3,000 and 4.000. It was smaller than had been hoped for but It was large constdering the fact that the race meet was arranged on short notice and there was little time In which to spread the word. The Speedway Association learned from yesterday's crowd that It Is not motorists alone who attend auto races. There were hundreds of cars In the parking lines, but there were hundreds of persons who came by street fir and other conveyance. The rrandstand was filled and it was evident that plans to double Us capacity must be carried out at once. When ccir.pleted tho sttand alone will accommodate' a crowd of 3.000. There were four main events with a little two-car elimination spurt thrown in for good measure. First came the ten-mllo Ford race. There were six entries in this. The cars came from Hammond. Chicago, Gary, Indiana Harbor and Hobart. The winners were: Nichols of Chicago, first: Newman of Hobart, second; Lorara of Gary, third. The time was 10. minutes 37 seconds. Next came the ten-mile heavy car race. In it were nino entries. Bozo decided to get in with his Hudson

after the others were at the tape, but the troutle which developed on the way to the Speedway stuck with him and his showing was not up to expectations. The . winners wereWatters of Hammond, first; Baddell of Hammond, second; Freeman of Hobart. third. The time was 11 minutes 13 second. A ten-mile match race between the two first placers of the preceding races v.-as the next thriller, Nichols and Walters were the entrants, but Watters developed trouble before the race was half over and Nichols bad a walkaway. At that he made better time than in the first race. The time was 10 minutes 30 seconds. The battle royal came last, but before It could be pulled an elimination bout - was staged between TVinnlston and Lorara to see which should enter as third representative of the Ford class. AVinniston won. The three high men of the two opening races took places one-sixth of a mile apart for tho battle royal. The rule Is that as a car Is passed by another it must drop out. Nichols failed to get away, but after that the field dwindled slowly. It finally became a fight between Winnlston and Baddell. They were on opposite sides of the track when the third man was eliminated and they held those positions for several miles. Then Winnlston began cutting down the space and finally nosed past his opponent on the homo stretch. They had gone practically IS laps in 15

minutes 45 seconds.

TAGGING ALL THETBASE3 By JACK VEIOOt LN.S. Sports Kdfcr?

The Reds got ten hits against three for the Giants but finished second again when Casey Stengel slapped a homer into the stands in the seventh. Score 2 to 1. It was Ryan agalnit Luque and the signor had all the better of Ir until Casey declined to emulate Mudvllle's hero. It was Leverette Day at Comlskey Park and the honored son of Gary, Ind.. celebrated the occasion by pitching the White Sox to victory over the Red Sox and driving In w winning runs in the thirteenth with a double. For the fifth time In as many starts thl sseason, the Cubs failed to stop the Dodgers, losing this one through an epidemic of five thumbed work on the defense. - The Indians pulled out a ninth inning victory over the Athletics, 9 to 8. when Evans smote a tripie oU. Rommel, and Sewell and Jamieson pattered across with the winning runs. The Shocker shocked waa displayed again in the second episode when the Yankees disposed of their archenemy. Urban Shocker, star pitcher of the Browns, for the second day in succession, S to 4. Ruth failed to get a hit and twice fanned the inoffensive t'.ir. Harry Heilman staked himself to his tenth home run of the season as the Tigers handed a 8 to 0 defeat to the Senators.

HEY SHOWED

DIXIE SOME

There is nothing that "Dixie" Gorman V. Leverette could not have if he should ask for It in his old surroundings In Gary today. Yesterday more than one thousand Gary and Lake county baseball fans swelled the huge crowd at the White Sox park in Chicago to see if '"Dixie" could trim Boston, and he did It with all the frills attached to a veteran. After It had taken "Dixie" thirteen Innings to show the home folk and the Chicagoans that he had tne stuff in his right arm and things were looking doubtful for the Sox. It was "Dixie's" bat with two on base. He wound up the game by bumping out a hit to the left field fence, driving in the winning run and set down the Red Sox 7-6. Lake county's contingent went fairly wild. Leaping to the field, they swarmed about the Gary boy and carried him on their shoulder. 'Pop'" Gleason, who has had confidence in "Dixie" since the training season, wore a big grin and gave his hand a hearty shake. It is seldom that Gleason shows any such enthusiasm towards his players and there is no question but that Gorman has won a home. Leverette played a crack of a game in every department of the thirteen Inninss. He not only showed the fans that he can pitch, but field and bat a ball as well. The fans gave" him a handsome gold watch and a traveling bag.

