l'AGE TWO.

LEAGUE WILL START WITH FOUR TEAMS Piqua and Anderson Seem to Have Joined the Graveyard Class. CUBS AND VETS PLAYING.

THOUGHT GOOD SIZED CROWD WOULD BE PRESENT AT CONTEST THIS AFTERNOON THE BROOKLYN TEAM ON SUNDAY. It has ben definitely sotted that, at. least to start with, the I.-O. base ball league will bo composed of four cities, Richmond, Logausport, Huntington In Indiana and Van Wert in Ohio. The organization will be under national protection and will be known as a class D league. After the opening of tho Reason, when the' weather gets Rood and hot and the fans Ret. the base ball fever bad, if is probable that, two other cities will organize clubs and become affiliated with the I.-O. league. All of the four towns in the league are good ball towns and the league promises to be a groat success. Next week a league meeting will be held at Huntington for the purpose of arranging a schedule. Anderson appears to be a base ball grave yard. The fans there appear to be anxious to have the town represented in the league, but they want some out of town promoter to organize the club. The same condition of affairs exists in Piqua. The Richmond players were prevented from practicing yesterday hecause of the unfavorable weather. This afternoon the colts and the vets are scheduled to lineup against each other at Athletic park and It is expected that there will be a good sized crowd on hand. Tuesday, President Dick Paird of the Ixgansport team will have his outfit, of hopefuls report for preliminary practice. Mr. Halrd has arranged a nice schedule of exhibition games. By the way he is sweet on a local player. Gov. Minzler, the little short fiflder. Recently he sent a love letter to Gov. Owing to an attraction at Wabash, Ind., Catcher Lindsley spends a greater part of his time with his pe.i in hand. Yesterday he was rewarded for his labors by receiving a nice fat letter. After reading It, however, he became convinced tiiat it was a fraud and is now demanding an explanation from his team mates. They all deny any knowledge of the matter. Tomorrow afternoon the Richmond team will cross bats with the Brooklyn National league team and the largest crowd ever in attendance at Athletic park is expected. OFF TO NEW MADISON High School Baseball Team Left for Ohio Town Today Unaccompanied. STUDENTS NOT INTERESTED After a lay off of two evenings on account, of the weather conditions, the high school baseball men left for new Madison this morning where they will proceed to get busy and chase the leather this afternoon with the team representing that town. During the first part of the week the candidates made an excellent showing in handling the stick. This part of the work seems to be improving slowly, but yet there are several o fthe men below average and do not seem to have the correct showing. The local team left with little interest being shown by the students in the game. There were no students accompanying the team, although it is only a short distance. The lineup of Richmond will be: Johnston, first base. Spangler. Karns, second basn. Starr, shortstop. Allison, third base. Bell, right field. Clements, center field. Dlngley. left field. Ferllng, catch. Brown, pitch. PROSPECTS FOR TEANMTERY POOR Hagerstown Fans Not Much Encouraged. Hagerstown. Ind.. April 11. Prospects for a base-ball team here this season are slim at the present. Several attempts have been made to organibe a team but no success has been met with. It is probable if one is organized it will be under the management of Charles Smith. MOURNERS FLED. Marion, Ohio, April 11. When pallbearers were carrying the corpse of Miliard Croman across a room at the family home in this city at the close of the funeral services today the floor over a cellar suddenly sank two feet. The room was filled with mourners, many of whom fled, panic-stricken. No one was injured wixiFiiisn: Gold Medal Flour is best for ptrv.

(By Tort.) George Cunningham. Sr., and Ado Mansfield, were on the Pawtucket team the past season. Jimmy Cameron played on the champion New Britain team. George Bone's New Haven outfit finished third.

