They are not apt to remain but a few days and hunters are getting busy and bagging large numbers of these fine little game birds. A number of the St. Joseph students accompanied the varsity base hall team to Kankakee, 111., today to play at St Viator. This is their first game of the season. St. Joe believes that they have a strong aggregation this year and have scheduled several home games. The first game played here will be with Cathedral College, of Chicago, May 6th. John A. Dunlap and W. H. Parkison went to Cedar Lake today on business as attorneys for Ray Day in his suit brought against the Cedar Lake saloon keepfer.
