GRIFFITH MEETS THE COLONIALS

Two Strong Nines are to Meet at Morris Park Tomorrow

THE MAINSPRING OF TOE BROWNS GEORGE SISLER'

After three successive games on foreign fields, tho Colonials- will make a homo stand tomorrow at Morris Tark at 3 p. m. In the three games. Gary. Iowell and Crown I'oint were encountered In the order named. The leading Gary team. Just back from a contest at South Bend, where they batted at the offerings of l'ete Hennlns. were beaten by the Hammond team 7 to 4. As Is usual in Gary, the team Is a strong one, The aetislve victory for the Colonials was no small aeomplishment. At Lowell, the teams tattled ten innings, with Hammond the winner by a two run margin. Lowell had Kroupa of Indiana Harbor catching and McGinnis. late of St. Viator's College, playing at short. They presented a most formidable bail nine and would have made Bill Niesen's Tyotts go to beat them as the Colonials did. The Crown Point game was a disappointment t.i not only the followers but to tiie Colonial players as

well. The team which had a week I previously h'.aten our American Lt- .'

gion team was expected to put up a fight. The result is well known. The Legion team mvist have been In a ' semi-eonsciou3 state to have lost to Crown Point as they did. Last evening's edition of this paper told of Griffith's win over the Gary Gray Sox Sunday. Griffith players scored eight times and made ten hits against the Gary outfit. Those totals are ju-st two runs and six hits more than the Colonials were able to register when 'playing the same team at Harrison Park four weeks ago. So tomorrow afternoon's sopiabble gives promise of being a spirited one. Buck Bakalar will oppose either "Walters or Govert on the slab. Next Sunday the Colonials' crippled pitching stan will be strengthened by the addition of Southpaw Pete Callan, former hurler for the Logan squares, a Hammond boy and a pitcher of merit. Morris Park, the scene of tomorrow's contest, is a greatly Improved park. The infield has been smoothed off and the outfield filled in where outfielders formerly were impeded by the sand. The stage is set for an enjoyable game.

Three interesting riews of George Sisler as the fans see hinu

While the great pitching of Le Fohl'i young hurlers, the

brilliant playing of MeManua and Ellerbe in the infield and the clouting: of the outfielders are all playing a part in the successful campaign of the Browns this year, any close follower of the St. Louis team will tell you that the dashing, heady George Sisler

is the mainspring of that club. His work at first is always little short of marvelous. His i.atting is always timely. His base running is daring. His fightin spirit and compelling personality draw the entire team into a winning gait.

FORESTERS IN ACTION AT HARRISON PARK

share the burden by no less a personage than Romeo, of Columbia A. C. fame. Manager Gauthler has booked a strong game to be played next Sunday at Harrison Park at 3 p. m.

A good attendance is looked for, as it will be the Forester's only appearance on the local lot for some time. Kemember the place is Harrison Park, game to be called promptly

at 3 o'clock sharp.

MOLLA IS BEATEN AGAIN, THIS TIME BY MISS M'KANE

BECKENIIAM, England, June 1" Mrs. Molla Mallory, American women's champion, was defeated badly yesterday by Miss Kathleen McKane, English player. 6-1. 2-6. 6-3, In the semi-final round of the Kent tournament. She appeared to play half heartedly throughout, and it was evident she was not in training. As a bystander said, "If Mrs. Mallory will ever wake up and take her tennis seriously, she will astonish the world." But yesterday she was subject to one of her off spells which are her worst enem.y Despite the oppressive heat and sultriness, Mrs. Mallory wore her well known heavy brown sweater, perspiring freely. In the first' set she never had a chance, but took early command In the second, playing with much brainless, got her opponent thoroughly worried while she evened the match. Then lack of condition began to tell, and althouglv Miss McKane lost considerable blood before the match was through, cutting her hand, she evidently was much the fitter. Before the last set was half over Mrs. MJllory was breathing very hard and seemed physically distressed.
