A IirS MTJSICALE; . Music lovers of Indiana Harbor enjoyed, a real treat yesterday in the first of the entertainment course given at the Auditorium under the auspices of the. United . Presbyterian church. The Harmony Concert party were the entertainers, the company being made

up of five performers. Including Mr. Mrs. McNemry, Calvin Jordan, Alois Hrabak and the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McNemry. Little Miss McNemry charmed all hearers by her performance. All of the older members of the company were players of great versatllty. Mr. McNemry played the mandolin, saxophone and banjo with tqual dex-' terity, Calvin Jordan was the harpist of the company, Alois Hrabak played flute, banjo and violin, while Mrs. McNemry acted as accompanist at the

piano, playing also the mandolin and the xylophone. While all the selections were well received by the audience, a medley of old-time favorites played upon the banjo by the three men of the company proved the hit of the evening. There was a good crowd in , attendance, the audience numbering 5.0. The next number on the course will be a lecture by Dr. E. T. Hagerman of Milwaukee. December F?. Dr. Hagerman's subject has not yet been announced, but it will likely be "The World That We Live In," which is a general :favorlte in his repertoire.

baseball park Thursday afternoon when the Clabby A. A. team of Hammond went down to defeat In their annual clash. This is the sixth consecutive victory for East Chicago, the score resulting 13 to 6. Erwln Miller, the Brickley of the Hammond aggregation, was responsible for Hammond's scoring, when he made two spectacular drop kicks in the second quarter. One was from the 18yard line, while the second was sent sailing over from the 25-yard line. East Chicago scored their first -points in the opening period when Sternberg broke away for a 40-yard run and after circling a crowd of fans slipped away for a touchdown. There was considerable dispute over the result of the touchdown and the East Chicago referee finally allowed that it was legal.

After four minutes of play in the third quarter Jimmy McShane, veteran and hero of many a hard gridiron battle, took the pigskin over for another touchdown. Joe Miller, Kohl, E. Miller and Nolan starred for Hammond, while Jimmy McShane, Wartena, Bale and Sternberg did stellar work for East Chicago. The game was refereed by Ed Quill of St. Viator's' university.
