HAMMOND TO PLAY AT WHITING

Suburban League on next Sunday when they play the Whiting club at the Standard Oil Co. diamond. Although East Chicapo trimmed Whiting last Sunday, the Oil Clty cro r is still tied for second place with Harvey, the latter aggregation having taken a fall out of South South Chicago. Whiting will tr hard to put over a win against Hammond as a victory will put them on top as they are now only half a game behind the league leaders. The Hammond club will enter Sunday's game minus the services of Sugar Handy, who is laid up In St. Margaret's hospital with a Dad

charley horse, sustained a couple of weeks ago. Handy has been playing regularly, despite his severe handicap, until last Sunday, when the sore muscles in hie right leg became aggravated to such an extent that he was forced to retire from the game. There is no question but what Kandy'a absence from the team will cripple the local club's lineup, but Manager Heimbach hopes to have the center field position filled with a capable substitute for Sunday's important battle. At Tuesday night's practice the players showed an unusual amount of ginger and with another good work-cut scheduled for this evening everybody hopes to be in the ink of condition for the mlxup with Whiting. If the Hammond club can take Whiting into camp they will be "sitting pretty" for their game with South Chicago, which will be played at Harrison Park on Sunday, June 25th.

LONIALS AFTER THEIR TENTH STRAIGHT GAME

Some of the hurrahs over the 19 to 0 win at Crown Point Sunday are subsiding as the Colonials come to a full realization of the seriousness of the blow struck at their pennant aspirations by the accident to pitcher Frank Simon. Last Saturday, Simon had a small bone in his ankle broken during a ball game at East Chicago and he will not be able to put weight on the foot for three weeks. The break will probably keep him out of the game for the remainder of the playing season, for even though it mends quickly it would be unwise to allow him to resume playing this jummer. Buck Bakalar Is a capable hurfer and it is upon his shoulders that most of the pitching burden 'will rest. Ho can hardly be expected to carry that burden unaided so some one will find himself with the Job of rustling up another reliable pitcher. Next Sunday the Colonials will

meet the Griffith A. C. at Morris

Park at S p. m. There are yet some people In town who don't know the exact location of Morris Park. Tou will find it east of Columbia avenue, at the extreme east end of Michigan, Truman and Wilcox avenues. The idea originally was to hold the game at the more centrally located Harrison Park, but on account of the fact that another game Is scheduled to be played In that park at 1 p. m. It was decided advisable to take the Colonial-Griffith game to the east side diamond. The Colonials confidently anticipate bagging game number ten. However, the Griffith management has given assurance that the team is not the same one which was beaten by the Vets two weeks ago. The club at Griffith has had three ball teams

playing this season and the team which will meet the Colonials on

Sunday at Morris Park is a team

composed of nine of the best men they have in their ranks, with the

addition of a Chicago pitcher prob able.

Downey, Manager Jimmy Dunn and

Mickey McBride came In from Auroral

last night and had no excuses ; to offer. Manager Dunn has been in the game too long to make excuses for any of , his fighters. Promoter Jim Mullen , asserted the show drew a $12,044 house, Each of the wlndup fighters . drew down approximately 13.500.

Hurler Mikula and Fielder Gai-nn were the real heroes of the gaoiv. Mikula pitched great ball, striking out nine men, walked two, and gave six hits, and also got four hits himself.

On his four trips to bat he struck out once, got two doubles and a single, each time scoring two men. which gave the Twin City a good lead. The boys are playing big league ba!l with such crack artists as the Lott . brothers, who made several hits. The line-jps: Twin City: Duffy 2b, McShane c. A. Lott 3b. J. Lott ss.
