The Crown Point baseball team will
play Whiting at the oil city next sun
day. being their first out of town game
since they invaded Hammond three
weeks ago. With the county seats
staff of pitchers being nearly invinci-
Bile and the gilt-edged support being
given them it looks like another win
Whiting, however, has always proven a
hard proposition by the local baseball
fans. and If the next game is lost it
will not be through confidence.
Crown Point won from Hammond
twice and the latter team succeeded in
turning the trick against Whiting, so
the dopesters have it figured out that
Crown Point ought to carry home the

The outcome of the reciprocity fight
in Canada is most interesting as show
ing how a whole nation can almost
scare itself to death over a boyle. All
reports indicate that the effective ar
gument was not reciprocity at all but
the wild and foolish talk about an
nexation. patriotic pride, etc. 1t is
the old story over again, the protected
manufacturers of the Dominion fooled
the more gullible of the voters into
pulling the chestnuts out of the fire,
for the aforesaid protected and veal
thy manufacturers. AS to the fate Of
this particular reciprocity measure,
there Is no great reason for
regret. 1t was only home
eopathic dose and amount
ed to little anyway. II so small a
dog could scare Miss Canada into fits,
wonder what would happen II real
live issue came along.
