Baseball Polo Bowling SECOND TEAM WHIPS LOCALS ATANDERSON With Exception of Brown Nohr's Men Take SlumpPlay Grows Worse With Each Game. Anderson, 32; Richmond, 20. What chance has Nohr's high school basket ball team of winning first place in the coining high school tournament? Using the entire second team the Anderson last night walloped Richmond to the tune of 32 to 20 on the Anderson floor last night causing much weeping and wailing in the Richmond camp. The idea of hold the first team to a 36 to 29 score a few weeks back and then being defeated by' the second team by a worse score leaves a bad taste in the mouths of the team's followers. True, Richmond was not accustomed to the floor they played on last night but even that is no excuse. Richmond will have to hurry if the boys expect to get a place in the elimination games. The team instead of improving in their play is getting worse every game. Brown Upholds Reputation. Brown for the locals was the only man on the team who lived ,up to his reputation last night. ' Alone and unaided he made sixteen of the team's points. Without Brownie the team would surely have been in "some fix" this season as none of his teammates have played the game that was expected of them. Olvey of the Anderson five and Jackson were the mainstays of their team scoring at will and with the utmost ease. Harris started the game in Porter's place playing the first half and giving away to his captain in the second. In the scoring line Harris had the better of the argument making a field goal while Porter was unable to connect. Porter's presence, however, was felt as the team played a faster and better game. , lENNY'S MEN SW4MI 1E4M IROM SO DTD Miller's Work for Connersville Prevents HooverBonds From Climbing to Century Scoring Line. Hcc vcr-C?rd. 5; Conncrsville, 12. Outclesring the Connersville five at every stage of the game. Penny's Hoover-Bond team had little trouble in runninK up a 46-to-12 score against the visitors on the "Y" gym floor last night before, a handful of enthusiastic rooters. As !n the game with Dennieon last week it was only a question of how large a score the local five could run up before time was called. Intercollegiate rules were played. The game was pretty strenuous in spots. Giving the visitors credit, they really made the H-B's extend themselves more than the Dennison five did, and although hopelessly beaten never gave up. Miller, the visiting team's captain and guard was easily the star. But for his work the score would undoubtedly have gone up around the hundred mark. Breaking up lay after play, it was a rare sight to see him lose the ball, and with any help at all his team would have scored leveral more points. John Hampton, with his "whoa, there," seemed t6 get the goat of Henry, the visiting forward, and who would deliberately turn around and hand the ball to Hampton. At that he played a hard game. Harrington' was the chief icorer of the fray, with nine field goals to his credit, with Wiechman following with six. Line-up and summary: Hoover-Bond. F. F.G. M. F.

Hans Wagner Is the One Great Star Who Never Commercialized Greatness

HANS WAGNER. "I ain't no writer and don't pretend to be. Reporters are paid for that kind of stuff, and it's not a ball player's job." Thus spoke Hans Wagner when approached by a syndicate that offered him a big sum to "write" a series of baseball articles. None of baseball's side lines has ever appealed to him. He has ignored dozens of attractive stage offers; advertising firms have vainly offered him big sums for the use of his autograph or picture. Despite his frugal nature, Honous never showed any money mad tendecies, and he will enter his forty-second year on February 24 about $100,000 short of what he would have stored away

SEEDERS BOW 1 0 CAMPBELLS Evans Unfortunately Deflects Ball in Own Cage on Two Occasions. Muncie, 5; Seeders, 4. The Campbell's of Muncie last night turned the tables on the Seeders for the beating administered to them by the Greeks Monday night by nosing Ulrich's team out in the final period of play, winning by the score of 5 to 4. A certain element of luck entered into

LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP: TINKER, SCHULTE AND EVERS; BOTTOM, CHANCE AND BROWN. Of that famous Cub machine of 1906, probably the greatest baseball machine that ever steam rolled itself into a championship, there is one lone player remaining Frank Schulte, the "homerun king." Today as you watch the Cubs you wonder., Eight years ago you wondered also but in a different way. Then you wondered how such a galaxy of scintillating stars ever were gathered on one team. Now you wonder where they have gone. Remember the line-up of .that world's championship machine? Slagle, center field; Tinker, shortstop; Chance, first base; Steinfeldt, third base; Schulte, right

the outcome of the game as Evan.- was unfortunate enough to . deflect tlie course of the ball on two separate occasions into his own goal. As is customary with the Muncie five they started out ptaying circles around their opponents the period ending with them leading 2 to 1. The second showed the advantage to lie with the Seeders as they tied the score. Beginning the third period Abel was substituted for Williams. Muncie sewed up the game jamming 3 past O'Metz while the Seeders were counting 2. The London salvage corps, maintained by the various insurance companies, consists of ex-navy men. field; Evers, second base; Kllng, catcher; Brown, pitcher; Hoffman, utility; Reulbach, pitcher. Kling the marvel, no longer plays ball. He conducts a billiard parlor in Kansas City. Brown, the three-fingered wonder, was with the St. Louis Feds last year as manager. He has been replaced by Fielder Jones. Ruelbach, who played an Indifferent game with the Brooklyn Dodgers last season, has been given his uncondition release. Chance, the peerless leader, sought vainly last year to guide the New York Yankees out of the last division. He failed, and now he also is out of big league ball for good. Evers, still a star of the first magnitude, is with the Boston Braves.

