I'AUIS TWO.

NEED TWO COURTS

This the High School Tennis Players Say in Regard To Play Grounds. SCHEDULE FOR SCHOOL. Prof. NT. C. Ueironimus states that the high school will not get more time on the school ground tennis courts than they now have. At present the high school tennis players have the two east courts every Tuesday and Thursday and on account of the large number of players at the school who wish to play. Manager Robert Thornburg has asked Prof. J-feironimus for more room. The reason given for the refusal is that last term the high school had two nights and they failed to have both courts filled. Prof. Ueironimus states that as soon as the high school shows that it needs two more courts, they will get them. The schedule for the high school team both in singles and in doubles will he made out tomorrow and the playing will commence next week. There is a good deal of interest manifested by the students and It Is believed that there will be some hot games pulled off. TEAMS MEET TONIGHT Richmond Polo Aggregation Will Meet Coshocton, 0., League Team. OTHER GAMES SOON. Tonight the Richmond and Coshocton polo teams clash at the Coliseum and a fast game la anticipated. Both teams have met once before this season; the contest resulting In a local victory. Next week Captain Parry of the locals hopes to offer the local fans some exhibition games with other Ohio State league teams. These teams are being brought here at the expense of the players on the Richmond team and good patronage is deserved. HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS Locals Will Line Up Against New Madison, 0., Tomorrow. PROSPECTS ARE ONLY FAIR. After several weeks of practice, the baseball prospects at the Richmond high school for this coming spring maybe termed mediocre. Of last year's squad there is Allison for third base, and pitcher; Spangler. second base; Clements, center field and pitcher; Karns, pitcher; Ferling, catcher; Clendenin, left field. ' The remainder of the positions are filled by new players. The fight for positions on the team will be so weak that all these men on the team will hold their last year's positions. Ferling will undoubtedly do the catching for the team as he is the only one who has tried for this position so far this season. Although he has never had very much experience in fast company, it is hoped that he will round into shape before the game Saturday with the New Madison high school team. There are three slab artists who' might be used in a pinch. They are Allison, Johnston and Clements. Allison has the most experience and has shown the most form up to date. At present there is only one candidate for first base and that is Johnston, who is a good fielder and has a very good batting eye. Spangler is the only candidate for second base and he is a good fielder, and a pood batter. Starr plays shortstop and has shown that he is a clever little fielder. Besides Clements for centerfield, none of the other candidates have had very much experience. IS IN THE CITY Is Accompanied by Griffith, Racine Star. i George Cunningham, Jr., of this city! and a member of the old world's cham-j pion Richmond Western league team, ' arrived In the city yesterday. He was 1 accompanied by Griffith, the former j llaeine star, who will be well remembered by local polo enthusiasts. Cunningham Jr., and Griffith have been playing this season with the Bridge- i port. Conn., New England League ; team. "Bhi.'Tr: i. you nevknow when he is telling the truth. IK pays he has been presented at court Co you think he is telling the truth V" "I think he is."

