booting and Dram Corps Music by Richmond Students ' Converts Tourney Into ! Basketball Festival. CROWD IS RESPONSIVE Most Friendly Rivalry Marks Conduct of Teams and Rooters During Opening of Tournament It fs a regular basket ball festival. This la what eighteen hundred per1 6ons who packed the coliseum last night thought of the basket ball tournament, called to decide supremacy among high schools of the Sixth district. Games between Mooreland and Rushville, Earlham and Rose Poly, Connersville and New Castle Inspired the enthusiasm, which sent many persona home with sore throats and husky voices. Long before the games began. New Castle's loyal rooters filled three rows of seats on the north side of the floor, where they flaunted their pennants and colors in the faces of the Richmond students, who occupied the adjacent section. Drum Corps Appears. Am Mooreland and Rushville stood on the floor awaiting the referee's whistle with tense eagerness, a faint roar of snare drums with the booming bass was heard outside. Boys bearing a large Richmond banner then entered followed by the high school drum corps, uniformed In bright red coats with white numerals. In an Instant the entire crowd was on Us feet, hats and handkerchiefs mingled in the air. Loyalty to old R. H. S. was proclaimed by voices of pretty girls in their teens and by white-haired alumni. The buoyancy and the exhiliratlon of the coming conflict swept the crowd. Bob Phillips was on the floor calling for the high school yells. The measured accents of "Beat New CsleUp. Beat New Castle," were hurled from the throats of the organized rooters with the defiance of savages. The festival spirit prevailed everywhere The rivalry between teams and spectators, though intense, was friendly.

Look Out For Indians

Sport Writers Predict

When Doped High Old Cleveland Naps Finish Near Cellar-

When Apparently Down and Out Team Birmingham's Nines Always Upset Predictions and Finish Near Top.

By Frank Q. Menke, 8portlng

each year the naps smashed the figures by finishing a mile or two behind the parade. During the 1908 winter the Naps weren't figured to have much of a look-in and what happened? Those pesky Napa finished Just one-

half a game behind the pennant win ning Tigers a half game end no more after the" most thrilling pennant right In the history of the Aemrlcan league. Naps Finish Sixth. On their 1908 showing, the Napa were picked aa certain factors in the 1909 battel. They finished sixth. The Naps were untouted In 1913. No one figured that they had a chance. yet the Naps acted as runners-up to the Athletics from the start practically to the finish of the 1913 season. Had it not been for those five or six straight beatings doled out to the Naps by the Senators on the Naps' last swing east in 1913, there might have been a different story to tell about the 1913 baseball season. Because of their great work In 1913 the Naps were doped for one. two. three in the 1914 race. And the Naps flinished eighth so far down in the American league cellar that they nearly shoved out the foundation. The 1915 Naps newly nicknamed the Indians are an uncertain proposition. Manager Joe Birmingham has a team of youngsters. They may deliver and they may not. But no matter how poorly the 1915 team shows it 13 certain that it must be an Improvement over that that 1914 Cleveland outfit. Pitchers Couse Worry. The pitching staff is giving Blrmy the most worry. On paper, it looks good, but what will it do on the ball field is a question that won't find its answer until the test comes. Folks on the outside are amazed because Birmingham Is keeping Morton, a pitcher, whose 1914 record was one victory and thirteen defeats a percentage of .071 probably the worst ever turned in by a major league hurler over such a stretch, of combats. Yet those who have seen Morton work assert that he will develop into one of the best pitchers lu the game. "That boy Morton is a comer," say3 Eang, one of the best Judges of ball players in the country. "He has terrific 6peed, amazing curves and a good head." GENTERVILLE TAKES BOSTON GIRLS FIVE While all this basket ball is going on around Richmond, Centervillo has not been idle by any means. The famous Boston Girls tc?.m gave tho Centervillo lads a real rought fight Thursday before they said "Nuf." Oh Dear, how those girls did fight when they saw defeat staring tfiem in the face. In the second half they played the Centervllle quintet practically even. It is rumored that the latter team let up a. little in their play. Would you? Lineup and summary: Boston Glrla. Centervllle.

BERLIN, March 6 (By wireless) Returning from a aerial raid upon the coast towns of northern France a Zeppelin airship was, wrecked at Tirlemont last night. Unable to see his way clearly in the darkness, the pilot crashed into a clump of trees. The bag was torn in two places but the damages were repaired and the Zeppelin was taken to her home station. The ship was a sister of the L-8 wrecked on the North Sea. HELD ON SUSPICION. John Sanders has been arrested on suspicion. The police say they think Sanders knows something about chicken thefts in the north end.

