THE completion Of the new Chicago
I Union Station marks a note
worthy accomplishment In the history
OF important engineering undertakings.
from which travellers from all parts OF
the United States will derive pleas
ure and benefit.
The station is without doubt one OF
the finest and most efficiently designed
railroad terminals In the world. IL
forms a vital link In the realization of
the Chicago City Beautiful Plan" Sim
pIicity, accessibility and convenience
Tor the travelling public are the essen
tial virtues Of the new, terminal. Rest
and recreation rooms, ticket offices,
barber shop. dining rooms. stores OF
various kinds. and almost every con-
yenience known 10 travellers, are TO be
found on the one level, no steps to
climb.
The main station Is a low monumen-
tai type Of building with a row OF
massive columns OF classic design
along the entire east front. Once in
side, the traveller finds himself In a
gigantic waiting room more than lu
feet high and brilliantly hghteo
through skylights In the great arcn
ceiling. Colonnades inclose the ROOM
the walls OF which are patterned after
the architecture of ancient Rome Bor-
dering this room are the ultra-eomplete

ton lines for conferences and other
meetings.
To give some Idea of the immensely
of the new station. II may be stated

Of about three acres with a concourse

tire terminal facilities cover more than
IS acres and Will expedite the prompt
and satisfactory handling OF $1,000
passengers, 400 tons Of baggage and
800 trains daily with room for future
expansion. Fifteen acres OF glass
were used In the various coverings
over the train sheds. which extend
more than 100 feet beyond the main
structure. A total Of 1900 tons Of
structural steel, 175.OOO cubic feet Of
Indiana limestone and 10000 cubic
feet Of granite were used In the sta

dation consists OF 40 cylindrical con-
crete piers from four 20 ten feet In
diameter. reaching 10 a depth OF more
than 90 feet below the level Of the
Chicago river.

SEYMOUR, Ind, March o.
FreetOwn High School, which won
the sectional basketball tourna-
ment here Saturday night in the
final against BrOwnstOwn, has
never had a gymnasium. The team
has been compelled to practice I'm
gymnasiums of other schools in
the west part Of the county. N
There Is not even hall for prac-
tice in the little hamlet, which is
located several miles from the
nearest railway. Their victory has
set the FreetOwn community on

Tense. When his team needed points
he would go down and snag a field
goal. His only field goal in the final
game came when the score was tied
at twenty all and the two points
with just few second to play were
the margin of victory. Dowden was
good all around man.
Schaefer and BabcOck would
make an ideal pair of guards, both
having size. Schaefer can take
them off the back board and break
up a dribble under the hoop. Both
were main cogs I'm their teams.
Christopher, while lacking in size,
is fighter and his basket shooting
is good. Hickman falls short of
being the calibre of Schaeie. but
ranks higher than any other play
er in the county. Gillaspie Of Broad
Ripple was power for his team and
gave Christopher a hard race for
second team honors
The players in the honorable men
ton list all have marked ability. To
make the choice the writer watched
every game of the local sectional.

Among the players who fell back,
eliminated, there were many who In
individual ability were as good as
those who made up the Shortridge
team and some who If they were on
the Blue and White squad would
probably make it a stronger machine.
Strebe Of Ben Davis was the
most finished forward In the tour
ney, his basket shooting form be-
ing perfect. He carried the brunt
Of the attack for his team.
Riggs of Manual, playing with a
weak ankle, also displayed some
wonderful basket shooting ability
from any place on the floor. Linn
bach of Warren Central was the best
foul goal shooter on the floor, and
when his team fell before Ben Davis
he kept them in the running with
eight points from the foul line. Bari
nett proved to be an excellent floor
worker who could hit the hoop when
he tried.
Spaulding stood far out above the
other centers in the tourney, and
was used most all time In the de-

the fans had been prepared to hear
1t was well known that the winners

The Martinsville fans know just
how close the Artesian City team
came to losing to Moarovia. After
the first half when the Tri State
champs were leading, 16 to g.. it
looked as though another favorite,

The athletes will be compelled to
be on their toes this week, as the
exhibition schedule opens Friday
with Iris Speakers Cleveland Ameri-
cans at Plant City. Starting today
the Tribe catchers were to go be-
hind the plate during batting prac-
tice for the first time this spring,
and Bush advised Kruger. Flor
ence and Robertson to get there"
and pep things up.
More ON Ball
With the exception Of Niles, who
Is bothered by a lame hand, and
Steele, who reported late, the pitch
ers have reached point where
they can put something dazzling on
the ball for brief stretches on the
mound. Therefore, the swatters
won't have such easy days as dur
ing the first week of work; they will
have more to guess at.
Bob Steele, veteran southpaw,
Saturday took a lengthy work
out and he displayed signs of
possessing q nifty change of
pace. This pleased Bush be-
cause IL Is q weIl-LnOwn fact In
the American Association that
smart pitcher, with a cIeverly
concealed change OF pace,
usually proves a winner.
Outfield Problem
The outfield problem is at a stand
still. Rehg and glastonbury are In
camp. but Allen remains on the
holdout list. The refusal Of Allen
to sign a contract is beginning to
get under Owner Smiths hide, and
he is threatening TO use extreme
measures in dealing with the balk-
ing outfielder.
Smith paid Cleveland $4,000 for
Outfielder Clarke, and the money
has been delivered, but it win be re-
turned If the player refuses 10 sign.
Therefore, with the refund of the
five grand Smith can step out and
try for another fielder Of class.
Maurice Deloof. rookie infield-
err, is not showing much skill In
the field, and he Is not likely to
remain long with the Indians.
Voter, the other rookie infield-
er, continues to display marked
ability. He is a clever fielder
and a rifle shot thrower, but his
batting power remains to be de-
bated.
Discussing the extra infielder
problem, from the viewpoint of a
critic, it is apparent the extra man
must be able to play first base In
an emergency in case Schmandt
would be incapacitated by sickness
or injury. Voter Is short in stature.
Therefore. bunch is felt that Man
ager Bush soon will be searching for
a new infield extra"

22 to 20, i'm the final game here.
Shortridge by It's "a to 81 victory
over Ben Davis saturday afternoon
in the semi-fna1s entered the finals
with Manual which had defeated
West Newton, 33 to 90.
The game with Manual started as
IL it might be a walk-away for the
north siders when they ran the score
to eight before Manual scored on a
foul shot by Noll.
The big Manual team then started
a rally and two long shots by Noll
from the center Of the floor, two
under the hoop shots by Martin and
a tip-in by Higgs boosted their total
to eleven. The best Shortridge could
do was to add two points on a toss
by Christopher just as the gun
cracked for the half with the score
II to 10 in Manuals favor.
AS the second half opened Turner
boosted the score for Manual with an
under-the-basket shot and Chris
topher made field goal. The game
was tied at 16-all and 19-all. With
a minute IN 90 SnauIdinr WAS
fouled by Martin and the Shortridge
player made one of the two at
tempts, breaking the tie. Schaefer
fouled Turner. however. and he
walked to the line and dropped the
tying point through. With an over
time game in the making Spaulding
took the ball. dribbled the length OF
the floor, and dropped in a field goal
just before the timers gun barked.
