All signs fail In dry weather but a red nose. Crown Point Wins. The Crown Points were victorious ovsr the Ripmores of Chicago yesterday afternoon, by a score of 8 to 6. A good crowd was present in spite of the excessive heat, and although, the game was In some respects minus the profeelsonal characteristics of the two previous games there was enough good baseball instilled Into the nine innings to make the contest interesting to the spectators. The visitors had a shade the better of the argument when it came to playing good ball and only by a batting rally in the seventh inning was Crown Point able to overcome the lead of the visitors. The local players showed an appreciable lack of practice, and possibly owing to ths hot weather an apparent lack of customary ginger was noticed In yesterday's game. Defeat Valpo at Tennis. In the tennis match between the Valparaiso and Crown Point players on Saturday the latter team was victorious by a neat margin, winning from the Porterites" at every stage of the contest. Those defending Crown Point colors were Julius Oriesel, Prof. Curtis. It is said that the local players will match their skill with the Gary knights of the racquet and net In the near future. The children's day exercises at the Methodist church last evening were attended by a big audience, who enjoyed the varied program of numbers by the young folks of the church.

In spite of tffe hot day and dusty condition of the roads, Chicago autoIsts made the trip to Crown Point and over the race course in force ys,terday, and Main street was alive with machines from early morning until late in the evening. The autoists claim Crown Point and around the Cobe cup course an, ideal century run and many make the trip from four to half a dozen times during a season. Farmers in Lake county, report the necessity for rain and say that unless showers are general in Lake county during the coming week that great and possibly irreparable damage will result to the growing- crops. The great heat of the last two or three days has dried things up to such an extent that fain seems absolutely necessary at an early date to raise anything like favorable crops next fall. The local K. of P. lodge held their memorial exercises yesterday afternoon and a. goodly number marched in rank to the cemetery to decorate the graves of departed Pythians with flowers. Impressive memorial exercises were held at the cemetery. Harry Nicholson reports that he met with his first automobile accident yesterday by trying to knock a rig off the road. To a certain degree he was successful, both machines and outfits birvg eomewhat damaged and in need of repairs. Several Crown Point citizens will make the trip to Oary today to see the sights of the steel town, with a trip through the mammoth steel plant as the curtain raiser of the day's enjoyment and sight-seeing. Those composing the party will be Messrs. Peter Fagen, G. Bartholomae, Will Heintz and Henry Aulwurm. It is reported that Harry Le Claire has resigned his position in the auditor's office and will leave this week for Chicago, where he has secured employment. The "Black Maria" from Gary made its regular trip here Saturday with a batch of prisoners from the steel town. A good stone pile, with a background of several balls and chains , and thel necessary tools to work on- the Job,) would no doubt tend to check the crlm- j Inal tendencies of the criminal elect' of the city.

Stand erectand see it as it isthe greatest of investments. The State of California has within two years stepped to the front as the greatest oil producing state in the Union and a late official estimate of the volume of oil exisiting in California made by the United States Geological Survey places, the amount at a minimum of FIVE BILLIONS OF BARRELS, and the maximum of EIGHT AND A HALF BILLION barrels of Crude Oil (of 42 gallons each) contained within the oil area of the State, and the figures under that heading are equal to 50 per cent of the total supply of the crude oil known to exist in the entire United States, making California the leading oil producer of the world for the area in which oil is found. The Geological Survey Department of the Government finds that the oil deposits of the State lie in great beds or lakes, remarkable for their richness, and extreme depth of sand, which have proven the wealth of similar deposits elsewhere. At this time the total production of crude oil in California amounts to about four million barrels per month; and the remarkable fact is that the demand keeps well apace with the present and all increased supply.

FIFTH AVE.

