attend the opening session of the
Northern Indiana N. E. conference,
this evening. Each will present a re-
port of his charge to the conference.
The report of Rev. T. NJ. Guild. pre-
siding elder, is probably the most I'M
portant. as it shows the progress of
the work in the district. 1t reviews
the work of the past year. both in a
financial way and from the spiritual
aspect.
One of the most interesting parts of
his report is the reference to the defeat
of the drys in the County Local Option
fight in this county. He states that
the wet spots of Indiana will soon be
dry and charges Methodists to do their
duty.

the support the game has seen here
in the past This should prove espec-
tally true since Hamilton has the
strongest and the bes: team in its ca
reer at the present time.
The fans should bear it in mind that
Hamilton's chances for the big league
next year rest with the crowds that
turn out this season. The proposed
league of next year will be one of the
strongest in this section and this city
should not pass up its chances SO cas-
lily. A league team in Hamilton next
year will do the city more good than
any other winter indoor sport. Ham
ilton can have d franchise ii it sup
ports its present team and the pro-
moters cannot be blamed If they pass
up this city next year because this
years attendance was light.
1t has cost much to bring a team
here and it is earnestly hoped that the
public will show it's appreciation in
the future in a better form than it has
in the past.

Hamilton Has Fast Team
But Is Given Poor Support

The Hamilton club in the Indiana
Ohio polo league has not been a pay
ing proposition. The Hamilton Repub-
lican-News says:
Good sport, but poor crowds.
That's the polo situation in HAM
ilton.
Ever since the sport has been re-
established or since an attempt was
made to re-establish the game here,
the local five has put up the best
brand of polo. It is doubtful whether
better polo is played in the Middle
West than the kind that has been
pulled off at the Coliseum. Hamilton
has one of the best clubs in Ohio and
Indiana League and it's record within
the last week shows it such.
But the efforts of Manager Sewe!l
have not borne the proper kind Of
fruit. The local crowds have been
very small and the frosty attendance
is causing much comment. 1t certain
ly seems that Hamilton should be able
to support polo team, Judging from

conduct on the last car out of this city
last Saturday night. 1t Is the result
of one Of the most disgraceful fights
ever taking place on the company's

night and went into the smoking de-

started.

The New Paris faction started trou.

Tense was trivial, but as the men had
accumulated larger jags than was wise
for them to carry, the row became Sc
rious. Loud talk and swearing result
ed in one of the Eaton men going after
New Paris resident. The New Paris
man was knocked ON the head with a
beer bottle an dalmost dazed. Just as
he was recovering his composure and
was about to renew his fight, another
New Paris man welding beer bottle
landed on the Eaton man, giving him
the count.
The different crowds were just about
to get into a free-for-all when the con-
ductor and sober persons seated in the
other department of the car. went into
the smoker. A Preble county deputy
sheriff was in for arresting the whole
bunch. However. the conductor would
not permit such action, claiming that
the car was still in Indiana. Trouble
was stopped after the conductor, car.

in the hearts of the disturbers to keeI
