HAMMOND, DOG FOR NEW MUSICAL COMEDY A' musical comedy that is destined to b a headline feature in the largest variety houses in the land is scheduled for first sight at the Orpheum tomorrow afternoon. Officially speaking Hammond Is the "dog" for the new offering. The act is entitled "The Manicure Girls" and employs the services of near ly a score of singers and dancers. Johnny Fogarty Is the principal comedian and is surrounded by a beauty chorus of young women who are declared to display charms that make the feminine contingent with the Follies of 1912 Jook like the inmates of the old ladies' home. Beauty In show business comes high and because of the presence of so much pulchritude the managers of the act are asking more money for it than will permit of its presentation at other than such theaters as the Chicago Majestic or Palace. In fact, if it suits Hammond theater goers the act will go into the Majestic week after next. Hammond is likely to turn out en masse tomorrow to have the distinction of being first nighters. This will be the first really big act that has ever had Its premiere in this city. LAKE CO. BOYS SHAPING OP FOR MEET From all reports the Lake county high scohol athletes are in hardUralnj ing for the track meet at Crown Point next Saturday afternoon. All the schools are again taking more Interest than they did in the past two years. Evidently the honors will fall about even next Saturday as the dope artists are dividing the points generously among all the schools. From this all the schools are figuring on getting an even breslc at least. Some old records are al30 expected to be smashed as Gary has a pole vaulter who is making over the 11-foot mark in practice. Whiting and East Chi cago have several dark, horses and Hammond has Crumpacker, who Is picked to clip oft the hurdles in fast time.' The nsst rernrria In th. wtorVit I undoubtedly stand, as there are no iiidvjr neigiu uuriers in me nign schools at the present time. A special train will leave Hammond on the Erie in the morning and a number are expected to make the trip on the 11:59 a. m train. The schools that will take part are: Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Gary, Lowell, Hobart and Crown Point. GARY TRYING TO LAUD HAIlOtlD MAN iroviaing captain Fowler of the Hammond baseball club can secure his release from Manager Sohl there will be a new man on first base next Sunday! afternoon at the 11. A. A. park, when Whiting will line up against Hammond in thlr first battle of the season. Gary, who -now has a twirling staff

of Ave men and is looking for other fast men on the sacks, has her eyes cast on Fowler and say he looks good to them. In their endeavor to sign Fowler up on their lineup they have offered him a lucrative position at the steel mills besides a neat little sum for playing with them. At Vresent 'Fowler Is not sure whether he can obtain his release from Hammond, but if he can he will be seen among the Gary lineup in the future. A great deal of Interest is being taken in the Hammond-Whiting game Sunday and, providing the weather is favorable, Manager Sohl is expecting a large crowd. The grounds are being put in shape this week and the erection of the new grand stand and bleachers are In progress.

An Appreciation. Through the papers of Hammond I want to express my personal word of appreciation to all those who so heartily entered into the. plans for making the state convention a complete success. First, perhaps a word is due to those who so hospitably opened their homes to entertain strangers. From every hand the delegates and visitors brought to mo the highest words of praise and appreciation for the way in which they were received in the homes. I want to express my appreciation to thos also who offered their homes but whose homes our committee did not find it ncessary to use. The offer was appreciated Just as much as had we needed to use your hospitality. The incessant rains prevented the attendance of nearly three hundred delegates who had written us their intention to attend. We are happy to know that had the largest number anticipated ac tually attended there were enough homes offered to care for them all. I want to express my appreciation and thanks to the newspaper for having entered so heartily into the campaign to bring the need for entertain-j ment before the people of Hammond and for assistance in the automobile drive. No little part of the success of the convention in these respects was due to the help rendered by the newspapers. I wish to express my appreciation to the business men in general and to Mr. Demlng and the automobile committee of the Chamber of Commerce in par. ticular for having made the sight seeing trip a success in the face of storms and bad roads. Though it required a great deal of loyalty to a promise for men to take their cars out through such roads, yet the Hammond men who had promised came and made good. The delegates appreciated this trip mo than any other thing we could ha done. They were profuse In their appreciation of this touch of Hammond spirit. Personally I am sure that Hammond will from now on have a very different place In the estimation of the men and women of all the communities represented among our visitors. I want to express my thanks to a large number of business men who con tributed to a fund for advertising the convention over the state. There was $108 contributed, an exact account of which will be mailed to the various contributors as soon as we can get the time for It. ! To Captain Norton of the steel plant, I wish to convey my own appreciation and the unanimous thanks of the delegates for the delightful trip given the men through the great steel plant. To all the members of the Christian church who labored so faithfully I want to express my appreciation as pastor. It is a source of satisfaction to never be disappointed in one's people even when they are-put to a trying test. To the pastors who offered a place in their pulpit to present the need for homes, to the members of the various churches, to the police and street car men, to the many boys who acted as guides and errand boys, and to all oth ers who in any way assisted in helping to place our community in proper light as host, I am glad to extend this word of appreciation. C. J. SHARP. LAFAYETTE SCHOOL LEADS THE LEAGUE The final games In " the grammar school baseball leagues were played on last Saturday. In the major division Washington defeated Lafayette and won second place. The championship in the major division was won by Irving, who defeated Lafayette and Washington, the only other teams in the league. In the minor division Lafayette won from Lincoln. 14 to 8, in sev en innings. Lincoln has protested the game because the full nine innings were not played. This game may be played over again. Washington had little trouble in winning from Lafayette, as the score of 15 to 5 will indicate. Hickman pitched a good game. The feature .of the game was a home run drive by Summers. Lafayette minor team had little trouble in winning from Lincoln. Score, 14 to 8. Lincoln scored seven runs In the first inning, but after that were hardly Lake Woodi Park (PsipUs nfl 'a " Glarfr Road

ENTS A While the whole country, particularly the republican party, is in a chaotic I state, politically, because two or three j men are on aeiegate hunt for the national convention, the whole situation is wrapped up in a nut shell right here in Hammond, for the Hammond school students are preparing for a mock national republican convention to be held in the auditorium on May 31st. The real thing, it is said, has nothing on the miniature affair, for intensity and fine work in the way of political wiring pulling. Thus far, however, it has not yet been necessary to organize an Ananias club for the accommodation of the amateur politlcains. Some of the preliminaries for the mock convention have already been settled. Miss Burhans, teacher of history and civics, will have charge of the affair, which, it is hoped, will prove to be quite an educational factor. The mock convention in contra-dlstlnction to the national convention allows the suffrage to the ladies, and, therefore, the local convention will have a large able to touch Mears, the crack Lafayette pitcher.
