FORMER STATE CHAMPIONS TO ENGAGE R, H. S.

Lebanon and Richmond to .Compete at The Coliseum Wednesday. Richmond High basket ball team will play the Lebanon team, former state champions, at the Coliseum Wednesday night. The Richmond team promises to put

up a stiff fight even though Sheldon is out of the game and Cramer, the other guard, is ineligible. This means that two subs will have to play Wednesday night.

Coach Mullins' men are showing up far better than they did at the first of the season and intend to go into the game Wednesday night with the determination to do or died in an attempt to win the game. According to reports the Lebanon team will use only one of their last year stars. Lebanon is possibly the strongest team in the state having defeated Anderson 26-36 three weeks ago and carried off the state championship last year at Bloomington. Harding will probably play Cramer's position at guard while Stegman a coming many will play in Sheldon's position. Stegman is showing up well and promises to be a coming bright light of the Richmond High five. Simmons the Richmond center who has been playing only part of the games will be able to play the full game with his old time ability. The game Wednesday night promises to be the fastest played on the Coliseum floor this year and a large crowd Is expected.

The annual meeting of the National Association in Louisville appears to have been quite a "bust." The end of the conference found minor league conditions in no wise improved from the chaos that prevailed throughout last season and which forced a number of the smaller minor organizations to suspend.

of Heinle Zimmerman when he chased

Eddie Collins across the plate, it may be remarked that Chick Gandil of the

White Sox has recently said that it was the place of Walter Holke and not Bill Rariden to cover the home plate and take the throw from ZIm. But If

Rariden couldn't coax Heinle to toss the ball it isn't likely that Hoelke could. In the proposed plan for . redistribution of minor league territory, which was voted down, 9 to -2, the great majority of the hnmWer circuits Baw the- possibility of 'light ahead. With this hope gone, there seems little to be done in their case but to close shop during the period of the war at least. These little minor leagues believed with the two major leagues and a certain few others of higher classification that territorial retrenchment was

absolutely necessary for the life of minor league baseball as a whole. Unfortunately, they lacked proper representation on the national board to force respect for their wishes. Two set? of twins on one football team is the novelty presented in this "informal" season by the Yale freshman eleven. One set comprises Olives Welles and his brother Philip halfbacks. The other set Includes Ed Hawes and his brother Don, who guard the wing positions. - This bunch of twins has caused all sorts of trouble for the captain and coach of the eleven to say nothing of officials. The two Welles are as much alike as two peas and the Hawes as much alike ap two more peas. The proposed 140-game schedule for next summer is not making so large a hit among many baseball men and opposition to it is growing stronger. When the big leagues meet for another conference next month it looks certain that there will be a few more warm words had.
