FIGHT FANS TURN
INTO PICKPOCKETS
West Hammond Invaded by
Chicago Thugs and
Holdup Men.

West Hammond and Hammond were
infested with pickpockets last night
as result of the invasion of the city
by large number of hight fans. Frank
Green caught a man, red-handed. in
the act of taking his pocketbook and
S3S in cash.
He grabbed the fellow and called
for the police. The officers arrested
the man, who gave his name as viii
liam Mills. but his pals came out from
Chicago and reimbursed Mr.. Green for
the money he had lost and the West
Hammond business man refused to
prosecute the case
The police made complaint. however
and William Mills, the man who was
caught picking Mr.. Green's pocket. was
fined $40. This crook was accompanied
by several confederates to whom
Green's pocketbook was passed after it
was stolen from his pocket.
Thief Gets OF Easily.
It is believed that these confederates
are the ones who put up the money to
reimburse Green and in this manner
secured the release of the leader of the
pocketpicking gang and his dismissal
from court after he had been fined the
minimum amount of $40 and costs.
Many of the proters of the West
Hammond athletic contests are of the
opinion that Mills should have been
given the limit of the law as a warning
to other pickpockets who might at
tempt TO operate in West Hammond
and bring the town into dlsrepule.
Several Hammond men have reported
the loss Of their pocketbooks to their
friends after a visit to West Hammond
and it has actually become dangerous
to make the trip there with any amount
Of money on ones person.
It is understood that in addition to
Frank Green, several South Chicago
men lost various sum of money last
night They claim to have lost the
money on the way from the fight to the
street car

blooming red, or grass green. sheet
comes out from Chicago claiming to be
the biggest sporting extra in the world
and the sun and moon included. and
then containing only four or five in
nings, just enough to boost the low
ing and faithful fan higher than ever
on! IL is easy to see him soar and
sore
But this old world has advanced a
whole lot in last three years and ac-
commodate that were good enough then
are too slow now. But THE TIMES is
up to the times. and. therefore. the wise
ian appreciating this. THE TINES snort
ing extra is more popular than ever
IN twenty-four hours its circulation
was increased by just 100 additional
copies over the previous night.
The Hammond baseball fans NAV
rely on it that when inventions will
make 1T possible for the absent fan to
hear the crack of the bat and the
umpire say, Strike one strike two.
strike three, yare out" that THE TINES
will add this feature if it happens in
any way possible to connect it with
the newspaper. And you may be sure
