as popular a sport as basketball, and
all the team needs Is a little encour-
agement. While the Hammond Athlet-
ic club is appealing to the people Of
Hammond for support they do not want
the general public to look upon their
appeal as a matter of charity.
The game viii be worth the candle.
and it would be hard to secure a more
enjoyable evenings entertainment in
any other manner. The boys will deliv-
er the goods and the game tonight
and the one on Sunday afternoon viii
be worth the price of admission.
SfIverman win Play.
The members of the Hammond Athlet-
ic club announce that they have Sc
cured the services of Tackle Silver
man Of the Fort Sheridan football
team, who is on furlough, and this
should greatly strengthen the locals.
A football game has been scheduled
with Michigan City for week from
Saturday. and it is expected that the
team will have another important game
scheduled with South Bend for two
weeks from Saturday.
This makes it apparent that the
athletic calendar of the Hammond
Athletic club for the next few weeks
is pretty well filled and that there
will be plenty of amusement of this
kind provided for the people of Ham
mond.

CROWDED HOUSE SEES WARM
BURLESQUE SHOW At TOWLES

Bachelors and benedicts, old and
young. business men and factory en-
ployes all crowded into Towle's Op-
era House last night to see the Gay
Morning Glories," and the reception
that the girls OF the world of rouge,
powder and short skirts received was
conservatively speaking, enthusiastic.
If the occasion had been pugilistic
carnival the crowd might have been
typical one. There was not a woman in
the house, and 1t is we'll that there was
not. for at times the Jokes" were so
coarse and suggestive that even among
the uninitiated there were glances ask
anee and many could not believe their
ears
It seemed as thought the word had
been given, Go as far as you like"
and the comedians went the limit SEN
sation after sensation was sprung, and
even the wise old wags about the city
looked at each other in establishment at
what was said.
Show Well Equipped.
The show itself. barring the sugges-
tive dialogue. was one of the best of
the sort that has ever come to the
city. The chorus was fair, the ballet
was composed OF pretty girls and the
costufAes were new and attractive.
But bis was all neutralized by the
libertiesAthat were taken with the au-
dience by the comedians. At times the
lines were so coarsely vulgar that it
was a surprise that the chorus girls.
if they had any womanhood about them
a all, did not show a flush of resent
ment clear through the layers of grease
paint.
A show of the character Of that which
appeared in Hammond last night would
have been stopped by the police in Chi
cago Here the performance was over
before the police could interfere and
the show left town with the revolving
impression it left still deeply imprint
ed on the minds of the men and boys
who saw it.
What the People Want
The management of the house can
not be blamed. for the reason that
the element wants burlesque. the more
suggestive the better, and it has proven
that its best" people will not patron
lie high class attractions when they
come.

VICIOUS
ASSAULT
ON WOMAN
Gary Police Keep Dark the
Facts Concerning Attack
by Negroes on Mrs. Mar
tina Miller, Candy Store
Proprietor.

Mrs. Martha Miller. the proprietor of
the school children's candy store at
Sixteenth avenue and Massachusetts,
streets, was viciously attacked in her
place of business Monday afternoon by
two negroes. The men, after buying two
cigars, grabbed the woman and at
tempted to drug her with a saturated
handkerchief but foreigner, passing
by at the time. who saw the attempted
crime, frightened them away
The police were notified of the at
tempted attack. but have not made the
matter public. Since Monday they have
brought four negroes into Mrs. AIilIer's
place for identification. but neither of
the suspects proved to be the right one.
Was Brutal Attack.
The affair Monday was the most bru-
tai that has occurred in the south end
for some time. The men walked into
the store about 1 o'clock and bought
two cigars. One OF them asked for cred
it on the goods and they were then
told that she did not give credit. In
response they grabbed her, and while
one of the men held her the other drew
from his pocket a handkerchief, which
he attempted to bind across her mouth.
The cloth had been soaked with a drug
of some character, which dazed her
and from which she has not entirely re-
covered at the present time. No 9th
er injury was inflicted in the struggle,
except bruise on her head.
The attack of the negroes is but an
other indication of the presence of a
vicious element which has been allowed
to remain about this city. due to the
presence of such ring leaders as John
son. jackson and Piper. This charac-
ter Of men are the ones that have been
menacing the safety of every decent
men, women and children in the south
end. as John Brennan stated in his
speech at the Binzenhof hall Saturday
night.
This crime only came to the notice of
this paper BY accident. as the police
had no report Of the matter on fle
which the reporters were allowed to
see. It is only a matter Of conjecture
how many other crimes Of a like char
acter they have attempted to conceal

up for the small size of the crowd
and when the receipts were counted

been taken in. This sum is considered
