ACTOR-FAN IS
TIMES CHAMPION
Lew Wells Declares Lake
County Times "Saved
His Life

Hammond is great town and THE
TIMES is a worthy newspaper of such a
live. hustling community"
The above encomium is not the out
burst OF some politician come to our
midst in search of ballots. but was re-
marked to a TINES reporter this morn
ing by Lew Wells, the saxaphonist-
comedian now at the Orpheum.
Beside being a funny man, Lew is a
ardent baseball fan. Box scores he
must have every evening before he
gains an appetite for dinner. Some
men require cocktail. but Lew dotes
on box scores. Otherwise he is unable
to consume his evenings repast. Hence
failure to receive the detailed statistics
of the days baseball games would in
time work to the starvation of the
genial entertainer.
Lew had started on this path Of
forced fasting when. as he claims, THE
TIMES saved his life.
Lew was in Chicago last week when
the current pressmen's strike against
the Chicago papers was inaugurated
| The first night of the strike Lew was
| unable TO obtain a Chicago paper with
| the scores Feeble from want of food
| he went on at the Wilson avenue the

for that many saloonNeepers.
These suits will. in view of Judge
Kopelke's decision today. result in the
