the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line heard that he was about to apply
for a franchise over this route and

The Gary & Interurban line wants an

only route it could get is through the

are allowed and spend their time and
money in gambling. The pool table af-
fords a good opportunity for the gamb-
ling proclivities in the young. Kelly
pool Is entirely a game of gambling,
while the green table also is handy for
crap game.
FIRST TRAP FOR ENWARY.
The history of some young fellows
In Hammond has shown that the pool
rooms have ben their perdition. They
first came there only occasionally and
finally became regular visitors The
habit grew on them until they finally
spent all their money in the places,
with the result that they were always
broke until they iEally had 20 cast
round for some means OF getting more
spending money. In this way more than
one has ben put on the road to petty
! thievery and finally burglary.
GAMBLING PERMITTED.
II is matter of common knowledge
/ that a number of Hammond poolrooms
are too losely condu cted. that the pro-
prietors are permitting boys under age
to congregate there. not only 70 play
regulation pool and billiards. but to
| carry on crap games and betting on all
manne of chances.

PERMITTED
Certain Hammond Poolroom
Permits Illegal Games
to Be Carried On.

Minors must stay out of pool
rooms in Hammond. These are not
only standing instructions to the
police from Chief Austgen, but
have recently been impressed on
the officers.
Chief Austgen realizes that poole
rooms, especially thus loosely con ~
Quoted, are breeding places for vice al :,
crime for the youth Of the city. and VI
is with this view that he insists that
minors must stay away.
STATE LAW PREVENTS.
Chief Austgen is not a fanatic on the
subject realizing that boys want a
place where they can congregate to
spend a few hours, but there is first
OF all the state Law, which prohibits
MINORS in the poolrooTns, and secondly.

Superbas Win TweIve-Inning
Battle from PittSburu,

Pittsburg May 12.-The Brooklyn Su-
perbas forced the worlds champions into
their first extra inning game of tie season
to-day, and won a terrific hitting twelve
inning battle by score of II to 8. Long
way for the three runs in the final frame
which spelled defeat for the Pirates
Thirty-four hits were divided UP between
the two teams, each sharing equally with
seventeen apiece. The home nine made
three errors, Wagner and Miller being the
two offenders, while Brooklyn made two.
The Superbas did the hardest hitting, get
ting seven wo-baggers and one triple.
Hummeli carried off the hitting honors of
the day with his triple, a double and three
singles, while Wheat was a close second
with three two-baggers. Both Daubert and
Davidson made three hits apiece each get
ting one double.
Rucker and Camnitz started pitching.
Rucker lasted just two innings, during
which time Pittsburg made seven hits and
scored five runs. He was relieved by Will
helm. who allowed ten hits in the ten
innings which he pitched, but kept them
so scattered that the Pirates were unable
TO tally more than one run in any inning.
Camnitz met his Waterloo in the middle
of the fourth after he had been pounded
for seven hits and as many runs. Phillip
went TO his rescue and held Brooklyn down
to four hits until he taken out at the
opening of the ninth. when Moore went in.
The latter was touched UP for six safeties
and four runs in the last three innings.

Only one Cleveland player reached first
