that. Ed Walsh warmed up most Of the
afternoon. Every little while Frank

him and laughed to himself Alias Bill

there to do it himself, and he did 1t.
He didn't do it ALL but he did his
share, and that's more than a lot of
pitchers have been able to do
The last half of the twelfth inning
came around with the score 1 to 1. The
White Sox had counted once in the
first inning on a catcher's mistake, aft
er a pitcher had put himself in a hole.
The Red Sox had scored just as many
in the eighth on a catcher's mistake
after pitcher had made 1t possible
for the mistake to hurt. Molly Me-
loan and Bill LANCE had ripped the
seams off the ball pounding Cicotte
delivery. but they had no help and
couldn't win it without.

That the Lake county baseball cham

by THE TIMES in it's editorial columns
several days ago. is sure. meet

Old Rivalry VIII Return.

With a league in Lake county
great deal of interest is sure to be
aroused among the fans. and the old
rivalry which exists between the fans
and players in Lake county will come
back. and when the teams are battling
for first place in a league business men
will begin to take an interest in the
national sport and before the season
progresses very far every man. woman
and child will be interested in his home
team and the crowds which attend
these games will be at least twice as
large and possibly three times as
large as the crowds that are now
gathering at ball parks to witness the
home teams clash with Chicago mines
D. D. C1audy,. secretary and treasurer
of the Gary Association team, made an
excellent suggestion regarding the
cancelling of all games scheduled with
teams after next Sunday. and 1t was
decided to reschedule all games among
the Lake county teams for the balance
of the season at the meeting next Mon
day night. Every man was in favor Of
the move and 1t was decided to play
next Sundays games just as sched-
uled, but after that time any game al
ready scheduled with either a Lake
county team or a Chicago nine is void.
Despite the hardships suffered by
nearly every baseball manager in Lake
county this season, there is a feeling
of harmony among them now. and
there is no doubt but what a six-league
| team will be organized at the meet
ing Monday night, Aug. Is, in the
Hammond Athletic association club
rooms.
This league has long been looked for
by people in Lake county and 1t is al
most certain that the bud will burst
/ when the managers come together next
! Monday night. Those who were pres
ent at the meeting last night were as
! follows: d. D. Claudy secretary and
treasurer of the Gary association team
William c. Kunert, one of the GcSry
park owners; o. s. McGinnity, direct
! or OF the Gary team; Matt Sternberg
Jr. representing Indiana Harbor
Frank Long, manager of the whiting
Grays; Charles Ketchel. manager OF
the Hammond nine. and Melvin Mo-
nette, one of the H A. A. park own
ers.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-08-11

However, next Monday night a sec
ond meeting of the county baseball
managers will be held at the Ham
mond Athletic association clubrooms
at o'clock sharp. and every manager
is urged to be present. The towns
which will be represented in this
league are Hammond, Gary, Indiana
Harbor, Crown Point. Whiting and
either Hobart or Lowell.
Another important feature of the
meeting was the proposition to orga-
nize a six-team league in Lake county
next year, again following out sug-
gestions made in these columns.
Nothing definite regarding the league
was decided upon last night owing to
the fact that three Lake county towns
were not represented. But those who
did attend were all in favor of this
league and it is almost certain that
such a league will be put through.
1t was suggested that the Chicago
teams be frozen out altogether, as
every manager is aware of the fact
that it is a losing proposition. 1t was
further decided to finish the season
among the Lake county teams and
therefore decide the championship of
Lake county.

An amount Of Frcs. 68I.0O has been spent
in repairing and recoasttucting the lire en-
CINE No. l in Chris siaussod, and Of this
expense only about one-;hirl can be covered
by the grant given on the budget under tins
item.
The Governor introduced the Money BIZ
stating that the repairs to an engine in
Christianstel had cost more than had been
Contemplated when the work was com
meuc0d. He ha no doubt that the Isl
Grown Member ana perhaps also the 9Th
Grown Member could throw some light on
the subject,
All Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (~1{elwin), thought that, as the Oh
engines are worn out, it would be better
to purchase new ones it wcuId be mopey
well spent.
Bird Member for Frederiksted's Coantrv
District Btachnood) qulte agreed with the
last speaker. Modern engines are very ef-
ticient. When he was in New York and
was ENDURING for fire engines for use at his
works, he was offered engines ut $500 and
5000 each that could do very good work.
Those engines We're supplied with water
mixed with a chemical substance which in
creased its quenching property, q good thing
when water is scarce. He thought that 10
repair old engines was like throwing away
money.
5th Crown Member II, Peterseu) thought
that some old engines, when thoroughly re
paired, might be better than new ones.
1st Crown Member (1udersolD said that the
engine which had been repaired was a supe-
rior one 1t had been imported since 1853 and
only recently was found to need repair.
Now that it has been repaired ii is the most
powerful engine we have.
The Uuiy03u pointed out that it was o
far cry from the cost Of repairing the engine
IN question (Frcs. 681} to five or SIX hun
dred dollars. He had no doubt it would be
a good thing to get now engines, and sone
day, if the island hourjshes, We might get
them. Now, the only question before us is
this proposed grant, which he would put to
the vote.
The Draft was unanimously passed the
first discussion, and the Council agreed
similarly to pass to second discussion
finally the draft was unanimously adopted.
