The residents say that the boys throw at the trains and miss them and the stone goes through one of the windows In the houses nearby. About twenty windows were broken in the past month and the people are getting so dlscusted that they now demand police protection, and catch the urchans who throw the stones. However, they do not miss all of trains. Frequently a missile goes through one of the car windows to the great consternation of passengers Ball Team Reorganizes.

"The Ttajah of Bhong," a musical comedy with half a dozen clever come- j dians and comediennes, a good looking chorus Introducing some catchy song numbers and new stage novelties, came to the Calumet theater Thursdayight for a three days' stay and delighted the audience. The piece is .uproariously funnsy and very neatly presented. It might be i trmed a "Jungle musical extravaganza" ' and in this respect It resembles the "Isle of Bong Bong" and several other of the LaSalle theater successes. Louis' Powers as Izzy Cohen, the i Hebrew airship Inventor, who mas querades as the Kajah, is a scream. Arthur Kherns is a Dutch comedian of ability and his stunt of leading the or chestra and quartette put the house in an uproar. Carolyn Lilia as Minerva Hargreaves, the prima donna, is a very sweet singer. a pretty girl and a good actress. Petite little Marie Hylands. the soubrette, appeared to good advantage and sang several songs in a manner that elicited much applause. There are twenty song numbers and among the big hits are "My Flower of the South," "Won't You be By Honey," "Nothing Doing" and "My Little Chickasaw." The famous Bhongelese chorus scored heavily last night. The chorus appear ed in several Intricate dances and for- I mation numbers which were decidedly ! good. All In all, "The Rajah of Bhong" is a clever musical play and the laughs came thick and fast. It is deserving of a big.patronage during its engagement at the Calumet. Where THE TIMES May Be Had.

'Olsky" Leverenz, the smiling southpaw of last year's Alma Maters, left

today for Hartford, Conn., where he will join the Hartford team, who are Just starting out on their training trip through the eastern states. Before leaving South Chicago the entire last year's Alma Mater team accompanied him to the train and wished him the best of luck. There Is no doubt but what "Olsky" will make good, as he stood up against some of the best semi-pro hitters In the city league last year and during the whole season no batter succeeded in getting more than a two bagger from his curves. One of Comlskey's representatives while looking for good material watched Leverenz perform and not being able to offer him a berth this year, turned him over to the Eastern leag uers. Young Leverenz Is only 21 years old and has been active in athletic sports since a youngster. The local fans, although sorry to lose him, hope to see him show the easterners a few fine points about the game.
