Red North was the individual star In yesterday's eon'est, the midget shortstop contribute! four of the seven hits made by she local team, and also excepted oll-.t chances without an error. Tommy Tajrue deserves plenty of credit, in the way he handled the team fro: the backstop position. The loical catcher played great ball, awl it. v as his work which had a great deal to do with the enemy heir.trounced.

Clark was out on an intleld fly. and both runners advanced when Foster missed the ball. Beck then hit to North who retired him by a fast throw to first, thus ending the rally.

The Hammond K. of C.s lost a hard uphill battle against Whitintr yesterday afternoon vv hen they came from behind and tied up the score in tho ninth inning- with the count 5 to 0 against them, only to lost out 6 to 5 in the tenth. Whiting scored two runs in the .third on singles by McCarty and Lnych and a double ty Sabol. Three more were added in the sixth on two clean hits and a couple of scratches, followed by a pair of errors and a doable steal. With a fire run lead. Whitinp: looked like an easy winner up to the ninth, when the Hammond club finally came to life and started sockins the tall to ail parts of the tieid. McCarty had been pitching good consistent ball up to tho ninth round, and with the aid of some snappy fielding plays, together with all the breaks in his favor, he seened ctrtai'n of scoring a shut-out. Hammond, however, was not so easily to be subdued and when MoShane, first up inhe ninth, led off with a clean hit. this started a rally that did not die down until five runs had crossed the plate and knotted the count. After McShane singled. Danny Boyle Hied out to short, but Eddie Murphy was hit by a pitched ball. Tommy Harle, next up, got a hold of a healthy one, which he drove on a line far over Sabol's head in left. This blow was good for two bases and scored both McShane and Murphy. Chandler followed with a hot( one to the third baseman, but he turned and tacged Harle for the second out. Hilbrich came up and scratched a hit through short and Buddy McLaughlin dropped a safety in left, scoring Chandler from second. Eddie Flynn then worked the pitcher for a pass, and the sacks were loaded with two down and Jim Dalton at bat. Jim set out to win his own game with a hard roller down the third base line and Dineen in his hurry to get the ball fumbled just long enough to lose a forceout at third and then he pegged bad to first, allowing Hilbrich to score on the error. Sug Handy, t-oaching at third, took advantage of this situation and hustled Buddy in from second on tho same play and when the catcher dropped the throw- from first Buddyscored the tieing run and the Hammond crowd went nutty. While tho catcher was still scrambling around for the ball. Flynn sneaked to third but Dalton was thrown out when he tried for second. This retired the side and ended a wild round. Whiting was easy in th?ir half of the ninth and the game went into extra innings. Hammond pot two men on after txvo out in tho tenth, but were unable to score. The first man up for Whiting in the last half of the tenth flied out to center, but Rader, next up, singled cleanly to right. I.yneh followed with a safety to left

center, advancing Bader to third, from where he scored the winning run on Du heck's long sacrifice fly to Panny Boyle in left, who made a hard try to get the; man at the plate with a nice pesr'that arrived just a second too late. I.nych was Whiting s leading man with the stick, getting three singles out of five times at bat. Sabol. Dineen and Moore eaoji got two blows, one of Pa hoi's being good for a double. In the field, Sabol was easily the star of the1 day with five put outs which included one seemingly impossible shoestring catch of a hard line drive, robbing Buddy McLaughlin of a hit that would have been good for at least two bases. This play harpened in the fifth inning with two men on and one out. and Sabol's spectacular fielding stunt sure pulled McCarty out of a hele ns he doubled the runner off second, who had left the bag and started for the plate, thinking there was no possible chance for the left fielder to get his hands on the ball. It was certainly the best catch ever pulled off on the Whiting diamond and the crowd gave Sabol a good hand when he walked to the bench, Hammond's leading light in yesterday's game was Tommy Harle, who aside from catching a swell game was there with the bat with a single and a double. Buddy McLaughlin, Jim McShane and Larry Hilbrich also cracked out, two nies apiece. The ether two blows were divided between Boyle and Chandler.

Floyd Fitzsimmons, the Michigan City promoter, claims to have the promise to meet Bill Brenran on Iahor Day, while stories have come out of the erst that Jess Willard will stage a comeback and try to regain the title he lost to Dempsey in Toledo nearly three years ago.

