Well Pleased With Field Meet.

Gary is we'll pleased with the re-
suits Of the field meet at Crown Point
Saturday when she finished ahead of
the older schools, Whiting and East
Chicago, on the first day that they were
entered. The school was represented
by four sturdy athletes who promise
to make it interesting for the other
schools in the meet in years to come.
Lyman, the Gary pole vaulter, who
was booked to win his event made good
In easy fashion at height far below
what he could have made If he had
been pressed. AS it was, he had a
walkaway. The team only secured six
points, but wait till next year. About
dozen rooters accompanied the team
to the county seat.
Several more of the automobiles of
the Gary Toleston Garage company, ar
rived in Gary Saturday and today, and
will be put in operation on the Crown
Point line at once. The service to Ham
mond and the county seat will no doubt
prove popular. ~

went to Jackson, Mich, yesterday af-
ternoon on business.
| Fort the first time Saturday the
reads south of Gary were passable so
that those who desired to drive to
Crown Point to attend the field meet
could do SO. Automobile traffic, how
ever, was barred because of the small
ness of the wheels, which would not
permit them to get through the mud
underneath the water. Today, how
ever, it is expected that there will be
no difficulty encountered in getting
past the river Among those who drove
to Crown Point Saturday to attend the
meet were: Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas F.
Knots and Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Mar
tin.
The clearness of the sky and the
balmy atmosphere last night caused
much indulgence in the Joy water
and as a consequence nearly two dozen

police station. From early in the even
ing until early in the morning the po-
lice were kept busy bringing In the
wayward.
Mr.. Edward KIopf. the former Gary
sergeant, is suffering with an affection
to the foot which resembles blood
poisoning. The trouble has seriously
handicapped him in his duties as
Marshal of Miller, but it is thought that
he will recover in few days.
Mr.. Arthur Mayhak of Miller and
Walter Coler, members of the Hobart
high school, passed through Gary Sat
urday enroute to Crown Point where
the yrooted for Hobart in the track
meet.
