Bell worked good on the defensive plays and broke through the Albani lines for a total of seven field goals.

They must have failed to flag the train at Huntington last night, as no Huntington paper arrived today. The Kirkland-Rock Creek basketball game which was announced for next Friday night at Kirkland will be played Thursday night instead, according to an announcement made today. The game will be played at Kirkland Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock. Well the season is more than half over, and no news of an Adams county second team tourney- has lieen circulated. It seems as though with all the good second teams In the county, the various coaches and school officials would be getting ready for the tourney. The new Hartford township gymnasium will be ready for playing a week, from next Friday. Polingtown will furnish the opposition and a full house is expected to attend the first game.

Hartford has a well-balanced net aggregation. Coach Bryce Thomas la sending his Eighth Grade netters through some hard practices this week — the Centralites layed off for a few days during the holidays. Several good Eighth graders will join the Yellow Jackets next year—d/hich won't hurt things a bit, judging from the lopsided scores the Thomasmen have been running up. The Curtismen are ready for the hard tasks before them Friday and Saturday. A large crowd of local fans is planning on motoring to Columbia City Friday night where the Jackets will engage the Columbia City netters. Mishawaka here Saturday—

The Central Eighth Graders will play Ohio City Eighth Grade netters at 6 o'clock as a preliminary to the main go.

A telephone conversation with Brother Williams of Instated today that whether city health officials would permit basketball at Indianapolis this week was still an undecided question.

Games will be coming hot and heavy now’ until the do--e of the season. Teams all over Indiana are* preparing for the big three weeks of tournaments next March I Looks like Decatur was almost sure of seeing the Butler Field House this year— Kniite Rockjie. the world's greatest football coach. Is preparing to spend the winter in Florida— Which is a well deserved vacation. Mr. Rocklie worked all fall untier a big handicap and like his foothall team he wouldn't surrender. All the newspapers around here are taking some mean cracks at Decatur high school gymnasium—And Basketbawls has to agree that it isn’t near as good as our basketball team. It’s been several weeks since we’ve beard a word, from the President, emeritus of the Bluffton Bugle Blowers-Roger.—But it's a safe bet to say, he'll be in great shape for the Bluffton-Decatur game here in February.

B—(TTP)8 —(TTP) Babe Ruth, baseball's highes.-pa’d em- | ployee, today b came the first holdout of the 1930 season. Ruth asked the Yankees for a three-year contract at 185,000 a year at an unexpected conference yesterday and the proposal was turned down by Col. Jacob Ruppert. Club owner. Ruth previously had turned down two osiers by Col. Ruppert. The first offer ca.ll jd for a vme-year contract at $70,000 and the other a two-year contract at $75,000 per vear. Ruth’s salary last season was $70,000. After the conference Ruth announced he and his wife would leave for Florida Saturday and that it was up to the, Yankees to make 'he next move. It seems that the three-year angle is the crux of the disagreement and not Ruth's demand for $85,000. Ruth, it was bell ved, can get the $85,000 if he is willing to sign a onn-year contract Ftom the present at'itnde of Col. Ruppert it is douh’tful if he will relent and meet Ruth'? demands for a three-year contract. “Col. Rieppert doesn't think it is 1 good business to sign Ruth up for 1 three years," said secretary Bar--1 row. “He may be good in 1930 but 1 who can say how he will be in 1931 and 1932? All the averages are against him being able to complete • another three years as he has the I last." Ruth has been playing professton--1 al baseball for 16 years and will be ’ 36 on February 7. He joined the Yanks in 1921). At the time of his

transfer from 'he Red Sox Ruth was drawing $9,000 a year. Ruth’s first big contract called for 152,000, a season and was for three veans with a two-year option. After the close of the 1924 season the Yanks exercised this option. In March 1927 he signed a three-year contract calling for s7o,ooo—base ball's highest salary, exceeding commiMtoner Landis' stipend by 15,000. A minor argument over next season’s contract has to do with Ruth playing In exhibition games. Ruth said that his illness last season was du- directly to a cold he contracted 'n an exhibition game att Chambersburg, May 31. Barrow insists that if Ruth doesn't appear In exhibition games that the Babe should make up some of the difference in gate receipts to the club. “A player who signs a contract with a bail club has to play whenever the dub plays,” said Barrow.