At a meeting of the track candidates of the Richmond high school held this week, Karl Allison wa.s elected captain and F. L. Torrence was elected as manager. There was some twenty candidates in attendance and the inte rest shown by the prospetive candidates was very gratifying. The high school team this year will take part in two of the field meets, the one being the quadrangular field meet between Richmond. Anderson, Marion and Kokomo, held at Anderson May which leaves very little time for the local team to get down to practice necessary to their making a creditable showing. The Interscholastic. May U.'l. Is to be held at Bloomington under the auspices of the I. H. S. A. A. At Anderson, Ben Fisher, well known to local athletes has been selected captain and has ordered that all the candidates be out Monday. They have introduced rules for the track team which would be very valuable to the local team if the the management would get down and compel the candidates to obey them. The most important are, that there will be absolutely no smoking permitted by the men in training: also that swearing shall not be indulged in during the track training hours. The boys at Anderson have held several meetings and have been arousing the winning spirit in the boys, and it is very probable that, if the local school authorities would work on a like plan, that a good deal of interest would be shown and Anderson would not be able to win both cups as they did last year. It" the Anderson team wins this year's meet, the two cups awarded, will be Anderson's permanent, property. There is plenty of excellent material at the local high school, but on account of lack of interest there have only been three or four men out during the past week and those being Allison Spangler, Chapman and Burcham. Next Monday all the candidates have been ordered to be ready for a work out at. the play grounds. WATSON JIT BETHEL Will Open Campaign at That Place. IS ON MEMORIAL DAY. James E. Watson will open his campaign for governor at Bethel May 29, speaking at the Memorial Day exercises. Carelessness of the Hens. The Bridies had been in their new country house for scarcely a week before the girl who went out to hunt for strictly fresh eggs came back empty handed. "Where are the eggs, Ellen?" asked Mrs. Bridie. "Sure, mum, Oi couldn't foind a wan." "Did you look In the henhouse?' "Vis, mum." "And In the haymow?" "Oi wint all over the place." "And the manger?" "They warn't there, mum." "Well, sometimes Henry collects the eggs in a basket and hangs it under the cow shed." "Oi found the basket, but it wuz impty. Oi hunted all over the place and. high nor low. sorra a sign of thim eggs could Oi foind nnvwhere."

The grave and dignified head of the department looked at her and said: "My dear young lady, I am afraid I cannot do what you ask, although your big brown eyes" "Then the ayes have it," quick as a flash the young lady said.

MEN ARE INTERESTED Politics Holds Boards and Improvement Association Will Be Delayed. IS FOR THE EAST END. An effort is being made to organize an east end improvement association. The board of public works has granted permission to those back of the movement to hold meetings in the assembly room at the No. hose house. Next week it is probable that the first meeting will be held. It was stated today that an effort to arouse interest in the movement was not meeting with flattering success, owing to the fact that this is a presidential election year, and the men residing in the east end of the city are too much interested in politics to take an active interest in a movement such as proposed. J. T. Conner, an east end grocer, who is one of the leading spirits in the movement, stated today that it was probable that the association would not be organized until after the elections next November. "When the organization is effected, we want it to be a complete success. To make it so it is probable that an attempt at organization will be postponed until after the campaign so that the men residing in the east part ofthe city can give it the necessary attention," stated Mr. Conner.

RICHMOND POLO TEAM TAKES SCALP

Another Ohio League Team Went Down in Defeat Before Locals. SNAVELEY IN THE GAME. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM STAGE FRIGHT, KIBBEY GOAL TEND PLAYED AN EXCELLENT GAME FOR THE VISITORS. (By Tort.) Another Ohio State league outfit, Coshocton, was extinguished last evening by the Richmond polo team. Vital statistics Richmond 7, Coshocton f. The Quakers are making p collection of Ohio State league sculps. Mr. R. Hickey, the Buckeye goal tender, had a leaky pair of pin protectors and in the first period the local forwards eased four past him. Mr. Hickey 's team mates became peeved at him and after the first period the washboiler was attached to the leaky goal tend. In his place Snaveley, the Kibbey cage guardian, whj substituted. At the jump off Mr. Snaveley experienced a rush of blood to .he heart, but after accustoming himself to the role of target for the rapid fire of the Quaker rushes he settled down and played a splendid game, permitting only three drives to get past him. The game was a pretty one to watch. The Quiglcy brothers were in fine fettle and they swept the Ohio defense before them like the wind blows over the gentle jinison weeds. The offensive work of the locals in the first two periods was par excellent. In the finale the visitors made a game rally and had Sox Quigley not made a lucky goal at the opening of the last period the Buckeyes would have tied the score: Summary: Richmond Coshocton L.