HUNGRY COLONIALS ON RUMPAGE

Hammond 'Team Runs Wilt At Crown Point In 19-0 Slugfest

By McKAY It never should have happened. The game should never have been scheduled. But what could a manager do when asked to book a contest with a team which had previously trampled upon Hammond's feelings and caused the loyal home boosters to lose "beau coup" dough? It was for a two-fold purpose the Colonials traveled to Crown Point yesterday, to lambast a threatening usurper of the baseball crown, and to head the straying shekels and the powerful long green toward the native dug-outs. The first Inning turned Into a rout and the rout developed into a massacre. The entire game was played in a regular desert dust blow, making necessary a most unusual ground rule which allowed the batter to step from his box when a huge dust cloud arose, automatically halting hostilities until the sun came out. The tension was quite noticeable at the outset. Ed Lip'.nski paced to and fro. waving money and imploring followers of the home team to reach down. Where he failed to get a response he heartlessly chided the boys for working where they were only paid off once a month. John Millett had driven down and sat over on the bench, offering words of encouragement to his tavorites. We looked and looked for Billy Rose and his ornamental Packard, but Bill must have had a hunch and remained at home. If he was present his widely advertised recklessness with money was not. But let's turn to the game. Frankie Simon Is not In the line-up. He sustained a broken ankle Saturday and is lost to the team for an Indefinite period. His absence was felt keenly by the boys, and you could notice It. Hybert was lifted to the clean-up position and big Mac Thompson subbed for Frankie. Babe Simon was first to face the talented Pitts. He singled ito right. Bloom singled and stole; Meyers walked and Hybert sot a two bac-

ger. Blooiel Three runs. Babin i walked, Thompson flew out, Sheridan walked and Hudson doubled i right, counting Sttvs and Hybert Bakalar whlffsd. In Crown Folnt's half, with one gone. Belsh.iw beat out a bunt Casey grounded to Bloom and Babt threw out Haeppner. With one gone In the second Bloom tripled to right. In fact, the' are all hitting to right. They'll break the home run record play.ig on Turner field. Eddie was run down between third jnd home and the next two were easy outs. For Crown Point. Baker lifted to Bloom. Barr walked. Pitts a!s hit to Bloom, who threw to Babin and Steve whipped it right bac-U nipping Barr for a double play and j

retiring the side. Pitts took a terrific mauling in Hammond's third, wiilch resulted in five runs and feat.urc.1 two homers.

After Babin lifted to Beach. Thompson hit into the crowd in left field I for a home run. The crowd squak- j ed fearfully, declaring it a foul by distances varying from a yard to a i quarter of a mile, but it aotuall i

landed fair by about six feet- Sheridan followed with a double. Hudson singled and Bakalar was soaked in the wrist, for which time out was called. Bane Simon picked up the trend of the doings by socking one to right which Belshaw lost in the tall grass and Babe counted run number ten. With the ball game sewed up. everybody seemed to relax. At one time as Babe Simon approached the plate he was dubbed a "school bov'

by some fantte. She was loudly rebuked by some authority who proclaimed him nearer a professor in the business of playing ball. Even the home line-up bejjan to act humorous. The pitcher took up the catcher's burden, an inflelder Iouk the mound and the outfielders were grouped, apparently d.'scussing the remote possibility of winning the game.

The Colonials counted four runs I in the fifth, one In the next round j and three In the seventh. One run !

was scored In the eighth without
