Are Having These Bright,
Chilly Days.

Bag punchers in the Hot Stove League
while counting Lady Nicotine and talk
ing Of everything in particular and moth
ing in general have expressed great
concern Of late over the football pros
poets for 1917 in Hammond. Rumors
that Captain Frank Blocker Will not
play with the Clabbys if Forrest Nor
row, his collegiate friend is not the
manager. and fear that East Chicago
plans 10 kidnap the team from stem To
stern are prevalent between six and nine
o'clock each evening. not excepting sun
GAYS and holidays.
Even the talk that Melvin Monnetts
friends are going to run him for mayor
IA speculation stamped by Melv. as un-
true. unfounded and greatly eSaggerat-
ed-does not drown out the clamor. And
hv the way, Monnett is sidestepping in
TWO directions. To begin with the neu-
trails want him to take over the CIabbys
the friends OF Forrest Morrow and
Paul Parduhn can speak to each other
gain. And lastly. the other honor
which the writer has taken solemn
oath with right hand raised. at the be-
hest of Monnett. not TO mention again
in print under any circumstances, even
ina the event of nomination and election.

honor as q gentleman sworn to not say
anything further what can a chap dog
Prank Loquacious.
The purpose Of this article is not to
run anybody for mayor but to set at
rest the erroneous reports concerning
The Clabbys. Captain Frank Blocker

state street and Broadheads on the
west sidewalk of Holman street about
The status of the case said in part.
i don't believe the fans have given
Forrest Morrow the credit he deserves"
Who IS your candidate for mayor
no. I meant, are you going to play with
East Chicago?" asked the reporter.
Frank helped himself to a handful Of
fine cut which he had purchased at cleo
ton observation-disclosures another mis-
take-in a cigar store. and made the fol-
lowing statement regarding the matter:
NO"
Would you refuse 10 play under any
other manager excepting Morrow"
II don't believe the fans have given
Forrest" began Frank.
You said that before. Have you any
thing against Paul Parduhn2"
The football captain leaned on Pap
Clabby for support-some support-and
delivered the Grafton as quoted below:
