There Is Some Question as to Whether Bluffton Should Be Admitted and Muncie May Get That Franchise.

The meeting of the promoters of the Indiana-Ohio baseball league which was scheduled for next Monday, has been postponed until next Friday. At this meeting the applications of prominent sporting men in Lima, O., Piqua, O., and Hamilton, O., for the admission of these cities into the league, will be considered." ""If the promoters are impressed with the propsitions submitted by these' applicants, it is very probable that Lima, Piqua and liamilton will be awarded franchises. 1 The admission of these three cities into the league, would make the organization comprise seven clubs, four Ohio cities and three Indiana cities. It would be necessary to add an eighth city to the league, and Muncie would probably be awarded the franchise. With the three Ohio cities which have just applied for franchises, the league would include Richmond, Anderson, Uluffton. -Van Wert,-' Lima. Piqua and Hamilton. Some of the parties Interested in the .formation of the league are anxious to have Bluffton dropped, as it is feared this city is too small to support the article of baseball to be offered. Frank Kunyan of Bluffton. is one of the principal promoters of the league, and he Is determined to have Bluffton included in the circuit. Any effort to oust that city would induce Runyan to cause trouble. -He is a thorough sportsman and a splendid baseball man. and those interested with him In organizing the league, would be glad to have him take a franchise in some other city than BluPfov. preferably Muncie. but Fran!; . v , f see it in that light. He says ti .it Bluffton is a good baseball town and would support its team as well as any city in the league. PACIFIC COiST IS HELPLESS IN WAR ( Commander of United States Army in B. C.

HA! LESE MAJESTEE! TEDDY BEAR CRAZE PASSING AWAY

Richmond toy dealers declare that 1 the Teddy bear craze is dying out. ) When the stores closed on Christmas j night, most of the toy departments jwere cleared out, except for the Teddy : bears. During the holiday rush hundreds of dogs, elephants, monkeys and j rabbits, made of furry cloth and stufNews of the T. P. A. The National Secretary's report in the last issue of the T. P. A.

It also gives Indiana division 0,118 chapters and Missouri 0.1OS, and if Indiana is not mighty "keerful," Missouri will get ahead of them pretty soon. It certainly behooves everybody to hustle and get all the members they possibly can. We notice iu perusing the pages of the T. F. A. Magazine this month that Tost N at Marion gave a banquet on Dec. L'tith. at which a most excellent time was had. AVe aliso notice that Post I) of Frankfort. Ind., gave a clam bake at the Coulter House, at which 185 people were present, and a veryfine menu was served. They hud with them a number of state officers and several national officers and a most excellent time was reported. After looking over tae write Up of these banquets held by the various posts over the state, as well as the number that are held by posts in ather states, it does really seem too bad that a large, flourishing post like Post C, of Richmond. Indiana, has members who do not take sufficient interest in affairs of this kind to make It worth while to the hard working members, who are willing at any time to take the burden of an affair of this kind and push it. and occasionally have a smoker, clam bake or some ither interesting entertainment. Post C has SI 8 members and in this membership is numbered the leading manufacturers, jobbers, house salesmen, buyers and traveling salesmen of the city of Richmond. It is certainly an organization that we should be proud of and one that is worthy of the earnest support or everyone of it's members. Will Young, formerly of Richmond, but now traveling for the Jackson Corset company, of Jackson, Mich., with headquarters there. visited friends in Richmond this week. Horace Starr was in St. Louis last week and while there called at National headquarters.

ORAL TESTIMONY IS ALL IN. Georgetown,"1 Ky., Dec. 28. All the oral testimony from both sides in the Caleb Powers trial was in late yesterday afternoon. The rebuttal testimony of the prosecution began in the morning, the evidence closing with the testimony of two witnesses in sur-re-buttal. There is nothing left but the reading of a portion of the records of the previous trials of Caleb Powers, Berry. Howard, James Howard and Henry Youtsey for the purpose of offering contradictions of witnesses who have testified in the recent trial. It is anticipated that this will be completed today, when the court will begin the preparation of his instructions to the Jury. The defense will have four speeches, one each from Attorneys S. M. Wilson, William Smith, W. C. Owens and Judge J. C. Sims. The prosecution will have three speeches, by Attorney Victor E. Bradley, Judge Benjamin Williams, with the closing argument by Commonwealth's Attorney R. B. Franklin. Nine hours will be allowed each side for argument. Missing Bonds Found. San Francisco, Dec. 28. A portion of the stocks and bonds of the Colton estate which J. Dalzell Brown and Walter Bartnett, manager and attorney respectively of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company were accused of embezzling, have been found in the vaults of the bank. When the California Safe Deposit and Trust company closed its doors recently the Colton securities, which were supposed to be in the vaults of the bank, could not be found and search was instituted In banks of London and New York. In the meantime Brown and Bartnett were Inducted by the grand jury for having taken the securities out of the state. It is believed that the recovery of the securities will invalidate all the indictments against the bank officials. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY,

LOCALS TOUTED AS WINNERS BY THE PRESS. The Star Says That Polo Is Receiving Support All Over The State and There May Be Universal Revival. In speaking of the polo game to be played between the Richmond five and the Indianapolis Reserves at Indianapolis New Years ever the Star says: A Richhmond five will be brought to this city to open the polo season in a game with the local team New Year's night. It will be the first roller contest since the old state league and the local fans are all anxious for the time to start the game. Polo is receiving a large support throughout the state and the plans for the new league are now just ripening. Locally the sport has not been put before the public and the game New Year"s night will be the initial performance on a local floor. The Richmond five is one of the strongest in the state and a hard game is expected. Indianapolis will be represented by almost the identical team that played under the name of the Habich five in the old amateur league. Drafted to the O. P. League. In 19i this team was drafted to the O. P. league, where it played under the name of the Newcastle five. At this city the local boys learned the game, and though only in the semiprofessional class they compose one of the best teams this state can produce without drawing upon professional resources. Frost and Sampsell art two of the fastest rushes in the , state and will make some of the visitors hustle. The two Kenworthys need no introduction to the local followers of the sport, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will make good. Canfield is also a man with a reputation. The Richmond five will not be left in the lurch in the fact that the locals have all the good material. The team that will come from Richmond is also a championship team, it being the team that captured the amateur title the last season that polo was played in that city. At that time it was called the Fairview five and it established m viable record among the am
