CUMBERLAND LODGE MEMBERS

Will Spend s 1,000 to Convert Lake County Clubhouse Into Auto Club. Cumberland Lodge, located' on the Kankakee river, is to become an “end of the tour” automobile club. For. years it has been run as a hunt-* ing and fishing club, but it has become so accessible from Chicago and Hammond by automobile that the decision was reached to make it a club of automobile owners. The club owns a large building, equipment and fifteen acres of land, and its members now propose to spend between $3,000 and $4,000 on a water pumping plant and on a garage. At the meeting Wra-t was held recently new officers were elected and the initiation fee was raised from SSO to $45-0. The club has excellent prospects for the coming year.

Was Badly .Injured at Railroad Crossing Two Months Ago. word comes from Chicago concerning the condition of Dr. Allen.

Information received yesterday was t° the effect th »t he could probably not survive more than a couple of days. The surgeon in charge holds out no hope whatever for his recovery. No direct , word from the hospital has been received in Kentland this morning, but indirect information from friends in Sheldon indicate that the end may be expected at any time.

'Dr. Allen was », Injured nine weeks ago this morning, and never during that time has he been rational for more than a flashing moment at a time. Misfortune has followed him ever since he located in Kentland, and 'Mrs. Allen has the deepest sympathy of all in her tame of trouble.—Kent'band Enterprise.

At the Athletic Association meeting Sunday morning Clifford Reed, Walter Reineck, Charles McArdle, Herold Moran, Leo Birkineier and James Whitcomb were chosen Board of Directors for the. present term. Edward Shields was appointed director of the Rooters’ Club. Monticello 24 St. Joseph’s 17. On Friday last the'varsity traveled to Monticello to reap Its second defeat of the season. The Moriti“Ceilo high school boys were in fine shape as also were the collegians. Both teams being determined to win brought out a very fast game. That the home team has a great advantage in being accustomed to the hall told greatly in favor of the high school boys. It wtas especially the rather low ceHing that hampered the high pass work of the visitors. The college boys were the first to score and maintained their lead throughout the first half which ended 12 to 13 in their favor. In the second half with their best endeavors they suceeded in capturing only two field goals, Deery and Mc-Ardle, whileMhe locals were doubling their score. In’spite of the defeat the players enjoyed the trip,, particularly because of the hospitable treatment accorded them by the high school officials, and all the people of the city with whom they came in contact.

The line-up: St. Joseph’s St. Viator Beckman rs Bergan Deeiry If • Donly McArdle c Fisher ‘Moran rg Lawler Winter Ig >■. Gordon rg Duffy Refferee, Reed. Umpire, Jacobs. Above all games this is the game that the locals were determined to win. That was tihe spirit with which they entered the contest and faithfully maintained to the last moment. Throughout it was a fast and hard game, far even w|th a sure victory in sight, a larger score would give a greater satisfaction as this is the first game that St. Joseph’s has taken from bhe Viatorians since the two institutions entered, athletic relations two years ago.

The locals, were the first to score, and continued at very regulabut. short Intervals to boost the total by twos. The scoring of the bver-stiate boys was a regular, but the Intervals were of amply sufficient duration never to place the game in doubt after the first ten minutes of play. Fisher at center was bhe inartipular attraction for the visitors. Every one of the varsity played a stellar part: Beckman captured 16 points, McArdle 15 and Deery 2; whereas Moran and Winter by their excellent work as guards hindered the visitors In getting points. Edward Shields, the newly appointed “yell master” directed the rooting with good effect while the band entertained the audience in the several interruptions with enthusiasm-producing selections.

COP BOUGHT PEACE

DIPLOMACY THAT .ENDED INTER- ‘ NATIONAL DISPUTE. Battle Between Sightseeing and Excited Tara Ended by Policeman’s Intervention and the Presentation of a Dime; A sailor from a British ship stood in Broad street the other morning gazing at the towering buildings, the New York Sun says. Moved by the thoughts which arose In him he ret marked to the world at large: “We could stand off your bloomin’ 'Ook and smash these ’ere while we was tykin’ ’ea." A sailor from an American warship cruising without much seeming purpose overheard the remark, drew up alongside the speaker and said: "You couldn’t hit the whole state of New York if y4u had smooth water and all day to And your range." “Several people stopped; a policeman drew near. “Why not?’’ asked the Britisher. “Because of that,” responded the Yankee. . “That” was a well-directed blow which landed on the Briton's chin and which drew a.jcounter equally well aimed at the Yankee's chin. Neither was very swift, possibly because of a certain degree of fatigue noted in both sailors produced by over-indul-gence In sightseeing. r The policeman took each sailor by a shoulder, shoved one north and one south and said: “G’wan!" The sailors g’waned a little, but, moved by a common purpose, circled the officer and presently had exchanged blows again. The patient cop again separated and launched them In opposite directions, but now he kept an eye on their ’ movements. Seeing them, with an exhibition of his own degree of patience, ' again coming to close quarters he intervened. "See here,'' ladri," he said holding them apart, “you must g’wan." "I can knock-his block off,". the Yankee declared. “Hl’d be doin’ soine’nt w’lle 'e's doing that," declared the Briton. “You don’t want me to run you in,” the copper urged. “Go back to your ships.” < “I’d go, but I 'aven’t a tuppence in me trousers for the tube,” said the Briton. “And I haven’t a nickel in my jeans for carfare, neither,” the Yankee said. The copper sighed softly, produced i two nilckels and gave each sailor one. The tars locked arms and swung off , toward the Wall street underground station. ' i “I say, Jack, your bobbies are a proper sort,” remarked the Briton. “You bet your life they are,” responded the Yankee. i ■
