Manager Matt Sternberg Wants to Play in Gary or Whiting for a Purse of Four Hundred Dollars and Has the Money.
(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 24. Looking back over the baseball fiasco at Hammond last Sunday, Manager Matt Sternberg of the Indiana Harbor team is not at all satisfied with the way the game terminated, nor is he satisfied with the umpire's ruling of 9 to 0 in favor of the Hammond team. Mr. Sternberg contends that his team never left the field and was ready to play at the end of the five minutes, had the field been cleared so It was possible to continue the game. This latter proposition of clearing the field is up to the home team and if the management of that team has not provided sufficient
police protections to cope with the crowd and secure a. clear space for the game to proceed it is the duty ot the umpire to award the game to the visiting team. All that, however, is incidental to the proposition which Mr. Sternberg now makes. "Will you kindly state In your paper that on behalf of the Indiana Harbor baseball team I hereby challenge the Hammond Athletic association baseball team to play a game of ball
for a purse of ($400) four hundred dollars. ($200) two hundred dollars of the purse to be supplied by Indiana
Harbor and an equal amount to be sup
plied by Hammond. The game to be
played either in Gary or 'Whiting and
the game to be umpired by two Park
Owners association umpires, neither
one of whom lives in Lake county. The
gate receipts to be divided 60 per cent
to the winner and 40 per cent to the
loser after all expenses are paid. The same lineup as last Sunday to be used.
"MATT STERNBERG, "Manager Indiana Harbor Team."

seaman, Peter Petersen, had annoyed women passengers, the wheelsmen, according to the officer's statement, mutinied. They were put in chains and later were arrested. The men were
released because the grand jury had failed to indict them and because the chief witness. Captain Parke, had not appeared.

j The big sale .now going on at the ' Lion store attracted a great many cus
tomers from Lansing. Four bus loads
! went to Hammond Thursday morning. The farmers around Lansing are hav
ing serious trouble with their onions this year. The onions seemed to be doing excellently, but several days ago
it was noticed that the onions were covered with insects. There seems to I be no way of getting rid of the pest, and it appears that all the labor and
time spent on the onions will come to naught. Mrs. Ruff of Hammond was In town yensterday. The Ladies Aid society of the Dutch Reformed church held its monthly meeting yesterday at the home of the pastor. Little Cornell Tanls, who has been very ill for the past few months, is well on the road to recovery. Misses Lulu and Cora Ward, who are spending their vacations near South Haven, Mich., expect to return home in a few days.

Building a city within a city la Just what the 250 trail blazers are doing this summer up in the northwest sec
tion of Gary's new second subdivision. What were the woods, the sand dunes, the marshes, the scrub oaks and blasted pines of a few months ago are now the site of blocks of graded streets. On the opposite side of the Grand Calumet river what win be one of Gary'B greatest industries Is being built day by day. The good people of Clark who never heard any noise save the rumblings of a Pennsylvania freight train or the noisy waves of Lake Michigan on a windy day are now getting accustomed to the gatling gun sounds of a hundred pneumatic drill hammers, the screech of narrow gauge locomotives darting here and there with little cars of sand, the shrill I blasts' of cranes and the chug, chug of! the mammo1 clam diggers. Amlnn Bridge ProgrrM. The workers on the north side of the river are building the Gary plant of the American Bridge company. There are several hundred men there now and In a few years the word hundreds will be changed to" read thousands. Since
early winter the rough brpken sand dune country between the river and the Lake Shore tracks has been transformed into an elevated and perfectly level plane. There now stands on this plane the steel skeleton work of several mill buildings which grow higher each day. In other parts concrete foundations have been laid and others are being laid and already the first course of masonry tops the foundations of the
general offices which lie on the river banlJust west of the foot of Ambridge street. South of the river an old trail? in the woods has given place to Ambridge street which is now graded and leveled from the river south to Fifth avenue more than a half-mile distant. In the allej' west of Ambridge street Contractor Byrnes and 150 men with cranes, steam shovels and concrete mixers, are building the northwest sewer system at a cost of a million dollars. . W. Sewer System. A 90-inch concrete sewer with house connections is now laid from the river to Third avenue and a cross section is being laid on that street. Excavation
Is now under way to extend the sewer
to the alley north of Fifth avenue extended and from there It will proceed east ward for more than a mile connecting with the Fifth evenue sewer system at the western border of the first subdivision. From Fillmore street, the most westerly highway In the first subdivision and bordering the west end woods, west to the Pennsylvania tracks Fifth avenue Was been graded. When the west graded part is completed Fifth avenue will then be a paved and lighted business thoroughfare more than three miles In length.
An Imposing Street. Looking east on Fifth avenue from its Intersection with Ambridge street this eighty foot thoroughfare gives a very - imposing perspective of three miles. The nearer part Is now of
course flanked on both sides by the trees but as Fillmore street is reached, the buildings are seen and after Broadway the line of vision narrows down to a pin point. Ambridge street will cross the Grand Calumet by a very elaborate bridge. It will be the highway leading to the main gate of the American Bridge company. This street is parallel and two and one-half miles west o Broadway. Present plans call for the immediate improvement of five north and south streets with Ambridge as the center one. These Impoved streets will lie north of Fifth avenue and extend to the river. Other than these no other north and south streets will be built Just now. Fifth avenue will be the only east and west street to be improved this year. When the first section of the new second subdivision 13 completed its topographical appearance will resemble the arm of a man stretched straight out from his elbow with his fist upturned. " The body will be the first subdivision, the arm Fifth avenue and
the first that part of the second subdivision to be completed at first.
Eighteen city blocks will be Improved at the outset. There are 118 blocks
In this subdivision.
Just as soon as the directors of the United States Steel corporation make the appropriation, homes for the bridge workers win be laid In this quarter. It
Is expected that there will be thre or four hundred of them capable of
housing a population of 6,000.
The Illinois Improvement and Ballast company has the grading contracts for clearing, Fifth, Ambridge and the four
other streets. It has more than at hun dred men and several cranes and nar
row gauge trains at work. Sand from the high dunes is being transported to the foot of Ambridge street nd First avenue where it is necessary to fill In a half square mile of land near the
river bank.