QU4KER FIVE BOWS BEFORE DALE'S TEAM

Stonebraker, Giant Center for Wabash, Throws Nine Field Goals Despite Desperate Efforts of Morrish. Wabash, B1; Earlham, 17. , Swamped by the fast teamwork of their opponents, the Earlham quintet, lost to Wabash Friday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A., Indianapolis, by the score of 61 to 17. , -tit was expected that Wabash would have little trouble in defeating the Quakers, from the comparative scores of the teams, although Coach Whiteside hoped that his team would be able at least to held its opponents to a closer score. . The Wabash team showed even greater strength than it did at the Coliseum three weeks ago, when the Quakers fell to a score of 34 to 18. Quakers Start Fast. Earlham started the game with a rush, scoring the first field goal in two minutes of play. Dale scored the first Wabash point on a free throw. Coffing then threw a field goal, giving the Little Giants the lead, which they maintained throughout the game. Stonebraker was the individual star of the game, and Morrish, the heavy Quaker center, j was unable to cover him. Early In the second half, the mam moth Wabash center broke away for five- successive field goals, thrown from all angles. Earlham was unable to get started until near the close of the half, when Qulgg made two field goals. Line-up and summary: Earlham. Wabash. Quigg Dale Forward. Winslpw . ..' Coffing Forward.

Centerville high school won the joint debate from the Connersville team last night, discussing the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved, That the Initiative, Referendum and Recall Should Be Adopted in Indiana." Under an act of King Charles II, English gamblers who lost more than $500 at at one time were not compelled to pay. Sheckard is out of big league baseball for all time. Tinker, still a big gun in the baseball world, is manager of the Chi-feds. Steinfeldt, who dropped from the top to the bottom so suddenly, is no longer playing ball. Slagle is out of it. Hoffman is now playing with the Brookfeds. . Schulte he (alne , remains of all that illustrious, fear inspiring and heart electrifying machine. He still Is playing ball, but not so long ago he was taken out to allow another to bat for him a silent message that the end is drawing near to the man who had made more home runs in the big leagues than any other and who was once adjudged the most valuable ball player in the National league.

Y. M. C. A Earlham R. H. S. SAYS BRAVES WILL REPEAT IN FLAG RACE Dick Rudolph Assures Team's Followers of Success in 1915 Season Regardless of Seven Other Nines. BY. FRANK Q. MENKE, Sporting Editor of the International News Service. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Dick Ru dolph, the author-pitcher of them there Boston Braves takes his pen- in hand to inform the gaping multitude that: "Of course, every one expects me to predict that the Braves will repeat as pennant winners in 1915 so I won't disappoint anybody. I'll say that the Braves will repeat, and I'll go farther by saying that the Braves will cap another world's championship In October." - , Gosh, we hope that Johnny Tener, boss of the National League, doesn't read the above. Tener is a humane sort of fellow and if he read what Dick had to say he'd award the pennant to the Braves right away and save the players on the seven other teams from spending the whole summer in fruitless endeavor. And then what would the National League fans do for diversion this summer? WATTY GIVES ADVICE. Chris Mathewson, another of our famed . author-pitchers, occasionally devotes his time to writing bits of advice for the magnates of organized baseball. Here is a sample from one of Christy's recent ventures in the literary field: "Organized baseball must watch one thing in particular in connection with the Federal league activity. All the ball players on the teams without good pennant chances will threaten to jump to the Federals in the hope that the league with which they are connected will consent to let them go to some stronger club, with pennant chances, in order to hold them in organized baseball. This would make the races in both circuits (American and National) lop sided." S'all right Chris, but why.didn't you finish the advising business when you started it? Why didn't you tell the magnuts and the readers of your column what should be done In such a case? What would you do, Chris if you were owner of the oncetime Naps and Joe Jackson, the outfielder came up to you and said: "I want to be traded to the Boston Red Sox or the Philadelphia Athletics. If you don't do it I'll jump to the Feds. What's your answer?" What would you say to him Chris? HERBIE LOG4N B4CR IN GAME Earlham Star Will Perform Against Butler and Poly Fives. Rose Two games to be played at the Coliseum next week, will end the Earlham basketball season. Wednesday evening, the Quakers meet Butler and Friday they will stack up against Rose Poly. According to dope, the Quakers have the edge on the Butler auintet as they defeated them at Indianapolis two weeks ago and since that time they have been defeated overwhelmingly by Franklin,. While Franklin has defeated Earlham, .the game was close. According to dope, Rose Poly and Earlham are evenly matched and the game ought to afford opportunity for some fast playing on the part of both teams. Rose Poly had little trouble with Butler Friday night indicating that the affair next Friday night ought to.be a liverly affair. Logan, the fast Earlham forward, will be back in the game next week and is expected to put life in the team. It is probable, however that he will not be used the entire game by Coach Whiteside and that Quigg, who has been playing in his position, will be used part of the time. R. 1. M..