Arthur ' Shires today returned to Chicago 1 to receive the blessing of the 111- ' Inois athletic commission. 1 Shires wasted no time lasi night ’ in knocking out the former base- , ball pitcher who took up boxing two weeks ago in the hope*. he would fare as well as the great one. He didn't. Faeth, who had not exercised or two days to conserve his strength, hurst forth with speedy blows in hopes of an early knockout. A right cross to the chin gave Faeth time to meditate while the referee counted to nine. Then Sillies gave him another right. 1 Faeth was carried to his corner, Shires assisting. ' Greeted with "boos. ’’ Shires demanded, “does that guy resemble Dan Daly?" Daly's charges that he took a “dive” to assist Shires’ boxing , cateer were investigated yesterday by the Illinois athletic commission in Chicago and will be d.scussed tomorrow by the Michigan I body. Promoter James C. Mullen, who first introduced Shires as a boxer Eddie Meade, Cleveland promoter and Daly’s second for the Shires tight; and George 11. Bricker, Columbus furniture man. who said ,ie was Italy's manager, all told the commissioners Shires was scheduled to be cleared of charges at today's session. o Notre Dame Wins From I. U.

“KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK” KRICK CHARGES COUNCIL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) been accomplished the past four years an<|| gave expression to his appreciation with the statement,! 'keep up the good work and do : as yon did in tne past four years.”! His message was directed to the, different committees on the conn-, cil and each recommendation came under a committee head. The launching of the move to secure a new place for the fire trucks has been informally discussed by th? council for sometime. The heavy trucks are impairing the floors and foundations in the city hall buildng and whin the big motors are started, the vibration is felt throughout the building. The offices of the city clerk and treasurer, are located on the second door and this fact necessitates the public climbing the stairs to pay water, light and power bills. Mayor Krick favors the moving of the fire department, the building of a small building for the trucks and fire fighting apparatus and the moving of the city offices downstairs. The council has been working on i s milar program. Other recommendations made by the mayor have also been given the serious consideration of the council and an accounting firm. W. Curtis Pease, has already been employed to install new cost-finding records uni steps have been taken to continue the keeping of such records. Briefly the mayor’s message con tained the following recommendations and suggestions: Finance Committee Make the budget meet. Do not pay any account unless a signed purchase voucher accompanies the , statement. Every committee should , keep expenditures within the funds alloted.

Street and Sewer Committee Keep up /our good work. This , department needs a new -truck and a street sweeper. There is not enough money for botn and would advise the purchase of • the one most needed. Public Safety Recommend that a signal light 1 he installed at intersection of Second and Madison streets. Equip police auto with siren. Keep al! ’ signal lights in first class shape. , Above everything keep fire equip- . ment in first class working condi- . tion. Electric Light , Recommend that this department , be kept under tht same manages ment. Try to reduce operating costs so that light and power rates t can be reduced. I During past eight years, the city plant has been under course of a

| new construction and alterations. | ' which has greatly interfered with 1 smooth est ciency, although wond I rrful service has been given in view of these handicaps. Recommend that no alterations or im ; .ovements be made for present, I unless business conditions warI rant. Recommend purchase of light service truck for department. Ad I vice erection of good storage room, as recommended by our accountants and the continuing of the cost-finding system now being in1 stalled. Investigate the installaI tion of the underground electric line system, secure estimate of cost and have thorough knowledge of program before steps are taken , to install it. Water Works Committee Recommend same management be maintained in this department and that new service rates be ap- , pl ed for at once. (Note: the may- . or did not state whether lower or higher rates were recommended'. , Recommend installing deep well pump and try to reduce cost of , production. . Purchasing . Th s committee should follow the statues in tnakng purchases, which i requires a voucher signed by all members of the committee. Public Improvement | Work in conjunction with the I public safety committee and the . light and water committees to deI vise some means or way of moving . the fire department and converting the city hall into an administration building for the light, power and water departments. Move offices . downstairs so that the public will not have to climb to the steps to pay bills. The mayor also comI inented on the condition of th ] loor and foundations in the city > hall building and that the build- ] Tig was not originally built for . such heavy fire trucks. Judiciary