(Special to Thb Times.)
Indiana Harbor, Aug. 24. Indiana Harbor's harbor will be distinguished
by a note worthy visitation on Monday,
August 29 when the Pere Marquette one of the most palatial steamships
that sails the waters of the giat lakes
will tie up at te steamer docks at the
oiasi iurnace ore qocks, to. take on
passengers for the great Inland picnic
The picnic will be one of the biggest
things of the kind- ever gotten up lo
Indiana Harbor. Fully two thousand persons are expected to attend and
everything possible will be done to give
the mill men and their wives and faml
lies good time. The picnic will be held at Michiga
City and the trip to the scene of th
festivities, aboard the magnificently
equipped Pere Marquette will be one o
the most enjoyable features of th
event. This is however but one of the
features arranged by the committee which II. C. Rutledge, secretary
Superintendent Lees, is chairman,
There will be athletic events of all kinds for which substantial prizes will
be given. The water facilities
Washington Park. Michigan City wrfere
the picnic will take place, are unex
celled. ' There will be bathing, boating
launch fides and every kind of amuse
mnt in' the park "including riding de
vices, dancing and the famous Hoosle
slide," as set forth upon circulars
which have been distributed, announcing the vent. The round trip on board the famous water palace chartered for
the occasion, will be only 50 cents, so as to be within the reach of all.' Chairman Rutledge has Issued Instructions as to how to reach the steamer, which will He at the blast furnace ore docks and will - be ready to depart at 7:00 a. m. sharp. According to these Instructions picnickers are to go down Michigan avenue directly to the Lake, past the South Bay Hotel to the gate In the Inland Steel Company's fence and thence to the boat. Michigan city will be reached at 8:30 o'clock and the return trip will be made at 4 p. m. arriving In Indiana Harbor at 5:3 0 o'clo-k. Tjunch basnets will be checked and cared for on the steame so passengers
will be relieved of these encumbrances and will be free to enjoy the boat ride to the fullest. r This is the first annual picnic given by the Inland steel company to its employes and it is expected to make It an event f yearly occurrence. A point that will be of interest Both
to merchants of Indiana Harbor and
the men at the big steel plant, is the
fact that the pay-day, which should in the natural order of things fall upon Monday, the day of the picnic, will be changed to Friday, Aug. 26. Inasmuch as Indiana Mercants association has
decreed that the stores shall remain
open In the evening on all Inland pay
days, the change in the latter for the present occasion, will cut some figure with the members of this organization as ordinarily the stores would be closed
early on Friday night.

BUFF1NGT0N ' WIAN NABBED
LAST NIGHT
(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 24. Vengeance "came slow in the case of Cela Cuton, who was arrested last evening while returning from his work at the cement plant at Bufftngton. Cuton, together with Michael "Doe," is accused of robbing and half murdering a man named Dan Opiner a year ago last May, In Hubbard, O., and Opiner, after hovering between life and death for some time,, finally recovering, swore a mighty oath to brjng his assailants to Justice If it took him the balance of his lifetime to do so. In pursuance of this idea he arrived
yesterday in Indiana Harbor, having been given a tip that the men he was looking for were living here, and swore
out warrants for the arrest of Cuton
and Mike, whose last name is un
known. The former was arrested, but the police are still looking for his com
panion in crime.
All of the parties to the affair are
Roumanians, and the arrest of Cuton
came near precipitating a Jail riot, so anxious were his friends to secure his
release.
The incident led to the arrest of Nick
Luca of Pennsylvania avenue, who was
so persistent In his endeavor to talk
to his friends after the latter had been confined in a cell, and so impu
dently defied the police to keep him
from having the desired Interview, that he was taken Into custody and booked
on a chdrge of interfering with a po
lice officer in the execution of his duty. During the evening quite a crowd of
Cuton's friends stood in front of the
Jail and said mean things about the
police. Opiner claims that on the date above set forth he was set upon and robbed in the Ohio town by Cuton and his friend' Mike, who nearly cut him to pieces. They stabbed him in many places, Inflicting several deep and dangerous wounds. He intends to secure thelf extradition and haev them returned to the scene of their alleged crime.
