All this will happen today and
this evening when the directors
of the Northwestern baseball
league will begin their sessions
in the Tacoma hotel today to
prepare for the 1913 session.
The most important question
as far as Tacoma is concerned
discussed today was 'sthe allot-
ment to Tacoma of more at
home games for the season. From
what the directors of the league
have already intimated, it looks
as if Joe McGinnity's request will
meet with no dissenting voice
when a vote is taken.
McGinnity also suggested that
the series for each club be re-
duced to four games instead of
seven, as has been the case. This
he says has the advantage of

WORK OR VAMOSE.

Any well man who Is not working
ought to be run out of town. He
may offer the excuse that he can t
find anything to do but the facts are
that there is plenty of work for any
man who really wants to earn an
honest living.
Nearly every factory in the region
wants more men A man who loses
his job today should go to work to-
morrow. He might not be able to
get just the sort of a job that he
wants but he ought to be able to
get job that would bring in enough
money to make him self respecting
man.
From time to time the cities of the
Calumet region are infested with
beggars, professional and otherwise,
they call at the back doors of resi-
|dences and tell hard luck stories to
Isympathizing housewives.
These men should be arrested on
sight. On several occasions men
have been bold enough to stop peo-
pie on the streets and beg from them.
This should be stopped.
The time has come when every
man who lives on the community
should render a service to that COM
munity in return for his support.
The scarcity of laborers and other
employees is being felt everywhere.
Something will have to be done tt
supply the demand. 1t is estimated
that the plants of the region could
use 900 more men if they could get
them today.

ON COURTESY.

There are lot of foreigners in our
county. The proportion is greater
than in any other part of the state.
1t is custom of many of these men,
especially those who have just come
over, to tip their hats to their Ameri-
can-born acquaintance. In most
instances this courtesy is not return
ed probably not once in a hundred.
Yet it should be, if only with a touch
of the finger to the hat.
Perhaps most of those honored by
having hat tipping salute accorded
them believe that the foreigner re-
CARDS that their position demands
such an expression of greeting. Such
is not the case, for on the continent
hat tipping among men is universal
and no doubt the foreigner, who Is
not yet acquainted with our customs
must feel that the failure to return
the salute on an equal basis is a part
of American discourtesy.
The newcomer from Europe who
tips his hat to a man is merely fol-
lowing the continental custom, but
in time he will be Americanized. In
any event hat tipping on his part de-
mands equal courtesy from the one
honored.

The people of East Chicago, Indi-
ana Harbor and incidentally several
other cities in the Calumet region
would like to know why some mem
bers of the East Chicago council are
now taking a hand in haggling over
the muchwanted traction fran
chises?
1t cannot be possible that these
distinguished gentlemen want people
to think that they are so stupid they
cannot see the tremendous import
ance of passing the franchises SO that
the Baldwin Locomotive Works can
begin to build.
Why the delay then?

JOHNSON ANGRY
BECAUSE PEOPLE
SAY HE'S ALL IN

Jack Johnson is one angry champion
today. Artha is all "het up" over re-
ports to the effect that he is in bad
condition and is showing the results of
two years of idleness and high living in
the training work he has done to date
for Jim Flynn.
Jack claims he is in grand shape
right now, in fact good enough to step
into an arena and crush Flynn any time
of the day or night. He thinks he is a
much abused chap. apparently losing
sight of the fact that the worse he
in his training the bigger card Flynn
will be against him. Johnson had the
following remarks to make last night:
II don't see where these fellows get
the idea that / am an old and fading
champion / ought to know something
about my condition and to tell the truth
am tickled to death with it. No one
could expect to be feeling better than
1 do seven or eight weeks before a big
fight In my boxing at O'Connells each
day 1 am gradually speeding up in my
work and have not felt distressed at
any time.
Jack Johnson is as good right now
as he was two months before the JEFF
fries fight. This talk about my being
shot to pieces physically is pure bunk,
that's all. If they'll get real fighter
up into O'Connell's some afternoon I'll
show folks just how good I am. I've
lost seven and a half pounds in the last
week and will take off as much more
in the next seven days Don't worry
about Johnson. He'll take care of his
championship on July A.
Johnson boxed six rounds yesterday,
three with Jumbo Wells and three with
big black fellow who calls himself
Rastus He gave each a fine cutting.

Crown Point Game.

Mike Mckeown, known as the arm

catching, batting and throwing a ball.
Besides this Mckeown has learned to

A PITIFUL CASE.

This week simple transformations
funeral was held in Hammond. A
hearse and two carriages was all
there was to the procession. 1t was
pathetic in it's simplicity.
Holman street was to busy to take
notice. Besides it was such a mod
est simple little funeral, a common
be remembered, the city was throb-
bling with new life Hammond had
just heard the good news that an
eleven million dollar factory was to
be its share; the doors of prosperity
were opening wide; everybody was
drinking from the cup of optimism
which was strongly seasoned with
gold; a gentle May breeze added zest
TO the games of speculation. Women
elegantly gowned followed the tempt
ing sunshine to the matiness, and
into the shopping district Some
thing should be done to divert the
funeral traffic to the side streets; a
hearse is such disagreeable sight,
Maybe it was we'll this hearse pass
ed through the principal street of the
city, for somebody made inquiry as
TO whose funeral this was. A hearse,
after all can not be dismissed so
readily. For every one contains the
contamination of a story, which if II
were well enough told. and deeply
enough pondered, would establish the
human brotherhood in day. The
newspaper man inquired.
This hearse carried the dead body
of mother. In the two carriages
following were her eight children,
the oldest only seventeen years old,
the youngest a little bright eyed,
shorthaired shaver, two year old
boy. Not realizing the meaning of
it all, he enjoyed the ride immensely.
The father of the family rode in one
of the carriages too.
Who was she? Just one of the
great army of patient slaves. She
died at the hospital following an
operation. She hated to die because
she didn't know what would become
of those eight children. Her hus-
band is a nightwatchman
But that is not ALL The question
arises, who will care for the poor
orphaned children? There are eight
of them and only one, the Oldest
girl is able to work She will have
TO choose between being mother t.
the family, or going back to work ct

cottage on Gostlin street the home
of the family is a desolate place

ed to help along but it is we'll realiz
ed that things can not continue in

is looked to to give some aid. This
kind women of Hammond can be re
lied upon to come to the rescue Blu
