longing to Harry Warren. A fire, which
had been started to burn off some brush
on the land near where the hives were
located, got beyond control and it took
but little time before the entire api nv
was destroyed. The loss of hives,
stands and the crop of honey that would
have been harvested from this colony
this fall is estimated at $1,000.

to last fall when we discovered in

mourned. Girls are getting out sta
tionery now bearing the motto; 1.-TWO

Hammond yet. Martin Finneran has
found out that it pays to stand in with
the Polish brethren; Martin ought to
aim higher and go after some of the
things that the big bugs in Cook coun-
ty seem to have sewed up. MIR. Robert
Parker, the bank wrecker who went
through Hammond yesterday on his
way to prison, was sad lesson for
the get-rich-quick people. The time is
almost here when no more factories
CAN close up in Hammond In other
words, there are not many more to

game between Chicago and Cleveland
began at 8 p. m. 1t really ended at
$40 p. m. at which time Chicago had
amassed three runs. The two teams
went through the formality of play

the crowd it's moneys worth, for
there was one grand crowd present, far
too large to be disappointed altogether.
But while Chicago added one run to
those secured in the first inning, and
Cleveland one less, the score being 4
to o, there were lots of spectacular
stunts pulled off in fielding way, and

Coach Stage of the University of Chi

clock to compete in the Penn games
Saturday. At the last moment the Ma
room coach decided to take Maddigan
and Steffen to compete in the individual
events. Jacobs, however, will not take
the trip on account of his college work,
although selected by Stage.
The announcement that Steffen would
go East with the relay squad came as
a surprise to the Midway fans, as the
little hurdler had not done special
training for the Quaker meet. Steffen's
trials over the high sticks yesterday
were the best he has done since he
entered the university. and Stage de-
cided to take him along.