EfflSIO That the stories of great building activity for the present year in Gary are not ephemeral is instanced anew j by the fact that orders have gone forth that Fifth avenue shall be extended east beyond its present bounds, for a distance of over two miles, to Aetna, and the roads which communicate with Miller and the outside world. Work on this extension will be commenced immediately and the paving completed this year. Hitherto Gary has suffered from means of adequate outlet for teams and ether traffic and this extension will very materially add to the convenience of. those who travel upon the roads. The hearts of automobillsts also will be gladdened by the knowledge that they will now have an almost direct road to Indianapolis and the south without having to take the circuitous routes now used.1 Not the least satisfactory aspect of the extension of Gary's second important street will be the fact that it will bring o the markets here the greenstuffs dear to the heart of the housekeeper. Hitherto Gary has been inaccessible to the farmers and truck raisers of Hobart township and Porter county. The route by which they were compelled to Gary to Gary was so circuitous and round-about tbat they were obliged to seek a market elsewhere. Under the new conditions they will find Gary their nearest and best market. This will result in a consequent material advantage to the dealers and shoppers of the city. When Fifth avenue is extended west to the Wtbash railroad, which bounds the new subdivision in that direction, it is expected that the plans for a tunnel under the tracks, which have been considered for some time, will be put ino effect. This will give another outlet as the avenue will then be extended at some time, probably in the spring of next year, to the Clark road, which runs north and south. By these connections the city will have an almost complete boulevard system and hv reartv ncrpM tr all those nortions of the county which will some day be either a part of the city proper or its suburbs. Many people have had their eyes upon property on, or adjacent to, Fifth avenue, and are predicting that it will be the principal business street, after Broadway, of the city. Its great length will afford room for greater building activity than that of Broadway, and there is no doubt of the fact that a number of smaller - Industries I which would not be unsightly, on the I city's streets will be located thereon. By the plans now made public Fifth avenue will have a length of about five miles and will make it not only the most impoftant east and west thoroughfare of the city, but one of the most imposing avenues of the state. Picture an avenue this length lighted and paved as Broadway now is and it is easy to conceive the future city beautiful that Gary will be. A FEW DIMES FOR CAR FARE OR POSTAGE IF YOU'RE ANSWERING ADS.

RAIL MILL 8,000 H P. MOTOR OUT

One of the heaviest losses at the Gary steel plant came about on last Friday afternoon, as reported in The Times, when the rail mill was closed dow nfor a period oiiftjr hours on account of the burning out of the big 8,000 horse power induction motor which furnishes the mtive power. The rail mill has ben in continuous operation for over a year and this is the first time that the rail mill has bee,n down, except for minor repairs. Not alone was operations in the rail mill hampered but blast furnace No. 11 was closed down temporarily as it was a question as to how soon the damage could be repaired. The big motor "burned out shortly after 3 o'clock last Friday afternoon and it was 7 o'clock last night before the new filled coils were replaced. R. W. Cousins, superintendent of the electrical department, and R. C. Lord of the General Electric company, re malned in the rail mill from the time of the breakdown of the motor until the damage was repaired. Although it is not known what the total loss will be, it is said that the burning out of the motor and the shut down of the rail mill will cause the heaviest loss ever occurring in the lo cal plant. MUCH CASE APPEALED The case of the city of Gary vs. Rich ard Much, which involves the condemn ation of certain property to make pos sible the carrying on of the improve ments which have been inaugurated in Gary, came up in the appellate court Saturday and the appellee filed a pe tition for time and the consent of the appellant. The case was appealed from the Lake circuit court. Much has a little strip of property on the site of the Kirk yards and re fused to sell. It was found necessary to condemn the property and the case has been pending in the courts ever since. IS JTHE MAN WHO OUGHT TO BUT TOUR PROPERTY HARD TO FIND? IF HE IS JUST TRY AN AD IN THE TIMES.

