COLONIALS

LOSE GAME -HammondTeamHakesThrill-ing Uphill Fight But Loses in Final Inning A mighty wallop to a near-by potato patch fn the ninth inning by third baseman Weinke of the Kouts team, terminated a sensational free hitting base ball S;irae which resulted In a 6 to 5 victory for the Kouts Stars. After traveling four inninss In a state of complete subjection, the Colonials showed a revived spirit tn the fifth, and confronted by a five run lead piled up by tho Kouts team, counted two runs. Counting three in the lucky seventh, the Hammond fellows tied the score, sending excitement to a peak which held until Weinke cracked one on the seam In the last of the final frame, with two on and tv. o away. The game, which by the way was played at Kouts. Ind., was one In which breaks were about evenly distributed. The Colonials, although they were the visiting club, got several breaks and made the most of th;m. it was anybody's Kanie until the final bell. Steve Cabin was laid law by a kick in the temple when comins into third in the second inning and was forced to leave tho game. Kouts trot away to one-run lead in the second, when Claussen, who vas the hitting kid throughout the f ntei-tainment. peeled off a lon-r triple to riht and counted on Guzinski's roller over second. AVellman singled to start the third and Loomis hit to Eddie Bloom. Bloom turned to throw to second, but when some one failed to cover, threw low at first. JIaJot's hit counted Wellman and Claussen's second threetagger chaaed loomls and Majot across. The fifth run was scored In the fourth when Matty doubled, took third on a passed ball and counted on rfcott's wide throw. The winning run in the ninth came when, after Loomis flew to Meyers, Mujot got a clean one over second. Claussen bunted In front of the plate and Loomis was forced out at second on a close play. With two gone and tho winning run on fir .st Guzinbkl sent cne to center vhich Kennedy was unable to smother and Claussen took third, Juzinski pulling up at first. Weinke cd one to ri?ht center for the game. Hammond counted In the fifth aft-t-i auuts :uu jioppea on to a nveun lead as mentioned above. Thompson lifted to center and North smacked a (safe drive in the sanTo direction. Hudson forced North at second. F. Simon singled over secend and counted along with Hudeon when Brother Babe whaled a tiiple to deep right. Excitement Wkxed hot In the seventh when Hammond tied it up and prospects looked good for a Colonial victory. .'orth again opened wi;h a safe helped the reputation of the batting o-der's tail end by hitting safely to right. F. Simon whiffed, but again Brother Babe produced. North counting and Hudson scoring when the catcher missed the throw from the field. Bloom singled but was trapped off first and Meyers struck out Hammond had a big chance to even matters up In their half of the li. nth, which North started with his third safety. Hudson lifted to the pitcher and North took second by a clan theft. Babe Simon whanged hit number three to right, but old Mike Callahan, foimer Chicago eemi-pro. threw perfectly to tho plate and North was out by inches.

It was openly boasted In the circles of the sporting fraternity In this city last winter how much so-and-so had cleaned up in & series of basketball games ait this school gym or that. The various clubs that used the school gym charged admission fees Sut never turned over a cent to the schools. It will be different this year. Fifteen per cent of the gate receipts will go to the building wherein the game Is played. This In addition to other charges for Janitor service, lights, heat, etc. The arrangement is fair and equable and should meet with ready response from the basketeers of the town.

OUTSIDERS

BALLS ARE STANDARDIZED W NOT GOLF CLUBS?

One logical point brought out by a wll known amateur the other day was to the effect that the steel shaft might be eventually used as the standard club . He said: "They are always talking about standardizing the'game, keeping the balls within such and suoh weight and dimension, why not go on and hit cpon a standard clutb? I haven't started in to play with steel clubs as yet, though there seems little room for doubt that the time is not far distant when I will be using something other than hickory. Getting good shafts is becoming more difficult each season. I'd give a good deal to get another shaft In my brassie, the same as the one I broke a short time ago. They tell me that steel-shafted clubs can be duplicated to the fraction of an ounce. It seems to me that ought to solve the problem." If there was one disappointed Individual more than another in the special invitation tournament at the

DR. BICKNELL TIES WITH CHICAGO TARGET CRACK

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHITING, IND., Sept. 13 It was a great shoot that was shot over the Whiting Park Traps Sunday, Sept. 17th. The wind was anything but kind to the shooters in helping make good scores, but just run your eye down the list of traps shots and see some of the top notch scores that was made. In the 50 bird event, Dr. Bicknell. the Ease Chicago star, tied with W. C. Warren, of Chicago, one of the best target breakers in the middle west, with 47 breaks. Dr. Bicknell being a club member the trophy went to him. John Eck and Dr. Tlmm finished second with 45. In the shoot oft E k w on. 22 to 20. Following the 50 bird event was the double event at 25 pairs. In this event in a gale of wind, Dr. H. Tlmm and W. C. Warren each broke 42.