Editor International News Service.

Ed Bang, who sport writes for the Cleveland News, advises all comers to "Watch the Indians in 1915" and darned if we don't agree with Ed that the oncetime Naps might bear watching. Among other things, Ed says: "It has been history that every time a Cleveland Club was touted highly it has fallen down and that it has made its best showings when least expected." Ed goes on to recite history. From 1904 on to 1908 the Sporting experts figured the Naps as possible pennant folks and

RACE TIGHTENS AS HAGERSTOWN STEPSJTO REAR Brookville, Doped as Dark Horse, Defeats Wayne County Team After Hardest Kind of Contest. Brookville, 20; Hagerstown, 16. Before noon Brookville had shown the best form of any team In the tourney showing unusual skill In the art of dribbling and sure goal shooting. Hagerstown played the best game they have shown this season but could not locate the basket. The game was rough and fast with Brookville getting a little the best of It from the official in charge who missed fouls when Brookville players made flying tackles. Brookville showed up with about as husky a bunch as has ever appeared on a local floor but the beef did not seem to slow them up any. Misses Many Shot. Hagerstown had more shots at the goal but could not connect and therein lies the cause for the elimination from the tournament. Btahr and Bookout played great games the latter being especially strong on the defense. Werking who is usually strong on basket shooting was decidedly off form missing three from directly under the basket when there was not an opposing player within three yards of him. Bozzart who went In for Shirk shortly after the first half had started proved a wlzzard playing the best game by far that any single player on any of the teams has shown. English at center was also good while Priest if given an opportunity to toss goals would have filled the basket. He was a closely guarded man, however, and did not get much opportunity to show his war en after the first few minutes of play. The crowd was on Its feet throughout the game rooting with a vim for first one team and then the other. No partiality was shown as the efforts of both teams were appreciated, Brookville Scores First. Brookville was the first to score, Priest dropping one In from the center of the floor on a beautiful shot which came after his team mates had passed around the floor twice without getting a shot. HagerBtown then began to play and for the remainder of the half It was hard to pick a winner. Brookville closed the half leading by 2 points running the total up to 12 while Hagerstown had accumulated 10. Brookville made 8 points the second half mainly through the work of Bozzart, ho shot 4 fouls and was Indirectly responsible for the two fields which English rang up, Hagerstown rolled up 6 points Stahr getting 5 and Werking 1, Hagerstown, Gls.

Storting the last half with a two point lead, the locals pulled away from their fast opponents by brilliant passing and basket shooting. Porter, the little Napoleon, won the game for his men by shooting difficult baskets from the center of the

floor. Playing their best at the close of the first half, the Richmond high SChOOl bow forded two nolnta ahttari of Rushville, the half ending with the core i r to l o.

RESULT PERMITS NEW CASTLE TO APPROACH FINAL Henry County Team Wins After Receiving Scare at Hands of Connersville Gordon Stars. New Castle, 33; Connersville, 11. Donesters held their hnuth rinrlnff the. first half of the New Castle-Con-nersvllle game last night, as they saw their beloved dope bucket,, being tilted to most dangerous angles by the Payette county team, which finally fell before New Castle, claimants of the district title, by a large score. Connersville Bhowed unexpected strength, all through, the first half, which ended with New Castle holding a 9-6 lead only after the advantage had vacillated between the two teams. They passed the ball all around the New Castle boys, who seemed nettled by the thunderous rooting of hostile spectators. Having fallen before New Castle twice during the season, Richmond supporters threw their assistance to the Connersville team. But inability to hit the baskets' prevented Connersville from walking away from their opponents. Failure of the players to cover the New Castle forwards presaged trouble for them later in the game. New Castle Hits Stride. After a rest New Castle came back Oh, how she did come back. Gordon got busy and looped five field goals. Kampe, his teammate, also broke loose for several pretty shots. The free throws by Kampe went true seven out of twelve times. With the game safely tucked away, Lawson and Chrisman retired in favor of G. Ross and W. Kampe. New Castle's playing was the best of the four teams which appeared in the opening rounds. The men showed a knowledge of the game, were well trained and displayed good judgment in their passing and shooting. The boys relied on short quick passes to carry the ball within striking distance, while Connersville risked long shots from all parts of the floor. Ainsley's long throws caused spectators to catch their breath more than once as the ball sailed through the air toward the basket, Line-up and summary! Connersville, G, FG, FM, F.

