Quigley Harrold .:. H ......... Griffith May G ........ Bannon The third game of the post season I polo schedule will be played tonight with the Em-Roes of Indianapolis going on the boards against that demon five of All Stars which Sox Quigley has assembled. More scientific polo is expected to result from tonight's game than In any previous one because both will put on about the same style of game. Two new men, Williams of Elwood who has been in the East this winter, end Griffith of Racine, also out of the Eastern league, will line up with Sox's team. The remainder of the lineup will be the same three as played last Tuesday night, Tommy Thompson, Sox and Bannon. The only change in the Em-Roes personnel will be Edgington, center of the 1VI uncle aggregation who will play that place with Teddy's team tonight. The Em-Roes have lost the only game played while the All Stars won theirs so it will be a fight tonight by one striving for a perfect percentage and the other to get on even terms. SEEDERS ALLOW FENCE WORKERS ONLY JJCORES Bailey Keeps Opponents Down to Three Hits Cracraft Bingles Five Out of Six Times Up. The A. S. M. aggregation, emulating the example of the Pan Handles, picked on the Fence Factory team with such telling effect that they took the game, making 33 while the best the Fencers could do was 3. Real fighting spirit was shown by the Fencers' catcher, as be put pep into the team from the go with his coaching. Bailey had things all his own way, never once being in trouble, and held his oppo nents to two hits and three runs. A regular merry-go-round was pulled off by the Seeders in the second and fourth innings, when they garnered twelve and eleven runs, respectively. Cracraft was the chief bingler, making five hits out of six times up. He tied Black and Taggart for the run-getting championship, with five to his credit. For the Fencers, Muckrldge had the best batting percentage, getting one safe one out of one time at bat. The Fence Factory team, despite the one-sided score, showed improvement over their first game, and with a little more practice will furnish a much better game. Score: Seeders.

Jack Johnson is fat not hogfat as has been alleged, but of ample girth, to say the least. The accompanying photograph was taken just two weeks before the date settled for the negro's appearance in the ring against Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship of the world. Judging by his size, Johnson should enter the ring against Willard in about the same physical shape he was in when he fought Frank Moran in Paris last summer. It was reported then he weighed about 235 pounds. Johnson weighed 204 when he fought Jim Jeffries at Reno, Nev., July 4, 1910, and 196 when he fought Tommy Burns in Rushcutters Bay, Australia, in 1908. Is he good enough yet to stop Willard the big ungainly white hope, who will weigh about 2207

EARLHAM TO MEET TEAMS OF S. A. L. Offers of games for the S. A. L. teams have been tendered to the President of the league by the Earlham baseball team. Cy Wallace, captain of the Quakers, has offered the use of the Earlham diamond the first Sunday after March to any team in the league wishing a practice game with his team. The Ad-Hill and Panhandle are already after this game. Any one of the six teams desiring practice affairs with the Earlham team can get in touch by notifying by phone or letter Ray Brubaker, coach, or George Brehm, president of the league. DILLON CHALLENGES WINNER OF FIGHT INDIANAPOLIS, March 29. Jack Dillon has decided to go after the heavyweight pugilistic championship of the world.

BOOKS PRELIM GAMES

Rushville has announced the following schedule before the Indiana State league season opens: April 25 Perkins-Campbell. May 2 Dayton Shilohs. May 9 Cambridge City. May 16 Hamilton Hoovens. May 23 Cincinnati Muldoons. The clubs booked should give the Rush county team some strenuous work and should provide good dope for the sport writers. NINE WANTS NAME Fans at Rushville are conjuring their brains to think of appropriate names for the ball team. Among those which have been suggested are Rushers, Greenbacks, Sluggers and Ru-co-am-as. The bug which originated Greenbacks suggested that back of the. suits be made of green material. RUSH COUNTY NINE ASKS EARLY GAMES Rushville is casting envious glances at other members of the Indiana State League which have early training games with teams from the Southern Michigan League. Richmond, Conuersville and New Castle have such games on their schedule. Rushville was of fered a series with the Pittsburg Fed erals but was unable to accept beciuse the diamond Was not in condition. Berlin and- Vienna, have each a population exceeding 2,000,000.

