HAMMOND WANTS
REAL BASEBALL
TEAM IN 1921

Although the baseball season Is a
long way off. Hammond fans who want
the city put back on the map OF the
national pastime. are already getting
their heads together. Prospects are
now bright for a real team next yea.
A meeting OF fans was held last
evening at the court house. 1t was a
peculiar gathering because of the fact
that about all OF the men present were
substantial citizens, manufacturers.
merchants or professional men. All
agreed that II was deplorable thas
Hammond had no representative team
in the professional field last year and
all were equally positive that the de-
bacle should never occur again.
The subject was discussed freely and
two things were agreed upon Ham
nond must have g team and Hammond
also must have a good baseball and
athletic park located handy TO street
car and interurban lines.
1t is probable that an association
VIII be formed to finance both under
takings and with the class of men such
as were out last night back of it. ths
project is bound to be a winner. An
other meeting Will be held at the court
house next Thursday evening at which
a permanent organization will be ef
fected and definite plans made.

State
Park on

LINES eusEAv AT srArF cAs,IAl,

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. 27.-
Recommendation that the state leg
islature make large appropriations and
enact remedial measures to preserve
the national resources or Indiana are
included in the annual report OF the
department OF conservation which has
just been completed by Richard Lleber,
director.
Foremost among the recommends
tions is that the state appropriate 81
100000 towards the creation Of a state
park in the dunes along the shores OF
Lake Michigan.
The fact that these dunes are the
finest and greatest dunes known. their
accessibility to millions and their
adaptibility to the purpose and the ao-
solute necessity of an outdoor play
ground in that locality, do not warrant
further procrastination on the part Of
Indiana IN acquiring them" the report
reads
II is also pointed out that thousands
OF dollars have been spent in vain at
tempts 10 locate oil wells In Indiana
when the reports lying unpublished IN
the department because of a lack OF
funds, show there is no oil in the 10
cality OF the drilling. For a few hun
dred dollars the reports could be print
ed. the reports adds, whereas great
lossess occur regularly because OF tho
failure of the state to make its investi-
cations along this line public.
An appropriation of at least $500. 900
for the purchase Of additional forest
lands Is urged. 1t is recommended that
the tax law, which does not distinguish
between forrest and agricultural lands,
be amended so as to assess all forest
land at 81 an acre. These two recon-
mendations. which are intended TO pro-
mote both state and private forests,
are regarded as the cardinal points in
an adequate forestry program for the
state.
There is no objection TO clearing
woodland which is essentially agricul-
tursl land. the report said, but vigor-
GUS efforts should be made to prevent
clearing typical forest lands such as
are found in some of the hilly coun-
ties Of southern Indiana
