SESSION OF
FEDERAL
COURT LONG

1t Is practically certain that the ses-
sions of the United States court at
Hammond viii be extended into the
coming week If Judge Anderson de-
cides to hold court next week it will
break all precedents for the reason that
he has never consented to sit in Ham
mond for more than a week at a time
The naturalization matters were all
disposed of yesterday and the trial of
the case of George Lawrence VS.. the
Pennsylvania railroad is in progress
There are three other cases set for
trial and the attorneys in them are
awaiting the word of Judge Anderson
as to whether or not he will try them
this term.
The Lawrence case will take all day
today and tomorrow and may even last
longer. The other cases will each take
day. so that IT is apparent that there
will be court all next week If Judge
Anderson decides to hold court.

BALL CLUB LOSES
LEASE OF GROUNDS
Hammond Baseball Team
May Have to Forfeit It's
Franchise in League.

Hammond ball players are very
much concerned over the fact that
they are unable to secure the ball
grounds formerly the property of the
Hammond Athletic Association.
The G.. II. Hammond Co, which owns
the grounds. refuses TO rent the
grounds for the reason that its expert
ence with the Hammond Athletic Asso :
citation was far from satisfactory.
There was a great deal of rent due
at the time the association went out of
existence and which the company will
never get. The grounds are in good
condition and viii require but little
expense for repairs and maintenance.
If the Hammond Baseball Club Is not
able to get grounds on which to play
Northern Indiana Baseball League.
This would be lamantable.
1t has been suggested that a nom mt
be started to either guarantee the G. H
Hammond Company the necessary
rent by inducing the business men 10
pledge a certain amount of money 70
cover any possible deficit else or
ganize and incorporate a new company
that will lease a block of ground in
some convenient location and build the
necessary grandstands and fences.
Something will have to be done al
once il the local lovers of baseball are
going to be able to have a team repre-
sent Hammond. The season will start
on Sunday. April Is when Hammond
plays Crown Point at Crown Point
