first period, the sophs having only a
four point lead at the end of the

In the second period the defense

LOCAL BERTH IN
CENTRAL LEAGUE
DECIDED TONIGHT
South Bend Baseball Boosters
to Meet Heads of Clubs in
CirCuit-Need to Sell
5000 Tickets.

South Bend will step 10 the plate
at O'Clock tonight in an effort to
smash an offer of Hurler Ed Smith
for a home run 10 Central league
baseball.
The game will be staged in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms on W.
Colfax av.. and 1t will be a booster
occasion so far as anticipated at
tendance is concerned
There will be three umpires. f. w.
Dickerson of Grand Rapids, presi-
dent of the Central league; William
+. Essick. president OF the Grand
Rapids club. and Harry Stahlhefer,
president Of the Evansville club.
Immediate action is necessary. and
immediate action has been deter
mined upon in an effort to hold that
franchise Smith has in his inside
coat pocket. All he asks is support.
not so much the promise of that
article so necessary in the conduct
ing of a baseball machine. but a
little physical dope in the way OF
tickets sold and cash turned into the
club till.
IL Isn't a Great Deal!
II isn't mUch,-hardly anything in
consideration of what the financial
aid of the city will mean next sum-
mer.-accOrding TO fandom interest
ed in the franchise. Smith asks the
sale of 5000 booster tickets, and il
is held the disposal OF these tickets
will be an easy matter. The booster
day game will be staged at the
opening of the season here, and pre-
vious seasons are looked to as an
example of what South Bend can do
for the national pastime if it so de-
sires
Twenty men have made it a point
to see 800 fans in two days, and If
anyone interested hasn't been APP
preached, he is cordially invited to
step up to the figurative plate with
the rest of the boys and to add his
pep to the swing necessary to land
that franchise ball for a circuit
smash.
The time is s o'clock. the place is
the Chamber of Commerce. the UNI
pires are well known. and the game
is to secure a baseball franchise in
the Central league for South Bend,
Indiana.
Sounds good, Ell?

George Sardam.

The death of George Sardam aged 84, occurred at his home in Wetaug, near the toll. bridge, Friday morning, after a short period of illness following a general breakdown incident to old age For a long time deceased had been growing more and more feeble, and he was confined to his bed about a month.
 He was practically a lifelong resi- dent of the town of Salisbury, but was as we'll known in Canaan as in his own town. For some time before the toll bridge was built he ran a ferry across the Housatonic river, north of the toll- bridge site, which proved convienence to travellers and afforded comfortable income to the ferryman.
 The funeral services were held Sat- urday afternoon and interment was in the Salisbury cemetery beside the body of his wife, who died about ten years ago.
 Deceased leaves two brothers Plumb Sardam, of Millerton; Alexander Sar. dam, of Salisbury: and a daughter, Mrs. Benas, of Utica, N. Y.

Married MiI,riamen Not Exempt.

Adjt. General Charles H. Cole, of Massachusetts, announced Thursday that he had received a communication from the War Department notifying him that discharges granted members of the militia who refused to take the federal oath or members with depend ent families, were illegal. The com- munication called attention to a sec- tion of the law which provides that a militiaman who refuses to be mustered into the federal service upon demand of the President, shall be subject to court martial.
 General Cole said that between 800 and 800 men had refused to take the oath and that he had issued about 50 discharges, in the belief that he was within his rights under the law. In view of the War Departments inter- pretation of the statute, he said that he would order all militiamen who had returned to their homes from the camp at Birmingham to report at the camp again.

Dune Novels Did It

Joseph Lasalle, l9 years old, of New York, shot three men in a Bridgeport saloon Friday night, wounding all three, and then, running out, stopped a passing automobile, scared the oc cupants and forced them to jump out of the car and run away; then, hold, ing revolver to the head of the chauf feur, commanded him to put on all speed to get out of the city. The driver did put on all speed, but turned his steering wheel at the same time and ran into the curb and telegraph pole, smashing the car and spilling the chauffeur and bandit into the street. The "bad man" then held the large crowd that quickly formed at bay with the revolver and tried to back away but the police came in time to surround him and capture him. None of the men shot were seriously injured.

Scouts Dance.

The Boy Scouts dance in Town Hall, Friday evening was a triumph for the boys and jolly good time for all who attended. About 70 couples were present and kept the floor warm, from start to finish. The music was by Miss May Kegler, pianist, and Mrs. James Keenan, Jr., who surprised her friends by her proficiency with the trap drum, tymbal, triangle and all those jingling do-funnies that put "pep" into the modern dance music. Refreshing beverage was served, and the affair netted nearly SEQ for the Scouts treas. ury, which will go to the encampment fund. The Scouts contemplate long hike to their summer camp later in the season.
