Games xt Sunday Hammond at Harvey. South Chicago at East Chicago. Whiting vs. Red Crowns (exhibition game). Hammond will try and stag: a comeback next Sunday when they travel to Harvey to take, on the team that nearly beat them out of the pennant last season. It was this same aggregation that almost upset the dope by handing Hammond a lacing: towards the latter part of last year's schedule after Hammond had the championship practically cinched. Harvey i laims they have a much stronger club than Jast season and apparently they play their best ball at home as they defeated the strong: South Chicago club on their own lot by the score of 10 to 5 Just a week aro last Sunday. Although tney

went down to defeat at the hands of Whiting, the Harvey crowd Insists that they will trim Hammond next Sunday as they are keen for another victory, which will put them back In undisputed possession of first place. Manager Heimbacfc of the Hammond club, however, Is confident that his charges will come through and he has high hopes that they will redeem themselves In nice fashion after the terrible walloping: they g-ot last Sunday. As several lollowers of the local team have expressed themselves since Sunday's awful exhibition. It probably was" a good thing: for the Hammond club to get bumped off like they did as it will make the players realize that they haven't got a cinch and It Is not going to be a walk-away for any team to win the pennant In the K. of C. Suburban league this season. On Tuesday, May 30th (Decoration Day), the Hammond K. of C.s will hook up with the fast club representing the Hammond Veterans ot Foreign Wars and this game will be played at the Harrison Park diamond. This Is the first battle of the season In which two of the leading local teams will get together and as a result considerable Interest Is being aroused over the game by the baseball loving public of the city. The Vets are mado up of several well-known players of good reputation, their lineup Including such stars as "Red" Nortli at shortstop, McCarty on second, "Hank" Meyers on first and "Bud" Callahan in centerfleld. These last three men will be remembered "as the mainstays of last year's strong Forester team, and according to reports they are putting up a sterling game with this new aggregation.

By LARRY GEORGE Coming down the home stretch of a tough training grind on the gallop. "Kerple" Trlmbl.j of East Chicago looks like a sure shot winner. He will enter the roped square In the Columbia A. C. club rooms In West Hammond tonight to do battle with Rocco Castle, a Hammond product, Bath boys will scale at 118 pounds. Trimble has been going through a big league training schedule for the past week for this fight. And his condition now Is almost of razor edge sharpness. These boys met several months ago out at the Columbia hall of Calumet. The decision then was a draw. Ever since then, however, Kewple has had a hankering to ex

change wares with Castle again, because the claims that he has made some long and lengthy steps into the deeper realms of his profession. According to this dope their bout tonisht ought to shape up swell. Castle always puts up a pretty nice article of fighting, and with Kewpie's eagerness and newly acquired learning, the two ought to become real excited before the closing gong clangs. In fact. It would not surprise the wise sharps who have heretofore seen these two work" to witness a knockout tonight in their clash. ' A consultation of Kewple's horoscope reveals that he Is In the happy throes of his fortunate week. It sure looks like a dark shy for Castle's admirers to raze upon.

Is Anything as Cheap as a Telephone? Number 8 in a series of statements by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company Is there anything you can buy, for as little as 9J4 cents a day, that provides in your HOME the same convenience and protection that your telephone brings? Is there anything else in your office that gives you, for as little as 21 cents a day, even one-half the service rendered by your telephone?

The above figures represent the small cost at which telephone service is available. The cost of a four-party residence phone, with unlimited service, is 9 cents a day (counting 30 days to the month). For an individual line residence telephone, the cost is only 3 cents more, or 24 cents a day. The rate of a two-party business telephone, with unlimited service, is 2$ cents a day. And a single business line, with unlimited service, figures only 5 cents more, or 26 cents a day. Even in a home, there is certain "business machinery," household supplies and service to be looked after. The telephone makes the work easy. In addition, there are the social needs which the tele-

phone serves. And, furtner, there is the protection it gives instant communication with physician, police or firemen. How much would' you miss it, if you had no telephone in your home? What is telephone service worth to you there? And in your business: How much time does it save you ? Why, BEFORE the telephone, business men employed messenger and errand boys paid them every week as much as we are asking for a WHOLE MONTH'S telephone service and even THEN did not accomplish nearly as much or in as satisfactory a manner. How much would you miss it, if you had NO TELEPHONE at your place of business ? What is a telephone really worth to you there ?

Whether for your home or your place of business, you will at least feel the justice of an answer like this: "Telephone service is worth to me what it costs the Company to furnish it including a fair return to those who invest their money in such public service." ) We are confident the people of Hammond desire to be fair and just and expect to pay the reasonable cost of any service it may receive, plus a fair return on our property used in the public service. That is all we are asking for from our subscribers in Hammond.
