TWILIGHT
LEAGUE To
MEET TONIGHT
BY MCKAY

by MChA1
The Hammond Twilight Baseball
League will meet at the Court House
tonight at s ?. NJ In all probability
this will be the final meeting be-
fore the opening Of the league
schedule. May Is.
Since the organization of the
organization of the league. the
Bankers. Times and Policemen have
seen Mt to withdraw. feeling Liz
they were unable to compete against
teams of greater pitching strength.
While they are no doubt justified in
this withdrawal. it is quite obvious
that to restrict the stronger clubs
in the use OF their talent would be
70 greatly cheaper and lower the
type of ball played throughout the
schedule. Suppose the pitchers en-
rolled in the teams eligible lists
who have played Sunday base uaII
were barred from participating In
Twilight League games. Such a Ae-
striction would have the same eff
feet in this local league as a rule
barring Walter Johnson. Faber and
other such stars would have in the
American league.
At this date the following teams
have deposited the sum of fifteen
dollars and are ready to carry out
a schedule: Bonus A. c.. Illinois Car
Co, Simplex Plant Illinois Bell
Telephone Co., United Boiler, Heat
ing and Foundry Co.. and the United
Chemical & Organic Products Co.
These teams will play one game a
week, the games to start not later
than p, M. on a Hammond or West
Hammond field. Should any team
desire to play a Saturday afternoon
game, there is nothing in the
league bylaws or no overwork in
their regular schedule which would
prevent it. Balls are to be furnish
ed for each game by the home
team. making it necessary for each
team to be prepared to furnish two
and one-half dozen balls for the en-
tire season. The league will pay
the umpires.
Why the Northern Indiana Gas a.
\ Electric Co, W. B. Conkey Co, r. S.
Betz Co, Wlnner Malleable Iron Co,
and other such organizations arc
not represented in this league is
hard to understand. An organiza-
ton led by Frank O'Rourke and
John Millett certainly gives more
promise of being successful than
any previous one. There Is abso-
lutely no reason why this league
should not open the week beginning
May 14th with a dozen or more
teams competing. Get your repre-
sentatives down to that meeting at
the court house, May 4th, See that
he brings fifteen dollars to deposit
to be returned if you carry out
your schedule, and let him hear the
report OF the men raising money
with which to pay umpires and be
prepared to assist in drawing up a
schedule.

party arrived at the church they
found the building ablaze and a

accompaniment of flying sparks and
clouds of smoke the marriage cere-.

HALLOWEEN FUN FOR
 MANY'ON THE STREETS

Tuesday night was Halloween night and from all parts of the city came the young folks all bent on having great night of it, while the ''cNps' of the city kept watch to see that the fun did mol go beyond proper limits.
 Ghosts. tramps. Sailors and host Of differently rigged out human beings walked the streets and played the usual tricks on the unsuspecting public. In some sections of the city the fun took the turn of moving park benches. while in others door bells were rung and auto horns blown until the driver shooed the mischief makers away.
 The central part of the city came in for it's usual share of fun during the evening and many bands paraded the streets and entered stores where tricks of many kinds were worked on the pro- prietors.
 The crowd on the street was in good l humor, and stood for all the fun the-, l was coming. In one part of the citl a maid who had rigged herself out t' represent the devil was followed abou by small boys who had more of tn real thing in them than did tine girl
 The boys continued to torment her un til she arrived in the neighborhood O
 a policeman and when the boys saw tn
 brass buttons approaching they beat
 nasty retreat.
 The Halloween enjoyment on th
 streets was added to by many a Hal lowe'en party in local homes, the ac
 tivities this year far exceeding those c
 past years.

LAWRENCE CHAPNAN's BOOK
 ON MARINE POWER PLANT

In The Bulletin of the American Blu reau of Shipping for September-October appears a review of the book ''The Ma rine Power Plant" by Lawrence B. Chapman, professor of naval architec- ture at Lehigh university. and son of Mrs. Charles Billings Chapman of this city. It is a notice that will interest his many friepds at his former home here.
 Of the book it says: "This is most timely and welcome publication for ma rine engineers, E\at and ashore, and for shipowners and operators as well.
 After a long period of reckless extrav- agance in fuel consumption. due to con- ditions during and immediately following the World war, shipowners are demand ing the greatest economy in the operation of their ships because of the intense riv- airy for the limited shipping business now being done. Professor Chapman's book treats the subjects of fuel combustion. fuel econ omy, and the more modern types of prime movers in a very thorough and under standable manner. The lengthy disserta- ! tions on obsolete and obsolescent engines and auxiliaries, with which existing treatises have been numbered, are con-
 spicuous by their absence in this new | publication Formulae are used only ! when absolutely necessary. so that there i will be a great deaf of value to the non-
 mathematical reader. and it will appeal especially to the practical sea-going en' giReers, who, in the final analysis. ara the men to produce the best results aft CT scientifically designed marine install
 lations are placed in their charge. Ir fact every one interested in ecOnomics performances at sea will find this new I treatise of great value. As fuel cost | are now approximately one-fourth th' total operating charges, the importance of conservation of fuel cannot be giver too much attention.
 The shipping board. by it's recent ap pointment of committee for this espe 1 cial object, has set sn excellent exampl' to all shipQwners.
 The greatest numbar of existing reli able text books on marine propulsion are by foreign authors. and it is there fore particulaly pleasing that this bool emanated from an American of such higl
 standing as Professor Chapman"

Other enrollments nave taken place since October 1ath and tonight (Wednesday) three more men will be enrolled.

Craven, states that time is getting short for enlist ments as enrollments must cease on Jan uary 1, 1928. There will be six more meetings of the reserve prior to this date and the men desiring to join must get busy or be left out.
 The reserve officers have requested l local people owning automobiles loan l their cars on a Wednesday night to aid in carrying these men to the base, as no money has, been appropriated for transportation.
