:. Chicago Eleven Has Remarkable Recore
THIS MANS A
REAL SPORT

The city Of Hammond owes
Paul Parduhn an everlasting
vote of thanks and this goes for
those who are not interested in
sports as we'll as those who are.
Parduhn would be an asset to
any city for the blood in his
veins is red and he has en-
blazoned the name of Ham
mond on the baseball and foot
ball map. Wherever profess
sional football is played Ham
mond is known and respected.
Better than a stock company
or athletic club-for the crowd
often works at cross-purposes-
Parduhn, single-handed has
promoted athletics in Ham
mond without a limit on the
cost and that he has been re-
warded by some profit on his
investment is a cause of graft
fication. Whatever Paul has
made in dollars he deserves
triple. The publicity alone
that the promoter gained for
the city is valueless. It could
have been attained in no other
way for it is an acknowledged
fact that sporting news is the
Invest news published in the
newspapers. day in and day out.
1t indicates that town is
live. young and a good place to
live.
BY taking a big league pitch
or and assembling high class
diamond stars with big salary
demands, Parduhn won the
1917 baseball championship of
Chicago in the semi-profes-
sional class-and this despite.
the fact that there are more
good ball clubs in Chicago than
in any other city in the coun-
try. He went to the home of
baseball and brought back the
bacon. Hammond was herald
cd in the headlines week in and
week out.
At the close of the football
season Parduhn had assembled
the greatest galaxy of stars the
state of Indiana has known.
The great Johnny Barrett. Pad
dy Driscoll, Halstrom, Mehlig.
Keefe and others of nationwide
renown, including Frank Block
or, were wearing the colors of
Hammond. The team was
phenom when it overwhelmed
the Fort Wayne Friars, Is to 0
an unheard of score against
that championship club. Par
duhn's payroll was over $500
for the last game. And he spar
cd no money on officials. get
ting the best in the west-not
the next best but the very best,
cheap officials in game in
which there is more room for
rank officiating than in any
other sport-means clean foot
ball. no rag-chewing and ideal
sport. BY getting mediocre Of
ficials Parduhn would have
saved $50 each game. But he
isn't that kind of a promoter.
AS a result there hasn't been a
team that left Hammond after
a game that complained.
More power to Parduhn. He
promoted football this fall IN
der the greatest difficulties and
he gave the Hammond public
the fullest value for its money.
And may he long continue in the
field of sports for the good of
the city. Promoters of his type
are few and far between.

drifting snow in winter seasons also
shade and ornamental trees about
the house and along the street. We
have seen much of this kind Of bus
mess and this is to caution against
making a grove all of one kind of
tree, as they all make about the
same amount of growth and the
wind passes under There should be
as many as four different kinds,
those of large growth on the south
side and willows on the north.

FOR SALE--LAND
DAYLIGHT TRAIN SERVICE

1t was rumored about in railroad
circles yesterday morning of a
change in train schedules On the
north division which will probably
take effect in the very near future.
Reports are that trains No. 901 and
902, better known as the "scoot, y
will be discontinued. as we'll as the
Ladysmith locals. In the place a
regular passenger train will be put
on between this city and the twin
ports, the train making up at Du-
luth and making connections with
trains No. | and 2, then returning.
Should this change take place this
will give the towns along that
division a daylight train at all times
of the year, and will be great
benefit to this city, giving the peo-
pie of the towns north Of here an
opportunity to come to this city to
do their trading and return the same
day. Should such a schedule go in
to effect it will make a lay-over Of
that train here for about two hours
and half
We hope to see the 500 officials
make this change, so that this city
can get the trade from the north,
of which it is deserving. En-
terprise
