Wa are now ready to assure baseball lovers of Hammond that, while we may not have teams from Michigan City, Berrien Springs, or Mie, we will have teams from the Chicago Park Owners' association. aiso sucn teams as the Cherokee In-. dians, the Nebraska Indians, the Un ion Oiants, the Cuban Stars and oth er traveling clubs. Beside these special star attractions we will have such teams as Valparaiso, Crown Point, La- towns, Asnaan- porte, Plymouth, and. if Indiana Hr vine, Goshen and Elkhart in Indiana, i bor and rcst pmoa i.

averaging over 100 miles away, and two Michigan towns the same distance away, the proposal lost its Interest for many reasons not necessary to give. Such a circuit takes from us all the advantage that comes from the drawing power of local rivalry, except In the one case of Gary. The action of the directors in voting against the proposal was unanimous and heartily concurred in by the chairman of the athletic committee, Walter Sohl and the manager of "baseball, Charles B. Ketch -elL Doesthls action mean that "Hammond will become a minus quantity in the baseball world of northern Indiana, as it ''has' been for the past A eight years?" The records will show that for the past eight years Hammond ranked with the best. Goshen and Elkhart knew Hammond's record, doubtless, when they picked Hammond for the league.

But are we to be a minus quantity in baseball in the future? Not to those on the inside of ponea, tney will furnish us another team that will be a greater attraction to Hammond than any other team in Ka 1 1 3 I me icubuo cuuiu dc, wiin tne possible exception or uary. The arrangements make gives us the advantage of a preponderance of home games. In the league we would be away from home every other Sunday. We are safe in saying that we will put In the field tnis year the best team that has ever represented Hammond. We believe the proposed league will be a good thing for baseball, and teams in it ought, at least, to pay expenses.

But for the H. a. a. independent baseball is the best for us. until interest will justify a league c6mposed of 'teams from Gary, Indiana.

With the testimony of one witness, an Inmate of the resort, who said she was not sure that Bough pointed the revolver at his wife, the Jury was compelled to retire. A Dlsgrnating; Scene. One of the most disgusting and loathsome scenes was enacted when Bough was placed on the stand. With his eyes Bulging from their 8ckets, his head swaying in drunken stupor, his unshaven face and general unkempt appearance. Bough uncoherently admitted that he had been drunk for nine days strai -t and had no knowledge that he ever pointed a revolver at his wife.

"While Bough's remarks caused mirth among some in the court room, his ap-perance was so disgusting and loathsome that many people left the room. Prosecutor Ridgely, who acted in Mr. Hodges' behalf during his abence. severely grilled Bough in making his arguments to th(Jury. He for the maximum fine and penalty be imposed upon him for the welfare of the community.

"The Better for Gary." "The idea of a man of this calibre who has admitted that he was so drunk that he knew nothing for nine days, being allowed to carry a revolver and threaten the citijens of this city, is an outrage that ought not to be allowed. Bough's past history In Gary Is enough to convict him and the sooner he is put in a place of confinement the better it will be for the citizens of Gary." In making his charge to the Jury it coudr be seen that Judge Wildermuth was in favor of imposing a heavy fine on Bough, yet the Jury saw fit to let Bough escape punishment with a few dollars' fine.

When I gave my views in favor of such an institution, I gave them at the soli- euaiion of the times, and what I said then I adhere to now," said City Judge Fred Barnett today, when shown an article in a local paper discrediting the stand that Judge Barnett had taken. "I did not want to raise an issue as you known, because The Times was the first to approach me on the subject. I did not claim that I was advocating anything new.