Affairs of the

(By Tort.) Yesterday was almost a perfect one from a ball players standpoint and Jessup's seventeen candidates, minus Jessup, who did not arrive home from the east, put in several hours of hard work at Athletic park in praperation for the Brooklyn game Sunday. This game will Ikj the event of the training season and it is expected, the Weather Man permitting, that' 'Athletic park will be crowded by fans anxious to get a lint; on the local ball tossers and a glimpse at the National Ix-aguers. Lumley, one of the greatest outfielders in the business, is with this team. Vets and Colts May Play. Saturday it is probable that two teams composed of candidates for the local league team and known as the Vets and the Colts will lineup at Athletic park. This contest will be an interesting one and sure to draw a big crowd. Hunt in Trouble. There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth at Van Wert. The National Commission has ruled that Louie Hunt, the popular manager of the Van Wert.s, is not the property of that team but belongs to the Sharon team of the O. P. league. If Van Wert wants Louie to continue at the head of the club it will be necessary to purchase his release from the Sharon club. Fight For Position. The fight for the shortstop job Is growing warmer and warmer. Iledjuk, Flant and Minzler are each confident that they will be the one selected for the place. On the form displayed by these lads it will be hard for Manager Jessup to make a choice. OLD HEADS SIGNED Polo Players Will Return Here As Jessup Has Their Contracts. THE CREAM OF P0L0D0M. Manager Jessup of the Richmond baseball team returned this morninig from an eastern trip. He went to various points in New England for the purpose of signing players for the exhibition polo games to be held at the Coliseum the week, of April 20, under the auspices of the local lodge of Elks. He states that he secured the contracts from all the players it was proposed to play on the two teams. These two teams will present the following lineups: Richmond. . All Stars. Bone First Rush Iliggins Cunningham Sr., Second Rush Hart Cunningham, Jr Mansfield . .Center Gardner Doherty Half Back Cameron Jessup Goal Sutton A TRICK OF THE TRADE. Boar This In Mind Whan You Purchase Art Treasures Abroad. A warning to picture buyers that was published in Paris by the versatile and fiery Frenchman, M. Rochefort, may well be laid to heart by wealthy Americans and others who are disposed to purchase works of art on their face value and without challenging the credentials that are lavishly raraded. It is of course the picture dealers in Faris who need to be specially watched, and M. Rochefort tells a good story iu illustration of the care that should be used. A customer had bought an authentic picture by an old master in an excellent state of preservation and expressed his intention of taking it with him. The dealer, on the other hand, insisted strongly on sending it home by one of his employees. "If you are afraid that we will change the picture, you have only got to write your name on the back," said the shopman. But the customer had his way. When he reached home, he undid his purchase and discovered that a copy of the original canvas had been nailed behind the genuine picture, so that if the customer had placed his signature on the back of the picture he would have written it on the copy. The dealer would have maintained that that was the picture he had bought, and the original would have remained in the possession of the dealer. Argonaut. TOO STRONG A BLUFF. The Boy Meant Well, but Carried His Instructions Too Far. The proprietor of one of New York's fashionable hotels was talking about the crush that restaurants experience on New Year's eve, Washington's birthday and other holidays. "But I must not boast,' said he. "It is bad luck. A grocer ia my boyhood told me that. The grocer said that he had once engaged a new boy and had exhorted this boy always to give customers the impression that they were very busy. " "Whether we are actually busy or not, say we are busy,' the grocer said. 'Tell people we are, for they like to deal with brisk, go ahead firms that do a large trade.' "Well, an hour or so later a brougham drove up. and the rich Judge's wife entered. She did not stay long. The boy looked after her. And on her departure the grocer said to the boy: " 'Did Mrs. Judge Brown leave a very large order. James?' "'She was goin' to,' said the boy. 'She had a list as long as yer arm. Bat I looked mad and told Iter we was so busy I hardly seed how I could stop to tend to her, so 6he said, beln as she was in a hurry, she'd just go next door.' "Exchange.