Steams, Jr., the Piping Rock amateur who a year ago won that same event, defeating Oswald Klrkby, former Metropolitan champion tn the final. Just prior to the recent event Stearns broke the shaft of his driver. ! Now at the National Links one cannot get far in competition unlsss driving- well, consequently the moment his driver was broken, Stearns went to the clubmaker and gave him instructions as to jjst how he wanted the club re-shafted. What he got was a corry imitation of his old favorite. The balance was indifferent, the whip in another place; even the actual weight of the club wu not the same. Unquestionably it was the actual difference 'between the feel of the old and new club plus the mental hazard caused by loss of confidence that was responsible for Stearns' Indifferent tee shots on the first day.

DIAMONDS

SCALPED BV II F" By LARRY GEORGE With "Chief Watkins, the big Indian, dropping an impossible spitter over the plate, the Diamond A. C. gang vent down before the strong Chicago Heights nine in a 7 to 3 loss. PiUssell started the twirling for the Heights team, but when the Diamonds bunched a load of mishandled sacrifices and a timely wallop for thre guns, they yanked him and substituted their pride and joy. "Chief" Watkins. Watkins was good and therein lies the cause of his success. As a matter of fact, he was so good that ne did not allow a hit nor a run all the time he labored. He also sent eight consecutive strikeout victims a prancing back to their happy hunting grounds. That is a considerable feat for any twlrler in fast baseball to accomplish. And he received a heavy hand for it from the fans. Klawltter was, as usual, quite a mystery for the Heights men to solve. They found only five of his shoots for as many safe hits. But he spoiled hir good work with too many free tickets to first. In the third, the Heights big inning, he unnecessarily passed the first three men to face him. Then Dickson strolled up to the swatting station and proceeded to unbuckle a three-base wallop to deep right. It was the longest drive of the day. He scorc.l Immediately af terwarc on Madura's dinky single. Total: Four runs on two hits and three walks. Not so good for the Diamonds. The Heights scored three more runs in later innings, but they were not -equived, so we will forget all about them. The early munificence or liberality of Klawitter was enough to insure the Heights a win. And that is the big story.

LACK OF FOOTBALL PEPJ H.S. Hammond's Huskies in High School Fear to Get Hair Mussed Up

"DATED I P" Sept ?9 At home Oct. 27 At MIshawaka Oct. 14 At East Chicago Oct. 21 At Frobe'. Unless there is a sudden and overwhelming rush of "huskies" to the playing field, Hammond high school this fall may look to the record of its football squad in intercity competitions as the best that a fairly fast, lightweight team can establish under the competent generalship of a Zuppke coach. Because Hammond Is certainly lacking championship material. Famous for Its athletic prowess and sporting proclivities the old burg seems this year to have come under the spell of the tea-room and dance hcund. Anyway the old spirit is lacking and where once a hundrei students turned out for football practice this year there are few more than a score. School officials may Invoke an ostracism of "huskies" who refuse to exert themselves on the gridiron because of press of social engagements. Coach Wilson Is straining every facility to whip into -shape a presentable team for the first game of the season. This will ibe played September 29 on the local lot with either Rennsealer or Momence. The lads who have turned out are trying hard. But they are light. Unusually so. according to the coach. There is no weight to the line. Tackles are needed and Wilson is endeavoring to convert a crack center into a good quarterback. Those are some of the expedients Wilson is resorting to. He's up asrainst it because of dearth of material. "What we want is weight." says Wilson. Enthusiasm of the candidate has been somewhat curtailed because of tailure of uniforms to arrive. Jerseys and socks are procurable but the lads vhave lacked pants and pads. Not actually lacked those essentials but, they've 'been worrying along in makeshift regalia awaiting the regulation outfits. Wilson hopes to announce the arrival of the r tilts within a day or two. SCHEEREV1LLE WINS BASEBALL 1 One of the largest crowds of the season gathered around together from Gary. Dyer, Chicago Heights and Scheererville to witness the baseball torunament played at Scheerervllle Sunday afternoon. The four teams that competed for the day's games were Chicago Heights. Gary Owls. Dyer A. C.'s and the Scheererville A. C.'s. The first game of the afternoon was the game played by Scheererville and Dyer Scheerervllle won by a score of 5-4. The second game played was be tween the Peerless A. C.'s of Chicago Heights and the Gary Owls. The Gary Owls won by a score of 10-6. The last jrame was played by the teams winning in the first two games played namely, Scheerervllle and the Gary Owls. The Gary owl3 started out their first inning with seven runs making tiie game look like a one side affair but the Scheererville boys brought in five runs which made the game interesting. In the fourth inninc the Gary Owls brought three more runs in. and Scheererville scored two making a count of 10-7. The bombardment by the Scheererville boys came in the sixth Inning when Scheererville knocked the pill around the field for two and three ''rase hltsscoring ten runs, after which Scheererville held the Owls scoreless till the end of the game. .1 the games were seven innine S9
