Game Is a Tie.

The football game Saturday between
the Crown Point high school football
team and the East Chicago Psi Mus
resulted in a tie, neither team being
able to score Crown Points goal was
threatened many times, but they braced
up on their twenty-yard line and re-
peatedly held their heavier opponents
for downs The East Chicago aggregra-
tion weighed about fifteen pounds
heavier to a man than the local team.
Owing to the inability of Ralph Young.
Crown Points crack fullback, to finish
the game, he being retired in the last
half. the local team were placed at
great disadvantage and the probability
of their scoring was appreciably les
sened. Crown Point high win play
the Chicago Heights high school team
at their grounds near the old fair
grounds on next Saturday.
The warm pleasant weather of yes
terday brought large crowd of auto

streets of Crown Point were dotted
with the machines yesterday. Also the
local enthusiasts took advantage of the

Gary, Hammond and Lowell on pleasure

The B. T. baseball team of Chicago
failed to make an appearance yester-
day and no game was played at the
local grounds in consequence. The
Crown Point team have no future
games scheduled and in all probability
their season for 1908 is closed. The
team has played a good article of ball

have furnished amusement for many a
Crown Point fan, who hope they will
organize again for the 1903 season.