Sporting World

Hanna states that he Is trying for a position In the outfield. Spitball Artist. Pitcher Mason, the latest local recruit, is a spitball artist. Yesterday afternoon he was trying this delivery and he handled It perfectly. He will be a most valuable addition to the j staff. Aresmith is also displaying ex- i cellent form. Manager Jessup will have no difficulty in picking an excellent pitching staff. Apply For Right. League officeYs have forwarded a communication to Secretary Farrell of the National Association of Minor leagues, applying for territorial rights for Richmond, Van Wert, Logansport, Huntington. Piqua, Anderson and Muncie. There is but little doubt that the I. O. league will be taken into the fold of organized base ball and will be given territorial rights for the cities mentioned in the application. Baird is Active. Richard Baird, who will have charge of the Logansport team, is at home, endeavoring to close an arrangement for some of the surplus talent under contract to Van Wert. A number of releases will be handed out by Manager Hunt, after the men have been given an opportunity to show their talents and it is from the list of rejected material that Manager Baird hopes to pick up several men necessary to round out his team. Smith Makes Hit. Jack Smith has made a big hit with the Huntington fans. Smith will manage, captain and play second base for the Miamis. Ist year he was with the Ft. Wayne Shamrocks. Smith has a big squad of recruits working out at Huntington. WITH YES FILLED WITH TEARS THOMAS (Continued From Page One.) as a gavel as the chairman had been unable to make a noise sufficient to be heard with the small instrument provided for him originally. Townspeople Attended. Many of. the townspeople crowded into the hall for the evening session, and it was apparent they would join in the wild applause. It seemed that the majority of Shelbyvllle's "disinterested'' citizens favored Davidson, but the county delegation was In a front seat on the Barnard wagon, when it finally went by. The convention hall was kept in an uproad by the antics of some of the Davidson and Barnard rooters. The men from Greensburg and New Castle, were the champion' rooters and frequently marched about in restricted space, displaying banners urging votes for their candidates. There was a feeling of certainty about the Barnard delegation at all times. The Greensburg delegation led off in the noisemaking, but as the late hours came on their enthusiasm died, not because of loss of hope, but because of the physical strain that had broken their wind bags and cracked their voices. Crowds Accommodated. Shelbyville was found amply able to accommodate the crowds. There was plenty to eat and, although hotel accommodations were found Insufficient Wednesday night, the town did the best it could and that was all that could be expected. The delegations that accompanied the candidates kept up lively times outside of the convention hall. The building could not accommodate all that were anxious to secure admittance, and so those who were denied entrance, had to find amusement and entertainment in booming their candidates on the outside. Many schemes were resorted to mislead the general public as to the result of the balloting. Bulletins were posted about the town by those interested in certain candidates and it was to appear always that their favor ite was far In the lead. Davidson in Tears. When the motion of Thomas David son to make the nomination of Barnard unanimous, was made, the delegates began to crowd toward the doors. All Knew wnat was coming and all were anxious to leave the hall after such a prolonged session. Judge Barnard was lifted upon the shoulders of his rooters and sat there while Davidson i presented his motion. The facial ex pression of Davidson was hut superficial indication of the tumult that was raging within. His eyes were filled with tears when he stated that for the last eight minutes he had been moved with conflicting emotions that left him in a quandary. There was abundant sympathy for the man. He had seen victory snatched from within his grasp when he needed but one and two-fifths vote to win and the laurel wreath thrown to his rival in the last minuteHe pledged his support to the nominee and assured Judge Barnard of his cooperation against the enemy. The story of the ballots follows: On the first ballot the vote stood: Campbell 2S 2-3: Barnard 22 2-3; Davidson. 17 2-3: Moore, 16 2-3; Hough 15 2-3; S'Jvers. 14 2-3. On the Second, Third. Fourth. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth ballots, the vote stood: Campbell 2S 2-3; Davidson IS 2-3; Hough. 15 2-3; Barnard, 21 2-3; Moore 16 2-3: Stivers 14 2-3. On the ninth ballot Stivers took the lead, Shelby county going solid to Stivers. The vote stood: Campbell 26 1-6; Da.vidoa 16 1-6; Hough 13 1-6; Barnard 19 1-6", Moore 14 1-6; Stivers 27 1-6. On the tenth Shelby went to Hough. The vote was Campbell 26 1-6; Davidson 16 1-6; Hough 29 1-6; Moore 14 1-6; Barnard 19 1-6; Stivers 11 1-6. Telegrams from Watson were read to

the convention and were received with cheers. On the eleventh Moore received Shelby's IS votes. Moore led with

