With victory over all the high
schools of Northern Indiana in track
and field athletics to their credit and
with Edwin Friedericks the Hammond
representative in the defamation con-
test. tied for first place the high school
studens this morning gave way to an
enthusiastic demonstration in honor
of their heroes.
The only thing that Hammond did
not win was the relay race and in view
of the sweeping nature of their victory
in the other contests of he day he loss
of the relay banner this year is scarcely
regretted.
When Hammond won the Northern
Indiana track and field meet last year
it was vaguely limited in some quarters
that it was because the meet vas held
in Hammond. This insinuation was un-
fair as was shown by the splendid
showing the boys made in the enemy
territory last Saturday.
Trip Was Fine One.
Those who made the trip to South
Bend were more than compensated for
the expense and trouble The trip by
interurban was delightful one and
the city of South Bend is such an at
streets, beautiful public buildings and
delightful environments that the
journey was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who took it,
A comfortable grand stand was pro-
vided for the spectators, and while the
track was slow it was fairly good The
Hammond boys were confident from
the start. If esprit de corps counts for
anything Hammond had plenty of it. Il
was a case of do or die with them.
Probably the most remarkable event
of the meet was the hammer throwing
J of Fritz Ebert who broke the Northern
Indiana field record in this event BY
over six feet. His competitors simply
gasped when he sent the hammer clear
! out over the head of the marker.
Kennedy May Get Gold Medal.
While Kennedy won the 22Oyart

event was game one and he lost thirt
place by only a narrow margin. AS h

"Of course, I intend to claim the

The game was an interesting one ali

fact that the U. S. Metals boys have
had but little practice, the showing
they made was good.

the board Is without power to hear the

Forbes Plans Trip from St. Louis
to Labrador.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 15.-"It is the
sport of kingsl" enthusiastically de-
clared A. Holland Forbes, vice-presi-
dent of the Aero Club of America. as
he alighted from a Pennsylvania train
with fresh laureis for having beaten
the worlds speed record for balloons
and winning the Lahm prize.
Why shouldn't we feel gratified?" in
quired Mr.. Forbes. Our feat is unpar-
alleled. and 1 believe 1t will hold tfe
record for many a day. We sustained
a speed of thirty-eight miles an hour
over a distance of 734A miles. This Is
faster time than is made by the aver
g railroad express train"
Mr.. Forbes said he could have gone
twice as far had there been land ahead
of them. Through the haze hat huns
between his balloon, at an elevation OF
nearly 5000 feet he misrook the wide
James river for the sea at Norfolk.
They did not care to risk themselves
out at sea. and so they landed In a
twenty miles from Richmond.
Mr.. Forbes said he and Max Fleisch-
man, of Cincinnati. his companion, had
hoped to dash cross the Great Lakes
into Canada and go ever as far as
Labrador, but that the winds were un-
favorable.
But We'll do that some day soon,'
he declared. ITO. make that trip we
shall nave to go more than 1.5O0 miles
