FIVE MEN TRY FOR BOX JOBS ON 1915 SQUAD Increased Interest : Among
r Students and Players - at ',. Earlham Means Better
Team Says Coach With five men trying out for post
tions on the pitching staff. Coach Brubalter, of the Earlham baseball team, believes. that he will be able to work
up a combination that will be hard to
solve by any of the secondary college teams this year. Mora interest than
ever before has been shown in baseball at the college, due perhaps to the
fact that a special baseball coach will have charge of the team. "The interest being shown gives promise of a good team this year," said Brubaker today, "and in spite of the fact that the material is practically green, it looks good. Particular attention will be paid to sliding and to working up some tricks of the game. In these features the Earlham teams .have always been weak. There are a few. fellows from last year back on the list of aspirants this year but they all look alike to me. There is a chance for everyone. Every member
of the squad will have to work whether he ever played on the Earlham team before or not." Plays Butler First. The first game will be played with Butler on April 23, here at Earlham. This gives about five weeks for the team to get in shape. Regular practices are being held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Coach Brubaker said that work would be . started on getting the diamond into shape as soon as the weather permits. Among the men who look good to Brubaker are Wallace, last year's Pitcher, Little, also a member of last year's pitching staff, and Morrish, who has plenty of speed and will work in well with Wallace, who pitches a slow ball. Mendenhall and Ellis are also trying out for places on the pitching staff. Three men have shown up good as catching material. They are Williams, Dunbar and Bruner. None of these men have had much experience outside of high school baseball. Iceland Calvert looks pretty good for a position on first base; Fisher and Collins will probably fight it out for second. Logan, Meeks and Baldwin are also trying out for Infield positions. In the outfield, Brubaker has the following men to pick from, Fisher, Bowen, Parker, Hobbs, Lailly, D. Calvert and Templin. Hobbs and Bowen were members of last year's squad.
liUSELL TO RESIGN AS COLLEGE PASTOR Earlham Professor Will Take Action if Friends Build West Side Church. Prof. Elbert Russell has notified the trustees of Earlham college that if the plans to erect another Friend's church on West Seventh and Main streets, are carried through, he would resign as college preacher. The trustees will
meet at the end of this month to take
up the matter.
"There are not enough Friends in West Richmond to maintain another church in addition to the college church," said Prof. Russell, "and this is the reason that I have taken this action. If the new church is organized
it will require air the services of all the members of the Earlham faculty so that I feel that if I would continue as Earlham preacher it would divide the forces and prevent a harmonious action. Friends of the college would fel that thev ought to attend the col
lege church while the new church, if erected, would require the co-opera
tion of every Friend in West Richmond."
GULLY RESTS EASY
WITH WOUNDED LEG
Patrolman John Cully, who was badly wounded in the right leg Tuesday
night by Nathan Hilling, who barrt
caded himself in a barn after murder-
ine his wife, was slightly improved to
day. He slept a few hours last night. The bullet has not been located and no X rav photograph of the wound has
been taken. Testimony of relatives of
Hilline as to the motive for him tak
ing his wife's life substantiates the newspaper reports that he was jealous of her and became enraged when she
went down town with her sister Mon day night.
The belief that Hilling committed
the murder and then killed himself
while under the influence of liquor is
not borne out by the coroner's report,
He says the odor of liquor was not detected either by himself or the under
takers immediately after the suicide,

