Most Popular Feature il
Harbor Celebration Was
Ball Game.

Indiana Harbor. July 6.-(SpeciaD-
Probably the most popular feature of
the Fourth of July celebration in In
diana Harbor was the baseball game in
the afternoon between the Indiana Har-
Dor team and the Federals of Chicago.
The latter aggregation of ball tossers
is the only nine that has defeated the
locals this year. but they were so
badly outcIassed Saturday that it seems
incrediable they ever won game from
the home team.
Not less than 1000 fans saw the
game. The grand stand was filled to
its utmost capacity and all around the
grounds eager and enthusiastic root
ers stood through the two hours oc-
cupie din playing the game with ap-
parently no thought of being tired.
The scoring did not commence until
the third innings when Indiana Har-
Dor, by a punching of hits and some
loose fielding on the part of the visitors.
put three men across the home plate.
To this was added two more in the
fifth and one each in the seventh and
eighth
The Federals threatened In the fourth
when they had man on second and
one on tRlrd with none OUT, Dut foId
was always master Of the situation and
by superb pitching and excellent
display of head work struck out the
next three batsmen. In the sixth E.
Zettenberg managed to make the circuit
Of the bases through a series of hits
and sacrifices by his mates, thus scor-
ing the only run his side got in the
game.
! Aside from the battery work of the
home team the base running Of Murphy
and the throwing of Nellis were the
most noticeable features.

To Maintain Health,

There is an erroneous idea in the
minds of many as to what constitutes
a strong physique. A man can be
strong physically without great stature
and huge muscles. II he has why
frame, body that resists disease, he
can indulge in many hours of severe
brain work. He will make 1t rule,
however, to take sufficient physical
exercise to keep his system in good
