LOSING TEAMS HOPE TO AVOID MORE DEFEATS Naps May Finish EighthYale May Hold Harvard olo Team May Win Title Back. BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Jan. 1. The advent of the new year causes pretty nearly verybody to hop for the best to look forward to a luckier return in the wheel of Fate. Quite a flock of persons and organizations who are doing that just now can do bo with a lot of Confidence. Let's take the Cleveland Naps, for Instance. They are hopeful that they Hvon't finish any worse in 1915 than the ydid in 1914. They won't hope in Vain. The Naps finished eighth in 914. There will be but eight clubs in the 1916 American league race, soy, Vou see, the Naps can't finish any ower than eighth. Yale Cheers Up. Yale is instance number two. Yale Is confident that Harvard can't give her a worse football beating than it Aid in 1914. Most of the 70,000 folks who saw Harvard do it in 1914, are equally confident about that. The Jlarvaff1 follows rushed up and down the fit 0 until they had reached the limit of human endurance. The limit was 3j points. Therefore Harvard can't go beyond the human limit in 1915, and so there is every reason for .'ale to be confident. The American polo team is confident that it won't got a beating in J915. The reason is '.hat there won't toe any international match. The same thing goes concerning our Davis cup team, as many will remember, was beaten by a pair of Australian fellows lawst summah. If the Italian fellows got a chance in 1915 they migh repeat. Rut they won't get 6 chance. They are too busy shooting projectiles to think of volleying with tennis balls. Willie Ritchie Confident. Willie Hitchies is confindent that lie won't loao his title as champion lightweight of the world. Willie hasn't got the title to lose. Of course, during the year Willie may get a chance at Freddie Welsh and may win back the title. If he does Willie will take care not to lose it. again not for a few years, at least. It's worth too much in b. vaudeville engagement way. Ban Johnson is confident that ho won't lose his treasured possession his wind. Doctors have assured him that there's no chance of his becoming dumb at least not for a year or so. So Ban faces 1915 with much glee. He can talk much as he want's to. What if fcfv-foes"not have an audience at all times? Can't he talk to himBelf? Sure he can. And when he does talk won't he have a receptive audience? Garry Herrmann is happy. The war in Europe halted the champagne shipments to a certain extent, but. right here in America they are puting out Home mighty tasty brands of Champagne. Hooray for home industry!

Bernie Smith, secretary of the Peoria Three-I Baseball league club, who was in New York today, announced that the club had. made offers to "Germany" Schaefer, comedian, late of the Washington American League club, to manage the Peoria team next season. Schaefer, according to Smith, is expected to confer with the Peoria club owners in the near future. In the event, that the one time, American league jester does not come to terms with Peoria, the job probably will be offered to Mike Sniitb, the ex-Giant, who is reported to be ccuxtin a Federal league berth.

ATHLETICS AT "Y" DRAW BIG CROWD TO ANNOUNCE FROLIC

Pupils of Coach Roach Demonstrate Life-saving and Practical Features of Gym Exercises. A large crowd witnessed the athletic program at the open house of the Y. M. C. A. this afternoon. Mr. Roach's boys demonstrated that hia I instructions in the gymnasium have been well received and their efforts 1 in the field events and on the apparatus were liberally applauded. The j work of the little fellows of the junior ! classes was especially interesting. I A notable feature was the spirit of competition shown by the boys in all the events. This has been developed : by grading the boys on the point sys- ! tem, each boy being given credit for the points he scores in any regular j evetnt. I Roach Leads Work. Led by Mr. Roach, C. Parker and Id. Keelor gave an exhibition of life saving in the swimming pool, showing the methods of rescueing and handling a drowning person. The Juniors and Junior Preps and the Intermediates put on some amusing features in connection with their drills, that kept the crowd roaring with laughter. In a short talk, Secretary Ellis M. Learner explained the purpose of the open house and called the attention to the fact the Y. M. C. A. was here for the benefit of of the boys and young men of the city and it was up to them to take advantage of the opportunity. He again emphasized the fact that the -Y was not striving for money but for men. ARENA SCHEDULES NO BIG FIGHT TODAY Dillon and Young Ahearn Mix at Philadelphia in Only Fight. BY LEASED WIRE. CHICAGO, Jan. 1 For the first time in a number of years not .one big pugilistic battle is booked for the new year, past records proving that there are too many late sleepers on the first day of the incoming year to t bank on record houses. ! What looks like the best batttle will ; be staged over the six round route at Philadelphia between Jack Dillon and Young Ahearn. Dan McKetrick, i Ahearn's manager, has been cluttering ! up the mails for several months with j challenges on behalf of Ahearn, so he j will have a chance today to make good some of the things his manager has ! said about him. j The most interesting bout in the west will be Mike Snyder's second clash against Goats Doig at Peru, 111. Down state sports think Doig cannot ! be trimmed and look upon Snyders first victory over Goats as a fluke. RICHMOND JOURNEYS TO HAMILTON FLOOR The next thing on the program for the high school basket ball team will be the attempt tomorrow night to down the fast Hamilton team at that place. Richmond has always had its hands full when playing this team. To take the gamo tomorrow night would be the biggest boost to the rapidly increasing reputation. The local team is traveling at the present time at an unbeatable rate and local students see nothing to it but a win. "Allie's" Dope KARL ALLISON Ty Cobb- I'll never hit a butcher guy, so help me as my name is Ty. Walter Johnson My recent movements raised such Cain, I'm sure I'll never jump again. Heinie Zimmerman I hereby cease from fighting umps, it never got me aught but bumps. Ban Johnson I'll sell the Yanka again, that deal has got me half insane. John McGraw I'll never count a pennant won, until the bally race is run. Baseball Magnates (in chorus) We'll never kill the Feds no more, it makes them stronger than before. Holds Some Job. Larney L.iehtenstein, who manages Jimmy Clabby, evidently is trying to discourage competition. He says a successful manager of pugs must fill the following requirements. He must be a doctor, he must be a nurse, he must be a good press agent, he must have talking ability, he must be a fight encyclopedia, he must be a forecaster. NAMES PHYSICIANS. Drs. Hunt and S. E. Bond have been appointed township physicians for the coming year. Dr. Hunt has held the position for two years.

