The Indiana-Ohio base hall league vas born a month or .so ago in order to afford clean and enjoyable sport and recreation for the ba.seba.ll fans of Richmond, Huntington. Muneio and "an Wert. As was stated in the funeral notice yesterday, the Richmond team sickened and died of paralysis and general atrophica! ion of the treasury and the shock was so strong that the league passed peacefully away. It is a pity that the attendance at the games here could not have been larger and enabled the company that, financed the local team to Keep it in the field. For Richmond was benefitted by the games played here, not only in the dollars that were saved to people who would otherwise have spent them away from " homo, but also in the healthful recreation afforded in spending an afternoon in the pure air r.nd sunshine. Nothing other than lack of attendance can bo blamed for the local team's downfall, as the article of ball that was being put up was about the best that has been seen around Richmond in many years. For the rest of the season independent ball will be played and it is the hope of the baseball loving public of Richmond that enough interest will bo displayed to warrant plans being laid for a return o league baseball next year. YOUNG MEN TO FORE. Richmond's young men in joining to form a Young Men's Business club are but following the trend throughout the country that is causing young men to take more prominent positions In their respective communities in all the walks of life. In Torre Haute a young business nun's club was organized several years ago and has rendered yvomen service in contributing to the wonderful growth of that city. Seven years ago Torre Haute boasted of but S.r.,000 inhabitants. Today, thanks to the push and energy displayed by the various business organizations of that city not the least of which is the young business men's club the city has a population of soma 65,000 people. the young man of Richmond

through the instrumentality of their new organization, learn the principles of co-operation and of acting in harmony with those who have the best interests of the city and its advancement at heart, they will be able to do more to help the little old Quaker City during the next five years than has been done in all the past. In fact, those who believe that Richmond drags along too much, attribute this

failing to the lark of co-operation that j is in general displayed by many of our business men. UP TO THE CITY. The citizens of the west side, east side, north side, south side, the news- j i papers and E. M. .Sellers, chief of the j j Indiana Fire Insurance Rating Bureau, all agreo to the necessity of a If hose house located in West Richmond ! in order to afford better fire protec- ! tion, not. only to that section of 1 he i city, but also to the entire community. With such unanimity of opinion as this TO ARTISTS ANNUAL EXHIBIT (Continued From Page One.; her "Azaleas," which is really a remarkable study in design and execution. Honorable mention was awarded to "The First Tinge of Autumn" by Frank Girardin and "A Winter Afternoon" by w. A. Holly. These two canvasses are splendid specimens of the landscape school of art. The prize jury, composed of Ralph Ciarkson of Chicago, .Mrs. E. B. Hirge of Indianapolis, and J. E. Bundy of this city. Mr. C'larksou is connected with the Cljicairo Art Institute and prominent in the world of art. Acting as the chairman of the committee lie announced the awards and paid a high tribute to Richmond for the interest and activity the citizens of this city have always displayed in art. The local art. association, he said, had brought fame to Richmond. Where this city was not known by its commercial activities it was known by its annual art exhibition. The handicraft prize committee composed of Mrs. James Morrisson, Mrs. Elmer Eggemeyer and Miss Alice Locke, won popular approval In awarding this prize to Raymond White. Ilia ivory portrait of J. Bennett Gordon is an excellent likeness of that journalist and is executed with a master's touch. Mr. White's carvings in ivory have attracted general attention and he has a steady demand for his work. The .silver cream ladle designed by Miss Overbook of Cambridge City, receiving honorable mention, is also a beautiful piece of work. Owing to the illness of Mrs. Morrisson, chairman of the handicraft prize committee, Mrs. M. F. Johnston announced the awards. Histcry Reviewed. In an address given by Mrs. Johnston, who is president of the Association, she sketched the history of the local art movement and expressed her appreciation of the generous manner in which the people of this city support the annual exhibits of the association. Mrs. Johnston has always taken a leading part in the local art movement and the success with which this movement has met is, in a great measure, to her credit. Last, evening the High school orchestra rendered an excellent, program. JAMES DESERTING Do Not Look With Favor on The Trip Around the World. ARE MUCH DISPLEASED. Los Angeles, Cal., June 10. Xaval officers here estimate that 1,000 men have resorted from the tlantic and Pacific fleets during the stay in Southern California waters. So numerous have desertions become that recruiting stations have been opened on board vessels and an advertising campaign for blue jackets is being carried on. Two reasons for desertions are given. The sailors here were made much of. and everything to them was free. Also they do not look with favor on the long trip around the world. IN WESTERN WAYNE Carpenters Are Kept Busy This Year. Milton, Ind.. June 10. Milton Carpenters are very busy people. They say not so much building has been done in Western Wayne county in four years. The decrease in the price of building material is said to be the incentive for barn building and other farm improvements. Rogers one? said to Sheridan, the renowned wit, "Your admiration of Mrs. SIddons is so high thst I wonder you never made open love to her." "To her?" said Sheridan. "To that magnificent and appalling creature? I Fhould as soon think of making love to the archbishop of Canterbury."

Williams vs. Charles N. Williams for divorce. Sheriff Meredith was dis patched to Muneio with a warrant fori the arrest of Williams on the chare - of wife desertion. Mrs. William. was granted the divorce upon t:i complaint of desertion and failure to provide. Williams was said to be tending bar at a roadhoue in Muncie. The sheriff left on the morning train for Delaware county's metropolis. Williams is well krown in this city. He was 'me of the best known and most popular mercantile clerks in the city.

She named the list of places at which he had worked but had been unable to remain because of his proclivities to be a "good fellow." Of her own heartaches, mental worry and distress she did not tell. When informed by the prosecutor that she had been asked many unusual questions so as to provide evidence in trial against her husband on the charge of wife desertion and that efforts would be made to send him to the penitentiary, Mrs. Williams broke into tears and had to be assisted to a chair. Mrs. Williams' character Is irreproachable and her reputation tinquestionable. Belor marriage she was Miss Ada Thomas. A Courtroom Anecdote.
