Important to Success of Game

Thus far the winter season of basket bail has been a success in Terre Haute. The crowds attending various contests at the Y. IvI. C: A., State Normal and Poly, have been far larger than any that were in" attendance at games previous to this year, and the outside interest showji has worked wonders with the players and the game.

The largest crowds of the season were those in attendance at the Normal-Y. M. A. game, which initiated the new'association gymnasium, and the Normal-Pur-due contest at the I. S. N. gym,, where "two young ladies' teams played a curtain raiser. The city championship contest last'Friday night was a howling success, and that in two ways. The attendance was large and the receipts net. and the

Polys "howled" louder than ever a crowd did at a foot ball game. Terre Haute needs- a city basket ball league. Two attempts were made .to iorm a league of the Y. M. C. A.. Poly and Normal, but various difficulties kept the teams apart. The unnecessary animosity between the Normal and Poly is detrimental to any such efforts as these. It is certain that a league will.be formed for the 1201 season.

This Week's Games.

This week will'be a lively one in the basket ball world. Unlesy present ar^.ngements fall through two contests will bo pulled off on Friday night. The Indiana State Normal will combat Indianppolis Manual Training school at the Normal gym. while the Y. M. C. A. boys are battling with Crawfordsville Y. M. C. A. for state honors. On Saturday Purdue will come to Terre Haute to play R. P. I., and another hot contest may be expected then.

McCormack's Good Work. The efficient work of Referee Charles McCormack, R. P. I., in the game between Y. M. C. A. and Poly Friday night, was loudly commended by all who saw the contest. Although judg'mg his own schoolmates he showed the greatest impartiality and his tendency always was to be fair and honest. There.were several doubtful decisions, but these generally were decided as the referee first decreed. The work of Umpires Kisner and Gilbert also was good.

A New Champion.

There is a new heavyweight colored champion and his name is Jack Johnson, l.ust night ne won. the decision over Denver Ed Martin in a twenty-round bout at Los Angeles.- Johnson's victory is a notable one for there is no question about Martin being a good one. The latter has been a challenger of Champian Jim Jeffries.

Johnson only recently came into pugilistic iirom.nence, particularly in gaining a decisio4» over Gaorge Gardner. Bob Armstrong' whom. Martin defeated, has challenged the winner. Johnson has defeated two men who have victories over Armstrong, viz: Martin and Childs, so Jack has a good claim of the Championship of the black division. There is another dusky and husky lighter in the far west who may dispute Johnson's title. He is Sam McVey, of California.

Ordered a Telephone.

The commissioners met yesterday morning and ordered a Citizens' telephone placed in the office of the county physician.

Lighting bids for the home for dependent, children were ordered received1 Feb. 23, at 11 a. m.

The report of Treasurer William Clark of the Honey Creek levee bonds was approved.

Amy F. Jensen was admitted to the Home for the Feeble Minded at the request of her father, A. P. Jensen.

TURNING ON BINGHAM

INDIANAPOLIS NEWSPAPER MAN SEVERELY CRITICISED.

COMMENTS 0,J ALL SIDES

Was a Good Enough Man But Not the One to Head the Central LeagueAnother Meeting Soon.

The rapid lire guns of many newspapers throughout the Centra) Base Ball league, or the Western association, as the name is to be hereafter, have been turned on Ed H. Bingham, the Indianapolis newspaper man who ran for. the presidency of the league at the And'arson meeting last week. The voting was 4 for Bingham and 4 for Charles White ot Chicago. As a compromise, when it was evident that there was a tight deadlock. G, W. Bement, the popular Evansville man, was chosen to guide league affairs as president, secretary and treasurer until another meeting could be called.

The reason generally assigned for Bingham's defeat, after he had visited many cities of the league in an effort to secure votes, was that' he was too closely connected with the scheming Mr. Watson, president of the. Indianapolis association. This may have a great deal to do with the way the election turned out, but it is said that another very sufficient reason was that he had not had enough business experience to guide the league. Although most of the papers have' handled Mr. Bingham with rough hands,".it should not be forgotten that he and he alone of the Indianapolis newspaper men boomed the Central league. He worked with a might to help the league organize and should be given some credit for this. Another man will be chosen for president because Bingham has made himself unpopular, but that there are some points nthe defeated base ball writer everyone must agree.

WHAT THEY SAY.

Comments on the League Meeting From a Few Papers. The Fort Wayne News says: At the meeting of the Central league magnates in Andersofi every city was represented, officers were elected and a schedule submitted. Bingham, of Indianapolis, who was-slated for president, seemed t6o close to Watkins to please the managers and his election was defeated. This is the first chapter in the story.of the "throw down" by Watkins of the managers on the Sunday base ball question.

