the South Shore line has been inter
rupted today, owing to the removal of
the building in Chicago avenue next
door TO Sam Cohen's buffet. formerly
occupied by Veaco and Beach's drug
store. The wires of the street car
company had to be cut as were also
those of the Red Line and of the Tele-
phone company, but this afternoon all
of the wires have been connected up
again and the street cars resumed
their former way of going.
The building for some time has been
being placed in readiness for the
change of location, and has been stand
ing on blocks but the actual work OF
removal was not begun until last night
at midnight. With the big bulk occupy
ing a large space in the width OF Chi
cago avenue it was impossible for
street cars on the South Shore line TO
make through runs. this morning and
passengers were obliged until noon to
i transfer at the point where the build

Forsyth avenue Red Line cars between
here and Hammond were necessarily
prevented from crossing, but We're
obliged to stop on the south side OF
Chicago avenue insteat of continuing

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR
h. 4. s. TRACK TEAM

With pride and assurance that is
pardonable. members of the Hammond
high school track and field teams are
making the assertion that they expect
to clean the platter at the county seat
at Crown Point this spring.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
there is some very promising material
in the Hammond high school, and under
Prof. Bucks coaching and a willingness
on the part of the athletes to work out
a number of stars can be developed
The experience, that some of the
team to be gathered, in the contest last
year will eliminatert to some extent what
stage fright there is connected with
the performance.
Under the direction of Prot Buck,
daily f1ve-mile hikes were inaugurated
last Monday and within a week or two
the training is TO begin in earnest
Gavit is the captain OF the team, and
he is looked to for reliable work in
the mile and mile and a half runs.
Irwin is also giving promise as a long
distance runner, is also Sprague,
who was one of last years team
"Eggie" Crumpacker has mapped out
big program for himself. as he in
tends TO participate in the 100 and
220-yard dashes and in the high and
lows hurdles.
In the dashes some very good work
is expected from Gescheidler, who may
also try in the weights.
More particularly for the weights, the
school has Blocker Plumb and Van
Glider and possibly also Graves. The
latter is also expected to figures in the
low hurdles. Hudson will try for the
100 and 220 dashes. Weimer and Tay-
lor are relied on for the pole vault

GAME FOR YOUNG MEN
IT REQUIRES FIVE WITH RED
HAIR AND FIVE BALD.
Charming Diversion for Gentle Youths
10 So Different From Football
and Other Crude Forms
Of Sport.

A new, brilliant and i~nvigoratins
game for young gentlemen which will
undoubtedly become popular both al
athletic clubs and universities has
been devised. The of the
first game of this particular class. or
sort, which was entitled, Cleopatra,
smite me now" and was fully de-
scribed in h public prints not long
since, has been phenomenal. The
very newest game is modelled on the
same general lines, and is played as
follows:
Five young gentlemen with red hair,
and fve young gentlemen who are
prematurely bald dress themselves in
Bingham clothing with a wide sash
over the left shoulder. (The purpose
OF the sash appears 1ater-the ging-
ham clothing is just for pure devil
try
The five young gentlemen with red
hair range themselves in a solid front
directly opposite the five young gen
tlemen who are prematurely bald.
The red-haired young gentlemen then
say, in chorus, softly, yet distinctly,
IF We cannot possess red hair, let Us
have nom at all" To this pretty
compliment the five prematurely BALD
young gentlemen reply, smiling pleas
antly as they speak, Thank o so
much!"
Instead of saying, Not at ALL" as
would naturally be expected, the
young gentlemen whose hair are red
1--WE use the plural advisedly) step
gracefully forward and seize the
sashes of the other contestants in the
game. These, in turn, also seize
sashes. Being paired off, they now
waltz gently about the apartment
where the game is being played to
the music of a Hungarian orchestra,
which is concealed behind banks OF
flowers, rare exotics, etc.
At this point the spectators Of the
game r taken violently insane, thus
presenting. the superb finale in which
everybody present actually takes part
IN the game.
This is SO different from football
and the cruder forms of sport that it
quite charms every one.
P. S.-Part of the fun of this new
est game for young gentlemen is h
extreme difficulty in finding any
young gentlemen with red hair who
will consent to play in the game.
But when once found, they play a
strong game.
