MARION HIGH SCHOOL WILL. BE MET AT THE PLAY GROUNDS AND THE SPORT INTRODUCED TO RICHMOND PUBLIC.

The first game of Rugby football ever seen In this city, which gama promises to be very popular, especially among the high schools of the state, will be played tomorrow afternoon, when Marion high school team meets the local high school team at the play grounds, South Twenty-second street. Inasmuch as the faculties of the high schools at Muncle, Anderson and Marion and other places, have refused to permit American foot ball being played by teams representing these schools, because of its dangers, the local school will have to substitute Rugby as have the above mentioned schools. R. H. S. will not play American foot ball with Ohio teams, owing to the lax rules which govern the teams In that Btate. Hamilton the Coach. Prof. George Hamilton, graduate of Oxford University, England, and at present a member of the local high school faculty, is a Rugby enthusiast, and says that once the game is given a chance it will be every bit as popular as foot ball. Tlie Marion team has been in the field for a short time and last Saturday defeated the Hartford City high school team In the first game ever played in this state, by the score of 6 to O. The came differs from American foot ball In but a few respects, but these make the game an open style of play, which is more interesting than American football. Prof. Hamilton has been coaching the local team in Rugby and it is believed that he has placed the team through such perfect training that there will be no question as to Saturday's game. The locals are especially anxious to defeat Marion because this school is an old rival. SHAVELEYIS HURT Sustains Scalp Wound and . Broken Kneecap While Alighting From Car. IS REMOVED TO HIS HOME John S. Snaveley, a well known citizen, in alighting from a city street Car at West Third and Main street yesterday morning about 9:30 o'clock, fell and broke his knee cap. and also sustained a slight scalp wound. A physician was called and the wound dressed at his home, Kinsey and West Third streets. It is probable that the leg will be stiff as a result of the accident. Mr. Snaveley had signaled for the car to stop at West Third and Main, at which place the West Richmond cars 'leave Main street and go south on West Third. It seems that the motonnan did not -stop as usual, but continued around the curve, expecting to stop when he had rounded the curve, so it is understood. ' As the car was moving at a slow rate of sp'eed Mr. Snaveley started to alight but lost his balance and fell to the ground, striking his knee on the cement cross walk, causing the inJury.

BASEBALL FIGHT Struggle Over National League Presidency Will Close December 14. HEYDLER LOOKS A WINNER HE IS BACKED BY HERRMANN AND DREYFUSS AND BAN JOHNSON IS USING THE AMERICAN LEAGUE TO SUPPORT HIM. (American News Service) New York, Dec. 3. The big base ball men are going to be on the ground early for the struggle over the National league presidency. Though the election is slated for December 14, it was learned today that Garry Herrmann, chairman of the National commission and owner of the Cincinnati Reds will be here next Wednesday and at the same time Barney Dreyfuss owner of the Pittsburg Pirates will arrive. By the time the election comes off, it is believed their plans for the re-election of John Heydler as National president will be working like a machine. Stanley Robison, owner of the Cardinals, will probably be here in a week. Murphy is Active. Charles W. Murphy of Chicago won't be behind the leaders very far, either. He is ready to make a strong fight for John M. Ward, as Heydler's successor. MUrphy, his opponents say, aims to be Czar of the National league. He may find a break with Ward awaiting him. however, as the latter doesn't like Murphy's action in taking Joe O'Brien to Cincinnati. Ward thinks O'Brien may be his rival in the election fight. George Davis, short stop of the White Sox, came out strong today. in defense of Ward. "Ban Johnson wrongs Ward when he says that the latter tried to pull anything on the American League," said Davis. "Ward acted for me strictly in a legal capacity and I hired him in my case because he was formerly ray old manager on the Giants and had since become a lawyer." The services which Johnson has commented on were the drawing up of a contract between Davis and the New York Nationals when Davis was playing under Comiskey in Chicago. WANTS BE CORONER Dr. Mora S. Bulla, Well Known Young Physician, Announces Candidacy. FIRST ONE IN THE FIELD Dr. Mora S.

SEASOII IS STARTED Two Basketball Games Last Night Marked Opening At the College. DOPE BUCKET WAS UPSET The first inter-class basket ball games were played at Earlham College yesterday afternoon, and the Seniors and Sophomores were victorious over the Freshmen and Juniors. This opens the season at the Quaker college and from now on the Quaker coach will be on the lookout for material for this season's varsity. The games last evening were fast, and every member of the four squads showed good form. The games scheduled for this evening will be between the Sophomores and Seniors and the Freshmen and Juniors. Last evening the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a score of 19 to 0, and the Sophomores trimmed the Juniors.. 18 to 14. This turned the "dope" on basket ball at the college, about. The Juniors and Freshmen teams were looked upon as the strongest, but after their defeat last evening the Seniors and Sophomores stock soared high. In the practice last evening, Homer Furnas, who was playing a fast game at guard for the Sophomores, was injured and forced to retire from the game. Furnas was not seriously hurt and will probably be back in the game this evening. STUCK FAST III Transport Prairie With Seven Hundred Marines Aboard Is Very Balky.

Reported That Germany and Japan May Give Support To Nicaragua. CANAL RIGHTS THE CAUSE IT IS REPORTED THAT ONE OF THESE TWO NATIONS HAD BEEN NEGOTIATING WITH 2ELAYA RECENTLY. (American News Service) London, Dec. 3. Diplomats naturally charry of speaking their minds on national subjects, are interested today in a rumor that either Japan, or Germany, or both, of those nations will back President Zelaya of Nicaragua, in defying the United States. One of the bases of this report, it was stated, is information that either Germany or Japan has been negotiating with Zelaya for canal rights to tha old trans-Continental route at one time considered by the United States. It is understood that Germany for some time past has wanted to entrench herself in Central America while every one knows Japan would like to gain x stronghold on the Pacific side of Nicaragua. Diplomats say th only other article to the propositions of Germany and Japan are existing treaties among the three nations concerned. This obstacle could be nullified by permitting Nicaragua ostensibly to dig the canal with capital furnished by foreign interests. NEW MAIN ORDERED On North Fourth Street and Fire Hydrant Is Provided For.
