How Each Inning Went.
The fourth inning started out in an
auspicious way for the Lowell team but
good work at the right time stopped
their chances for scoring. In Ham
mond's half of the fourth they received
a goose egg for their work. The sixth
and seventh innings were exact dupli-
Gates of the fourth. neither getting a
man past second. In the eighth, Purdy,
of the visitors. laid down an easy one
to Mcmahon and was thrown out at
first. McNay followed with a nice cen
ter drive but this was pulled down by
Shearer after a hard run. Mike"
Lynch, the speedy man on the Lowell
team, struck out. In Hammond's share
of the eighth two men hunted and were
out; Clarke, the next batter, chopped
three time at the air. retiring his side.
Lowell tried hard to put another run
across the plate in the ninth but speedy
work by the locals at the right tirne
prevented it The Hammond team pre-
pared for one OF those ninth inning
batting rallys in the last round and for
while it looked like they would make
good. Klose, the first man up, put
down a nice one to Dobbins, the visi-
tos' second baseman, who whipped 1t
to first just catching his man. Elder,
the Hammond catcher. refused to fall
victim to Twins twisters, and met
the ball for a nice single. Fowler
| followed Elder. getting a nice two bag
ger. Elder was caught trying to steal
third. Enright, with his never come
off SMILE" advanced to the plate. pre-
pared to lay out the ball, but was out
on an easy grounder to McCarty. Jim
my Clarke, the local pitcher, was fal
from being at his best yesterday, and
10 hits were registered off him, to three
off Irwin, the visiting hurler. Clarke
had two strikeouts to his credit Will,
Irwin had seven.
Umpire Makes Hit.
One feature of the game was the fail
and impartial umpiring OF Fowler
Billy Grant Of Lowell was one o.
the most enthusiastic rooters during
the game.
Fully 1000 people turned out to sc,
yesterdays game and the general opin
ion among the fans was that it was tn,
best game played at the local grounds
this season. The Lowell aggregation
