HUB GAME
Especial to THE TIMES,


Crown Point, Ind, Aug. 2S.-Crown
Point won over Whiting at the local
grounds yesterday and succeeded in
breaking the long standing hoodoo
which has followed the local team in
their previous games with the Oil city
aggregation. The game was protested
by Whiting, however, on interpreta-
ton of the rules. Henning took Percy
smiths place in the second inning aft
three runs had been CLEANED off the
delivery of Smith. Henning from that
time on had the Whiting players at his
mercy and repeatedly retired the side
without a hit. In the eighth inning
Henning had lined out a safe hit over
first base when McGrath came to bat.
The little center fielder poked out a
singer between first and second base
which was good for two bases before
Mcmahon had fielded the ball McMa-
hon made a mighty heave for third base
in effort to catch McGrath and
threw at least ten feet over Grabow's
head Henning and McGrath scored on
the wild peg, tying the score. Umpire
Clapper ruled that both men were safe,
but Whiting set up mighty howl,
contending that only one base could be
taken on the wild peg. After some
scrapping, in which Clapper allowed
Whiting twenty minutes or more to ar
que their point. the game was resumed
under protest by Whiting.
/ The game yesterday was replete with
pretty and sensational plays. McGrath
for Crown Point spearing a long, low
! drive in center field that looked good
for a safe hit. Schmidt on third base
also did some great fielding and throw
| ing and every man on the Crown Point
team had their batting eye. Andrews
for Whiting played a sensational game
at left field and Grabow starred in the
/ vicinity of third base. The game as
viewed from the side lines was as fol-
lows.
