To the Manufacturer's Association of Lake County

YOU will agree with us that the return to better' times depends largely upon the willingness of manufacturers to adjust prices to levels commensurate with present economic conditions. As a concrete expression of eur sincerity to stimulate buying activity we have inaugurated a campaign to increase the purchasing power of the Peace Nickel by restoring to smokers a GOOD Five Cent Cigar.

AYUK

The Peace Nickel Cigar It's a full size cigar of real Bayuk Quality. The wonderful value represented in Charles Thomson is the result of vast purchasing powers, volume production and efficient management. Bykeeping production costs down to the minimum and selling at a small profit margin we are able to produce the best cigar in the world for 5 cents.

Forsyth Field was the. scene of a terrific nine-inning bombardment when on last Sunday, June 1?, the Whiting Red Crowns swamped the Sheridan A. C. team of Evanston.

When the dust of the final tnninc-

had settled, the score stood 15 to 8 in favor of the Red, Crowns. Although the Red Crowns presented a patched lineup against the visitors, as several of their regulars were unable to play, the team as a whole had no trouble In handling the visitors. With a little tight playing the visitors would have been held to four runs, while on the other hand the local score would have had a large total but for bad base running on the part of several Red Crowns. Schultz pitched steady ball but at no time did he have to exert himself as his mates always furnished him a considerable lead. There were no outstanding stars In Sunday's contest, as every one of the locals was hitting the ball hard, as the one-sided score indicates. For next Sunday, the Red Crown management is trying to book some strong colored team as the attraction at Forsyth Field, , By J. W. BINHAMMER

GAR! FALLS TO WHITE EAGLE NATIONAL OUTFIT

Five straight, and a total of seven out of nine games won, is the record now of the White Eagle Nationals. The Gary Street Railway outfit threw a scare into the home boys in tha ninth by tying up the score at 4-all, and a moment later added another run to make it more binding. But all this seemed to do was to put the fighting spirit into the scrappy White Eagles, for after Hedwall had hit a hot one to Moore, who muffed it, Pat Lind came up and socked n sizzling liner to deep center for two bases, scoring Hedwall. Gant strolled and then Fiscner laid down the prettiest bunt of the day and the old ball game was all over. The game was fast pnd had plenty of thrillers for the large crowd that turned out to watch the team that has been winning so many out-of-town ball games. By winning this hard fought game at home with a ninth inning rally the crowd went wild, and It is most certain that a record crowd will turn out next Sunday when the White Eagles will take on some fast team from this region. Klempner was the hitting star of the day with three hits to his credit. His mighty three-bagger in the third scored two runs, and the scrappy first sacker crossed the plate twice. Fischer played his initial game at second and did It up In great styie. as he took Hedwall's throws in almost perfect manner, three times tagging Gary players out, who would try to steal in spite of Hedwall's reputation In getting his man at second. J. Benson played a whale of a game in right field, giving the kind of support it take3 to win ball games. This young left hander run far in from his post and pulled down three Texas leaguers that would have been clean hirs In a lot of games. Jim Lovin had a rest In left field today, all the flys going the opposite direction, but he did not forget to get a timely two-bagger in the sixth when a run meant a lot to his team, Batchelor was on the job as usual at short, accepting five chances without a bobble. Hedwall pulled a thriller In the seventh, when he started for second on Jolllf's delayed wind-up.. His teammates called to him and he turned aro'ind in time to see Hedwall sliding for the keystone sack. He threw to the ground and Hedwall took third. This play stirred the crowd and goes to show that the pep in previous games was still there, and It Is those kind of wideawake plays that wins. Pat Llnd got two pretty two-baggers right at critical moments, when hits mean ball games. This stellar outfielder and pitcher is probably the greatest asset to the team, as he always figures in on the wlnn'ng plays. Egar was good and allowed but six hits, striking out twelve Gary batters. Following is the box score for Sunday's game:

PROTEST DEMPSEY BRENNAN BOUT IN LEGIONJIRENA Logansport American Legion Post Wants Preventive Action.

