Q TOWN AND CITY

NEWS OF THE COUNTY SEAT

About That Ball Game. Crown Pointers -who read the article In a certain Hammond sheet In which it gives the Hammond version of the basketball fame, played here on Saturday night, were amused at the cock and bull story. The most amusing part of the whole article is where it says that Hammond did not think It worth while to win the contest In such a hall, or dry-goods box. Anyone present at the game and witnessing the frantic efforts of manager, coach and the entire team to stem the tide of defeat, will ponder well before letting the article sink deeply, and the greatest proof that the Hammond basketball team, wanted to win, and was cock sure that it would win, which facts are apparent to all un

biased lovers of sport, is in the fact that the visiting team practiced before the spectators, that "were packed like sardines" in the hall, for over twenty minutes, without a word said about the hall, and that the team, played the first half of the game, of twenty-minute duration in the roughest and most aggressive fashion. The accusation that the Crown Tolnt five had Intentionally hire the hall for the express purpose of defeating Hammond, is a calumny that should not go unpunished and the Hammond team owes it to Crown Point to stifle such base slander. Owing to circumstances, partly financial and otherwise, the Crown Point team has been compelled to use the hall, during the season and have played all their scheduled games there, win

ning and losing to various teams, long

before the Hammond team was ached

uled to play and certain members of, the Hammond five were fully aware of j the condition of the hall before the game was agreed upon. As to Crown Point not claiming the game or the state championship, as far as the Hammond five is concerned, the local five is entitled for the honors, as every true lover of fair play and sportsmanship, whether in Hammond or Crown Point, will agree. Had Hammond refused to play or start the game, nothing would have been said, and the Crown Point team, on the face of things, would have had to submit to the conditions. In times gone by, when athletics were not given the prominence they are now, the high school black board used to have written upon it the old motto, familiar to many, "The greater the difficulty the more glory In surmounting" and had Hammond's team gone Into the game, accepting the conditions as they

were, win or lose, and completed the game, with all the difficulties of the hall, etc., to contend with, they would have won the respect of all the assembled spectators. As for the severing of athletic relations between the two schools. It could not work much more harm than has already been done, and the quibbleing and unsportsmanlike tactcs practiced by the high school teams will hurt the interest in future contests irremediably.

also the paper on King Christian, prepared and readby Mrs. Julia Vilmer. A new street Is liable to be added to Crown Point, running parallel with East street from Joliet street to South street, providing most of the property owners on the east side of Ea6t street are willing to petition for It. The ball has already been started rolling and it will add many pretty residence lots to that section of the town. Harry Nicholson entertained several of his friends at a stag supper yester

day evening and what they all did to the beef-steak, etc., would make a long article. Those enjoying Harry's hospitality and culinary capabilities were: Will Hardley, Maurice McKenzie, Chas.
