The Father of Odessa.

A French emigre was the father
of Odessa in Russia. He was the Due
de Richelieu of the line of the IA
nous cardinal, who left France in
the troublous days of the revolution
and entered the Russian service. He
was the governor of Odessa Just a
century ago. He found 1t little better
than a fishing village and left 1t as
It was developing into fiourishing
seaport. In 1914, when the mon
archy was restored, the Due de Rich
elieu returned to his native land and
became one of Louis XVIII.'s minis
ters. He died in 1921. In Odessa a
statue Is erected to his memory.

The horsemen objected to paying any
entrance fee, some of them going to the
extent of absolutely refusing to start

are considered IS good by the Ham
mond fans. Crown Point is the only
team in the Calumet region that has de-
feated the Hammonds and that was due
to the fact that the Hammond team
played ragged ball.
The Hammonds will leave on the
Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend
line Sunday morning. The fare will be
las for the round trip.
1t is probable that the Hammonds
will play all their games al home next
year and will erect as nice a bail park
as Hammond has had since the Hub
bard park was abandoned. Though the
location of the park is not yet known
it is likely that it will be located on
the north side.
This team will represent Hammond
and with the players that are expected
to be in the lineup for next season it is
safe to say that the Hammond team
will easily trim UP all teams who will
book games with them for the follow
ing season.