LOGANSPORT. June 20. Jack Dempsey, world's champion boxer, was branded as a slacker and the Michigan City post and the Indiana department of the American Legion asked to take action to prevent his appearance under Legion auspices at Michigan City on Labor Day in a strongly worded resolution adopted by unanimous vote of members of Cass County Post No. 60 at a meeting here last week. The Logansport post took action following receipt of the news that Derrvpsey had been booked to fight Brennan on September 4 in John Franklin Miller Post's new $30,000 arena at Michigan City. THE RESOLUTION. The resolution, which was sent to all executive committeemen in Indiana, to state and national officers of the Legion, and to the Mk'higan City post, reads as follows: "Whereas, It has come to the attention of this post that William Harrison Dempsey is to appear on Labor Day at Michigan City, under the auspices of the John Franklin Miller post of the American Legion; and "Whereas, the aforesaid William Harrison Dempsey has officially been condemned by the American Legion as a slacker; and "Whereas, the Department of Indiana, at Its Culver coniventiqn last year reiterated their condemnation of the said William Harrison Dempsey'as a fit companion for the notorious Glover Cleveland Bergdoll; and "Whereas, the said William Harrison Dempsey. during the days of '17 and 'IS did not display a sufficient amount of intestinal fortitude, (or. In common parlance, 'guts'), to don the khaki and prove his prowess as a fighter, but. instead chose the rlA"et gun for just long enough to foe mugged for the purpose of perpetrating upon the public a fraud in order to curry public favor in an attempt to mislead loyal citizenship; . "Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Cass County Post, No. 60, In regular meeting assembled, this 13th day of June. 1322. that we go on record as unalterably opposed to any exhibition of said Dempsey under the auspices of the American Legion and that we convey our attitude In plain, clear, concise and unequivocal language to the John Franklin Miller post and to the officers of the Department of Indiana, and request of them that they take the Immediate and necessary action to prevent the John Franklin Miller post from trailing their colors in the dirt and thereby placing a blot upon the escutcheon of the American Legion.''

Comets Sunday afternoon at Harrison Park by coming out on top of a hard fought eleven inning game that ended with a. 6 to 5 score. The regular Harrison Park Sunday afternoon baseball crowd was present and for a while all was quiet, but It soon turned into an enthusiastic crowd of baseball fans. For tho game" afforded them all the features any fan could ask for. Benich. a youngster playing second base for the Calumets, galnea m. world of recognition by playing a game that was faultless, even though he had many hard chances. He was traveling to the outer garden to pick -off Texas leaguers and backing up his first baseman, only to convert hits Into put-outs- Then to top it off right, he got two singles and a double with his old hollocker. Evans, for three years the standby twirler of the Calumets, piloted the balls over the rubber In wonderful form, allowing eight hits and striking out thirteen. Chrenko, the heavy hitting catcher, not only batted but also held his own bthind the bat, going into the crowd to get everything to helD his pitcher out. The manager will put Gasdic, the littlo third baseman up - d anybody in Lake county to try to beat Wm.

E T GOLF CLUB "Sock!" Two hundred yards down the fairway the little white pill flies. The golf season is on, and myriads of devotees of the sport from Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and other places are flocking to the links at the Hammond Country Club. With the advent of warm weather, crowds which bid fair to out-do those of any past season have turned out for the game. Thanks to the efforts of Professional Maurice White and his corps of assistants, the fairways and greens are in splendid shape, and some good scores have already been turned In. A large group of new members have Joined the club sino last season, and help to swell the total which daily crowds the links. The younger players have reason to be thankful also, for many who return from college for the summer are over age and must take out a full membership in order to play. As these men are still dependent on their parents during their school life, they cannot well afford the expense. A special ruling has been passed for them, which allows them the privileges of membership for the comparatively small sum of twenty dollars a year. Those under twentyone may play for half of this price. The rule is considered very fair, for these men are in town only a few months of the year. Also, the club does not lose by it. as some of the best players are numbered among the Juniors, , LEWIS LANDS K. O. ON BURNS IN 11TH LONDON, June 20. Ted "Kid" Lewis, England middleweight champion, knocked out Frankie Burns, Australian middleweight champion.
