HAMMOND BASEBALL . TEAM THRQWSJJP SPONGE Eight Hundred Dollars in the Hole Paul Pardhun Decides to Quit.

BULI.RTIN'. Owner Pial Farduha announced today that the team baa reorganized and will cotninue to play, meetlnff the Dodger Training club next Sunday at Hammond. Hereafter Pardulm will ret twenty per cent of the gate nd the player split the difference. No ealeriee will be paid. The Hammond baseball team went on the rocks vesterday. JslO loser. Paul

JParduhn. owner of the team, bears the i heaviest loss.

Farduhn kept the club going as long as it was possible, but an additional financial loss esterday with perfect weather conditions and a strong attraction convinced him that with the majority of the fans in the army or navy the game was no longer profitable or even self-supporting. The players, individually, are talking of organizing team under Captain Fred Kommers and playing on a percentage base. Reynolds, the pitcher, for one. stated he would not continue to play

j with the club. Not only has the falling off in attendI ance had its effect on baseball, but the J game is more costly. Players demand i larger salaries because there are so few I good ones Wt in civilian life. The

league baseball, which formerly sold for $1.25, is $2. Last year there were 43 leagues in the country. This year 11 started up and three remain in operation. As the loophound's guide and p,hi!osopher statd today. "There are. still "Ten Thousand Leagues Under th Pea'."

Meat

Fresh meat is perishable. It must be sold within about two weeks for whatever it will bring. A certain amount of beef is frozen for foreign shipment, but domestic markets demand fresh, chilled, unfrozen bee Swift & Company cannot increase prices by withholding meat, because it will not keep fresh and . salable for more than a few days after it reaches the market Swift & Company cannot tell at the time of purchasing cattle, what price fresh meat will bring when put on sale. If between purchase and sale, market conditions change, the price of meat must also change. The Food Administration limits our profit to 9 per cent on capital invested in the meat departments. This is about 2 cents per dollar of sales. No profit is guaranteed, and the risk of loss is not eliminated. As a matter of fact, meat is often sold at a loss because of the need of selling it before it spoils. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

After the awful flrstjllilbrich pitched airtight ball, allowing but four hits and striking out no less than eighteen ambitious Lansing sluggers. Grease. Lansing's old timer, was on the mound for his mates and the old boy never pitched a better game in his li.fe. He allowed but five hits and struck out seventeen of the Pilots. He was in danger only in two innings, the fifth and ninth. In the fifth his shortstop saved him by a great run into left nipping a rap that looked like a sure Texas league hit. Shaw, who was on second, was doubled after this grand catch. In the ninth the Pilots got men on second and third with two but but Grease put all he had on the ball and Teutemaeher was his seventeenth victim via the strikeout route. Score: r.h c.
