OTTO KLEfilPEREB MKESloT SPEECH TO H. II. I CLUBf.lEH

IIMIOIIO NEWS

In a speech, red-hot and to the point. Otto Klemperer denied, In a special called meeting of its members last night, that the Hammond Athletic as- . sociation had blundered in incurring such liabilities as it has. The large Investment of the club in taking on Itself a year ago a large rental, heavy expense in fitting and equipping Us gymnasium and its recent venture In giving all its members the services of a first-class physical director, was but ordinary business sagacity. In the establishment of any plant there is always a- large outlay without immediate return. We have now privileges to offer members that. make $3 'admission fee and $1 for monthly dues' look like a winning proposition. However, all this outlay calls for earnest backing on the part of the membership. Thus the chairman of the membership committee, Otto Klemperer, pre

sented the committee's plan for a sixty-day campaign for a total membership of 600. Such a membership would mean privileges going with membership in the Hammond Athletic association excelled by no athletic association in Indiana and would rank us with the best in Chicago. The plan was unanimously and enthusiastically approved by the meeting, and the movement was Immediately organized into the Boosters' club league, composed of nine teams, with their captains, as follows: .Gibson, Dick Farrell; Simplex, Curley Goehringer; Standard lst), Ed. Mason; Standard (2nd), George' Love; Business and Professional Men, F. E. Rinehart, resigned in favor of Theo. Moore; South Side Factories, Charles Rhode; North Side Factories, Harry Morganau; Railroad Men, Nick Connelly; then, for those stil lleft out, the Pirates, Hoop Heiser; each member of which is supposed to "look it," at least, to members of other teams. However, they are all supposed to make inroads , on the territory of other teams. Such captures will be great .trophies, and figure in bulletins that will be dis

played In certain shop windows, and the daily press. i There will be prices for all members of the winning team, who qualifies by securing at least one new member. The members getting the largest, list of new members will receive a year's dues; the second largest, six months' dues, and the third largest, three months dues. All members are expected to volunteer on some team. The boosters will give a banquet on the 29th of April to qualified members of all the teams and to the new members. AH others must beg the privilege and pay well to attend the banquet or take to the lunch counter. Tfce

ANNEXATION STORY STIRS UP TOWN (Continued from Page 1.) mayor claims that he has known of the proposition for a month. That is probably true, for it has been "on tap" for at least that long. And one of the most amusing things about the whole proposition la the fact that the idea was suggested to the East Chicago authorities by a wellknown democratic lawyer of Hammond. That gives something of an idea of the beautiful harmony that prevails in the democratic party in Hammond. The prospect of Hammond's being annexed by East Chicago was the principal topic of conversation in Hammond last night. The opinion generally expressed that annexation is desirable and that it did not make any difference whether East Chicago gobbled up Hammond or Hammond gobbled up East Chicago. W ho Will Gobble Firat. It has been suggested that if Mayor Becker thought that annexation is in

evitable that he might hold a meeting of the council and take in East Chicago

while it was contemplating doing the anaconda stunt with Hammond.

There are several reasons why he could not do this. In the first place he has seven republican alderman to eight democrats. The republicans would not follow Becker's lead in thi3 matter, and it would .take three readings to pass an annexation measure. In East Chicago it would take only one under a suspension of the rules. And then it is known that Becker is opposed to an

nexation for good political reasons and some alleged other reasons. So it looks as though Hammond would be the gobbled and East Chicago the gobbler. East Chicago thinks that it has as good as got Hammond's an-

Igora already. ....

Xt to send each team owner a league pocket edition of the National association agreement of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues.

the Green line's proposition and they are especially friendly to the Green line for the reason that the people of East Chicago want to see the Green line built through to Indiana Harbor. It may be said to be Just about a settled fact that the Green line will get the franchises it asksfor In East Chicago. It also seems to be just about settled that the Gary Be Interurban line will get its franchise from the friendly administration in Hammond. If both are granted exclusive franchises there will be a deadlock, for the reason that the Green line will not be able to go any farther south than the East Chicago-Hammond corporation line, and the Gary and Interurban line will not be able to go any farther north than the Hammond-East Chicago corporation line. AVI IX HAVE TO COMPROMISE. In view of the fact that the Hammond-East Chicago corporation line crosses Forsythe avenue at one of the Jumping off places of the earth, neither

of the franchises would do the com

gave opportunity for a great play of the voice and elegant gestures. There was climax after climax, needing enthusiasm and imagination stronger than displayed by Miss Carter to make the declamation perfect, but taking every

thing into consideration, she did well enough to deserve the prize awarded her. Miss Beatrice Eisner, winner of the third prize, in delivering her declamation, "The Blue and the Gray," Had a subject which had in a way been covered In earlier declamations of the evening, for the speakers of last night evinced quite a penchant for the military heroes. Because of this, her subject had lost its freshness, but her delivery was pleasing and added new interest to the subject. Others Were DfnrrrUK.

There should have been five prizes, for both Edele Dunbar, whose subject was "The Southern Soldier," and Constance Gustafson with the subject, "What the Flag Means," were deserving of prizes fortheir efforts. Judge John O. Bowers, Superintendent C. M. McDaniel and Miss Alta Adkins were the Judges. According to a section of the constitution they award the prizes according to the lowest figure, their judgment being based on delivery alone. Their grades last night were as follows: B. McD. Miss A.
