While Waukegan leads the league be
cause Of its higher percentage of games
won, Hammond is recognized as the most
formidable member. for Il has played
nearly twice the number Of games that
its rival has. and has lost but two
both flukes. As result the local club
has become quite an attraction. and
Parduhn is besought for matches BY
many OF the fast semt-pro organiza-
tions in Chicago and vicinity. Baseball
enthusiasts should be treated to some
splendid games in the near future. and
it is hoped that the majority of them
viii be played at home.
Knight Is Released
Mana ger Artie Hoffman is well pleas
ed with the work of the Hammond team.
and he is confident that they Will trim
Waukegan prettily next Sunday He
is not thoroughly satisfied with the
showing made by shortstop Johnny
knight. however. and has signed Leo
Kavanagh. heretofore shortstop for the
West Ends. to replace him. Some re-
greet has been expressed over this
change because of Knights former good
work with the stick but it has been no
ticed that his batting average is grad
ually dropping. and general opinion
seems TO approve Hofman's action.
Knight led the Fort Smith club last
year BY piling up the enviable percent
age OF .415 and a beautiful gold bat and
ball was awarded 10 him for this feat.
His fielding record shows him as having
made more errors than any other play
er on the Hammond team.
Hoffman. with his knowledge Of base
ball, must see a decided advantage in
the transfer.

Charlie. B. Timberlake.

III senators JOhn ShafrOth and
Charles Thomas, whose party
is in control of the United Sta
government. were as eager to
press the Legitimate demands OF
the people of Colorado in con.
gress as is Congressman Chas.
b. Timberlake, of the second
Colorado district, Boulder would
get the enlargement to her post
Office that she must have to re-
lieve the cramped, crowded con
dition that at present seriously
hampers mail distribution.
Congressman Timberlake was
not informed in time to get an
appropriation for the Boulder
postoffice included in the body
of the omnibus public buildings
bill. But as soon as he learned
what Boulder asked and knew
she deserved it he presented his
bill, on Monday, December 4.
1916. or the opening day of the
present session of congress.
The public buildings bill had
been reported in the house at
the last session or prior TO the
time of the introduction of Con
gressman Undertakes bill.
Although he secured from Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo
a favorable report on the Boul-
der postoffice appropriation bill
by the rules of the house, it had
to be tackled on as an amend
ment to the omnibus public
buildings bill. With other sim
liar amendments it was voted
down "on grounds that il one
was allowed it would be prece-
dent for Others" thus endan-
reripg passage of of entire bill
Congressman Timberlake has
