Worth Going Miles to See.

There will be ball game between
the bankers and the newspaper men
of Hammond-between the yellowbacks
and the greenbacks The newspaper
men will be from the shops and offices
of both newspapers and the bankers
will represent all of the banks of the
city.
The bankers seem TO be banking on
the newspa per men getting into a fight
over politics and religion, but the
newspaper men plan to stand unitedly
against the common enemy and expect
to win in a walk.
There will be three players from the
Hammond Daily News and THE TIMES
will furnish the other six men.
The date of the game 1t not set. but
1t is understood that 1t will be played
within a week. Owing to the fact
that the newspaper men work all Of
the time there will probably be some
difficulty in securing a date for the
game

the team fro mthe league is that the
proposition has not been a paying in
vestment on account OF the team not
having any local grounds. The team
since the opening of the season has
been compelled to practice wherever
they best could and so far have only
played out of town games. In several
games the percentage to the Gary
team has been so small that Manager
Sax has been compelled to pay the de-
hcit out of his own pocket.
The team too although one of the
best in the league has been playing in
hard luck ever since the season opened
and ought to have won all their games.
This too has discouraged the managers
to such an extent that 1t was thought
advisable to withdraw from he league
and wait another year until there was
suitable grounds in Gary. It is said a
game will be arranged for next Sunday
with some Chicago team to be played
in Chicago.
Manager Sax is to be commended for
his efforts in trying to give Gary a
good team but II has been uphill work
on account of not having home grounds
and it could not be expected that he is
able TO pay a fast aggregation of play

BUSY IN EAST

East Chicago. June 15-East Chi
cago is to have a socialist party to
reckon with IN the next election. If
those interested in the organization OF
a club of that persuasion, have any
thing to say about it. 1t may also see

out of IT.
The club has not yet been regularly
organized, but seventy-three persons
have signifed their intention of ally

additional number is in sight There
will be a meeting this week to elect
officers. and elect a permanent organi-

foot for the gathering to be held Sat
urday. at which John Collins is to be
the principal speaker.
Dodgers have been industriously cir
culated throughout the city, setting
forth the purpose of the meeting the
circulars bearing a portrait OF John
Collins, who is exploited as having few
equals as a speaker on working class
politics. He is a machinist by trade
and a union man. He is president
of the Chicago Machinists union and
has been the candidate of the socialist
party both for the Mayor of Chicago
and for governor of the state of nli-
nois.
These questions are asked in the
lodged: Why must millions OF peo-
pie hunger? Why are millions unem-
ployed? Why do we have panics? Who
creates the worlds wealth? Who owns
the worlds wealth? Can you answer
these questions? The speaker can and
will.

Plumbers Strike On.

While the plumbers strike is not yet
settled, there is said to have been a
movement among the journeymen dur
ing the last few days to bring about a
conference between them and the mas
ter plumbers
The iourneymen say that there are
only a very few men out of work and
say that their walkout should not be
called strike as most of the men are
working somewhere else in the region
and getting the desired scale of $5-5o
a day.
William Kleihege, a master plumber,
took occasion to convince an inquiring
iournyeman plumber by what right he
was doing journeymans work by using
physical force on his questioner. The
latter is not a member of the local
which is now on strike. and did not
think that he was stumbling into trou-
Bile so readily.

PROPERTY NEEDED
FOR FAIRGROUNDS
Parks for Women and Children
in COngested Districts Are
Recommended.

The idea of public Fairgrounds. and
recreation parks for the crowded orr
entail districts was given a new lease
of life at a meeting last week Of the
Civic Federation. Its committee on
schools presented substantial report
ON the need of these institutions, rec
ommending property and the manner
of equipping the Fairgrounds,
While the report was referred back
to the committee for further study and
report, the discussion Of it was favor.
able. If the plans of the committee
are worked out, the Queen Emma prop
erty at the corner of Nuuanu and Bere-
tania avenues will be one of the lots
redeemed for playground purposes.
At present this property is an eyesore
where formerly it used to be one of the
most beautiful places in the city. Half
of the magnificent trees and shrubbery
which graced the place when it was the
residence of Queen Emma have been
cut away and where the broad lawns
were, arc now piles of brick and
boards. A japanese ballasting company
has lease on the place, and so far
they have managed to ruin the house,
which is far filthier at present than
any tenement in the city, and the
yards are piled high with unsighty
refuse. The owner of the property is in
England and has no personal interest
in it.
Another property recommended by
the committee is the old Normal School
lot at the corner of Fort and School
streets. The committee reported that
this ground was being held by the city
subject to the use of the department of
public instruction at any time, and that
now, perhaps, it could be utilized rs a
public school playground for children
after school hours.
The advantages of having public
playground for children of all schools
was also set forth and it was suggested
that if the property on King street was
secured for an athletic field for the Me
Kinley High School, as announced in
The Advertiser last week, the grounds
should be large enough to include the
fields for interschOol games, and in ad-
dition have plenty of room for general
playground.
The old Normal and the Queen Emma
properties are desired as suitable parks
| for women and children and are con
sidered especially desirable, as they are
close to congested centers. The for
mer is near the Punchbowl district,
while the other is just beyond the cen
ter of the crowded Chinese quarters
