May Have Ball Team.

Hammond may have a ball team
after all. according to a report that
was noised around yesterday. Saylor
Long, who conducts a sporting goods
and cigar store on Holman street, has
come forward with a proposition and
if suitable place and team is
cured fans may have an opportunity
of witnessing some good Sunday ball
games.
1t is probable that the suits worn by
the baseball team last year will be
purchased and a fast team may be put
into the field. Although nothing def
mite has been given out, the fans are
in hopes that some decision will be
reached next week. 1t is said that
there will be but one amateur team in
Hammond this year, most of the base
ball players contemplating playing
wit hout- oft town teams. The Zim-
norman Colts of West Hammond VIII
omen up their season Sunday after

realized his doom.