Iy McKAY By means of a flock of extra-base hit, the Colonials beat the Griffith A. C yesterday before a large and friendly east side audience, and in winning registered their tenth victory. Not nil the rooters were east sixers. I'eir conspicuous among the onlookers was no less a personage than Murray Turner. The head of our park boaiei and dr nor ef Turne-.' Field cast a contemplative eye on the bothersome ridjo ubstni.-1 lug free action in light lield. .seerain;ay with a half-formed idea of moving it back toward the Columbia schoo: Since a lar-;e portion of the, crowd saw the game from this ridge, should Mr. Turner move the natural amphitheater he will almost be compelled to provide a grandstHnd. The game was a rather listless affair; a Hammond walk-away, interrupted for a short pel ieid in the eighth inning when Griffith reared up and counteel four runs. BaUalar pitched his characteristic game, extending himself few times, throwing just good enough to assure a win. With Griffith snuffed out in the opening rour.d, Simon started Hamluonel's half by wulking. After Bloom was thrown out by the pitcher. Meyers hit one far over the center fielder's dome for a home run, Sheridan doubled in the second, stole third and counted on Hudson's fly to Demmon. Griffith scored a run in the thlrel when Miller doubled to center, took third on Cecil's out and crossed when Demmon hit safely. Hess got Pemmon at second and Walters fanned. The Colonials counted three runs in their half of the third when Bloom was given a life on D. Walter's error. Meyers walked and hoth runners came in when Ifybert hit to left for two bases. Hybert drew- the- throw by dashing for third and was tagged out by Cecil. Hess followed with a home run crash 10 left center. Hammond added a le.ne run in the fourth frame. Hudson singled and was forced by Eakalar. Simon forced Buck, stole second and third and scored on a passed tall by the catcher. Hudson counted the last run for the Colonials in the sixth when he hit to center, stole second as Eakalar whiffed, and after Simon had lifted to the first baseman, counted on Bloom's sinnle. Just to make it look like a game Bakalar eased up in the eighth round. Cecil opened with a hit and took second when Bloom's low peg got away from Babin. Demmon doubled to left, counting Cecil. D. Walters was hit on the shoe and J. Govert cleaned up with a blow over Mr. Turner's big job the right in right field. Beiriger grounded out and Babin took Bothwell's roller. E. Walters' hit counted J. Govert. and Hybert threw out Bomaster. In the final round Bloom leaped the chain on the side line for Mill

er's foul. Sherielan took Cecil's fly and Demmon ended it with a fly to Meyers. - The score: GRIFFITH AB R II PO A E Miller, ss.... 5 1 1 0 5 1 Cecil, 3b 5 1 2 4 2 0 Demmon. cf 5 1 2 2 1 0 D.

AUTO RACES

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT, lnd., June 19.-

Sunday's automobile rices at the

Crown Point fair grounds are declared by all who saw them to be

the fastest ever staged on a half-

mile track in this part of the country. There were plenty of entrants anl the cars were all tuned for speeel. A fair sized crowd witnessed the events. In the ten-mile Ford race, Winn'ston of Chicago took first place and Nichols second. The time was 11 minutes 13 2-5 seconds, which is close to the records mad on some mile tracks in these parts. Woodbury took first, Nichols second and Freeman third in the 25mile free-for-all.' The time was 28 minutes 36 seconds.

The battle royal, the great elimination race, brought the crowd up standing -as mile after mile was reeled off. The six leading men of the two preceeding- races were entered. Freeman of Hammond and his driver. Webb Schrieber, hit the fence on' the turn and were out of it. Both men were injured but able to be taken to Hammond. It is thought they will recover in time for the next race card. A broken steering knuckle on their Dodge was responsible for the accident. It finally settled down to a heat between Woodbury and Winniston, and after burning up the track for several rounds, Woodbury finally nosed out the victory.

TO promote the safety first movement, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has created within its own organization 24 separate and distinct inquisitorial bodies to investigate accidents involving Company motor equipment. These bodies are called "Safety Courts." The primary purpose of these courts is to reduce the hazard of automobile accidents on the public highway. This is directly in line with the policy of the Company to help the employee to a better understanding of his obligation to his fellow citizens. The Court meets weekly and before it must appear any employee, whether manager or truck driver, who has been involved in an accident during the preceding week. The employee comes into court as defendant with his immediate superior as his attorney. The Chairman of the Safety Council is the judge. Other members of the Council serve as jurors. When the investigation shows that the employee has been guilty of carelessness in observing traffic laws, penalties are fixed and punishment assessed by the jury. The punishment is often as novel as the plan itself. For instance, a truckdriver recently convicted of carelessness was removed from his position and sentenced to work for two weeks in the Company warehouse as a common laborer. The plan is in operation throughout the 11 Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and has been responsible for reducing automobile accidents approximately 50 percent. The spirit which pervades the "Safety Court" is to inspire employees with a sense of their responsibility to the community. As in the case of the Annuity System, which gives the employee a feeling of security regarding his future, and in the case of the Stock Investment Plan tp promote the desire to save, the "Safety Court has as its object the making of better and more responsible citizens who will render continuous and greater service to society. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is continually studying methods for improved service through adjusting its organization to the constantly changing needs cf the people of the Middle West.
