H. Nlcklo. proprietor of a little store at Buchanan st. and the B. A O. tracks in Gary, has been robbed on several occasions In the past and swore to get th next one that broke in. For awesk or more he has been sleeping in the store, watching nightly for the sneak thieves. Early Sunday morning he was awakened from his slumber by a noise at the side of th buliamg, and getting up on his elbow he reached for a .45 calibre revolver at his side. He heard some on ripping a board from the aid and a short time later saw a hand reaching Into the store. Leveling the gun he fired where be thought tne thief might be. There was a loud rsport and then a cry of pain. Nlcklo hurried to the outstoe and found no one, but believed that his shot had taken effect as Indicated by the blood stains nearby. Half an hour later a colored man. giving the name of George Baker, aljas Banks, was picked up by . the police at Ambrldgo.

The front of the Sand B-unes hotel at Miller was partially wrecked and three Gary youths returning from Miller Beach In a speedster automobile had narrow escapes from death late Saturday night when the machine crashed into the building.

Jimmy O'Connell, ten irarily out of the spotlight thrown upon him when the Giants purchased him for $75,000 last winter, is facing the toughest year in his career. From now on he will be made to realize what it means to be purchased from a minor league by a major league club for a record figure. - Under the terms of the purchase from the San Francisco club O'Connell does not report to the Giants until the spring of the 1923 season. But in the months between now and then he will be practically under the direction of John McGraw and will have to deliver. McGraw's first move after buying O'Connell war to arrange with Manager Jack Miller of the Frisco club to move O'Connell from first base to the outfield. McGraw figures on George KeKy starring at first for the Giants for years to come and believes that he can use O'Connell to better advantage in the outfield. Jimmy mu t toss aside his first baseman's nht and journey to the outfield. The fact that he has had a long layoff from the outfielding job while playing first base may handicap him little ' r much. But McGraw and the fans watching O'Connell will expect great things of him from the start for is he not a $75,000 beauty? O'Connell is not i.ew at the outfielding job. He broke into the game as a gardener, but was shifted -to first after joining the Frisco Seals. Even if the outfielding job comes back to him readily he face3 a hard year, what with the usual number of knockers rendy to ride him at the least excuse. Freddy Welsh is set to do a comeback in the ring. Has signed

to meet one Archie Walker in Brooklyn, April 15. It's 4. money making proposition pure and simple. Welsh knows he has only an outside chance of even meeting the champion, Benny Leonard, let alone licking him. But Welsh's popularity when he was king may cause the fans to fall for his stuff now. Welsh fought several times after Benny Leonard knocked him out in nine rounds several years ago and won the title. But he did not appear to adventage. Possibly the long lay off has made him a bit better than he was when he retired to run a health farm. He took on Clonie Tait, one of Canada's stars, a short time ego as a tryout and administered a beating. Tait isn't a star, but he's a hard man to handle. It is an interesting fact that Welsh, as a comeback, will get almost as much for fighting until he shows that he is done as he did as champion. He was dethroned just before the days of the fat purses. "The psychology of athletics" is to help guide the coaches of the various athletic teams at the University of Illinois in the future, according to an announcement by the collegs officials. Dr. Coleman E. Griffith, an associate in psychology at the university, is to conduct experiments with the athletes for a year and then write a treatise on the subject. His findings may be used in helping relect next year's grid team, says the story. The experiment will be novel. Undoubtedly psychology plays a large part in a player's or team's success. But it's a good bet that when Coach Zuppke picks his variety next ' II he wiil still insist that the boys knew how to tackle and fall on the ball, -

It Roars With Unmatchable Bargains Making All Other Shoe Sales Appear Like Mere Shadows!

FOLECS Never in the history of any Shoe Store in Hammond was there ever witnessed such throngs of eager buyers, that stormed" our doors last Thursday morning. Hundreds and hundreds were turned away on account of space, and sales service. We are "Electrifying the multitudes with this Record Shattering of Prices" SAVINGS that will never be forgotten. This great sale which struck a pace from its beginning which marked it as successful is continuing to be the talk of Hammond.

JIM MAKES GOOD Do you know that Jim Ortt's Sale is on the tip of the tongues of thousands. Five minues after the doors opened my army of salespeople were working like beavers, making out sales checks, which only meant a part of what people were in the habit of paying for high grade shoes. Thousands of dollars worth were sold, and thousands of pairs left which will fly out like the wind.

AN APOLOGY

Although I employed every available salesperson, we were swamped, utterly covered up at times. Crowds of patient people waited hours for their turns. We now have more experienced help, and will endeavor to see that all are waited on promptly during the following five days of this sale. JAS. B. ORTT.
