Hammond's 3rd baseman was very lonesome, only one base runner came to see him and he was there with the ball to greet him. Hammond's battery, Donahue and Eder, did great work, putting a man on the bench whenever they deemed it necessary. The Hammonds are booked with some of the best teams of Chicago. They are there with the goods and can finish as fast as any team. Yager Don't Want Berry Dishes.

MAIN DIVISION HEADQUARTERS Of Michigan Central Rail road To Be Moved From Michigan City LOCATED NEAR HAMMOND Will Mean Building Of Finest Car Shops This Wealthy Road Can Devise The growing importance of Hamas a railroad center is again emphasized by the part the Michigan Central, the railroad which was once so big a thing in Hammond that the builders of this city disregarded the efforts of the compass to point North and South, East and West and built the first additions with streets runparallel to its tracks, is now to claim its own and remove its shops to this city from Michigan City where for years they have been one of the main industries of the town. It has been generally known for some time that the Michigan Central was intending to build their yards East of this city but only recently has the fact become known that the division head-quarters are to be mo ved from Michigan City and located here involving the building of enor mous machine shops and making it necessary for conductors, brakemen, engineers and firemen to live in Ham mond. While the division headquarters are at Michigan City it is necessary to make a change of engines and train crews for the short run of sixty miles to Chicago. By the new arrangement all trains will run through to Hammond which will then be the real terminal of the road and here dummy engines wil be attached to the trains to com plete the run into the city.. As reported in these columns sev eral days ago, as soon as the contract with the Illinois Central runs out the Michigan Central will make ar rangements to run into the city at the LaSalle St. Station. This and other things that are transpiring every day show the inactivity and eternal alertness that seems to characterize the moof all the roads entering Chicago from the East.

BIG YARDS AT GIBSON

Work Half Done On The Biggest Yards In The West CAPACITY 7,000 CARS Car shops, Round Rouses, Power House and Machine Shops to Employ Many The Indiana Harbor railroad which is technically known as the Chicago, Indiana & Southern railis following the lead of the Erie, the Monon and the Wabash in building its yards near this city. The fact that Hammond is so near Chicago and has the added adof five belt lines makes it the logical location for freight yards running through the city. The Indiana Harbor road realized this when it bought the big tract of land near Gibson some time ago and began the building of the largest gravity yards in the West. Work on the new yards is about half done but the filling and track laying is progressing so rapidly that they will be ready for service by September 1. The yards will have a capacity of 6 or 7 thousand cars and is built according to the most modern and up to-date methods. What is more important-machine shops, round houses and power houses will be built here and the number of men employed will be equal to a new industry for Ham mond. Contrary to the general impres sion, the Indiana Harbor railroad is not to be for freight only, there are already two passenger trains in operation between here and Dan ville leaving both Chicago and Danearly in the evening and mak ing connections at both points with all trains. After July 1st, two more passen ger trains are to be put on to run over the same division in both directions and will leave the terminal poins at about 8 o'clock in-the morn ing. Connections will also be made at Schneider, the junction of the Kankakee division of the road for all points East and West. A sleeper is to be put on to Cairo soon and if the plans of the company work out as they are expected to, the Indiana Harbor road will be the Illinois Central of Indiana.
