point of the chin. O'Brien toppled
backward, and when his head struck
the floor 1t bounced several inches and
then settled back into the rosin dust
Several hundred people who have been
waiting for just such a thing to happen
for more years than they can remember
stood up to howl their approval, and
just as the cheering reached its oil
max the bang Of the bell cut short
through the steady roar and O'Brien
was saved from a technical knockout

Whiting. Ind. March 27-The an
nual preliminary oratorical contest of
the Whiting high school took place last
evening in the high school auditorium
which was filed with one of the most
enthusiastic gatherings OF persons
which has ever congregated in this
building.
The contest was predicted to be the
hardest fought of any previous ever
held here, and this is proved to be as
the six young people who strove for
the honor of representing their high
school at the county contest, on April
Is. AL brought for the hearty appre-
citation of those present and covered
themselves with glory.
W. B. Smith Gets Gold Medal.
The final decision of the judges
awarded to Walter H. Smith the gold
medal. and to Benjamin H. Gordon the
silver medal he gaining second place
The decisions met with the hearty ap-
prevail of all.
The program opened with an over
ture. Wedding Of the Winds" by the
high school orchestra, which put every
one in good spirits.
This was followed by an grafton,

".
This Grafton was full of the benefits
reaped from Industrial education and
on thought and composition the judges
gave Miss Campbell five marks and
nth place in delivery.
Grafton by Claude Humphreys.
Following Miss Campbell was an
Grafton. Peril of Lawlessness," by
Claude Humphreys. o. This subject
was well handled, and won for the
young man third place.
The next number was Wandering
in Woodlands, a chorus by the class
of 1912
Lester Aronberg. 10, appeared next
In The Awakening of India" The re-
ward for his efforts in the oratorioal
line were excellent marks in thought
and composition and much praise from
the people for the good work he did.
Miss Mary Lee Morrison. '0s, next ap-
peared in her Grafton The Melting
Pot" which was a most difficult sub
ject, but which was worked up to good
advantage. The delivery was excep-
tionally good and many said that Miss
Morrison, although one of our leading
young elocutionists, never did better.

After Mr.. Smith came BENJAMIN H.
Gordon, '09. in his plea against child
labor in the Grafton, The Grinding of

way moved every person in the audi

against this subject which dealt with
children six, seven and eight years old
being employed in mills and factories.
So good was his thought, composition
and delivery that he was only defeated
by two points.
Awaiting the decision of the judges
the high school orchestra gave several
selections. The medals were then pre-
sented by Charles A. Klose, president
or the board of education, and settled
a long discussed point. The only regret
as many said, was that there was not a
medal for every one who had competed
as all were deserving of some reward

The first battle of the hop-skip-and-

Of an outlaw" baseball player for
three years, was reinstated by the ma
tional commission yesterday. That is.
there is little formality of 800 fine that

CAP sent a check to Chairman Car

Actor Callahan was given his re-
alease by President Comiskey of the
White Sox at the recent meeting of
the American and National leagues in
Chicago, but the release did not carry
with 1t the right for Callahan to en-
gage in organized baseball until the
national commission had disciplined
him for falling to report to the White
Sox
Obtaining his reinstatement yester-
day gives Callahan permission to play
in tomorrows game with the Green

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WIN
THE CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
Baptist Athletic Club Team Puts Up Strong Game in
Hammond Athletic Cubrooms, But Fin
ally Go Down to Defeat.

Before an enthusiastic crowd OF root
ers. representing both the Baptist Ath-
lettc league and the Hammond high
school, the Ave representing the latter
won the city championship by the score
OF "a to 81. and clearly demonstrated
their superiority over the older players
on the Baptists' team.
The house was about evenly divided
in its sympathies and when the high
school would make a goal there would
be ringing cheer, which was enthus-
iastically duplicated when the Baptists
were able to score.
For only one brief period during the
game was the team representing the
hard shells ahead in the score but
the high school boys soon recovered
their lead and held IT to the close Of
the game.
Game Was Rough.
At the end OF the first half the score
stood IA to -. The game Is said to
have been the most furious that has
ever been seen on a Hammond basket
ball floor The high school boys say
their rough game is INDICATED by the
fact that they would not have stood a
ghost of a show against the heavier
and rougher Baptists If they had not
been intimately acquainted with that
kind of a game.
The team work of the high school
was the best, although occasionally the
Baptists would pull off little passing
stunt that APPARENTLY bewildered the
students and made them scamper to
hunt up the men they were guarding.
The game was not as interesting as
it would have been had there been, at
any time. a question as to the result,
but 1t was apparent to the close student

STATE LINE STARS WIN
First Home Run of the
Season Takes Place in
Hammond Yesterday.

The State Line Stars defeated the
West Hammond Lilies in q close nine
inning baseball game yesterday after
noon at the state line grounds by a
score OF to 8.
The feature Of the game was the
home run made by A Yeager in the
seventh inning. Three men on bases
and Yeager to bat means a great deal
for the West Hammond Lilies and in
this case it meant four runs This
tied the score and it remained tied IN
til the State Line Stars were up for
their last bats, when Ben Vess, second
Joe Tinker and star player for the
State Line Stars. made a clean hit for
home run and won the game.

of the game that the high school boys
were the best players and, barring &C.

The Baptists objected to the manner
in which the high school boys took out
time In the game. They say that no
sooner would the Baptists start to
scoring than the high school boys
would take time out. One time Sum
mers claimed to have injured his finger
and they maintain that was only an
excuse for delay.

they only took out time twice, and that
