"Yesterday, while under the avalanche

in wild fashion. P. A., even the war

Johnny Evers knock a homer off Walter

"We have also learned that In the

"Well. P. A.. It is great and when the

there to gee them fight it out, perhaps
the bloomy kaiser will get interested
in the national pamo and lie will call

"Over here, the boys are playing- two

other in the war association of which
nearly every country is represented. Our

turned the tables on Hammond last
year will again do the heavy work next

that he caught a few games for Ham

be on the reciving end. . Other familiar
faces on the team will be Fiedler, who
played third base for Hammond in the
opening game against the Ideals and
Schwind, the shortstop, who worked thi3
same position for the locals after Kav

last season. Beech, who was a star
with East Chicago in the old Northern
Indiana League, will play second base.
