second defeat of the season at Pull
man Saturday evening. when the fast
Palmer Park squad took them into
camp by a score of 81 to 16. The game
was a whirlwind from start to finish

will keep them out of the game for
several weeks.
Although the Hammond quintet has

have had but little opportunity of get
ting together for practice In the fu-
tune they hope TO arrange for four or
Eve practice evenings each week The
team is arranging q. schedule for the
season and would like TO secure games

ANYTHING YOU
WANT THERE

The completeness of the stock and
the immense variety to be found at the
f. C. Minas company store has de-
veloped at even a greater pace than
their progressiveness in size would in
dicate. An out of town customer came
in the other day and said: My wife
wants a kitchen cabinet and a canary
bird for Xmas" Needless to say his
wants we most satisfactorily supplied
This is only one of the many instances
that has proven that no mater how df-
