going one better the initial contest a
fortnight ago. Percy Smith and Elder
for Crown Point, supported in splendid
style by their team mates. had the
edge on their rivals at nearly every
stage of the game. although it was
either teams game until the bats were
sacked in the ninth. Three long drives
at various stages of the game were
turned into home runs by the nifty
Hammond base runners. the balls be-
ing difficult to field, although the swat
ordinarily would not have figured for
more than two or three-sacker.

Crown Point fielder was about to bag II

Hammond catcher at the plate.