CIVIC SOCIETY MAY CORRECT LOT NUMBERS Charles Thomas Makes Suggestion to Members of West Richmond Improvement Body for Action. An effort to renew the agitation to
have houses correctly numbered is being made by postoffice clerks, carriers, special men, messengers anct others. Charles K. Thomas, representing the postoffice carriers, has submitted the following communication: "I wonder if the West Richmond Improvement association will accept a suggestion along the line of civic improvement? If the association will carry it out it will be an achievement worthy of a place in the archives of ; the city to be handed down to posterii ty and as great in magnitude and lasti ing good as the Panama canal. "Now the suggestion: Straighten out the house numbers in West Rich- ! mond. "For the enlightenment of some who ; do not understand the situation, 1 i will take the different streets and show how the houses are. numbered: "Chestnut street, 221, 225, 223, 227, 249, 253. 237, 239 Laurel street, 10, 70, 72, 28, 30, 32.
"Richmond avenue, 200. 200, 204,
210, 222, 218. 232, 240. 236, 238, 252,
Randolph street, 208, 226, 222, 224,
228. "College avenue, there are two number 219. "These numbers are taken from the houses in rotation, beginning and ending as shown. There is no reason why this mix-up of numbers should continue indefinitely."
Superintendent of Mails Handley suggested that the matter should be
taken up with all improvement asso . ciations and should be agitated again
J The correct numbers for all houses are to be had at the office of the city civil engineer. The postofice has no au
thority to compel residents to number
their homes correctly.
South Seventh street and a number
of other south streets ar in the same
condition, according to postoffice em
ployes.
ONE MAN CONDUCTS

Decree of Coeds Opens Style War Earlham Men Frown on Middie Blouses When Women Protest Against Comfortable Jerseys.
No longer will the boys of Earlham
be permitted to wear flannel shirts or jerseys when appearing at the dinner
table, according to an edict or tne student council. It was understood by the boys of the college that the ban had been placed on this cpmmon every-day wearing apparel following a polite hint from the co-ed. A mass meeting of protest was
called immediately and the following
resolution passed and forwarded to tha inhabitants of Earlham hall, the girls'
dormitory, "Resolved, That in as much as the girls have demanded us to lay
aside our flannel shirts and "jerseys
we acquiesce in their demand provid
ing thev aeree to discard their so-cau
ed middies and other wearing apparel
of similar nature.'" The resolution was passed unanimously and the girls were caught at their own game. Hereafter, neither flannel shirts, jerseys or "middies" will be seen at the dinner table at Earlham except on Saturdays when the ban is temporarily released.
MEREDITH PURCHASES MYSTERIOUS POWDER
The large quantity of dynamite found near the Beeler's Kill bridge on the Liberty pike,' south of the city, Thursday night, is still an unexplained mystery so far as the police are concerned. "No one. Las claimed the explosives and no one living in the neighborhood where the dynamite was found can explain its presence there. Linus P. Meredith, a dynamite salesman, called at police headquarters this morning and examined the dynamite. He sai nearly all of it was in first class condition and when he made an offer to purclra.se it the police enthusiastically accepted his proposal.

ACTORS PLAY POORLY A disappointed audience saw a mediocre production of "Help Wanted" at the Gennett theatre last night. Lead
ing parts were taken by two former members of the Sayles Stock company. There was no merit in the presentation. Many patrons believe that an inferior company had been placed on the road to portray a drama that played by good actors has attracted and deserved long runs in metropolitan cities.- The play in itself - is a strong one, but it requires good actors to interpret it, something that was woefully lacking last night.

FORTUNE PROTECTS VETERAN LINEMAN SHOCKED ON POLE
When it was variously reported yesterday that Aandy Phillips, veteran lineman, now over sixty years old, had either been electrocuted on top of a pole on the Middleboro pike, north of the city, or had been killed by a fall from the pole,, employes of public service corporations were incredulous.
"He hasn't been killed, and I'll bet
he isn't even badly hurt. He has a
charmed life." remarked one brawny
"trouble shooter."
He was right. Andy did get into
contact with a hot wire carrying 6,600
voltaee and he did fall off the pole,
but the "juice" only burned his hands slightly and when he fell Robert Ashe, his emnlover. caucht him. He will
be ready for work In a short time.
A few years ago while working on top of a pole in the rear of a Main street business house he got hold of a live wire with both hands and could not let loose of it. A man reached out of a third story window and severed
the wire with a blow from a hatchet. When the wire parted Andy saved
himself fro ma long drop by digging his spikes deeply into the pole.
