It's an ideal day for the fans and they are looking forward to the opening of the steel company's new $30,000 ball park with great anticipation. As but very few people are employed at the mills on Saturday afternoon the employes will turn out en masse and attend the game. Not alone this, but the fans in the city proper will be strongly represented, so that a big crowd is looked for.

ODD NAMES IN COURT. Mike Sew has brought an action against the Green Engineering Co. through attorney Paul McClosky in which he seeks damages for injuries he is alleged to have received when a pile of brick ' fell and he lost one of his fingers as a result. Speaking of unusual names Hammond has enough of them to afford picking for B. L. T. for some time. A few days ago Will Standback figured Jn a law suit In the ' Lake Superior court It is also a strange fact that Christ Joseph should have started suit against John Apostal. As remarked before William . Northpole runs a saloon on the south side in Hammond and residing in this city are two men. one of whom is named Allnut and the ether Nutall.

E. CHICAGO
(Special to The Times.)
East Chicago. Ind.. Msy 20. Politics is Just as much alive today in East Chicago as it ever was during a hot mayoralty campaign. There are all kinds of rumors in the air, the most
important one of which is the talk of
abolish the office of comptroller.
This design was first talked of fol
lowing the indictment of the city offl
cials, and the outcome of the Albert
Lewis trial has given It fresh Impetus
In case the case now pending against
Mayor A. G. benueker, should go against the executive', it would be the means of boosting Into the mayoralty chair, the city comptroller, Thomas
Phillips.
While Phillips is a popular young
man, and has no bitter political enemies he is too young in years and
two young in politics, for the loca
powers that be to consider in the light of mayor at the present time. It would
require the vacating of the office
which would have to be done by action
of the city council, in order to elimin
ate Mr. Phillips from the field. With
the comptroller out of it it would be up
to the city council to name a man for
the office of mayor.
Just who the council, or any of its members, have in mind has not been
given out, in case circumstances should so shape themselves as to necessitate
the appointment.
Then there is the question of a police
chief in case the motion for a new trla
entered by Chief Lewis is denied. Re
garding a successor to Chief Lewis,
Mayor Schlieker denies that he has
given the matter any serious consid
eration. However, he said that Serg
eant Leo McCormick would occupy the
office of chief at least temporarily
until he was able to make up his mind
