Sallee Won't Pitch in

Philadelphia in its homo bandbox.
In fact, only thirteen starts against
Phifadelphia's National league club
have been made by the elongated
southpaw.
The reason for Sims refraining
from pitching when his club visits
Philadelphia is simply this: He is
easy for the opposition TO touch for
long flies. And long flies in the Ma

would be breaking the home run

surprises have been sprung there in the, last few years.
1t is only a short while ago that Gary and East Chicago
did not exist at all. Indiana Harhor was nothi@ more
than an empty box car amid sand dunes on the Lake
County shore of Lake Michigan.
A Legislature in 1901 during a controversy between
the railroads ard a large corporation which desired to
build what was to be known as the Calumet Canal sent
a junketirg committee 10 Lake County 10 see where the
harbor for the canal was to be located This committee
went TO Hammond and took sleighs from there for the
point on the lake front where Indiana Harbor with its
big industries is located. The entire party drove across
the sand wastes where Gary and much of East Chicago
now lie. 1t was a bleak, desolate country giving little
promise of the extraordinary development il has wit
messed. Gary is now one of the five secondclass cities
of Indiana. East Chicago has enjoyed tremendous devel
opment as an industrial center. Whiting has grown rap
idly and so has Hammond. In fact sne of the most won,
derful sections of the country is the Calumet region, in
Guiding the cities mentioned. No other section has
grown more rapidly or acquired larger or more varied
industries. Commercially its history reads like a dream
story. 1t would seem almost too good 10 be true if il
was evident to those who care 10 have a look. During
the war more than $4,000 men We're employed in the Lake
County industries alone. There are more than forty
steel industries in East Chicago alone. Gary has some

Everything from whiskey TO bibles is made in Lake
County. There are 400 factories within its confines and
environs. 1t is the second county TO Marion in more than
one respect. 1t sent more soldiers to the war and raised
more money to keep the war going than any other county
with possibly the exception of Marion. but we would
have to be shown that it didn't beat Marion.