FIRST DEFEAT FALLS TO LOT OF MOORELAND Rushville Takes Spurt After First Few Moments and Outclasses Opponents Stoops Plays Star Game. Rushville, 37; Mooreland, 15. Mooreland was the first team to fall by the wayside last night, but it was not without making a gallant fight, which during the first five minutes of play threatened to upset the dope and send Rushville to the sidelines for the rest of the tourney. - Playing on a , strange floor with frantic fans screeching at them from the bleachers, both teams showed signs of nervousness at the start. Rushvllle's machine refused to work, Mooreland experienced little difficulty In breaking up the plays and then carrying the ball into dangerous territory only to miss the basket. Had Mooreland been able to convert all shots during the early part of the game into points, the result might have been different. Inability to hit the cage was the greatest factor in Mooreland's defeat. White Plays Good Game. White, Mooreland's forward, was the only scoring cog on the team, he made four field goals and six foul goals. His free throws during the first period were faultless. With little assistance from his teammates he put up a titanic struggle to ward off defeat, but he was not equal to Stoops, Titsworth and Bercheisen, who formed the flying squadron for Rushville in the last half. Stoops, touted as one of the best forward's In the district, didn't need an announcer to proclaim his reputation, he showed the crowd by shooting five field and nine foul goals. During the second half Rushvllle's offense pulled together, advancing the ball down the floor by swift accurate passing. Few wlu shots were made. They did not neel to take chances. Stoops was always waiting under the goal for a shot, after his teammates had carried the ball down the floor. Lineup and summary: Rushville. G, F.G. FGM.

Unless Coach Beeler of the New Castle team ceases coaching and signaling his players from the sidelines, he will be ruled from the floor and his status with the school investigated. Already Principal Plckell, who has charge of the district basketball tournament, has expressed his intention of asking the state association for a ruling on Beeler's case. Beeler admitted last night to Principal Plckell and Coach Nohr that he was not a member of the New Castle high school faculty, but that he had been coaching the team. He denied, however, that he had received pay, either directly or indirectly for his services. Rules of the association are that the coach must be a member of the faculty of the school whose team he ia coaching. It Is Improbable that any attempt will be made to have New Castle barred from further competition in the state tournament on this account. Brookville also has had a coach from Cincinnati who drilled the team twice a week. Like Beeler, he asserts, however, that he received no money or carfare. SEEDERS LOSE GAME IN SHORT OVERTIME M uncle, 7; A. S. M., 6. The Seeders accepted a 7 to 6 overtime defeat at Muncie last night. Fletcher caged the winning marker after 25 seconds had elapsed. The Seeders at the start of the game and in fact for the first two periods, had Muncie backed off, closing the first period with 4 to 1 count In their favor. Muncie, however, could not stand the Imploring of Its followers and began working with more speed, with the reBult that they were one shy of evening the count in the second period and would have done 6o but for an in-and-out.

EARLHAM PUTS ROSE TO SLEEP BENEATH SCORE Logan and Morrish Prove , Baffling: Combination Both Playing Best Games of the Year Quigg Makes Good. Earlham, 27; Rose Poly, 10. Before Rose Poly got under way last night. Coach Whiteside's Quakers had piled up a lead which made victory certain. Rose was powerless before the concentrated attack of Logan. Meeks and Winslow, who scored eighteen points In the first half, while Ros-e counted one field goal. Near the end of the period Earlham was going In unbeatable style, goal following goal immediately after the tos--up. Rose was completely baffled. In the second half the team from Terre Haute went back in the game v.irh more pep. holding the Quakers to nine points while they were scoring eight. For the first few minutes of the half it looked as if Rose would come back hard enough to overtake the lead. Logan Gets Better. Logan was better than usual last night, after the first few minutes, during which he missed several easy chances! In addition to playing forward, Logan had to serve as a pack horse, carrying Trumble around the floor on his back. Evidently under instructions to watch the Quaker star, Trumble trotted along beside Logan all the time, occasionally climbing on his back for a little Joy ride. Trumble was taken from the game on account of personal fouls. Morrish layed his best game of the year until forced to retire because of a wrenched knee. The big boy was "right." Rose's forwards could not get by him. He was everywhere, breaking up plays like an omnipresent evil genus. He put up the cleanest, closest guarding game shown by any guard on the Coliseum floor this year. Quigg, who went In at forward when Winslow was shifted to center, mado two field goals, whlchrought him the plaudits of the Richmond delegation, which was anxious to see the former high school star make good. He did make good. J Line-up and summary! Earlham. G. 5 2 0 2 1 2
