NORTHERN
INDIANA
LEAGUE

1t took ten innings of the most ex-
citing and nerve-racking ball to de-
eide the game between Crown Point /
and Indiana Harbor here yesterday, |
and 1t was a game replete with sensa-
tional work both sides. Stallman !
and Gaarde featured their side of the /
game with two long swats to center |
field. which, aided by the wind, were |
good for home runs each occasion. |
Meinke for Indiana Harbor also played
sensational game at shortstop and
deprived Crown Point of many chances
to reach first.
Both Kelly and Henning pitched SUI
perb ball and but for errors by their
team mates would have lessened the
score by many points. Smith had an
off day yesterday and had a number
of errors to his credit. Crown Points
double and triple plays during the
game were eye-openers to the Harbor
crowd and convinced them that their
team had a worthy opponent.
There was the usual squabbling as
to umpire's decisions both sides,
but taking the game by and large, as
our 'steemed II. f. X. would put it,
they were eminently fair and each
team probably had grounds for a kick
safe at home plate his steal, Civ
ing the usual advantage to the run
ner. but the Crown Point catcher was
called out. The Harbor crowd raised
a kick on Durwe's decision at second
plate, but there were many who tes-
tify that the runner was not touched
by the ball. he sliding under Stallman.
