If the Cubs and Pirates had played
on the Hammond Athletic associations
grounds yesterday afternoon there
could not have been more excitement
than there was in connection with the
battle between the c., I. & S. Boiler
makers and the Hammond Athletic
club. on the latter's grounds. In some
way it was a peculiar game from
which the Boilermakers emerged the
victors by a score of to 8. If one
could figure that the game was lost be-
cause of the seven fielding errors, let
him bear in mind that Enright's wild
throw, the lost grounder by Farrell,
the muffed fly by Geib, and another by
Stewart, and Dissosway's bridge act,
five of the errors were made in the
third, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth
innings and gave no runs. Neither can
it be charged to the pitcher, Halfman,
who saw his oppents cross the home
plate five times, while against such
luck he held them down to two singles,
one of them a scratch.
How the BOIIermakers Won.
It was simply the Boilermaker's day
to win.
Hudson, the catcher for the Boiler
makers, was hit by pitched ball in
the second inning and reached sec
ond base on Steinhauer's hit, and was
sacrificed to third by hurry, and then
came home in S. Gratwick's hit down
the first base line. Gratwick blocked
Dissosway on first, preventing him
from cutting off Hudson at home. Hud-
| son figured in the next run, gettine

MORDECAI BROWN ON SLAB

taking it from the doves. so easy did
that 7-to-0 score pile up.
There was nothing TO it cub cubs all
the way, and at no time during the
game did the dodgers appear to threat
en-. Mordecai Brown was on the job
and he made the opposing batsmen
look like beginners, seven having been
retired via the strikeout route. Three
hits were the best the visitors could
do to him. Two of them were tagged
for two sacks, one into the left field
bleachers by Burch and the other into
the right field seats by Hunter.
On the other hand, the cubs made
two triples out of the six they got of
of Mcintyre. and at that the dodger
twirler seemed to be going we'll The
hits would pop in rather unexpectedly,
but the cubs made them count. In
only one inning was there a hit made
that did not result In a score. That
was in the third. when Schultz got his
triple. There was only one down ct
the time but Howard, who was sent
nto bat for Chance, fouled out and
Steinfeldt grounded out to McEfveen.

is shortly to be fitted up with cases
for the fling away of records and other
papers which accumulate in hands Of
the clerk and the superintendent of

The board Of education may consider
themselves fortunate in securing this

kindly to the rooms, because they were
on the second floor. and chose instead
for his sanctum sanctorium room ad-

This left the suite upstairs tenantless

H. Jappeson. that the change in head
quarters for the board of education and
the superintendent Of schools from
the high school building to the city
hall. was made.

play to Sadler. but the umpire called
J. Gratwick safe at home. Sadler, the
catcher seeing Lazendusky was hug
ring third, threw to first to put out
Steinhauesr. but the throw was into
the crowd, letting in Lazendusky, who
was followed by Hudson. The pitching
of Marray, for the Boilermakers, was
good. for while he gave seven base
hits, one of them a scratch, he struck
out his opponents at dangerous times.
Enright and Farrell worked a good
double steal in the fifth inning. Geib's

MARTY AND AD
IN SLUG FEST
Boxers Indulge in Fierce
Contest at Amusement
Park.

Forest Parks boxing bout yesterday
between Martie Kane of Hegewisch
and Ad Wolgast the conqueror of
Battling Nelson" was not like the first
of the series OF Sunday sparrtng ex-
hibitions a week ago, which was duly
censored and approved by Deputy Sher-
IF Thomas v Morrison.
The deputy sheriff did not stand at
the ringside and the lack Of his pres
ence seemed to affect the force of the
blows that were struck by the two pug
lists.
Wolgast went against the ropes
twice from the quick rushes of his
sparring partner and Kane was knock
ed against the ropes once. Kane was
wabbling on his feet when time was
called at the end of the last round.

While the red sox were riding hither
and thither in red automobiles fur
nished them by the Boston club, the
sox remained as close to their hotel as
they could to avoid the dangers of
being run over on Sunday by the red
sox, as they have been in the two first
days Of their visit here.
Doc White departed last night for
his home in washington and will re-
main there until his injured leg is well
enough for him to get back into the
game. He expects TO be able to join
the team when it gets to New York
the last part Of the coming week. Like
wise b. Purteu left for his home in Co
lumbus. Ohio, where he is going to
stay until the bump on his head is re-
duced.
It is not the ordinary case OF swelled
head on Purtelrs part but the result of
a collision with fast ball pitched by
Fiene some three weeks ago that
caused the enlargement Of Billy's head.
Billy IS no good to the team as he is
no wand may not be good for the re-
rnainder Of the season as he is afraid OF
the ball while at bat and pulls away
from the plate. The doctor has ad-
vised him to go to some quiet place and
rest until he is all over the effects Of
the blow, but even then he viii be
weak at the bat.
