PUG IS SORRY
FOR THE POOR CAR
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind, Oct 22.-WhiIe

ing arrested for running his automo-
bile above the speed limit, Stanley
Ketchel gets advertisement by buying

proclaims that nothing short of $780,

Hammond has a prize fighter that can
give all these gentlemen and their
press agents cards and spades and
beat them in the advertising line.
The only trouble with the Hammond
pug is that he forgot to leave his name
and address Wednesday night when
he attempted TO buck car sos of the
Red line off the track at Columbia ave
nue. and 15Oth street
At about s o'clock on the evening
mentioned this fearless gent emerged
from Bass saloon on 150th street and
waited for a car to Hammond. 1t was
raining pretty hard and when car sos
came along on its way to Hammond
the unknown attempted to cross in
front of it, thinking the car was a
block away when in reality it was
right on top of him. The car was go
ing at a high rate of speed and when
the man stepped in front of it, the
motorman yelled and put on the brake
But it was too late. The fender hit
the puglist in the leg and threw him
up against the front of the car, which
IN its turn landed him on the side OF
the track. The car crew and the doz-
en- pass engers got out to assist in
picking up the pieces, but nothing OF
the kind was necessary Instead the
| man was standing there looking for
his hat, which he earnestly requested
the passengers to help him find. Ar
investigation of the front of the cal
revealed a hole six inches deep and 6
fot long. The prize fighter was un.
| harmed but said he felt sorry for the
| damage he had done the car
| A man in the crowd identified the
man who knocked the hole in the cal
as Hammond prize fighter. but die
