THE TIMES.

BRYAN HAS NEW SCHBNE FOR PARKS

A comprehensive scheme for trans

forming the swampy valley of the Lit- - tie Calumet into a veritable fairyland by making it a state park was Riven forth at the session of the Gary Ohamof Commerce at Its meeting In the

- Gary hotel last night. LA. Ilrj an IMaiut It.

President Louis - A. Bryan, Gary's , millionaire real estate owner, most of

; whose property is tange-nt to the valley i line,. Is the father of the park plan.

j According to Mr. Bryan all that is ; Necessary Is to Invoke a dormant state statute, have the governor appoint a commission, condemn the swamp land? and Issue fifty years bonds to finance

the deaL Fifteen Mile lone.

Mr. Bryans plan is to use the fifteen

mil length of the Uttle Calumet valley form the Porter county line to the Illinois state boundary. This wouM

give it a mile breadth and county wide

length. He proposes that the first jetton be taken in the vicinity of the Tolleston Gun Club's hundred of acres. It Is estimated that the entire belt wouli

make a park area of 10.000 acres tho

land poslbly being available for $5.000,000 payable at the rate of $100,000 annually for fifty years. The plan would be to drain the valley," said Mr. Bryan, "knocking out the gun club dam and to furnish a head water at Dune Park something on th? order of the Burns ditch scheme. This would permit a lowering of the water and a reclamation of the Calumet swamps. "I am not fully posted on the. legal details but I have instructed my attorney to make a full report at once bo that I will know what the law on subject la." Pencil Factory Coming. Pursuant to a motion made and passed Mr. Bryan wa empowered to appoint a committee to look Into the matter. Many new members were reported enrolled. The Vnlversal Pencil factory committee announced that the company would locate In Gary if the freight rates from Los Angeles are guaranteed and later on the company wil return the money loaned. It is also proposed that the chamber take $1,000 worth of the company's stock. Elect Six Director. Directors from allied business lines were named last night. Those who were elected were: C. O. Holmes, Samuel Miller, K. A. Rldgley. W. A. Cain, T. W. Euie-iart and Charles D. Davidson. Officers previously diot.i are also members of the directorate The officers are: Louis A. Bryan, president; William Feder, vice president; W. G. Wright, vice, president; W. P. Patterson, secretary, and J. H. Green, treasurer. By virtue or his position President Bryan Is also chairman of the board of directors.

FIGHT TO GET THERE THE FIRST (Continued from Page 1.)

Schererville is acting on the defensive against Griffith. Griffith was not only looking toward collecting Scherervllle's saloon licenses, but was after a far bigger plum. After Hnrtadale Railroad Tarda. The Hartsdale yards are really In Scherville territory but If Griffith could have gobbled them up before Scherertlle was awake to the fact, Griffith would have added thousands of dollars worth of taxable property to Its corporation. Schererville realizes til'.r is awake to the situation. In fact the last session of the county commissioners there was a race between the two representatives of the communities to get the ear of the commissioners, but Schererville arrived there in the forenoon to state that it thought of incorporating while Griffith came In in the afternoon, to tell the county commissioners that they were desirous of taking in the Schererville territory. Unless St, John gets busy there is a possibility of it losing some of its legitimate territory to Schererville, and this probability, together with many other, reasons of advantage to the community when incorporated may hasten a step that many predict will eventualy come.

SAYS LAKE COUNTY SPORTS ARE WRONG (Continued from Page 1.)

othir aggregation of players is entitled to any credit for anything they do. The players may so far outclass those of the home team, that the latter beside them look like a bunch of klndorgartners alongside high-salaried veterans in the big leagues, but If ths visiting team wins over the home team, the boreheads who think they are de

monstrating laudable loyalty to the home team, raise a hue and cry about the game not being "on the squar-.' Here's Crown Point, yelping like a whipped schoolboy for fear Its team is net going to win the pennant. If any

other team wins it will be because the

victors are "paid more" than are the

Crown Point boys. Slurs and Insinua

tions of all sorts of villainy, are being heaped upon the league. Crown Point, because it tok a back seat for Kast

Chicago last week. Is "sore." The fans are hollering their heads off about foul play. Not being able to see beyond their own noses they seek to discredit the entire league, when without organization, baseball In Lake county

must be relegated to the Jerk-water class, out of which it should be emerging. They question the honor of the umpires by dirty insinuations which they have not the courage to back up.

If Crown Point is right In these in

sinuations, why for the love of Mike don't they take their evidence to the league officials, instead of accusing unauthoratively through the press? Why seek to poison the entire body by public insinuations which they may or may not be able to back up? Why seek to undermine the leacue and aret It "in

bad" with the entire sport-loving com

munity, small enough at best. Just be-

caust little Crown Point lost a game?

it is the same case throughout Lake

county. It begins with the knickerbockered school-boy nine, is carried up into the high school and from there in

to the semi-professional teams. It m supported by the press of the entire

county, even The Times, the most liberal of them all, displaying now and

then a more or less weak-kneed policy

along this line. Every time any dls7 guntled player, or bunch of players.

every time any set of disgruntled and

pin-headed fans get it into their noodles that there hast been foul play, and merely because the home team failed to win, almost the entire press of Lake county is on hand to publish

their cheap little fault finding. This

regardless of the irresponsibility of the

lault-nnder.

Is this the attitude for the press to

assume? Is ('this fostering good sport?

this going to encourage the local

fan to spend his money for baseball

at home, rather than take it to Chicago In order to see. professional players who can win or lose like men and

to be thrown with fans who can ap

plaud or criticize the team to whom

they owe , their allegiance, according as applause or criticism is due?

Men of intelligence get sick and tir

ed of listening to the whimperings of a lot of school boy fans and school boy players. They are weary of reading in the account published by their home papers these ill-advised "roasts" which almost always fall to the portion of visiting team If they win. or nearly win. They would rather not see the game than to be irritated by the pettish attitude thev are hrmnrl tn .n.

counter on the part of both players and audience at the local games. Let Lake

county players and fans learn to take

their medicine like men and real men will go to see their games. The quality of baseball here, with this feature eliminated, is as good as can be found

anywhere in the coutry. To those who

understand baseball and are not influ

enced by the reputation of the players,

tne games are as interesting as those

of the big leagues. The local league is

doing noble." To be sure, errors have

crept in. But these have been dealt

with as fast as they have come need no shouting from the housetops

to bring about their correction. President McAleer and Secretary Fowler

nd'the other officials, seems to have

the right idea and are deserving for all their hard work to have the suppor. rather than the abuse of all lovers of the promotion of sport.

The people might Just as well under

stand first as last, as shoulo everybody connected with the game, that Just so

long as this whining and dirty talk

"prevails. Just so long will baseball ,'n

LaKe county be a reproach and dis

credit.

FORMER GARY GIRL DESERTEDjyUSBAi Steeple Jack Tangeris Is Arrested in Chicago on . Wife's Complaint. Indiana Harbor, July 15. John Tangeris was arrested yesterday In Chicago charged with deserting his wife, formerly Mary Sortier of Gary. Tangeris married the girl about five months ago on compulsion and the couple have had more or less trouble ever since. About two months ago he was arrested for assaulting his wife, but the woman refused to prosecute when the case came up and Tangeris was discharged. A short while ago he is said to have disappeared and a search for him revealed Chicago as his whereabouts. Tangeris, who is a steeple Jack by trade, claims to have simply left home to take a Job in Evanston and that he provided for his wife during his absence. He said he had made arrangements with his parents to see that the woman was cared for and given what money she needed. She denies that they gave her any money or sufficient food to maintain her. Tangeris says