'A South Bend Echo.

The South Bend Times says: The meeting adjourned at 11:45 o'clock and the delegates went to Indianapolis to continue lobbying for the Sunday base ball bill. G. W. Bement, of Evansville, was elected president, and will also look after the duties of secretary and treasurer. C. W. Halderman, of Marion. Was elected vice president. Bingham, of Indianapolis, was frankly advised that he was defeated for president because the league regards him as a close friend of Manager Watkins, of the Indianapolis team, and that Watkins had been unfair to the Central league. The schedule of games was left to President Bement, who will announce it in March. C. W. White, of Chicago, was also a candidate for the presidency, but his close connection with A. G. Spalding caused fear that the league might become embroiled in the Brush-Spalding controversy in the National league. The vote for president was White, 4 Bingham, 4.

Bement the "Pooh Bah." The Evansville Journal-News says: At Indianapolis yesterday Mr. Bement was elected president of the league, but against his own wishes, however, but he accepted the position rather than see Ed H. Bingham, of Indianapolis, elected. Some of the. magnates believed that Bingham was-being shoved forward by Watkins, of the Indianapolis club, and as the capital magnate is non persona grata with the Central league it was thought that the interests of the organization would' not be subserved by the election of a man close to Watkins.

Local Comment.

-The Terre Haute Express says: Mr. Smith was one of the men to support G. W. Bement for president-secretary-treasurer of the league after there was a deadlock lasting sis hours due to the candidacy of Mr. White, of Chicago, and Ed H. Bingham, of the Indianapolis Sentinel. It was thought at first that Bingham would get the place, but when Mr. White entered the race unexpectedly he secured the support of four cities, including Terre Haute. The two objections raised to Bingham were that lie lacked a thorough business training and that he was too close to Watkins. On the other hand. White has served as president of the old International and Eastern leagues some years ago and h*d experience of value that gave him an endorsement for the place

The Terre Haute Gazstte says: The league will be managed this season by an executive committee with G. W. Bement, of the Evansville club, as chairman. This plan was adopted after an unsuccessful attempt to elect a president. Bingham, of Indianapolis, who, before the meeting, was thought to be a sure winner for president, was beaten because it was suspected that he was too close to the wily Watkins anfl, with him. had been fighting the amendment to the Sunday base ball bill. C. W. Halderman, of Marion, was made vice president.

Next to having wisdom yourself is the ablity to profit by the wisdom of others.

It is a mean man who would throw up a New Year's resolution to another at this late day.

LETTER FROM SECRETARY D. H. DURBIN OF POLO LEAGUE-.

WESTERN ONLY SIX CLUBS

Might Be Increased to an Eight Club Circuit to Include Terre Haute— One Franchise Open.

The Tribune department of- sports has received the following encouraging letter from Secretary "D. H. Durbin, of the Western Roller Polo League/relative'to Terre Haute entering the league for next season: "The matter of admitting additional towns to our- league will be, considered at our annual meeting to be. held here on the second Friday in April. Applications for membership should be made in writing, and accepted or rejected by a majority vote of the directors. Each of the six teams now in the league is entitled to one vote. It is generally conceded that the franchise will be granted for Marion, Tnd. Ah eight elub league would not be a bad arrangement. In^ dividually, there is no other town, outside of Marion, that I would rather see in than Terre Haute. The game is played in these parts according to rules laid down in Spald'ing's Offiicial Roller Polo

When President L. D. Smith of the base, ball association was at Anderson last week he was approached by Ei B. Doran, of.Jhe South Bend association, relative to therformation of .a new league.„Mr. Smith said he was willing, but the matter did not proceed farther. It is apparent that if Terre Haute cares to enter a. league and would enter the' Western it would be better than to go into an entirely new organization of untried strength.-

Talk of Toledo.

It is still possible that there -may he Some changes in the Central league schedule before the playing season., begins. If Toledo should be dropped from the American association it is hot unlikely that the Central league' will pass'by the opportunity to strengthen its'Circuit, and this may be at the expense of Wheeling.

Mr.' Bemont points out that the mileage must-be held as low. as possible yet thi^t the dates should be'arranged conveniently. Long jumps will be avoided all possible. Anderson and Marion have requested that few games be played there during August, as. many of .the heavy wags earners leave the city at that time.

THE T. H. TURN VEREIN "FIDDLERS TO FIDDLE" MINERS WON VICTORY

WOODMEN CAMP ARRANGING FOR UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT^

NO VIOLINISTS ARE ALLOWED

The "Old Fiddlers" Contest With .... New Features Will Be Given at the Grand Opera House.

