Pine Village All Set for Sun day at Hammond With Big Excursion Complications Anent Friar Game Arise and Parduhn Sends Representative to Fort Wayne.
A special train is lo run from La-j
fayette to Hammond Sunday with excursion rates for all the towns alius

Ah! It nas bound to come out. The

the bull almost to death.
On the eve of the first of throe iniportant r.d dcrid.r.g games at Hammend poiitlcs have been discovered In the Indiana football fight and fans are on the tip-toe of expectancy. I'or one thing another scrap of paper has been torn up by Ciaire Rhodes, manager of the Tina Villas club which plys Hammond at Hammond Sunday. According to the agreement of the professional football league which included Pine. Village. "Wabash and Hammond, lineups were to be forwarded by each team manager to the other five nays before a scheduled game. Rhodes hasn't sent his lineup to Farduhn for tomorrow's gam", indicating that he has negotiated with all the senior rlayers on the Ohio State and Illinois teams Mh a few from WarhlnRton-Jeffersofi and Cornell. Anyway, that is what '.he excited fan imagines. And with ell this talk of loading-tip Hammond wifl o the same inenTiCi'l lineup as last week and the week bctore and the week before that. Now as to Kort Wayne. Representing Farduhn, M-Mvin ilonnett went to Fort Wayne today to try and get the Friars to sign and deliver to him the contract which Farduhn signed and forwarded to thrm a week at-o. It is easy to seo Fort Wayne's scheme for she has already negotiated with Fine Village for a game .December 2. The Kriars Intend to play the winner of tomorrow's Fine Village-Hammond game. If Pine Vi'laao wins Fort Wayne will ignore her agreement to come to Hamr tor.d and bock Pino Village at Fort ayne December 2. And where does Hammond get off? you itsk. Oh'. It Wabash beats the Friars in their game at Fi rt Wayne Tomorrow what's the use of playing I'crt Wayne, anyway. Let 'em go out and get a reputation, say we. But Farduhn Isn't schooled in these new fancied ways of keeping league agreement."? and contracts. To him a contract is a contract just like rigs is pigs. Ho wants to play Fort Wayne at Hammond. And the only way to do that is to beat Fine Village. The season has shown one thing. A 'hre team league with return game? in one season is all wrong and league agreements don't amount to anything unless they are secured by certified ( hecks. An eight team league of professional football teams with each club, putting up a hundred or so to bind itself would be still another thing. Abe. Whatever Fine Village may bring to Hammond tomorrow in the way of college stars, Hammond will have the same lineup as when she played P. V. before this year and beat her. 13 to 0, with the single exception that Whit-
Karl C'addock, heavyweight grappling champ, is sorely peeved at Jack Curley. manager of his opponent for Dec. 7, "lussiif Hassanc, fur calling him "yellow." "Wait till I g't 'at this Bul
garian bird. I'll show that crowd :
whether I'm yellow or not," rttored Karl upon hearing the accusation, yuick, lien Ali, the kootchy dancer!
The G ibbons-McFarland go in Chicago sometime between Dec. 1 and 15 seems assured, the war department having stamped Its approval upon negotiations.
They certainly put the kibosh on old Kid Coxing in New i eirk.
