Hammond to Play Chicago's
Crack Colored Nine Next
Sunday, Who Defeated
Gary Cracks.
Hammond will not play the Mutual
en next Sunday, as stated in yesterday
morning's Examiner, but instead the at
traction will be the t'nion Giants, one
of the best colored teams playing sami
rro ball today.
Only last Sunday the colored boys
lhowed their class when they traveled
to Gary and defeated the fast Steel
City team by the score of 3 to 0. Craw
ford, who -will undoubtedly do the
pitching against Hammond, held the
Gary aggregation to three measly blows
while his r.-.".tes gathered a total of nine
hi's off of F!?h. who wis formerly a
'jr " !th the Chicago Federal league.
However, if Reynolds Is in as pood a
trim on next Sunday as he was against
Camp Custer the Giants will hive their
troubles trying to get on bases much
less score any rum.
Althou'eh Mosul's leaving' the Ham
mond team has crippled the home club
somewhat the locals looked better last
Sunday, when they held Camp Custer
to an eleven Inning tie. than at any
tlm this season. "With Walliser on
second and 'ass. tr new Navy lad. in
left Hammond showed more pep thin
i:ual and looked Tke a much improved
ball club.
Possibly the presence of Fete Hn
r.lnt, who was out in uniform for the
f.rst time this season, had some effect
on the rlayerf. at ar.y ra'e It must
have been something that possessed the
locals as they surely showed more snap

M.Goorty and George Chip ended here
last night in the windup of John Wag
ner's show, MoGoorty had a shade the
best of the milling. Ed's ring general
ship, his cleverness and his punch,
though displayed better in other

the match.
Fd didn't step Into his foe as In
former contents. H allowed his op
ponent to get Fet too often and this
deprived him of winning off by himself,
but there can be no dispute as to who
was h better man.
The closing rounds of the, battle were
Fd's best. In these he took more
chances, shot over his vicious left and
crossed the right, and while they didn't
damage Chip's fighting makeup, they
added points to his lcad.

Piano playing is without beauty when deli
cate shading is lacking. The touch of an artist
brings to life the sweet strains that thrill our be
ing. Manv persons enn nlar the piano after a
fashion that locks tonial beauty. It is because the piano responds to exactly
the touch good, bad or otherwise of the performer. No difference how
splendid the piano, the music will not be charming unless the keys are
struck with artistic touch. Many pianists with years of practice never ac
quire musical touch. Many player pianos are all mechanical because the
makers never studied touch". Tf you w ill listen to the Wilborn Solo-Harp
Player Piano, the thread-bare idea that all player-pianos are mechanical
will vanish.

lAVE TRAP SHOOTING
rSpEiAt, To The Time1
WHITINO. IXD. June 26 On Juns
the Whttlntf Trapshootera dub stag
ed a special event for the "old time"
trapshooters by way of showing special
attention to the veterans of the sport
in this vicinity .
The sport of trapshooting ws first
started under very crude terms In about
the year 1S0 so that as compared with
some other shorts, it i si 111 a com
paratively new game. There are a good
many mn, howi-ver, who have been
trap shooters almost sine., the incep
tion of the sport and wh! many jtre
not as active as foriis.-rlv. there ar
still a large number of real "old timers'
who shoot frequently and a gnat many
more who 6l;oot occasionally.
Gun clubs throughout the country
have planned to s'age an "old timers'
event" this spring. Special prize? of
an attractive and appr. ..r.-late nature
are offered. In the distribution of these
prizes an "old timer" In considered as a
shooter who starter! ehoo'lng at the
traps fifteen or more years ago. A
handsome gold "old timers" lapel but
ton will be awarded the "old timer"
making the high score on the fifty tar
gets in the "old timers' event."
which, however, were cn pivots.
Eddie was too fast for the eastern
middleweight, who played chiefly for the
body. In the clinches Chip tried the
loop the loop punch, without avail. The
visitor was short in his wallops and
missed a few punches that carried great'
force.
There wasn't a great deal of excite
ment In the first three rounds. The
fourth found them in real ac'ion. and
from then cn it was a fairly Interesting1
fight.
George had a peculiar style of walk
ing away from his foe, then turning
hurriedly and letting fly. This shift
bothered Fd. Few staggering wallops
were landed by the mlddlewelgh's. but
those that connected mostly belonged to
McGoorty.
Fight fans of Chicago, Racine and
Milwaukee took advantage of Jchn
Wagner's latft show of the season and
filled the arena, about J2,Ifi! in money
value.
