fact that capitalist and men in every line of business read the sporting pages as wel as the humbler fans, makes this form of advertising of - incalculable value. The resolutions by inference contain in a rebuke to those citizens, whose lack of public spirit and business enterprise has caused them to neglect attendance at the games, and urgently request better attendance at the few events that remain to he played off before the close, of the season. The resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted, were as follows:
Whereas: The de :opmeriv of the hasebal games in Northern Indiana this season, through the medium of the association of clubs in these cities, known as the Northern Indiana Baseball asociation has done so much to advertise our cities not only at home but all through th public press, and
Whereas: AVe believe that clean sport as exemplified by the great national
game of baseball is for great good n
furthering the Interests of -our city and
this entire district. In giving us exten
sive advertising as proresslve, live communities and also a great factor u developing the spirit of local prld rd
amoition, therefor be it
Resolved: That this Comerclal Club of Indiana Harbor, and , East Chicago
does highly commend th citizens who have spent their time and energy to build up the asociation and we believe that the games have deserved much
better patronage by our citizens than
they , have been giving this season and
be It further Resolved: That this club request the general public to give the few games yet to be played this season, much more liberal support by greater attendance and thus lend great encouragement to
the association to continue. The secretary was ordered to send the foregoing resolutions to. the various papers in the towns represented in the league with a request that they be given as much publicity as possible.

BASEBALL FACTOR FOR CITY SPIRIT
The visit of the president of the United States Steel Corporation, James A. Farrell, to Gary yesterday was a good thing for the Mercy hospital, for the steel chieftain, when informed of what the hospital has accomplished, informed members of the general committee that-he would contribute $500 to the hospital fund. This was the announcement made last night at the meeting of the gen-
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 7. "Down with cigarettes and tobacco a'nd up with moral standards." This is the latest cry of the United States Steel corporation which in many ways has been striving for uplift among its thousands of workmen. Following the lead of the American Bridge company, the steel corporation is making tobacco a contraband article during working hours in the Pittsburgh mills. The first move was made at Ambridge, the townsite of the American Bridge company's great industry. Notices have been posted there forbidding
smoking within the big plant and It is4.the baseball committee was instructed

The plans for this new building have
been inspected by many of the citizens of the county and it is said that
they are modeled after some of the
most up-to-date infirmaries in the
country.
A rather unexpected appropriation
was that of IS, 000. which was made
for the purpose of buying a large
piece of land, just north of the fair
grounds and adding It to the acreage that is already owned by the county for this purpose. '
Add to Fair Grounds. The land is beautifully wooded and
ill be a great addition to the fair
grounds. It will be used for picnic
purposes, and will serve the purposes
of a park for the people of Crown
Point.
The land was purchased from eastern
parties several months ago by Chas. Daugherty, Frank Meeker and some Hjnimend real estate men.
But If the county councllmen took a
fling at the fair ground deal they did not seem to be quite so much interest
ed in the proposition to buv the lot
next to "the Hammond court house.
which 'i owned by Ben Haves.
They let that go over until late next ; fall when they will consider it fur- j ther. The building of the Chicago av-
enue bridge was also deferred, for the reason that the county councilmen did not have data enough upon which an estimate of the cost of the proposed bridge could be made. County Engineer Ray Seeley was In
structed to make some soundings and j borings for the purpose of enabling ' the commissioners to arrive at some more definite idea of the cost of the new bridge. j Plans and specifications have already . been drawn for the bridge, but it is ' understood that these are to be reject- I ed and that new ones are to be drawn t under the supervision of the county
engineer.

Indian Harbor, Ind., Sept. 7. The development of baseball in Northern In
diana was a subject of discussion at the meeting last night of the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chi
cago. A set of ringing resolutions endorsing the local fostering of the national
sport, presented, by C. E. Fowler ar.d adopted by the organization, shows tha high appreciation the commercial club entertains regarding the value of a baseball league as an advertising medium as well as from a spirit of sportsmanship. Members of the cluo realize that by means of the league games held during the past season, every town in the league has receiver advertising in the metropolitan papers which they could not have purchased at any price, the names of the various cities having been brought before the attention of thousands who doubtless never heard of them before, through the medium of the sporting pages. The
understood that officials in order to set an example will refrain from Indulging in perfectos during office hours. "It is injurious to the health of workingmen." , ' . This is the argument of the steel trust, which In more ways than one has taken up certain social and living problems among Its employes.
The example of the American Bridge company has been followed In various Carnegie mills and there has been little or no protest from the men against the ruling. The point has been stretched in favor of one class of workmen, machinists who do brass work, and iron molders will.be permitted to chew tobacco. Chewing tobacco is said to be. a pre
ventive against certain affections resulting from Inhaling fine brass cuttings and dust in foundries.