RECEIVES FIRST COMMUNION

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 20. Elaborate ceremonies were held yesterday in connection with the receiving of first communion by a large clas at the St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic church. The class comprised eighteen boys and twenty-four girls and in addition to the communion services and all that accompanied them, there were exercises in the afternon on the church grounds, in which the highest honors were conferred on four graduates of the parochial school, who were given diplomas emblazoned with the gold seal of the dioceasan examiner, and gold medals to boot. The children thu3 honored were Stanislaus Wleklinski, Thomas Kasprzyk, Bertha Kula and Helen Jaracz. These children are all entitled to enter the high schools with further examination. The proceedings commenced with the formation of the procession at the parochial school, Forsyth avenue and One Hundred and Fiftieth street. It marched from there to the church, which faces Magoun avenue, the procession being headed by the American flag, a band of GARY SCHOOLS 10 KEEP RIGHT OfJ Instead of the usual vacation gloom and quiet the Gary schools will hum with activitv during the summer months. Supt. Wirt has laid p!ans that ; will, keep a large number of the teach- j ers here all summer and tempt many of the children of Gary Into being! pleasantly and usefully employed in ' the period usually devoted to play and idleness- s j It Is proposed to devote these months to tiie study of construction and manual training. There will be both practical and theoretical work in these departments, and attention will also be given to the study of art. ! Jt is expected that probably twenty ' members of the present teaching staff will remain, and a number have already been, engaged for the work ; Among these are Messrs. Wulfing, Erickley and En gel and the Misses Lull, Huff and Munsch. Attention will also be given to domestic science and the teachers themselves instructed ln the culinary arts. The innovation is an experiment of the energetic superintendent's and the result will be awaited with great interest. The scholars are delighted with the prospect and are expected to benefit greatly from the instruction which could not well be given them in the regular terms. These branches of stydy and work will be given some of the outlying schools as well as the Emerson school Another innovation proposed m tho schools is that of teaching on Satur days. At these classes-the teachers rwho are not occupied with scholars will

gain instruction in such departments as domestic science. art. etc. Ths teachers engaged in th4 summer work are thus to put in rwelvc months r,t four weeks each and are to have a

Mat tern '06 was next to respond with "The Alumni Association as a Social Factor." Miss Mattern decided that the alumni ought to be more of a social factor In our city than it is at . present, and suggested gathering of more than once a year, at the banquet. Melville Brenner '09 toasted "Our Graduates," and made a big hit with his funny stories and predictions. Supt. John C. Hall concluded the program with a heart to heart talk. This too was extemporaneous but was very fine and much enjoyed. Mr. Hall's folk was much In connection with the new high school, and he told of the various ways in which the members of the association may aid in making the high school a success. At the banquet in 1909, Mr. Hall told about the new high school, and showed the members a picture of the prospective school. Now their fondest hopes are realled, and according to Mr. Hall's prophecy the banquet this year was held ln the new building. After this the members repaired to Goebel's hall, where a dancing party was held, the music for which was furnished by Ulster and Walsh, of Hammond. The alumni banquet was the closing of a series of events ln connection with the commencement week, in Whiting, and was a fitting climax, for the banquet was pronounced a hummer by all in attendance. fifteen pieces, composed of members of St. Stanislaus' Men's society and the banners of the various Polish societies. St. Michael's society was represented in the procession by 25 members, St. Stanislaus' Men's society by 120 members, the Young Men's organization t 0, while the Married Women's Rosary society marched seventy strong and the young ladies to the number of forty marched first in the procession. The communicants were each accompanied by a youngter attendant, carrying their flowers and their candles. The high mass commenced at 8:15 o'clock and following this first communion was received by the class. At 3 p. m. following the vesper services and before the benediction the communicants- were given their scapulars and medals of tha Blessed Virgin and renewed their baptismal vows. After the benediction, on the lawn, the diplomas and medals were conferred on the graduates of the school. The band played continuously and the festival was one long to be remembered by those in whose behalf it was given. short . vacation of four weeks, which will be divided between the summer period and that usual at Christmas time.
