for the visitors. presented us with an
other score when his Wild peg TO first
pulled that baseman off his station and
let Mokate slide in. Henning's single
TO short center, coupled with that field
er's bad throw to third brought in Hud-
son and Mostil. setting lead of five
runs for the Introductory frame. Ham

visitors, refused to allowed this to rat
tie him, however. and famed three of
Hammond's best sluggers in the next
inning He issued a pass to Knight,
who stole second prettily. then struck
out Moll. Walsh and Mokate in quick
succession.

There were two new faces on the
Hammond lineup yesterday. Both men
have played in one previous game this
season Mosti1 replaced Shannon. who
has been released at second base. and
DeLave filed Rhodes position in right

enviable batting average in the Chicago
League this season. did not come up to
the fullest expectations of the fans, his

Kearns. whereas Henning allowed but
five. Out of Hammond's eleven hits
Hennig took three for his share. and
Mokate two.
Lose to Cubans Saturday.
Although Parduhn's men were beaten
by the Cuban All Stars Saturday the
margin was dangerously close. and they
were nor outclassed. The game wound
up. Cubans. 8; Hammond. 1. Hammond
came so close to upsetting them in the
closing frame that they were forced to
put in a new pitcher. even after Ham
mond had two down. We had filled the
bases. and Mac Thompson was up. when
the new twirler was sent in. He had a
ball that travelled like a bullet. and all
that Mac could do was to make three
harmless punches at him. Anyone else
would have done the same The base
runners died game. but disappointed.
The crowds at these two games We're
exceedingly small. due largely to the
extreme warm weather.
