PLAN Bic DAY
ON sunday
Mayors of Hammond And
Gary Expected to Pitch
First Balls

Sunday. May z. is TO be a banner
day in Hammond. The local Amer
lean Legion baseball team will meet
the redoubtable Gary American Le-
gion nine in a contest that promises
to be one of the most important of
the Legion season. Mayor Brown,
OF Hammond, will BIO on hand to
lend zest to America 5 greatest sport
while il is probable that Mayor John
son. of Gary, Will foot his horn loud
and boistrous when the two Legion
clubs meet at Harrison park.
Although the Gary Legioneers
have already played three Sunday
games with good results. The To-
Gals have been limbering up under
the cool weather with a few salts
fed practice games, in which the
Hammond vets have shown real
ability both at the stick and in the
field. Sundays fracas will no doubt
satisfy Hammond fans who will be
out in full force roofing for what
promises to be Hammond's best bet
this season.
The sentiment in Hammond is for
a winning team. Post Athletic Off
Ger Chayken viii try to meet the
local fans demands, knowing at the
same time that these are no better
boosters in the entire county than
there are in Hammond, and Lake
county in general. The Hammond
Legion has gotten together a veteran
aggregation of ball players. over
twenty are trying out for the regu-
lar squad, and this number will be
reduced TO thirteen when the locals
face the Gary crew.
over in Gary the hundreds of world
war veterans are going dappy over
the game to be played here. Special
cars are TO be chartered to bring the
visitors to Hammond and it is esti-
mated that over 200 will make the
trip. The one big drawback Ham
mond has had for several years is
the lack Of real ball park. where
one could enjoy a game sitting down,
but with the new Turner Field soon
to be completed local fandom can

the Legion intends to put out, and
an honest-to- goodness salaried team

lined UP the Clover a. c.. took them

soCKING SOCCER

Not much success is being met
with by officials of the S. o, A. A.
of whiting IN their praiseworthy
efforts to introduce soccer to the
sports lovers of the district. Sparse
crowds attended the games at For
syth field. 1t wat rather dishearr-
ening to note that q week ago Sun
day when two crack Chicago teams
cavorted about the field at Five
Points the crowd began to edge
away before the game was more
than half over. Perhaps one of the
disadvantages to advancement of
the sport in these parts is that fans
don't know what It's all about. The
s. o. A A. should furnish A-B-C
primers with every game.

SEVEN BILLIONS
SAVED TAXPAYERS
Senator Mccormick Points
Out Results of Work by
Republican Congress.

Reductions in appropriations, fed
eral taxes and freight rates since
the republican administration came
ment issued last night by Senator
Mccormick of Illinois, chairman of
the republican senatorial campaign
committee.
That the republican Congress had
saved taxpayers $7,000.0 100000, com
pared with the sums sought to be
spent under the Wilson administration
during three years" was asserted by
Senator Mccormick. who added:
Billion of Debt Paid.
"Since Warren Harding took of-
flee we have paid off nearly a billion
dollars of the national debt. We have
cut the annual expenditure of the
federal government by S1.000.O00. 900.
or about e5 per cent per annum. No
other government in the world has
done anything like it. Neither has
any of TIE state or municipal govern
mentS. many of which continue to
increase expenditure and taxation.
since Warren Harding took office
the present Congress has reduced the
annual aggregate OF taxation by
about billion dollars-by some eight
hundred million dollars for the cur
rent calendar year and by billion
dollars a year thereafter We have
wiped off the statute books a score
or two of nuisance taxes, which fell
upon everything used by father,
| mother. sister and sonny.
I'VE have been able TO reduce all in
come taxes. SO that for every one
| they are less. for example, than those
! paid in the British Isles. The addi-
! tional income tax exemptions have
reduced by about third the tax of
the family man with an income of
50 900 a year or less.> We not only
have reduced the total sum of federal
taxation by about a billion dollars a
year, but we have reduced it to such
a point that the government of the
United States collects from its citi-
zens. per capita, about one-third as
much as does the government of
Great Britain.
since Warren Harding became
President the increase in the value
of liberty bonds, which have gone
to par. amounts to about three billion
dollars.
