E. LOST GNE Hammond added another ictory to its flawless string yesterday when East Chicago's team was defeated 6 to 1. This victory does not count in Nigel's fight for the Chicago league pennant as Hast Chicago is an outside team. The kind of ball the neighbors put up was much bvt'er than some of the leant teams have shown against Hammond and it is believed that with more time to practice und get acquainted those boys would make a strong aggregation. Buckeye was on the slab for ITamrronrr while Morgan appeared tor Kast Chicago. Tomorrow- the Hammond fans will ff? the Magnets in notion once more. They put up a wonderful game early in the season and are betting heavily that they can reverse the sere tomorrow. Naijel has already strengthened his team greatly since that first gamw and now he has signed a dark horse who may be shown for the first time tomorrow if the manager thinks he is needed. CHICAGO PRESS PRAISES SLEUTH For his fearless decisions in handling the bandit cases as well as others. Judge Martin Smith of Crown roint. is being praised very highly. Chicago papers yesterday even commented editorially on his decisions. When questioned about the $5,000 reward offered over the s'gnature of Mavor Hodges of Gary, Chief of Police Forbis stated that he would taKe it up with Lieut. Hughes of tbe Chicago police department as soon as the case was completed. "It was not the reward that we were wording for," said Chief Forbis, "it was the arrest of the murderers that we wanted."

M R-34 Giant British Dirigible's Wireless Silent As She Neared America. By JACK TEIOCK STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SERVICE ROOSEVELT FIELD, Mineola, L. I., July 5. The giant British dirigible, the R-34, now on the last lap of her trans-Atlantic journey from England, is expected to reach hee about noon today. Last direct word from the dirigible stated that she was off Sidney, N. S., at 8:45 o'clock last night and naval airmen figured today trat, allowing an average speed, the big balloon could make the field by noon. 20O.0OO TO SEX R-34. Thousands of . persons, gathered at the field and in the surrounding small allages, were watching at dawn this morning for first sight of the balloon. II is estimated that 200. 000 persons will see the history-making machine anchor to her moorings here. Kadio men sat at their instruments ail last night straining their ears for the first message from the R-34. but at 8 o'clock this morning there was still no word, other than that reporting her position last night. WISE LESS KAY BE OTT. ! While the officials here were s'ltchtly worried at the continued silence of the dirigible's wireless they have no doubt but that everything is going veil wttn the ship. They believe that after striking the Canadian mainland the R-34 probably turned straight down the coast. It was also considered possible that something may have gone wrong with her wirelfss. but if that be true there would still be no cause for alirm as the weather is w'! nigh perfe-.t. Mineola and the surrounding country looked like a circus day in the pale going light. Auto parties have come from miles around to see the ship land. And at the hotels at Mif.o'.a, Wes.bury and other small towns are filled to o.-r-r.owir.g. Lieut. Col. Frederick T. Lucase. of th British royal air force, was anxiously awaiting an answer to his message sent by wireless to Maj. O. H. Scott, commanding the R-34. but no answer had been received up to 8:30 i. n. He had asked Maj. Scott for a report on his position and probable time of arrival. The finishing touches were put upon the preparations to receive the ship at the field here tday. Approximately 1. 600.000 feet of hydrogen gas. stored in long cylinders, lay close to the concrete blocks to which the big dirigible will bo moored. This will not be put into tbe hir ras bag. however, until it is suffi ciently cooled to prevent loss and danger. Two men were constantly on duty at he radio stations here today lijiemri; intently for a direct message from th-i giant dirigible. Officials were momentarily waiting to catch the snapping of her wirt less, and were wondering st the delay. If the R-3i continues to make forty knots she will reach Mineola before noon, some officials declared. So soon as the R-34 nears Lors Island, word wil be flashed to all radio stations and the chiem American naval dirigible will go out from here to meet and guide the big Briton to Roosevelt field. The R.-33. her sister ship, will go out from KocUiway r!nt. for the same purpose. NO MORE SCHOOL SKIPPING AT GARY No more playing "hookey" at the Emerson summer school. At least '( the student skips his classes his parents are going to be informed that he did so. According to the new plan every student is to be given a card to show to his parents, showing the numrr of days attendance at school. It has been recently called to the attention of th school authorities that there has be-'n a tendency on the part of some of tht students to tel their parents that thev hae been attending regular whereas they have been loitering on th streets. The summer school is for the students benefit alone, it being up to the parent or the child whether or not he wishes to make his or her back work or continue the classes in the summer.

RIFLE TEAMS IN INTER-ALLIED MEET WILL COMPETE FOR PERSHING TROPHY
The Pershing trophy Army rifle teams entered in the matches at the biff inter-allied games now on at Joinville, France, will shoot for the handsome Pershing trophy. The trophy is of bronze and depicts an American doughboy "wading: ln" with his automatic. In his other hand he carries the deadly trench knife, the weapon called into play as a last resort at close quarters. The allied meet, staged in a mammoth wooden arena, named Pershing stadium, in honor of the commander of the U. S. forces in the war, has proved a jrreat success. It is the first big track and field meet held since the war, and the biggest one staged since the Olympic games in 1912.

GARY FIGHT FANS , WERE SKEPTICAL As far as is known but little money was lost in Gary on the outcome of the Willard-Dempsey fiasco at Toledo yesterday afternoon. That is in comparison with the other championship battle of note in recent years. Small wagers were made here and there, with Dempsey taking the large end of th betting. The challenger was the favorite, the majority of the fight j fans, hoping that the champion would receive the lacing that Dempsey, early in the week hai promised to give him. Gary fight fans were more than skeptical as to its outcome. A great many firmly believed the reports that Willard was not in the pink of Condition and therefore refused to wager but few iron dollars that the big fellow could come back after his years of idleness. Still when the news waa flashed across the wire of Pempsey's derisive victory many Garyites refused to accept it as authentic and waited until the sporting extras were on the streets for its confirmation. There did not seem to be as much rejoicing over the big fellow losing his crown as was expected. It is expected that some of the Gary film houses will be among the first to put their bid in for the fight pic tures. QUIET FOURTH FOR STEEL CITY Gary passed a very quiet and sane Fourth, very few incidents of importance being reported and but few arrests were made. Many went out of the city over the holiday and on account of a large number of offices and business places being closed will not return until Sunday.
