vate Park.
GAME INTEREST GROWS
Two Dozen Enthusiasts Enter the
Tennis Lists For Future
Events.

The Hammond Lawn Tennis club is
making satisfactory progress with the
work of preparing courts for the club.
Several sites were considered. One was
on Webb street. fronting Harrison park.
on a couple of vacant lots. and another
location, which was considered, was
near Glendale.
The club finally decided 10 avail
themselves of an offer of w. B. Con-
key for grounds in Conkey park. These
grounds are not as accessible to the
majority of the members of the club
as the others, but they will require very
little expense for their Improvement.
The members of the club propose to
begin the work of improving the courts
right away and expect to have them in
good shape IN a few weeks.
There are a large number of tennis
enthusiasts and several years ago, when
the game became very popular here,
there were a number of expert players.
The following are the names of those
who have signified their intention of
becoming members of the new club:

Crumpacker of Indiana probably would
be named in the resolution as one of
the house conferees. The house, under
standing that Payne and the president
are working together, would ride
roughshod over Speaker Cannon and
adopt the resolution, turning off of
the conference committee the high
tariff men with whom it was packed
by the speaker.
Representative Crumpacker, who, as
a members of the ways and means
committee, feels a peculiar interest in
tariff revision downward, is encourag-
ing Chairman Payne to stand by his
guns. Mr.. Payne, in fact, need no en-
oouragement. as he is full of fight.
and he promises to become one of the
real heroes of tariff revision. He is
receiving many assurances of support
from congressman.
All you need now is backbone,
said one representative to him today
Don't worry about me. I've got
plenty of backbone was the curt reply

the powerful little launch made rapid
Roadway toward the floating object, al
though at times it appeared as If the
lifeboat would be capsized in the white

they were evidently in distress, al
though they were approaching the

In about five minutes the lifeboat had

the annual affair Of the Indiana Demo-

than 200 prominent democrats from over
the state were present
During the speechmaking John w.
Kern nominated Governor Marshall for
president in 1912. Kern paid the gov
ernor a high tribute and predicted that
he will be the man to lead the party
during the next national campaign.
Kerns speech elected uproarious ap-
plause that lasted several minutes,
clearly defining the attitude Of the
Indiana democracy toward Marshall.
During all of the time since the talk
began about Marshall as a candidate
for president he has kept quiet and
| said nothing in public about the matter.
He has said that he could not see that
there was anything for him to say on
the subject. No one had asked him to
be a candidate, he said, and he was not
