III. S. Game SATURDAY..

The Michigan City high school base
ball team will invade Hammond. Sat
urday afternoon TO do battle with the
Hammond high school team in a sec
ond game of a series. In their first
game Hammond was defeated by Mich
igan City by a score of 3 to 2, but ac-
cording to the dope of the local team
the score does not show the relative
strength of the two teams. as luck was
an important factor in the game.
The local team is working out each
night and a great deal of time is be-
ing spent on hitting, as that depart
ment of the game is not up to the
standard the team would like 1t to be.
The game with Blue Island Shove ed
that Hammond was strong on defense,
but the offense needed more attention
If they expected to score many runs.
The pitching staff will be in excellent
shape by Saturday as Smith has regain
ed control of his ball and will probably
start and finish the game for Ham
mond.
The team Is confident they will win,
which Will give them record of three
out of four games played. In the past
games the local high school have had
poor support in attendance and they
ask the fans to turn out and give them
little help.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
1t is entirely closed. Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

she has some things which give her
