ALL STARS

Hammond's baseball team, giving an
exhibition of a batting rally in the
fourth stanza yesterday, trimmed the
Chicago All Stars in spectacular
gone at the H. A. A. park by count
of to 2. The locals scored all five
runs in the fourth inning when they
punched hits off Bersing. the visitors
twirler and from that time on the
game was sewed up so tight that the
All Stars had no chance to get at 1t.
With the count standing / to 0
against them. the locals started an at
tack against the Chicago pitcher which
later proved disastrous. Bersing had
pitched alright ball up to this inning
and 1t looked as If he was going
through the fourth without any dam
age being inflicted on him. Klopp. the
first man up for the locals, filed out to
short and McCay was given a base on
balls. But Smith broke the hurler's
reputation into smithereens when he
sent a screaming single into right gar
den. But the most remarkable thing
resulting from the bingle that Nc
Cay got all the way to third on the hit.
Buhring, the next man up. pounded out
Texas Lacquer and McCay and Smith
scored. Smith, the local first sacker.
was an easy out. The visitors seemed
to be a bit nervous at this period of
the game and when Cavanaugh ground
ed to short the latter fumbled and the
runner was safe at first, Buhring COM
Ing home on the play. Rohde came to
bat with determined look on his face
and lined a bingle toward right field.
He could have walked and made the
base. Cavanaugh sprinted to third on
the bingle. Bersing pitched one ball to
Pierson and the visitors backstop in
throwing the ball back to Bersing
threw wild. Cavanaugh started home
and made it when the shortstop threw
mile over the catcher's head. Rohde
was given credit for stealing q run
in this inning. The crafty little
shortstop started for homo while the
pitcher was winding up. He would
have been easy out, but Pierson
made 1t look better when he sent the
pill to short and Rohde registered.
The visitors shortstop fumbled and
Pierson was safe but was caught al
second.
The game was won after the finish
of the fourth inning and the visitors
were aware of the fact. AS the locals
played excellent ball behind their gal
