If they can trim the. strong: South Chicago agg-reg-atlon snd then follow with a win over Harvey a week from Sunday this will put Hammond back into a tie' for first place and make their chances for another pennant look much brighter than at the present tlm. Several players were out for the regular Tuesday practice last evening an evary member of the team is urgently requestad to report at the Standard Steel park for another two-hour drill tomorrow eveningThe Standard grounds will be put in first class shape for Sunday and with the players working out on the diamond two nights this week, it is though that they will be able to thoroughly familiarize themselves with their new surroundings. A good crowd is expected to turn out for Sunday's game, as the South Chicago team is always accompanied by a throng of rooters and everybody knows that the local K. of C. team has as big a following of loyal fans as any club in the Calumet region. The 5act that the game is to be played at the Standard Park wn! not make one particle of difference in the size of the crowd as the fans will Journey most any place to see a regular ball game between two evenly matched clubs, such as Hammond and South Chicago.

TWELVE INNING GAME

"Morrle" Cole and the North Side A. C. battled with the skill of one cf the "best semi-pro teams of the Chicago City League, Sunday, and a 4 to 3 twel ve-inninj; victory over the Pullman A. C. was their reward. A double by Badowski in what proved to be the final inning, and a single by MacMurray did the business. The Pullman A. C. were the first to score. Koomers the first man up in the second, was hit by a pitched ball. Hog then forced Koomers and was safe at first on a close play. He took third on CassJdy's single. Then Brown hit one to Cile -who threw: to Gratwick to force Cassidy at second, Gratwick, however. In trying for a double play did not touch second and his throw- to first was a trifle too late to get Brown. Hog scored on Gratwlck's throw to first. Bedzek finijhed the inning 'by whiffing.

The North Siders fn their xth

came from behind and forged ahead on two hits and an error. After one out Wojcieszak singled. MacMurray struck out and Hilton hit an easy roller to Hog who threw wild to first, which allowed both runners

to advance an extra base. Grat-. wick singled to right, scoring "Wojcieszak and Hilton. Gallager made

a spectacular catch of Quinn's long drive to close the inning. Prom the second inning until the ninth Cole was invincible, as he did not allow a sing! hit. Linstrom. to open Pulman's ninth, greeted Cole with a single. P. Fisk tried to sacrifice but in the attempt he hit into a snappy double play. It seemed as though the game was over with, so all the fans started for the gates. However, J. Fisk. a man of Babe Ruth type, pinch hitting for Koomers. wheezed a single over first. Hog and Cassidy singled in quick succession, thereby permitting J. Fisk to count. This tied the score and the game was forced into extra innings for Brown was an easy out. The North Siders stepped into the lead in their half of the tenth. Cassidy funVbled Badowski's grounder, and "Wojcieszak sacrificed him to second, from where he raced home when MacMurray bomnced a double off of the center field fence. Pullman came right back and tied the sore. on two hfts and an error.

A fast double play killed whatever chance the North Siders had in the eleventh. Pullman threatened In their haJf of the eleventh when Hog first up singled Cole then tightened up and struck out the next two men, and Clark helped him by nipping Hog who tried to eteal second. The North Siders won -the game in the twelfth as mentioned above. Pullman was retored In order in its half. MacMurray'a work with the stick was a feature of the game. Me poled three hits, one a double, in five attempts. Frank Wojcieszak, who autrbed at short in place of J. Gratwick, pliyed In big league style both at bat and in the field. Credit must also be given to L. Gratwick who cccepted thirteen chances with only one error. The North Side A. C who have scheduled a number of strong teams for future dates have strengthened their line up by signing Hilton to assist Cole in pitching, and Harris In the Outfield.

All his challengers, including Dundee and Frush. want It at the new weight of 126 pounds at 2 jrclock the day of the bout, as recognized by the state commission.

Sam Rice contributed much to the downfall of Urban Faber and the White Sox, ? to , starting the Senators off on their winning rally in the thirteenth and roaming about the outfield for glittering catches. He hit safely on his last five appearances at the plate.
