Indiana Harbor, Ind, Sept. 27.-The
Empires Of Chicago came back yester-
day to revenge the 4-3 defeat they
sustained at the hands of the Indiana
Harbor team three weeks ago, but were
compelled to go back home with
worse one in the shape Of a to 4
beating
When they were here before they
made all their runs in the first inning
but yesterday they waited until the
eighth for their squirt and then made
their four runs in that inning. Bob
Ford. the Harbor's star pitcher IS sick
in bed, threatened with typhoid fever,
so Croak from Stony Island did the
slab work for the locals. and pitched a
good game. Catcher Girard of the
Harbar had his thumb smashed in the
eighth inning by a foul tip and was
succeeded behind the bat by Jimmie Gal

Harbor boys played rather loosely in
the field, the game being punctured by
plenty OF errors. Girard and Sternberg
each got two-bagger and single,

been brought to a better appreciation
of the needs of the people of this city.
Mayor Becker came in late. but he
had no sooner entered, what had pre-