COLLEGE CORNER HAS NOT RECOVERED Many Citizens Had Implicit Confidence in Huntsberger. MOTHER-IN-LAW IS ILL. MRS. SISSEN INTENDED TO PAY SURPRISE VISIT NOT KNOWING OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HER DAUGHTER'S HUSBAND. College Corner. Ind., April 11. This community has not recovered from the shock administered by the confession of John Huntsberger, that he stole $H from the receipts of the C, H. & D railroad and burned the depot to hide his crime. Huntsberger was the local agent for the company and although he was known to have been operating a bucketshop, the entire vicinity had implicit confidence in his integrity of character. This town was dazed in a way that seldom happens. The wife of Huntsberger could not be led to believe in his guilt, and all the way enroute to Liberty, where she went to see Huntsberger. who is confined in jail, she maintained faith in his innocence. It is but rare that the public receives fuc-h a blow to its beliet in the fidelity of mankind, as has befallen. The three children of the man cry for their "papa" and ask why he is kept in jail, and can not. come to see them. When Mrs. Sissen, mother of Mrs. Huntsberger, arrived from Cleveland, unexpectedly Tuesday, she came for a surprise visit. When phe left the train she noticed that the depot had burned. She wondered what had been the fate of her son-in-law, never dreaming the match had been applied by hi3 hands. When she went to the home, where she expected to find all rejoicing, she found them in tears. She was told her son-in-law was gone to Indianapolis to appear before a board of Inquiry". When news of the man's confession came, Mrs. Sissen suffered a nervous prostration, and has been confined to her bed since. FOR DECORATION DAY. The Ladies of the G. A.

I CENTRAL ONION TO BUILD EXCHANGE Equipment for New Structure Has Been in the City For Some Time. MANAGER HUTT0N TALKS. SAYS HE THINKS THAT A MODERN BUILDING WILL BE ERECTED ALTHOUGH ONES HIGHER UP SAY NOTHING. It is probable that within the next month the Central Union Telephone company will begin work on the construction of a ncv exchange building to be located on the lot on North Tenth street, purchased by the compa ny about two years ago. All the material for the equipment of a new exchange building is btored in this city, in fact it has been stored here for several weeks. Some of this material, such as switchboards, could not be placed in any kind of a structure except one built especially for such equipment. This kind of a structure would also have to be made of fireproof material. It is the general opinion that, if the company did not intend to erect a new exchange building the equipment now stored here would have been shipped elsewhere Ions ago. Manager Hutton of the local branch of the company, states that he has no information concerning the intentions of the company in regards to a new exchange building, but he thinks that one will be built. Mr. Hutton states that when the equipment for such a building was shipped here the company fully intended to build, but this was not done because of the action of the city at that time in refusing to grant the company satisfactory underground privileges. 1 The work of constructing the Main street conduit system of the company will start Monday morninig. It is probable that the work will begin at the corner of Second and Main street. This line will extend east from that point to Twenty-first street. The company will employ local men as laborers to construct the conduit system. DONALD SMITH MAI TAKE THE LEAP Considering Running For Congress. Donald Smith, a popular young attorney of Rushville has announced he is considering the proposition of entering the race- for the Democratic nomination to Congress. Smith is not unaware that the Rev. Mr. Kuhn of this city is looking to Washington at all times and that as soon as he recovers from the bruises of his gubernatorial contest he wiil probably be very active. Smith is wise enough to look twice before taking the leap. PALM SUNDAY TO BE OBSERVED Appropriate Services Have Been Arranged.
