Xot only has Like county been the scene of historic sporting events but many notables who excelled in their reTct4v spheres were local products.

Johfiny Mostil of the Chicago White So bai always lived In Whiting. "Spot" Blair, the only Indiana' f printer to do the 100 yard dash in 9.4 was a ten seend man in the Hainmnd high school. "Rube" Hicks, the pole vaulter, who did 12 feet at the University of Michigan, was a Ciary hig-h school athlete. GREAT FOOTDALU MUX Pste Kenning, former federal league pitcher, who is still winning Karnes in fast aenti-pro company, hails from Crown Point which is also the home of Kalph Young, famous Washington Jefferson football star.

In the aiiy days when prize-fighters risdalned gloves, this was the mecca for the right game. A sixty-seven round flght without gloves occurred in Wet Hammond about thirty-five years ago. There were cock-fights in those days. Lake county was the scene of the famous Cpbe road race which was won by Crevrolet. The route of the race between Crown Point and Lowell

by way of Cedar Lake. The speed of the winning car wa something like 70 miles an hour and a hundred thousand neople viewed the event from the grant? stand and places of advantage along the course. The fame of the county in the sportIngworld has been enhanced by the reputation of the basketball team representing the Ow! club of Whiting. Each season the Owl team is matched to play the best f the mid-western teams ineluding the I. A. C. of Chicago. The Gary Works Athletic Association always has" a 5trorvg basketball aggregation in the field. STATU CHAMPIONS In professional football Hammond ranks high. For years the city has had professional team but it was not until 1914 and '17 that it became a top notcher. playing only the best elevens !nf Ohiqj. Indiana and Illinois. The Hammond professional club beat the famous Ft. 'Wayne Friars and took the championship of the state away from the Pine Village club in 1917. defeating the Cincinnati Celts. Toledo Maroons and the best professional clubs of Chicago as well. Frank Blocker.

Not so many year. ajco motor boat races were the fad on the Calumet river but the fever has abated foniewhat. However, there are still a number of fast boats willing to meet all comers. Lake county has produced fast horses, champion fighters, collegiate stars, diamond stars and has won laurels in every Ilr.e of sport amateur and pro-fendional.

WHO'S WHO IN COUNTY'S LONG UST (Continued from page one.) the Gnry Commercial club where the eds Are Kinr to shove their feet under the table tonight and put on the works with the old knife and fork Nobody knows how many suits of clothes Cap. Norton's sot. Ue is Jesse Wilson's only rival. Jesse ts. president of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the reception committee today. AJfOTEES BA-STXE-POUTICIAN. Hores a vnutiK fellow trying to get along in the world by the name of Dick Schaaf. He runs banks and can go places and get things done in politics. People put money in his bank and get it out again which is about all that anybody can say about any bank including Murray Turner's or Col. Ulley's. You could probably borrow money from any on of 'em und not pay it hack, but your conscience will drive you to drlwk because they're all great fellows. Down to date we've met a splendid bunch Murray Turner, W. P. Gleason. Walter Riley, Cap. Norton, Dick Schaaf and H. O. Hay.'Jr-.'president of the Gary State bank. Let's see who wc bump into next. Well if it isn't the whol-courthoue crowd.' .Mack Folajjd, the auditor Herb Wheaton. the clerk; Ralph Bradford, treasurer; Bill Rose reorder; "Hut" Olds sheriff. nd Mat Brown, who's so use to holding office he cant stay away from, - th . county seat, And - there's Judge y. S, Reiter with a ducea tecum to serv on Jim Watson, and Judge Greenwald with a habeas corpus to get him out. Judge Miles Norton is on the job to meet any emergency and Judge Martin Pmilh. of the criminal court. Is looking lenlrnt for a change. "" ETX .EETW ZiATX 'MVS KMXUXTO. i.PeJe Mv; comga along lata but sailing. You see, Pete runs a bank a block away from Murray Turner's and he won't leave until he makes sure his rival isn't on the Job to beat him out of some business. It's been reported around town, from time to time, ths.t Murray and Pte aint speaking, hut that's probably exaggerated. What they probably ?ay to each other is "You get this one and I'll' get the other ons." If you can get by that pair not buy a site and build a factory its because you haven't enough money. rxaHTCva jo but xruuGttSw. The busy guy with the glad hand is John Killigrew chairman of the county republican organization. John's a scrapper, he is. Not long ago he drove his Ford limousine right Into tha aide

of a Pennsylvania train standTng on a crossing, and when the railroad sent him a bill for scratching the paint on the coarh. he got busy and enforced the eight mile an hour ordinance in his home town. wTilcVI Hobart. Jhn told the durned old . Pennsylvania railroad. Gosh switch "em, that if they sued him for the bill, he'd have the ordinance changed so as ttey couldn't go fastern a mil an hour through Hobart. And he ain't never hoard nothing from them since. ' John is a candidate for the nomination for county clerk and that mob coming down the road is part of the candidates for "John's Job when he resi gns -as-enrmty chairman.

That's a good business to get into in this county. Hcrea' Otto Flfleld and Jim Xtjdl, some more of he Claypool hotel chair warmers. Now that weve got the less '.miort persons out of the way we can meet the mayors. As fine a bunch as you ever met In jour life, gentlemen, and all republicans. Mayor William F. Kodges. of Gary: Mayor l'an Brown of Hammond; Mayor Leo MiCormack of East Chicago, and Walter Schr.'ice of Whiting. One hundred per cent Americans all through the war. About the best set of mayors our cities ever had. You'll meet a lot more prominent men before you go home, editors. Fnct Is we're all more or less prominent up this way. Ivt-n the Coot ledgers are prominent. Maybe you'd rather meet them. Oh. very well.