30 1-6 and Hough fell to 11 l b. On the twelfth Barnard gained one and Franklin and Shelby went to Davidson, giving him 32 1-6. On the thirteenth Shelby gave Barnard 16, making him 33 1-6. On the fourteenth Shelby gave Campbell 16 making him 42 1-6. Fifteenth ballot Hough 15 2-3: Moore 16 2-3; Barnard 22 2-3; Davidson IS 2-3; Campbell 28 2-3; Stivers 13 2-3. Campbell gained and Stivers lost one on the sixteenth ballot. Hough gained one, Barnard lost one on the seventeenth. At the time of the eighteenth ballot on the seventeenth, the deadlock was on in earnest. Fj-anklin county began the flirting but there was no decisive change. The dead lock continued from the twentieth to twenty-ninth with no prospect of break. On the twenty-ninth ballot, the Rev. J. O. Campbell lead with a vote of 2S 2-3 votes. A deadlock ensued and it seemed probable that the balloting would continue throughout the night. There was the wildest excitement. The deadlock on tr forty-third ballot showed no signs of breaking. The convention hall was in an uproar and loud cheering for all candidates continued. The deadlock continued on fiftieth ballot. Delegates were looking worn, although they remained staunch for their favorite candidates. Campbell's following was going wild. Cheers for him were shaking the rafters in the old convention hall. Balloting was remarkably rapid. The sixty first was taken in exactly thirty seconds. Intermission was then tak en. Then followed music by the bands. There was no change on the seventy-fifth. On the one hundredth ballot the deadlock continued. The vote remained unchanged rn the hundredth ballot. The Richmond band was the only diversion in the convention hall. It kept tooting away with a vengeance. Many delegates left the convention hall for supper and returned with lunch baskets, prepared to spend the night. There was no waver on the two lain dred and fiftieth ballot. The crowd began to return from supper after this ballot was taken and the enthusiasm was renewed after it had lapsed dur ing the interval. Candidates were cheered to the echo. The strain had begun to tell on the delegates. On the three hundredth ballot the county leaders were active in work ing the floor but with no indications of success. The vote was unchanged and the prospects were that the record of the Eighth district would be equaled or broken. Repeated motions to adjourn for supper were ruled out of order by the chairman. Delegates began reading the newspapers. There was talk at this time of inducing Stivers to withdraw from the race. Conferences were held about seven o'clock and it appeared that the first real break would come about 7: SO o'clock. Shelby county which had nothing at stake was expected to lead and Franklin to follow. Shelby was expected to favor Davidson and Stivers, unless the leader left the field. The attitude of the chairman in refusing to permit an adjournment prevented combines. Pandemonium was at its heighth. The din was the most terrific that has marked any contention in this district in years. Bands were playing, men fnouting through megaphones and those who were not yelling were holding their ears. A rumor was abroad that an attempt would be made to stampede the convention to Barnard or Davidson. The chairman was helpless and was not able to obtain order. There was no change on the three hundred and fiftieth ballot. By a vote of 79 to 34 it was agreed thr.t no more ballots be taken until all delegates were seated. A roll call of the counties was held to learn the absentees from the convention hall. Five Rush county delegates were absent and three minutes were allowed to get them in the room. Henry county's delegation appeared with flags to enliven matters. Cries of "Stay with him" were heard from the outside delegations when Campbell's name was mentioned. Balloting was soon resumed. On the three hundred and fifty-third ballot Shelby gave Stivers 16 votes, making the totals as follows: Stivers 26 1-6; Moore 13 1-6; Hough 18 1-6; Barnard 19 1-6; Davidson 16 1-G: Campbell 26 1-6. Chas. Campbell then announced that Shelby, Rush and Franklin counties had done their duty nobly and urged a union to bring about a nomination. Shelby county resumed her early tactics of passing complimentary votes around. Hough was given Shelby's 16 on the three hundred and fifty fourth. An Indication or a break was greeted with prolonged cheers. Shelby's votes went to Davidson on next ballot. There was no other change on the three hundred and fifty-seventh ballot. Barnard received Shelby's votes and on the next they went to Campbell. Franklin county gave Bar votes. Campbell's vote was 42 1-6: Barnard 23 1-6; Moore 12 1-6; Hough 13 1-6; Stivers 9 1-6; Davidson 16 1-6. On the next the vote of Shelby went back to fractional votes and Franklin left Barnard and returned to the vote of four hours back. Campbell 28 2-3; Barnard 21 2-3; Davidson 18 2-3; Moore 17 2-3; Hough 15 2-3: Stivers 13 2-3. Again Chas. Campbell urged Rush to break, saying no one would blame Watson. On the three hundred and sixtieth ballot the delegates crowded into the aisles to start a stampede. Shelby gave Barnard 12 aad others a 2j vote. The standing at this point was: Hough. 13 2-3: Moore 17 2-3; Barnard 22 2-3; Davidson IS 2-3; Campbell 2S 2-3; Stivers 12 2-3. Franklin gave Davidson 1 and Stivers 6 on the next ballot. Shelby gave Hough 2. Moore 2, Barnard 6, Davidson 2. Campbell 2 and Stivers 2. TJie vote stood: Hough 13 1-6; Moore 14 Barnard 23 1-0; Davidson 18 1-6; Cam pell 28 1-6; Stivers 151-6.

INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT CONVENTION.

E. M. Haas, district chairman, said it was the greatest convention in the history of the district. He wished : Shelbyville to b3 praised for the ; plendid accommodations provided. ' The visiting newspaper men were especial. y grateful tor the arrange ments made for them. Tables and , stationery had been provided in ab ;ndance. The Western Union had plac-j ed two wires in the convention hall j and the click of the instruments send-; ing information to the press of the j district was incessant. j Kin Hubbard, charicaturist for tht

Indianapolis News, was on hand with.Uon ancj it was thought it would reult

his note book. He was seated in the orchestra pit and asked how he could j be expected to draw pictures by looii-1 ing under a man's chin. j Linus Meredith was the champion ! all star rooter of the Wayne county delegation. Meredith was not an original Campbell man, but he was the on ly real live wide-awake rooter for me preacher that went from Richmond. ( Meredith's demonstrations were futile as he could not arouse his follow republicans to an over abundance of cheers. The candidacy of Campbell was the outcome of a casual remark. Returning from a, commencement at Hagerstown a year ago with Charles Jordan, Harry Penny and Will Trussler. Campbell w-ns eongtulated upon the speech he had made. He was jollied somewhat and finally remarked heguessed he would have to run for congress. Later he gave the matter serious consideration and reminded his three companions of the carriage ride they had pledged him their support in case he made the race. He had it. William Blodgett, staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News, owes his privilege of attending the convention and receiving the usual courtesies, to Chairman Haas. A few of the "hot heads" of the district, who have become incensed because of his writings took exceptions to granting him the right to the floor of the convention and wanted him barred. Mr. Haas stated the move was rediculous and Blodgett received the usual consideration extended to him. Republicans from all parts of the district leaned forward on their seats and gasped, when J. Bennett Gordon, of this city, seconded the motion to approve the resolutions. Gordon's name also appears as secretary of the resolution committee. The resolu tions constitute an eulogistic endorsement of James E. Watson and Charles W. Fairbanks. Will Floyd of Dublin and Ora Dun bar of Centerville were assistant secretaries. Floyd's voice made him the most popular man in the capacity. Henry Deuker acted as chairman of the Wayne county delegation and his "twenty-four votes for Campbell" led strangers to wonder when the much expected break in Wayne county's vote would come. Never was there a more grateful group of men than that which became recipients of the sack of ham sandwitches donated by Al Spekenheir to the newspaper writers. During the morning session there were but three women in the conven tion. In the evening they were num erous. Mrs. J. O. Campbell occupied a teat on the stago beside her husband until supper time. Afterward she obtained a seat with friends in the audience. Mrs. Wm. Blodgett was seated beside her husband while he was busy with his pencil throughout the con vention. She was a strong rooter for Barnard. The mention of Watson's name always brought shouts of approval from all sides. The staying power shown by Stivers, Moore and Hough was regarded as remarkable. Alonzo Gardner said it was worth the while. He has secured the nomination for Joint representative of Wayne and Fayette without opposi tion in the primary or district conven tions. Bed coverings were not very abun dant at the Ray house and that furn ished for several cots was copped by the first guests to arrive. Harry Penny says it was a shame the way the Wayne delegation broke from Campbell and insists he could have been nominated in time. cnanes campoeii, wnne acting as chairman, was insistent in his appeals to Rush and Shelby to break their votes. Campbell was believed to fa vor Davidson. George Llllott, of New Castle, was busy sending bulletins to the Courier office, chewing cigars and rooting for Barnard. The Richmond City band which accompanied the local delegation gave several concerts. Shelbyvillites voted it the best in town. It was composed of 24 pieces. ond Franklin went solid to Moore. Shelby gave two to the five candidates and six to Barnard. Wajne county broke and gave Barnard 1. Moore 1, Davidson 6, Campbell 16. Total, Hough 131-6; Moore 22 1-6; Barnard 26 1-0; Davidson 23 1-6; Campbell 20 1-6; Stivers 9 1-6. The fight then seemed to have settled between Barnard and Davidson. In the struggle on the three hundred and sixty-sixth, Shelby gave 2 to Hough. Stivers, Davidson, Campbell and 5 to Barnard. Wayne county gave Barnard 2. Davidson 1, Campbell 13. The total was: Hough 151-6; Moore 171-6; Barnard 271-6; Davidson 27 1-6; Campbell 171-6; Stivers 121-6." On the three hundred and sixty-seventh Moore was given 3. Stivers 3 and Davidson 1, by Franklin county. Shelby gave Moore 2. Campbell 1, Barnard 6 1-6; Davidson 6i Wayne gave Moore 1, Barnard 2, Davidson 9, Campbell 12. The vote was: Hough 16; Moore 18: Barnard 27 2-3: Davidson 31 2-3; Campbell 15: Stivers 101-6. On th three hundred and sixtyeighth ballot the confusion grew.

