WORLDS CHAMPIONS
TO PLAY HERE
Schaefer and Sutton Booked
by Nee to Give Exhi-
bition Game.
IN HIS NEW BILLIARD ROOMS
Date Not Yet Set, But it VIII Be
After 49, Championship is
Settled.

Jacob Schaefer, the worlds champ
ion 1s.1 bake line billiard player, and
George sutton, who recently defended
MS title in the fs.1 bake line game
will actually appear in Hammond some
time after their championship match
In December, when Schaefer will de-
fend his title to the championship at
the Isl balke line. The players will
give an exhibition game at the Ma
tional Billiard rooms where they Will
show the followers of the sport In this
city the fine points in the game
Hammond will have a chance to wit
ness for the first time in its history
two we'll known cue experts in action
on the billiard table. The popularity
of the game has increased by leaps
and bounds in this city until at the
present time we have as good halls as
can be found anywhere in Chicago.
The interest has increased to such an
extent that 1t will warrant the bring
| ing to this city the best that there is in
the country to boost the quality of the
playing. It will be a treat that will
be enjoyed by hundreds who are more
or less versed in the science.
Wait for Championship Game.
| It was thought by Proprietor Will
/ Nee Of the National parlor, that he
would be able to secure the champions
before their match. but they finally de-
cided that it would be best not to COM
| pete even in an exhibition match before
their crucial contest next month. Both
are now practicing hard for the event
and Schaefer feels confident that he
! Is the superior of Sutton in this style
Of play. although the latter beat
Schaefer decsively in the 1872 game
Still greater interest viii be taken in
this event by the young men of this
city because OF the fact that they viii
appear in Hammond shortly after
If Mr. Nee had been willing he could
have secured Schaefer and Al Taylor
to compete here some time next week
but he is not satisfied to have any one
but the best in the world, and was
lwilling TO walt until it would be con
Ivenient for them TO get here Taylor
however, is a splendid player. ant
would have made it interesting fo1
any Of the first class men. He ha.
gained no little celebrity in Chicago
in the past few days and would hav,
been willing TO come to this city fot
an evening.

GOOD GAME
FOR TOMORROW
Suspected Vobisch Stars
Who Meet Iroquois Were
Here Before.
BUT UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME
Chicago Championship To Be De.
cided Nov. "a, Between Locals
and First Regiment.

Weather indications point to the
probability of an ideal day tomorrow
for the football game at Harrison
Park where the Vobisch Stars of Chi
cago will meet the Iroquois eleven at
Harrison Park Although this is not
a league team they are known to be
strong and it is thought likely that by
some that they are the same boys
that played here last Sunday under an
assumed name and gave the locals such
a hard rub. The Iroquoise are taking
no chances however. and are prepared
to show them UP If this is the ruse
they are planning.
The big game OF the year lucky
enough has been secured for Hammond
and will be played off at Harrison
field. A week from tomorrow This
game will be for the championship Of
the city of Chicago and promises to be
the best thing of its kind ever wit
messed in the city.
Both teams are working hard with
the premier honors of the city in view
and will let no chance escape them to
land at the top of the ladder The
First Regiment team and Hammond
are the only teams that still remain
i
feated. 1t is understood that the Chi
cago boys have added several new
! players to their squad and are pre-
pared TO put up the fight of their
/ lives for the premier honors. The
teams are about an even weight and
both as fast as any team in the city
a great game is expected. The First
Regiment boys are expected in the city
early in the morning to rest up for the
contest. If they do not arrive here by
|1:15 the game will be forfeited TO Ham
mond. This will insure the big game
starting on time so that the roOteT.
will not have all Of the enthusiasm
frozen out of them before the confess
begins.
Next Thanksgiving. the warrior.
from the sand dunes of Gary viii b.
given chance to see how they ranl
with a championship aggregation
Turkey day games always drew huge
crowds and the rivalry between the tw,
cities Will lend additional interest I,
the contest. All season Gary has beer
clamoring for a chance To take it 81
on the undefeated locals and now the.
viii realize their desire. 1t is sai'
that they are wading knee deep eacl
evening in the sand in practice to e
in shape for the biggest contest OF
their schedule. The Indians" at tn
present time are not fearing the stee
town aggregation. although they real
ize that they have some good men.

HAVE FUN WITH
ATTORNEY BOMBERGER

l. L. Bomberger. who is responsible
for stirring up the question of the
validity OF marriages performed on IL
censes issues in Hammond. through his
opinion that Hammond had no right TO
issue licenses. IS being made the sub
Ject OF good natured raillery on the part
Of his friends. His own marriage was
performed on a license issued in this
city. Mr.. Bomberger. however, does not
60 50 far as 10 maintain that the
iliegaiity of the issuing Of Hammond
licenses. invalidates the marriage on
the other hand he is of a very decided
contrary opinion. This. however. makes
no difference with his friends who
laughingly insist that IL viii be neces-
sary to have the whole ceremony re-
enacted.

mile east of here last night at Lake.
Vile. and plunging down the embanx-
ment. plowed into a cornfield, injuring
four of the crew and shaking up tho
passengers. Luckily the coaches flled
with sleepers did not overturn or the
casualties would have reached large
figure. Every car excepting the diner
on the rear left the rails.
The train which IS due at Hammond
shortly after o'clock and in Chicago
at 9:45 was late and the engineer was
making UP time. While passing
through Lakeville broken rail threw
the engine of the track and the
coaches followed suit, until brought up
in the cornfield. The banking was not
| high at this place or they would have
overturned.
Among the injured were: Conductor
Anderson, John Tavring. Engineer
Frank Hoose. fireman and VIM. Nelson,
a section hand. All the passengers
were thrown into a panic and severaly
shaken up besides suffering from the
cold.
A brakeman walked to LaPorte
where the wreck was reported and re-
lief was asked from Chicago and other
places. Relief trains were made up at
Chicago and at Landers, Ind. and
hurried to the scene.
The injured men were taken to Chi
cago and the passengers were later
forewarded to their destinations. The
wrecking crew were at work until this
morning before the coaches and engine
were replaced upon the track and the
wreckage cleared away. The train is
one of the finest on the road and runs
from New York and Boston.

Fourth to Locate Here.

The new concern Is In section seven
teen, township thirty-six. and is near
Lake station The other concerns
which have located in this vicinity are
the American Car and Foundry com
pany, the American Tube Works and
the American Bridge company.
The locating of this. the fourth con-
Germ. will give realty values in this
vicinity a great boost and it is expected
that in the future Gary will develope
rapidly towards the west as well as
along Broadway to the south.
Fifty acres of land have been pur-
chased near the Michigan Central
railroad and along the Joliet and
Northern Belt Line and the Liquid
Tank and Freight Car company has
the option on 100 acres more which
may be purchased at any time during
the next three years.
The locating OF this company at this
time when there has been apprehension
on the part of great many people as
to the possibility OF hard times, ha.
! had a reassuring effect and many in
vestors have taken this as the best in
dication that the fnanciers of the
country believe the stringency in the
money market will be only of short
duration.
