HAMMOND

Before a big crowd of bowling base
ball fans at the steel companys park
yesterday afternoon. Gary defeated
Hammond in a one-sided affair by a
score of 4 to l. Had 1t not been for a
one-base hit by Moll and some clever
base running by View, Hammond would
have journeyed home with shutout
Bergman, who was on the mound for
Hammond, proved easy for the steel
city stick-wfelders and as a result they
found him for eleven neat hits. No
matter what kind of a ball Bergman
put over the plate those Gary swatters

eral times it looked as If the pellet
might drop over the fence for one of
those come on-hOmes.
On the Hammond side 1t was almost
the reverse, as Crozier held the visitors
to just one hit. This latter pleasing
little incident occurred in the second
stanza when Moll connected with the
ball for one sack. View was on first
base and if you ever saw anybody run
you should have seen him get around
those sacks and as a result View
scored the only marker for Hammond
With this. things looked little
brighter for Hammond, but Crozier
frightened up and even refused to let the
visitors touch the first sack. While
Gary played an errorless game Ham
mond did not give their twirler very
good support and four errors were
chalked up against them.
Hammond sent over a large delega-
ton and Gary was likewise greeted by
a large attendance. The score by in

philadelphia May 2o=The baseball
situation in the American league has
become acute. A special meeting of the
league has been called for this city to-
day and from all appearances the club
owners will resort to drastic measures
against the players of the Detroit team
in an effort to compel them to live up to
the rules of the league.
President b. B. Johnson arrived yes
terday afternoon and went into confer
ence with President Shibe, Manager
Mack and Manager Jennings while
awaiting the arrival of President Navin
of Detroit.
While the league officials were busy,
the players also were in conference.
George Stovan of the st. Louis club,
Harry Lord of Chicago, and Field Cap
tain Olsen of the Cleveland team were
here as representatives to look after
the interests of the new players or
ganization which they have been asked
to form. The other American league
teams are in sympathy with the move
ment, but they want to see what John
son does before they show their hand.
The Detroit players stand pat and
are more firm than ever in their de-
termination not to play unless Cobb is
Immediately reinstated.
From the indications at this hour 1t is
more than likely that the American
league will make an example of the
rebels. The magnates have decided that
something must be done to preserve the
dignity of the organization, and that is
the reason for calling the special meet
ing If such action is taken it remains
to be seen whether the players of the
other teams will stand by the Detroit
men or they will bow before the will
of Johnson in this matter

1t is stated by the union officials
that the Walk-Over management,
after agreeing to unionize the store,
and having the union announce the
place to all organized labor as a fair
concern, went back on it's word,
double-crossed the unionists, and
then threatened to throw out of the

been fooled to the place three times
on the promise that the store would
become union.

NOTICE

At a special meeting held this day,
January 81, 1912, by the County board
of Trego County High school, we as
trustees make the following state
ment:
If the voters of Trego county de-
eide to issue bonds for erecting a
high school building in Wa-Keeney,
that the cost of same, including heat
ing, plumbing and equipment, will
not exceed amount of bonds and tax
levy of 1911, which will approximate
S27, 900.
This statement is the result of in
vestigation and plans, specifications,
ETC., on hand; building to be of brick
or some other better material; site
has been given by citizens of Wa
Keeney to Trego county for high
sch ool building.
District No. 1. has given the use of
upper part of their school building,
rent free, for the past seven years for
the use of the county high school, the
county board paying one-half of coal
used in building and what repairs
needed in the rooms used.
Lie COuHIy IiSH SCIOOl Is CIOWucu
for room and District No. L. now
wants some of the space used.
In voting for or against the bonds,
voters should bear in mind that the
law states that place shall be pro-
vided for the county high school.
The time has come when a building
must be erected, and if not by bonds,
will have to be done by tax levy
from year to year, until sufficient
! funds are raised.
| Meanwhile the school needs the
building.