John L. Peters of Cayuga was in the city yesterday arranging the prcliminr aries for putting on the "Old Fiddlers' Contest" at the Grand Opera House on the night of March 18.

The entertainment will be under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen lodge No. 3376, and the members have begun a determined effort to make the aff&ir a success and a record-breaker in the line of fraternal entertainments. Mr. Peters is the originator of the old fiddlers' contest and has put the contests on in some of tile largest cities in Indiana and surrounding states. The contests call from the wOods some of the fiddlers of iong ago, who furnished music for the cotilions in the time of log cabins, barn door pantaloons and corn-pone. The old tunes will be brought back to the present and patrons will be permitted to know and see how the fiddler '"danced" and "called off" awaj- back yonder before the advent of fingerbowis and golf. Several new features will be added, which will contribute to the mirth of the entertainment, prominent among which is the old-time husking bee and the cotilions which were danced at the beginning of Hoosier history.

In the husking bee Mr. Peters will give a prize of a $20-gold piece and no person under the age of fifty years will be permitted to enter the' contest^ The other prizes which will be donated by local merchants will be appropriate and expensive, and it is assured that there will be a mirth-provoking rivalry among the old-time dancers, corn buskers and fiddlers. The bills will be printed early this week, giving the program of the tunes to be played in the contests together with a list of prizes.

Soap and Civilization.

A bill has been introduced in congress to place Guam under civil government. From the time Guam became American territory, on the day that the-Spanish governor could not salute the American ships that captured the island because lie had no powder, until the present, the island'has been under military rule, in care of the navy department. "What makes this new Guam bill more than ordinarily noticable, however, is the fact that coincident with its introi duction in congress came the inforrna-

SECURE A FOURTEEN PiER CENT INCREASE BY. AGREEMENT.

MEETING HERE NEXT MONTH

Will Agree on Employment of Shooters in Mines "When There is Unusual Danger.,,

The Indiana miners and operators, at their state meeting, in Terre Haute, March 4, will agree on the employment oi shooters in certain mines where there is unusual danger and unusually poor ventilation, says the Indianapolis News.

It is also said that the Indiana operators offered' the miners an increase over what they would receive under the sca'.e that the conference had at that time practically agreed on.

It is said that the withdrawal of the bill, .from the operators' point of view, means that it will be several years before it can be successfully introduced again, and that in future settlements the operators will have the advantage in this respect.

After a week's work, the miners artd operators' joint scale committee and its subcommittee reached an agreement Saturday morning. The miners made some concessions from their original stand, but they came out with such a large advance that iiie settlement this year can be well regarded as the greatest victory of the organization in the bituminous fields. By the agreement, the pick miners and day laborers will be advanced l%y2 per cent., the drivers 22 per cent., and 8 cents is added to the cost of machine mined coal.

The S cents a ton on machine mined coal was the last concession made by the operators. The miners refused to make settlement^1 in open convention the first of the week, and their representatives on the scale committee also refused to make settlement, demanding that the price on machine mined coal be advancea the 10 ccnts that pick mined coal was advanced. Through all of the first executive sessions of the scale committee, President Mitchell and the miners held to the demand for 10 cents advance. The operators finally offered 8 cents, and the miners at last canie to it. To this S cents is added the Vi'/U per cent, advance paid to the followers of the machine.

While the scale that is signed is only for the three states and the western section of Pennsylvania, it will be-used as the basis for setlements made by the organization in the twenty other mining states'!....

The Indiana and the Illinois operators and miners blocked a settlement sooner: and thev were, it is said, at last forced

tion that we are now sending to Guam nearly ten times as much soap as we sent in liie by operators of Ohio and west a year ago. This is, indeed, encouraging. If the natives of the island are taking ten baths now where they took one before, it means that they are rapidly absorbing civilization, and that tlie time is not far distant when they will require boots and breeches—which wre shall take pleasure in furnishing them at a fair profit. There is an opinion abroad that the consumption of soap and whisky marks the progress in civilization of a formerly savage tribe. If that is true, then the Guamites bid fair to take rank with the most civilized communities or peoples before the first quarter of the new century shall have elapsed. Each ship stopping at the island has as part of her cargo the articles mentioned—the liquid "civilizer," however, in larger quantities than the solid one.

ern Pennsylvania, who threatened to sign a scale with the miners for themselves and go home and leave the Indiana and Illinois people to fight out their battles alone.

The shooters' bill in the Indiana legislature was the stumbling block for the Indiana people. After seevral conferences the Indiana miners and operatojes finally got together and agreed to go before the legislature and have the bill Avithdrawn! It is said that even in this settlement the miners came out with colors flying.
