In one of the most spectacular basketball games seen on the gym floor of the Emerson school this season at Oary, the freshman quintet of the Notre Dame university met defeat at the hands of the crack E.. J. & E. five by a close score of 41 to 33. " The 12.. J. & 3. five proved themselves a. bunch of fine basketball shooters last night and even astoundM the Notre Dame quintet, who thought they were up against somo easy picking. It was Gary's night ard they tossed the ball around with ese and had th,e "rahTah" boys guessing a grood share" of the tlm?L Tn' P'ny'nsr was snappy and there wasn't a dull moment in the frame; enthusiasm never reigned before as it did last night, The game started out with a rush and' it looked like about an even match. The points were divided about even until the later part of the game, when the- E., J. & E. quintet took a quick spurt, saining eight points in the lead before time was called. The Notre Dame five displayed some

neat team work and showed a number

ot new basketball stunts. They met

their defeat wlth-"the best of feeling

and give the Gary team credit of hav

ing a fast team. A number of the Notre Dame alumni men attended the frame and they did some cheering for Gary. The following lineup was used: Gary Xewsack, forward; Kinzel, forward (captain); Koenig. center; Grading1, guard; Llnquin, guard. Notre

Dame Shafer and Maloney, forwards; O'Rourke, center; Smith, guard; Sowers (captain), guard. In a one-sided game at Hobart the Merchant Mills lost to the city team! by a decisive score of 50 to 9. Hobart simply walked away with the Mill five, who were at Hobart's mercy. Onaccount of working overtime the Gary five were unable to put up a good game. , The Gary Electrics did not play the All Stars at Crown Point last night and Instead Journeyed to Valparaiso, where they played and were defeated by a small margin of two points, the final score, standing 38-36. It 'was a hardfought game and by scoring a difficult basket the. Valpo five made the winning points. Saturday afternoon the boy's and girls' teams of the Gary and Whiting

j high schools will meet at' the Gary Y.

While Kt Chicago is rejoicing over its ow nublic dockage, its business men re pointing out the fact that Hammond will be losing a great opportunity, itits neglects to secure public dockage on the West branch of the canal, while it can get It cheap and while it Is yet to be had.- In many ways, (lockage along the canal would be preferable to that on the river in what is nnw the heart of Hammond.

turns come in.

The act is unquestionably a good one.

according- to another politician, and

will prevent the actual purchase of

votes in close elections. The follow

ing from an Indianapolis paper gives

the down-state view of thasituation:

Lake County Mentioned. "Political leaders, Aig and little, over

the state ar awaiting with considerable interest the forthcoming pamphlet

from the office of the governor in ex

planation of the corrupt practices act

and the voters' registration act, which will regulate the election machinery this year. Under the instructions of the governor, the attorney general has

prepared interpretations of the two

acts, and the interpretation, in printed

form, will be turned over to both tWe democratic and republican state central committees for distribution. Both acts were passed by the recent general

assembly. "Probably most interest in the corrupt practices act is found in Marion, Lake and Vigo counties than in any other counties inn the state. In Mar

ion county, the interest ' Is due to the large number 0! 'floaters' that have heretofore required the expenditure of more or less money for their handling. 6q uncertain were many Marion county politicians as to the workings of the corrupt practices act that a number of political plans,: half formed, were abandoned on the theory they could not be put through without the expenditure of money," which, it was 'represented, would be. dangerous in the face of the new act. 1 In Lake Connty, "In Lake county the interest centers In the large number of foreigners there. The decision of the Baldwin locomotive works to locate at East Chicago, where It will employ fifteen thousand men, has caused a great Influx of

shifting population at that place and j has increased ' the political problems that Lake county has encountered ever sine the industrial boom was started in that part of the state. " Charles Murphy, democratic chairman of " the tenth

congressional district, of which Lake count j is a part, "said a few days ago that -under the corrupt practices act and an additional act providing against the solicitation of foreigners to take out first papers in order that they may vote, he believed the question of the foreign voter in Lake county could be handled this year. Four years ago and two years-ago the foreigners were voted by the republican county organization. Murphy said if the law could be enforced in the county, he believed the democrats could : carry it. The democratic organization, he sald proposed to enforce to the letter the provisions of the registration, corrupt practices and the foreign solicitation acts. '"It was charged that in ' 1908 the republican organisation taught th Ignorant foreigners to say 'Taft,' whenever they were spoken to.' it was said to Murphy. What is proposed to teach, them this year"' Beer Thl Year. " 'Beer, just beer,' replied Murphy. 'You knowhat Is a tommunity that believes in personal liberty when It comes tg-the liquor , question. It is pretty generally believed in Lake county that the republican platform will contain a county option plank, and not only the democrats, "but the republi

cans opposing the restoration of . the

law are getting ready iCr it'.' The be

lief is already helping the democratic cause up there. ' 'Seriously, though. I am down here now to become acquainted with the new laws regulating elections. If they are properly enforced, as we propose

to see they are, you will se the foreign vote fall off amazingly this year.' "Interest in the application of the laws in Vigo county centers -4n the largo foreign vote there, and is strengthened because of the election tactics followed for years by Donn Roberts and the crowd that follows Roberts."

Officials of the Oary. Hobart and Val