Saturday's Results. Vigrans, 27; Natcos, 10. A. S. M., 33; Fence Factory, 3. Vigrans are now in undisputed possession of first place in the "Y" indoor league by virtue of their 27 to 10 victory over the Natcos Saturday night. This gives the Vigrans a perfect percentage. Again they showed why they are leading by attacking the slants of Lavenstein for 37 safe swats doing the most damage in the fourth inning when they bingled the horsehide for nine safe ones productive of eight runs. Helmick had the Natco batters completely under control al lowing but 10 hits. Both mound artists were unusually effective in the matter of steadiness but one free transportation to first being given by each. Helmick besides his great work in the Ditcher's ho was also the best hitter with five safe ones out of six times at bat. He scored five, the greatest number of runs. Five extra base swats were registered by tne vigrans while the Natcos contrib uted two to the box score. The first double play of the schedule was pulled off in the third innine when Auhln grabbed a hot one and pitched it over to uohorst for the third out of the inning. Score and summary: VIGRANS.

INDIANAPOLIS DOWNS Y. M. C. A. DpWLERS

All the the "Y" bowling team omembers about the games with the Indianapolis "Y" Saturday night is that they rolled the balls down the alleys. The Capital City aggregation took all three games and totaled 284 more pins that the locals. Reese, the captain of the Richmond team was unable to play, Miller substituting for him. The -visitors carried away all the honors, Daniels making high score, 242, in the third game, and Alford taking high total, 562. Scores: Indianapolis. W.

Seventeen promising men reported for practice. The team on paper looks every bit as good as it did last year when they had without a doubt the best team outside of the Richmond Club in this vicinity. There seems to be an awful squabble between the Grays management and Frank White as to which one has the services of Bill Niebohr, first one and then the other stating emphatically that the player mentioned will play with his team. It is understood that the Grays are also after the services ot Walter Evans another one of White's team to play the keystone sack. Other Richmond players on the Grays roster are Hampton, catcher, and Lucas, pitcher and infielder. Dope Fiend's Smoke Clouds A number of men have been added to the Natco working force, and HI Puckett is scouting for same baseball material for the team. Pucket intends to have his team in the running from the start. If be can dig up a couple of good ones from this increased working force, he will be all set. Ray Bran ton will be given plenty of opportunity by the Advan-Hill team to perform in the box this summer. Ray has an abundance of speed with a good hop to his fast ball, and plenty of the curve stuff. "All he needs is control,' says Ray Stevens, "and we will put him up against the best in tne city. He has a tendency to get a cou pie of men on bases before be can get started right, and this is a pretty shaky thing with a good batter up He is usually pretty effective when the bases are clogged, but what we want him to do is to settle down be fore this happens." Capable umpires are wanted by the managers, and George Brehm will see to it that the best men for the places will be secured. The Natco management has offered the S. A. L. the use of their grounds, which is very much appreciated by the league, but in view of the fact that three parks are available, and possibly another, the proposition will not be taken up.

Should Make Promoters Offer Cards at Reasonable Prices for AH. BY FRANK G. MEMKE It Is about time for the oriie fight fans to stop being boobs aad to stoo their present practise of submitting so ' tameiy to tne boid-up game that Is being carried on by the prize fight promoter, the prize fight manager and the prize flighter. The practise of gouging the public for from fl to $10 for the privilege of watching a couple of low brow, lazy youths perform for about 30 minutes so that those athletes may b assured of from $2,000 to $4,000 for about 30 minutes of so called "work" ts revolting to an extreme degree. And the practise should be abolished. If the fans rose up and refused to pay those prices, the fighters very soon would be willing to fight for whatever price they could get. And then the fight fans could dictate the terms. They could refuse ot pay more than 25 cents to $1 for the best seats at even an all-star bout. That would mean only from $200 to $500 for the stars. Quite a drop from $4,000 to $6.000 but those stars would be mighty glad to get even $200. Freddie Welsh, in his first year as lightweight champion of the -world will draw down over $100,000. Think of It. A salary larger than given to the president of the United States; an Income eight times larger than that of any of our cabinet officers and from five to 60 times greater than that earned by many doctors, lawyers and other professional men. Welsh will have fought or rather appeared In about 20 battles before June time that marks the first anniversary of his elevation to the lightweight throne. Those 20 battles each will be for about 30 minutes duration. That means that during the year the Briton will have "worked" exactly 12 M hours in the prize ring. And for that "work" he drawa down between $75.000 and $85,000. The other money that makes up his income for the year comes from theatrical and newspaper work. It is something of a blot on the intelligence of a civilized world that a prize fighter who couldn't earn $900 a year at any other job, can milk the public for from $50,000 to $100,000 a year simply because he can hit a little harder blow or run from danger faster than the next fellow. The prise fighting element, as a rule, is made up of a lot of youths who are too lazy and too shiftless to learn some regular trade or profession. That spells work for them and work is not what they want. They want soft and easy living without going to any real trouble to secure it. So they turn to prizefighting.
