ONLY 3 MAKE 500 HARK IN STATELEAGUE Morrisey, Hampton and Berning Lead League in Heavy Hitting, According to Official Returns. Morrisey, Perkins-Campbells; Hampton, Richmond; Berning, PerkinsCampbells are the champ swatsmiths in the Indiana State League, according to averages are computed for the first two games dating up to the games of June 20. These players have stepped up to the plate eight times and on four of them they were successful in lining out safe hits giving them a batting average of 500. "Pat" Cushing is the only other local player to have his name in the charm ed circle, clouting for a 333 average. Cambridge City boasts of having the most 300 hitters on their team with 3 men on the honor roll. Besides having two men in the 300 class, the Richmond club leads the entire bunch in team average batting, leading their nearest opponents, the Connersville outfit, by 14 points. With this average, the club has so far failed to annex a victory. The main trouble seems to be that the opposing club always manages to get their bingles at the right time. while the local players seem to be able to stand up and give the ball a good lacing when no one is on. Get them to hit when hits mean runs and then victory will begin to come out way. Rushville foots the team batting average with the small figures of 102 with New Castle topping them. One man who is down In the per cent col umn is LotBhaw of New Castle. This player was expected to be right at the top of the ladder all the way, but ap pears to have been saving his hits when they were most needed. He has accomplished his trick very well, even if he has whipped out but two safeties. Popkins is the leader in long distance smashes with 2 three base clouts to bis credit rnd which also represent his total number of hits. VIGRANS PREPARING FOR OHIO VISITORS HERE NEXT SUNDAY Inside baseball will be the rule among the ranks of the Vigrans S. A. L. team' when they clash with the New Paris Grays Sunday afternoon at Athletic park. Yesterday afternoon, Manager Sam took his players out to the Athletic park and put them through a thorough practice in fielding, bunting, hitting and baserunning and also gave his battery men a thorough overlooking. In their former game with the Grays the Vigrans did not show up any too well with the stick, but Sam has it doped out that on the home field his boys will give Juday, the Gray heaver, a merry tryout before the proceedings are called off for the day. Vigrans Anxious. The Vigrans have been aching for another chance at the Grays and if love for them has anything to do with the outcome of the game, the Richmond team should be returned easy winners. Reports from New Paris that Juday, the crack twirler, will work the game is not causing any worry to the locals, as they figure his fast straight ball will be Just to their liking. Tickets Tor the game are being disposed of rapidly and with the aid of the New Paris supporters the S. A. L. is expec ting to realize a tidy sum for future use. Game called at 2:30 o'clock.

S. A. L TEAMS MEET IN GAMES ONJATURDAY Ad-Hills and Natcos Have Chance to Go Into Tie for First Place by Winning. 8. A. L. Games Saturday Athletic Park. Ad-Hllls vs. Vigrans Playgrounds. Natco vs. A. S. M. Easthaven. D. A W. vs. Easthaven. Both Ad-Hill and the Natcos have a chance to go into a tie for first place tomorrow if they win their games. Ad-Hill will be stacked up against the leading Vigrans, a team that has lost but one game, and that one to the Ads earlier in the season. The Ads. carry around the belief that they whipped the leaders once and they can do it again. The same twirler that worked for the Vigrans in their first encounter will work, one Pete Minner by name. Brady will start it for the AdHills. If Natco can hang another one on the Seeders and the Ad-Hills win there will be a triple tie for first place. Uhlrich believes that it is about time his boys are winning another game however and does not figure how Pucket can guide his men into the first place tomorrow. Over at Easthaven the two cellar champs will hook up for another tussle. The D. & W.'s won their first and only game from Slack's outfit, while Slacks team beat the Ad-Hills last Saturday showing an entire reversal of form and now that they are started expect to keep on coming.

FRENCH LANDLORDS UNABLE TO COLLECT HENT ON PREMISES

PARIS, June 25. The Frenchman's pocketbook these days is an interesting study: - Even a very wealthy man here cannot have much pocket money, for the moratorium holds - good and prevents dividends. "-v. , " The dividends may be In the . bank all right, but the bank ' will refuse hi mall except a small percentage. Nor can any shares of stock or bonds be sold nor any sums "be raised upon them legally. , While,, many citizens are rejoicing because they cannot be sued, a very large number are terribly crippled for lack of the actual means of existence. Most of the older doctors and lawyers who are beyond the military age and all business men dealing in articles of luxury are suffering greatly. But perhaps one of the classes to be most pitied is the landlord, for so small a minority of French citizens are now paying any rent at all. For some mysterious reason French land lords always manage to get themselves particularly hated and at present they are entirely unable to collect their rent. Almost at the beginning of the war a law was passed enabling most citizens to go on living in their homes unmolested. The heads of families at the front were freed from all obliga tion at once, as were all those who could prove that by the : fact of the war their means of livlihood had come to an end. -. . The question of settling up with the landlords will, of course, be arranged by the government after the war, and it is probable that the government it self will make good the landlords' losses during this period. But the question will be a difficult one. Most tenr.nts owe now nearly four quarters' rent. WAGNER KNOCKS OUT 100TH HOME RUN Hans Wagner, the veteran shortstop and captain of the Pittsburg Pi rates, is now the proud possessor of a record never equaled by any other ball piayer. The famous Hans has batted out his one hundredth home run of his career. The one hundredth home was made in the second inning of a thirteen inning contest with Philadelphia at Pittsburg, June 21. It also brought his total number of hits up to 3,131. Sam Crawford of Detroit is next to Wagner in piling up homers, having ninety-five to his credit, while Nap Lajoie has seventy-eight, and the great Ty Cobb but fifty-four. T CENTERVILLE Miss Mabel White of Whitewater is spending several days as the guest of Miss Hazel Schell. The Star class of the Christian Sun day school will hold its annual picnic in the McConaba grove south of town Sunday. All members of the class are requested to be present.

K5 -"MX A tiny Chinese billiken, with an intrinsic value of not more than $1.00 has brought first place honors to every automobile daredevil who has carried it into a race. Ralph DePalma had the little billiken tucked away In his jeans when he went to the post in the recent Indianapolis speedway race and De Palma carried away first place honors by establishing the amazing record of nearly 90 miles an hour for the 500 mile race. The possession of that talisman is the highest ambition of every racer in the country because its possession seems to assure success in every speedway battle. Miss Ethel Abbott, a Los Angeles girl, gave the billiken its start in the racing world. She was a great admirer of Billy Carlson, the speed demon and a few days before Carlson entered a race she sent it to him. "Keep the little billiken-man with you, Billy," sh eadvised. "I am sure it will bring you luck." Carlson, like nearly every other man who flirts with death, was superstitious and because he was. he tucked the little billiken in his pocket, entered the race and won with colors aflying. Some time later the billiken fell into the hands of Firestone Smith. Carlson probably gave it to him thinking that the billiken was limited to only one VILLA'S ARMY BROKEN UP BY GEN. OBREGON EL PASO, June 25.

victory.- On the day before Earl Cooper, Barney Oldfield, and others met in an auto battle in ' Phoenix. Arix Smith handed the billiken to Cooper. "Carlson carried this into a race and he said it won for him." said Smith. "Stick it in your pocket and give it a trial." Cooper won the next day and he gave the credit for the victory to the billiken. Cooper wanted to keep the billiken

he offered Smith a large sum of money for it but Smith Insisted upon the return of the little hunk of clay. "Can't be any monopoly on this," he said. "It's got to make the rounds.