Campbell was losing steadily and his prospects were regarded as lost. Shelby gave Barnard 4. Campbell l1, Moore , Davidson 3 j. Wayne county was ial!ed upon by one of her own rep

He said, "I thought if the nomination came to me, it would be through the Lord's interference." He thanked all and then withdrew. j On ballot three hundred and eighty-, four, Franklin gave Davidson 7. Shel- J by gave Davidson 10. Union gave Da-' vidson 3. Great pressure was brought , to bear to influence the Wayne delega-, tion to give Davidson enough to win. j It responded by giving Davidson 14. i Campbell .8 and Barnard 2. giving Da- j vidson a total of 37. Moore got 12 j votes. Hough 13, Barnard 21, Camp-! bell 10. J On ballot three hundred and eightyfive, Moore withdrew and he released his delegation, pledged to the support of the party. Campbell withdrew saying the crisis had arrived and thanked his friends and praised the loyalty of the Wayne county delega tion. Hough assured his support to! the nominee and thanking all wlth-J drew, ttarnard and Davidson were alone left in the race. The demonstration surpassed all others. The vote stood: Decatur, Davidson 13; i Fayette. Barnard 10; Franklin. David-j son 1. Barnard 6; Hancock, Barnard 11; Henry, Barnard 17; Rush. Barnard' 13: Shelby, Barnard 16. Davidson withdrew and congratulated Barnard and moved to make the nomination unanimous. A Greater Noise.

EVENED UP MATTERS.

The Way a Fine Imposed In Court Came to Be Remitted. A. raw mountaineer got back at Judge Mose Wright cf the Rome circuit la a ver:r clew way. v bile the judgw was presiding over the Chattooga su perior court he had occasion to plaster a fifteen dollar fine ou this maa because he fai'ed to appear la time aa a witness Ia a cae. "Say, jedge. hain't that purty steep T mildly inquired the Chattooga. I "No," was the reply. "You know yoti were aa important witness la this case and ought to have been here. I wl'l , ui'nd payment, however, and hold it omt you to see that there Is no like trouble ia the future." I Later Judge Wright was spending a , few weeks at Menlo. a popular summer report ia rhatttna county, several miles from a railroad. He had a ( pavkajje to roiue out from Summer- : ville. and the b: mouutalneer happened to deliver it.