DESCRIBES GROUND BOUGHT TO CREATE CLUB GOLF COURSE

J. Y. Poundstone, president of the Richmond Country club, announced today that the club officials had closed a contract with Otto Rettlg of this city, for the purchase of a sixty acre farm on the National road, east of the city, which will be the club's new location. ' The club's new property lsj3 miles east of Richmond, just east of the traction viaduct, fifty-nine acres being in Ohio and one acre in Indiana. Six thousand dollars was the price paid for the farm. The grounds the club has leased from the Earlham Cemetery association, west of the city, will be used until the club is ready to take possession of its new property. The property purchased by the club is generally known as the James Smelser farm and borders the National road on the south. "An $8,000 club house will be erect. ed as soon as possible after work of preparing the grounds for a golf course is started, Mr. Poundstone said. "Ten tative plans for the club bouse provide a large assembly room with an old fashioned fireplace, a large dining room and a kitchen. About the house will be a large veranda, which can be enclosed if necessary. This veranda and the assembly room can be used for dancing. There will be two or three rooms on the second floor for the club employes. The basement will consist of two rooms, one for lockers for men, the other for lockers for women. Each room will have a shower bath. We will have our own water works system and our own electric light plant. The course is naturally adapted for golf, there being plenty of fine blue grass and the turf can be put in fairly good condition without much expense." ' 4. S. M. FIVE .

Weyman was again in form rolling high score 244 in his second game and totaling high with 563. CALDWELL SAYS (Continued from page 1.) ofhis friends have been asking him why he had given up his job with the city. Then he writes: "In the first place, I can not stand to work under this administration any longer. There were several of them came to me and had me vote the Progressive ticket, saying we will see that you get a good job. You see what I got-"-hauliug trash." He continues: "And what did they do to Bill Austin, who worked for the city for about twelve years; they canned him and kept an Italian of foreign birth. Austin was born and raised around Richmond. Then there is Paddock, who Will Robbins saw and talked to while working at Robinson's shop before he was elected mayor, and said to Paddock, 'If you will help get me elected I will see that you get a steady job with the city.' Last summer he worked for the city at 40 cents per hour, then last fall they laid him off, then gave him a few days during the winter hauling snow, then laid him off and kept some extra teams, who couldn't work for the city last summer, because they were not paying as much as the contractors, but they were glad to "The Standard of "I Drive

F. A. BROWN DIES OF HEART TROUBLE

P. A. Brown, 2100 Main street, vat stricken with heart trouble at 1 o'clock this afternoon and died within a min ute. . Mr. Brown has lived in Richmond for twelve veara YT famn from Lincoln. Neb., and purchased the Bee wive grocery wnicn be ran for several years. He sold out and nnrrh n farm north of the city. He has been retired from all business for several years. . . Mr. Brown was a warm personal friend of William Jennings Bryan. While residing in Lincoln, he was a colleague of. the secretarv of state. who was at that time running a news paper ana tne -Commoner" in addition to his political activities. work this winter at 40 cents, when they could push out a man that needed it and had worked for the city all summer at 40 cents, while the other teams were getting 45 and 50 cents per hour from the contractors. "Then there is George Jenkins, who has been working for the city. They had promised him time and again they would give him a job. Well they gave him boss over the trash haulers who worked north of Main west side. For Pome reason they let him down and hired John Hidleroan at $60 a month, while they paid Jenkins $1.80 a day or 20 cents an hour. "I overheard a conversation between Doc Zimmerman and a man; the man was asking Doc if he got to be mayor next time if he would give him a Jot). Doc said, 'Boys, I don't promise anyone anything, but if I am elected I will keep you in mind.' Now that is the kind of a man we citizens of Richmond want for mayor, a man who will keep his word, let it be Zimmerman or anybody else, if they are on the Republican ticket. "Well, I guess I will bring my letter to a close, for I ain't much of a letter writer, for I never went to school but three days and the teacher wasn't there either day I went, but if I had been appointed superintendent of the city light plant I think I would have turned it down for another job at $1,200 per year.
