Unlike the mighty Cubs and Sox,
Crown Point started the 1911 season
with a clean-cut victory over the Chi
cago Red Sox yesterday at tho local
grounds. winning by q score of 10 to
2 and putting up an article of ball that
nearly resembled tho professional order
for early in the season. Percy
Smith and Pete Henning were the
twirlers for the locals and showed that
they still had lhe power to toss some
ball" Smith pitched the first five in
ninss. striking out six men and allow
ing three hits. while Henning's record
in the four innings was ten men by
the fan route. allowing three hits to
be CLEANED off his delivery. The Crown
Point players aggregated twelve hits
of the visiting pitcher, being unable to
md him for much until after the NTH
inning. whtn the "swatfest'' COM
menced and ended not until ten runs
had been chalked up to their credit.
The Red Sox played a good article Of
ball, but the safe batting of the locals
was too much for the visitors. The
crowds was good for the first game of
the season and considering the cool
weather. The playing of the local
players was highly satisfactory to the
management and fans and portends the
championship team of Crown Point la
ter in the season.
There Is a famine of rentable mod
ern houses in Crown Point at present
and at least six families from other
towns are in quest OF the same. With
the coming of the interurban within
the next few months the demand for
homes will be greater than ever and
It looks like a good money making
proposition to build a string OF modern
homes for rent. The people are bound
TO come to Crown Point to live.
