QUI6LEYS INTEND TO TURN DEFEAT AGAINST A. S. M. Team's Rapid Improvement Promises Hard Game For i Leaders The Smokes and ( Greeks to Clash.

More Interest Is being shown in tbe outcome of the games in the Richmond Polo league tomorrow night than at any time this season. Because of the Improved work shown by the Qulgleys the followers of that team are praying for a win over the seemingly Invincible Seeders. The attack of the Pharmacists has Improved so rapidly that they assure O'Metz of quite a few stops. The Seeders respect the improvement of the Qulgleys and will take no chances. This will be the first game of the evening. The Greeks and Smokes hook up in the last game. The strong defense of the Smokes assures a lively engagement., Oesting will be at his place In center with Able at bait Geyer with his showing of Monday night will probably start at first rush with Clark at second. The Greeks have all the re- , spect in the world for their opponents , and will play a. careful game. Bill 1 Fetxer,. at, center . Is getting better right along putting up a far better game than he showed the first of the season while Vic Is going better than ever so it will be seen that the rushers on both teams will have their hands full to get anywhere with regularity.

Had Only Few Weeks to Live Five f, A.fg sTist-il- - A - .-. W i rrW r I W I I W I Years Ago; Star Outfielder Now

There's not a fan in the country who, gazing on Howard Shanks now, would believe that only five years ago he was told that he could live no more than a few weeks and that he would die a victim of consumption. Shanks is now one of the star outfielders of the American league, a husky lad, with one of the best throwing arms in the game. Back in 1910 Shanks was outfielding with Liverpool in the old O. P., while Canton and Akron were fighting tooth and nail for the pennant. At the close of the season he took himself to a medical gent, who hammered his chest, listened to the working of his bellows and then shook his head sorrowfully. "My boy, you ain't got more than a couple of weeks to live. Prepare for the end." The examination of Shanks was made at the solicitation of the Pittsburg club, who though a lot of Shank's skill, but was skeptical about his gen

eral health. When the doctor s report was submitted, the Pirates, of course, gave up all thought of snaring Shanks. Shanks1 went over to the Pennsylvania town prepared to die. Early in the spring Bill Phillips, manager of the East Liverpool team, nearly collapsed when he got a letter froms Shanks asking when and where he should report for spring training, When Phillips recovered his equilibrium he wrote Shanks to report at once. Shanks did looking huskier and stronger than ever. "Either that doc didn't, know his

HOPE OF BEECHER GOES A GLIMMERING

BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. Willie Beecher's hope of becoming lightweight champion of the world went aglimmering today. The east side fighter proved a poor substitute for Charlie White in a ten round bout with Champion Fred Welsh last night. He shot his bolt in the first four rounds, but after that he was never in the running.

Jack Remington yesterday informed President Harry Pattl of the local base ball association that he had written to clubs in the Eastern section of the state calling a meeting in February to go over the baseball outlook for the coming season. . . . . ' Some of the cities on Jack's list are Kokorno, Peru, Muncie, Rushville, New Castle and Richmond. The proposition ofg forming a league is, probably a "dead letter", with these cities but games between the various .cities named would cause no end of interesting sport for tbe fans. Jack is also flirting with Lenniger, last year's third sacker for the local club, and would like to get his signature to a contract with his club. Just what this player will do is not known as he has offers from several leagues but has not signed with any of them.

JEFFRIES WORKS HARD

Johnny Rivers' reputation is making Jeffries work harder than he ever did before. The local boxer has been working out every afternoon at Casey Horn's place. Rivers id an Italian and can scarcely talk the English lan

guage but he is a most willing mixer wanting to fight as long as he has an arm. free. If Jeff can make a strong showing against him it will mean several good bouts in the future. Rivers fights in Dayton on Feb. 15.

BOGLE GETS RELEASE

Coach Bogle of DePauw was banded his release as coach of the football team yesterday because of his poor showing last fall when he had the best material the school had ever had. From the form shown by bis team against . the Earlham eleven in the game on Reid Feild it is hard to see where he did not have a team tbe equal, of any secondary college in the state. Bogle is a graduate of Michigan Law school and It is understood that he will take up his profession. His successor has not been named.

Corner Shots BY ALLIE.

Trades in the league have not materialized so Howard "Red" Marine will lineup with the Greeks tomorrow night and George Bayer with the Seeders. Muncie last night took the Marion five by the overwhelming score of 12 to 0. This is another conclusive proof that the local league Is furnishing the fastest sport in the state. Fry was the only player to get butchered Monday night, he getting a small cut over the left eye.
