due to the popularity of the Crown
Point team that drew the immense
crowds at Hammond and Crown Point
during the late series of games be-
tween the two teams. The Crown Point
management has been the only one in
the county that has been able TO sup
port a team throughout the season with
out asking for assistance of outsiders
and the crowds at local games has aver
aged more than any two towns and
cities in the county for the season.
In the out of town games Crown
Point has bundled more fans into the
opponents grandstands and diamonds.
than most of the towns and cities have
been able to muster, and the gate re-
ceipts of the locals at home and abroad
will compare favorably with anything
sporting a diamond in Lake County.
Not that Crown Point is especially
anxious to become one of the big
eight for there are plenty of Chicago
teams that the county seat players can
cross bats with, and still keep the
crowds coming. The management of
two or three teams in Lake County,
north of the Calumet have been de-
cidedly unfair in their treatment of
the county seat team, possibly on &C
count OF the Idct lhdt tIowu L oihl Co"
have the pick of the county players on
its payroll simply because they are fair
and square with them and generally
have the "mazuma" after the game to
settle with the players for their sup
port Possibly Crown Point may not
be one of the big eight" next season
but as usual 1t will have some team
with satisfied players and a record for
fairness that some Lake County teams
cannot boast of.

one speech at Lafayette. Congressman
Crumpacker will be at Lafayette that
day and will make speech at a big
meeting in the evening. Lafayette Will

The Roosevelt trip has grown con-
siderably since ii was first announced.
According to the original plan he was
to make only one speech in Indiana,
and that was to be at Indianapolis. in
behalf of Senator Beveridge. Then the
state committee got to thinking about
1t and concluded that it would be
mighty good thing If Roosevelt could
make more than one speech in Indiana.
even II they were short speeches. The
committee took up the matter with a
view to having HIM speak at several
places, and when Senator Beveridge
was in Chicago with Roosevelt at the
Hamilton club banquet, when the
Lorimer incident occurred, he asked
Roosevelt about the matter. Roosevelt
readily consented to do anything that
was asked of him, provided 1t could all
be done in the one day which he had
reserved for Indiana.
When Beveridge came home the state
committee announced that Roosevelt
would speak at Covington, Crawfords-
Vile, and few little places on the way
from Peoria to this city. This was the
first enlargement of the tour. and 1t
gave great satisfaction, for it would
enable Roosevelt to speak in the Ninth
district In the interest of Edward z.
Neal, the Republican candidate for Con-
| gress.
Then there came a demand for
Roosevelt at Anderson and Muncie. and
the committee again got busy. They
finally arranged the trip so that Roose-
Welt could leave Indianapolis in time
to make a short speech at both of thess
places in the evening. This put him
into the Eighth district. also. where he
could make two speeches In the interest,"

PAROCH|Al SCHOOL
PUPILS RIDE FREE

Pupils attending the parochial
schools of Gary who live more than one
mile from the school may ride to and
from their homes at the expense of the
scho1 city Children under twelve and
living more than one mile are to have
car fare. children over twelve and~liv-
ing more than two miles are also to
haze car fare which will be furnished
by the board of education.
This was the substance of a resolu-
ton passed by the school trustees of
Gary at their first October meeting
held in the Emerson school.
Committee Asks For 1t.
The movement to secure transporta-
ton for school pupils came up last
week when ]. ]. Kelley lead a dele
cation of Holy Angel church members
to the board rooms and requested that
the parochial school children be furn-
ished the carfare privileges of the city
school pupils. Their request was taken
under Amusement by the city attorney
and the favorable resolution resulted
1t was put forth by Mr.. Kelley and
the committee members that the state
compulsory school law says that child
rem must attend school. Ths law does
not state whether it shall be a public
or a private school and it further di-
reefs that the school trustees of the
city shall furnish transportation.
Board VIII Pay Carfnre.
Our request was for carfare for the
parochial school children said ona of
the committee members, While the
parents of these youngsters pay taxes
for the support of the city schools they
save the city money by supporting the
private school. AS far as carfare for
all the children is concerned the law
is equable and the statutes make no
distinction. The parochial school child
rem are entitled to the transportation
and the board has granted the request -

ball must not be hit into the air, as
long fly would score him.
"Therefore. when there are no rum
ners on the bases, it is common sense
to keep the ball high, so that the batter
will hit under it and lift it to fielder.
Unless the game is very close, l use
very few curve balls under those cir
cumstances. The curve ball should be
used when there are men on the bags.
ITO make that little palmer
would say, always keep the ball in
the air when the bases are unoccupled,
and always keep it on the ground when
the plate is threatened
ga pitcher should always bear in
mind that baseball is a gamble, to a
large extent, but he must figure which
way he has the most chances and work
it out on that line. For instance, a
ground ball is dangerous at all times,
and especially so when the inield is
playing in close. But at the same time
fly ball with runner on third is fatal.
The pitcher must take the risk of a
grounder and stake all on getting the
man at the plate. If the ball is hit
hard the game is lost. It Will shoot
between the infelders and 60 for hit,
but that is the gamble of the game. and
to take the lesser of two dangers is
nothing more than common sense

national champion, won the annual in
vitation tournament of the Glen View
Club today, defeating Walter J. Travis

Yale collegian demonstrated that his
winning the national title was no fuke
by downing again the eastern cham
pion. whom he defeated in the third
round of the championship last year,
two to one.
The meeting today of the two sec
