HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
TO FINISH SCHEDULE
Lowell and Hammond Will
Do Battle on Gridiron
Tomorrow.

Local football enthusias are look
ing forward to two very interesting
games at the coming weeks end. The
Hammond high school win play the
strong Lowell team at Lowell for the
championship of Lake county.
The game involves the championship
only in that Lowell is the only team
in Lake county which Hammond has
not defeated. It is believed that Ham
mond's lineup will be practically in
tact and that it will have no difficulty
in defeating the Lowell team.
So far as can be learned there is no
concerted effort on the part of the stu
dents of the local school to send a gang
of rooters to Lowell. This will be the
last game of very successful season
and the interest in the outcome of the
contest is very great.
The game with Rensselaer,. which
was only tentatively on the schedule,
has been called off for the reason that
there is no advantage to be gained in
playing the team from the Jasper coun-
ty seat.

Members of the Hammond police de-
partment were highly elated today
when it was announced that in the
future the department could use one of
the old G. II. Hammond buildings in
which to hold their target practice.
This insures practice for the winter
The G. II. Hammond people. having
learned from Chief Austgen that such a
place as theirs would be high desir-
able, at once offered them the use OF
one of the vacant rooms in the big
fertilizer building This building is
four stories high and Is 90x175 feet
in its other dimensions. Since the de-
partment has always been shooting a t
80 yards, there will be ample room for
practice Practically no work is neces-
sary to put the fourth floor room in
shape.
The boys did not venture any predic-
tions as to what they would do when
they get their shooting pants on. but
from the way Captain Hanlon spoke

Gary Blind Pig Cases at Crown PIT.
May Result in Startling
Investigation
End FIGHT
BETWEEN
THE TEAMS

The Hammond Athletic association
football team will engage in another
struggle with the Hyde Park Athlet-
ic club on the Harrison park grounds,
Hammond, next Sunday
In view of the fact that Hammond
was defeated by only a small margin
by this team last Sunday, the game
should be a very interesting one. The
Hammond boys will play with all the
spirit that is in them in an effort to
wipe out the sting Of the defeat last
Sunday.
Those who saw the last game say
that it was one of the best contests
that have ever been seen in this city.
This makes it certainty that the
game. which is to be played day after
tomorrow, will be equally interesting
for both teams are sure to try to do
their level best.
Hyde Park saw enough of the Ham
mond team to be imbued with a whole
some respect for it, and Hammond is
still trying to figure out how it was
defeated by this aggregation last sun
day.
The gridiron will be in good shape
for the Sunday game. and as the wealth
er promises to be propitious it is ex-
pected that the game will bring out
the largest crowd that has ever seen
an athletic contest in Hammond.

SORE FOOT BRIGADE
GETS BACK TO CITY
Gus Jacobson Is the "Cham-
peen," Covering the
Distance Easily.

Without pedometers to measure the
distance, six Hammond pedestrians
pedaIed to Whiting and back yester-
day. and their pedal extremities. ac-
cording to all reports, were consider
ably the worse for the experience.
The members of the party were Jas
f. frost. Henry Schneider. William p.
Newman. Henry Lundt, Attorney c. y.
Tinkham and Gus Jacobson. The long
walk. which was, in fact, a hike of
twelve miles, was taken on a dare and
all of the Hammondites who started
proved their nerve BY finishing
The route was north on Holman
street to Gostlin street. west on Cost
lin street to Sheffield avenue and north
on Sheffield avenue to Indiana boule-
ward and thence to Whiting
The day was an ideal one for the
hike and, while the members of the
party were tired out when they re-
turned to Hammond, they enjoyed the
exercises Immensely.
The party was not covered with dust
as might be imagined for the recent
rains had lowered the dust and the
walking was good. In fact. the trip was
such an enjoyable one. in spite of the
distance. that 1t may be attempted
again in the near future
Although the walk was not ped

credit for arriving a the end of the
trip first and Henry Lundt was sec

white elephant on his hands this morn
ing when City Clerk Otto Duelke open

STRANGER APPEARS
AGAINST F. MALO
Board of Public Works Hear
Evidence Against De-
posed Engineer.

A preliminary hearing was given f.
Malo. the suspended engineer of the
Central fire department at the meet
ing of the zoard of public works this
morning. Formal charges were pre-
ferred against the fireman by Chief
Dilschneider. who did not appear in
person before the board. however. Ow-
ing to the absence of Attorney w. ].
McAleer, attorney for Mr.. MaIo, the
case was continued until Saturday
morning. Nov. 27th at 10 a. m. In the
absence of w. J. McAleer. his brother.
Attorney Robert McAleer represented
Mr.. Malo at the preliminary hearing.
City Attorney John A. Gavit conduct
ed the investigation for the city. with
the board OF public works presiding.
One witness. Peter Messit, an old SOL
dier who had been in Hammond about
two months previous to the election.
testified against Mr. Malo. Messit is not
known to the people of Hammond gen
orally. Previous to his residence in the
Old Soldiers Home, Milwaukee, Wis,
and Dayton. O., he had resided in Ham
mond for a time. Messit was put on
his oath and testified that either on
Saturday or Monday night previous to
the election he was sitting in jim
smiths saloon, on Plummer avenue, and
that in political argument there he
overheard Mr. MaIo using language
about Mayor Becker, which is not fit
to print.
He testified that he did not know Mr..
Malo personally, but that he recognized
his face. After few formel questions
by Attorney McAleer, the investigation
ended there for the time being.
Mr.. Malo seemed greatly surprised
at the charges from this source. Il
do not know this man. Messit, don't
remember having ever seen him, nor
was I in Jim Smiths saloon at any
time that he mentions"
Among Mr.. GIalo's friends, too,
there was surprise that the board of
public works and the chief of the fire
department after having cited alleged
facts, such as Mr.. Malos activity on
election day and abusive language to-
ward #. c. Miller. that many prac-
tically unknown to the people of Ham
! mond and not representative man OF
the city should be permitted to testify
against Mr.. Malo.

with the outcome of these cases, and
that he will call special session Of
the grand jury to re-indict the blind
pig proprietors and Will employ spe-

EVIDENCE STRONG.
The evidence against the operators Of
Gary blind pigs is so strong that they
know very we'll that If their cases
came to trial they would be convicted.
The happy" discovery on the part OF
the attorneys representing the saloon
keepers that the affdavits charged the
defendants with selling, giving or bar
