INDIANA
LEAGUE
Standing of the Clubs.


Especial to The TIMEs.)
Indiana Harbor, Sept. 5.-Indiana
Harbor fans, or the few of them who
condescended to attend Sundays and
yesterdays games, were treated to two
excellent exhibitions of the national
pastime.
Whiting was here on Sunday and
went home with a defeat. but no dis
grace. the score being seven to six. on
Monday Crown Point battled with the
Harbors and carried back a well de-
served victory of three to two. although
every inch of the ground was fought
hard to get the final decision. 1t was
cracking good game and the visitors
had lots of pep"
In Sundays game Whiting was the
first to show, scoring twice in the sec
ond inning on solid hitting and again
in the third through two hits and a mis-
play by Fee. The home team got two
of their runs in the third and fourth
innings. both being earned, the first
through a three Dagger by Meinke fol-
lowed by a single by Fee.
After one man was down in the
fourth, Bryant hit for a two-bagger to
right field and Baker brought him home
with a single in the same general di-
rection. This left whiting with lead
| of one run which looked for time as
though 1t might be sufficient to cinch
the game. But it was not. In the sew
| enth inning the visitors irifield went
straight up in the air. Williams started
the sky-rocketing by missing a high fly
from Dautell's bat, which went through
his hands right in front of the home
plate. Baker was given a life by third
baseran Weiss when his namesake on
the Harbor team, rolled one down the
| first base line which proved to be hfs.
Kelly then batted one down the thirt
base line and Dauten hiked for home.
Thirdbaseman Weiss helping him along
hitting him in the back with the ball In
an effort to catch him on the home
plate. This still left the bases full
which Meinke proceeded to empty with a
long two-bagger to center field, he scor-
ling later on a sacrifice by Fee and hit
| by O'Brien.
The sum total of all these doings was
. FIVE runs.
! In Writings half of the eighth they
made bold but unsuccessful attempt to
tie the score. Andrews. the first man
on the batting list opened with hit
past third but was forced by Ora bow.
LASER then came to the front with a
nice single, putting Grabow on second
| and himself on first. Both runners
were advanced by wild pitch and scor-
ed when Hora made his second two
Dagger of the game. he coming home a
short time afterward on hit by Weiss.
This made three runs more for the
enemy but one short of enough to tie
the score. Neither side made any more
runs.
/ Yesterdays game was anybody's un-
til the last man was put out in tbs
ninth inning. Harbor was the first &c
come across the plate. Meinke being
responsible for 1t in the first inning
This looked as though it would be suffi-
cient until the fifth ming when Crown
Point tied the score on a base on balls
and two hits Harbor then retaliate6
by placing another one to their credit
in the sixth inning and Grown Poini
cinched the game in the seventh inning
with a couple of hits and a disastrou.
} error by third baseman Baker
The hitting was light on both sides
! both pitchers twirling a fine game with
Henning getting a shade the better o.
it.