Clabby, Middleweight Champ, Got $6 for His First Battle

JIMMY CLABBY. Jimmy Clabby, middleweight champion of America, made his mark under his own name. The Indianian was Introduced in his youth to the squared circle by his father, who took him to the first mill he ever witnessed. When asked as to whether there were parental objections to his embarking in the game, Clabby answered: "What, my father kick at boxing! Why, he'd travel in his stocking feet over a hard shell road just to see two good, clever fellows mix!" Clabby's first bout was at Laporte, where he put on the gloves with some unknown in a six-round affair that was called a draw. "Right there was where I turned professional." explains the king of the middles. "They took up a ringside collection and I received $G for my services, the first money I ever earned." Now the champion boasts proudly that he has taken part in more 20round contests than any pugilist in the MAYOR ROBBINS URGES IN THE FATHER The following proclamation was issued today by Mayor W. J. Robbins, to encourage further co-operation in the father and son mvoement, which is being urged by the Y. M. C. A. To Fathers and Sons of Richmond: "At this, the beginning of a new year, I will follow the same plan as of last season and the one that is being used in the majority of our cities. I wish to appeal to you as parents, calling to your attention for careful consideration the Fathers and Sons Movement, which has appealed to the everlasting right to sons and fathers all over the country. "Father, have you become so envolved in your" business, social or daily routine of work to that extent where you no longer retain your son's companionship? I say to you as father that it is not enough to simply clothe school and feed your son, for he has an alienable right to his father as to M'NEEMER'S TALK ENDS CHURCH YEAR Former Pastor Addresses Baptists at Watch Night Service of Members. Every seat in the prayer meeting room of the FirBt Baptist church was filled last night at the opening of the watch night services at 7:30 o'clock. The first hour was spent in prayer and the offering of personal mottos for the new year. Following the reports of the Sunday school workers the Young People's Society had charge of a social hour. At 10:15 the ordinance of baptism was given a young man who recently joined the church, and after a short song service, Rev. W. O. Stovall unveiled the church motto for 1915, "The Cross of Christ," Gal. vi-14. The service closed with a sermon by Rev. R. N. McXeemer, a former pastor of the church. Some 200,000 gypsies wander about Hungary and are regarded as a dangerous community. So notorious are their thieving propensities that they are not allowed inside the towns, while the villages tolerate them for only two days. Cecelia V.

ring at the present time. Twenty-seven is Clabby's record. Clabby likes to box. Outside of his profession, Jimmy has a dozen hobbies, most of them of the open-air variety ttat keep him in good shape. He's a baseball bug of the virulent type and can shake hands and call by name CO per cent of the big leaguers, for he never misses a game when the opportunity affords. He's a tennis sharp and an allaround athlete. He's of a saving disposition. Several years ago Clabby opened up a cafe and restaurant in Hammond, a city of some 35,000 population, and his dad is installed as the boss. Also he has accumulated some bank stock that returns an investment of 12 per cent, and he's the owner of an apartment house. As the money comes in from his fistic ventures Clabby sends a fair proportion of it to Indiana, so that it will be awaiting the time when he is done with the game.

REAL JOY-GLOOMS TO PLAY "Y" FIVE

"Word -was received yesterday that the supposed Joy Glooms basket ball team which bad accepted Coach Roach's terms to play the local "Y" team here Saturday night was going under a fictitious name. Roach immediately got in touch with the original Joy Glooms management and made arrangements for his team to come here instead of the first bunch. The latter five is rated as the fastest team traveling out of Indianapolis next to the Em-Roes and a warm lively tussle will no doubt result when they clash with the undefeated "Y" five. A large crowd is expected to turn out for the game since the "Y" victory over Earlham and will root hard for the local team to keep on with their march towards the championship of Indiana. Roach will start Laning and Jones forwards, Roach, center, while Capt. Spot Schepman and Big Parker will devote their time to guarding the efforts of the visiting teams forwards. "Y" TO RESUME FACTORY MEETINGS Only two noon shop meetings were held this week by the religious work committee of the Y. M. C. A., all the shops but the American Seeding Machine and Swayne-Robinson being closed. The regular schedule will be resumed next week, when all of the shops will be running with the possible exception of the Reliance Foundry. WELSH-WHITE FIGHT !
