accompanied the Crown Point team to
Hammond yesterday returned last night
with very little satisfaction and many
regrets over the outcome of the game.
The chief regret is that they did not
take a few wooden ball players along
to take the place of some of the Crown
Point players who We're responsible
for making somewhat of a farce OF the
entire exhibition.
Certainly yesterday was not Crown
Points day and instead was decidedly
Hammond's, the latter team playing to
all kinds of good luck from the start
to the finish of the contest Not that
they didn't ontplav Grown Point at
every stage of the game. but their hits
came at opportune times and most
convenient and lucky places. while the
Crown Point players were minus
quantity with the little god luck. All
kinds of errors were stacked up-against
the locals and the entire repertoire OF
pitchers was used to stem the tide OF
defeat, but to no avail. Hammond in
convincing style showed that she was
superior over Crown Points players
who put up the sorriest exhibition oil
the national game seen on Lake county
grounds in some time.
