have selected fine lineup.
They have also insured themselves
for rooters and have invited all of the
Boy Scouts of Hammond 70 be their
guests that day. when they will feast
them on ice cream and cracker jack
Perhaps a little bribery. but yet. fair
and square" for they well know the
ways Of a boy when given an ice cream
cone In one hand and box of cracker
jack in the other. 1t is feared the boys
~ill be partial and Will only recognize
their Hammond big-brother Elks when
II comes 20 boosting the game Never
theless the committee Of arrangements
will give away a beautiful Elk emblem
for the first home-run. which may
square matters should the lot fall to
Chicago.
Chicago Eiks have manifested much
enthusiasm about this game They have
n beautiful banner across the street of
their home on Washington street an
nouncing the game and have volunteer
cd their aid in every possible way to
aid the Hammond new Elk home. The
entire proceeds of the game will go to
Hammond.
1t is hoped the weather man will have
a warm spot for the Elks and tho Boy
Scouts that day. Neighboring Elks of
tho different cities have secured their
tickets for the game and are anxious
for the match
