port MUNCIE TAKES BOTH CONTESTS CHRISTMAS DAY Monde and Richmond played two polo games on Christmas day, one at the Coliseum In the afternoon before a crowd of 1,000 people and the other at Muncle In the evening before a capacity house, estimated at 1,600. Muncle won both games, taking the afternoon contest 3-0 - and the evening's fray 5-2. - Both games were fast and every 'man on both teams played desperately but the game at the Coliseum was faster of the two. Muncle won on two accidentals and there Is some doubt whether Fahrner should be scored with a goal for it appeared to be an accident and it looked as though O'Metz booted the ball in the cage but the referee gave the visitors the benefit of the doubt and JPahrner got the credit. The game from every point of view was by far the best played on the local floor this season and was a spectacular contest from the start. Make great Stops. Both O'Metz and Pence put up a great game, making many sensational stops. Pence had 49 to his credit and O'Metz, 48. Both fives gave an exhibition of clever floorwork and it cannot be said that anyone starred for all the men put up a splendid game. At Muncle In the evening without wishing to make any excuses for the defeat it must be said that Muncle got all the breaks of the game and that at least three scores were made on flukes. Richmond played the better floor game and had Muncle bewildered at times with clever passwork but Pence played a great defensive game being credited with 47 stops while Richmond made but 33. Summary.

STIGALL CAMPS ON TRAIL OF TERRY NELSON "Lir Arthur Stigall, the dusky 135 pound champion, who is anxious to get a match with Terry Nelson of Philadelphia, conqueror of Ray Jeffries, and a host of other aspirants for pugilistic honors in this section of the woods, arrived in Richmond on Sunday and has started to camp on Nelson's trail. Stigall could go back to his home in Altoona, Pa., and own the town almost if he could get a win over Nelson, for that boy has a big reputation in the east and down that way the opinion is that there are few his weight who have a chance against him. Benson will probably arrange a match between these boys some time after the first of the year and it should prove to be a big attraction, for both have the wallop and stamina to stick matters out until the final punch is slipped over and both boys have plenty of courage. If they are brought together it will be a fight worth while going to see MEYERS BOWLS 299 Karl Meyers came within one pin of rolling a perfect bowling score on the City alleys on Christmas day, making 299, falling down on his last ball. He made 11 consecutive strikes, but on the last roll he scored but 9. This is the highest bowling Bcore made in Richmond for a long time, and it is a record that will stand as a mark for local men to attain. ROLL HIGH SCORE Meyer and Green, with 1.25S, won the bowling tournament for doubles held at the City alleys last week with H. Miller and Boyer second, with I. 232. Another tournament was started today and will close on New Year's night. WILL LIST ENTRIES. During the ensuing week, entries are expected to be made for the amateur photo exhibit and competition which will be. given at the Y. M. C. A. on New Year's Day. Three kinds of pictures will be entered, portraits, landscapes and vacation photos. The exhibit will be held under the supervision of Physical director Roach. I It has been estimated that the earth I an maintain a population of 6,000,000 I -a totaL-which will be reached about D. 2000 at the present rate of in-L.ease.

FLASHLIGHT NEEDED TO LOCATE BASKET HIDDEN BY RAFTER In a five minute overtime game at Fountain City, the Richmond Neversweats were defeated by the Fountain City team Friday night 26 to 22. The game was rough from Btart to finish. The locals were handicapped by the size of the floor and the fact 'that one of the goals was hidden under a rafter and the other had to be searched for with a flashlight. The first half end ed 13 to 4 for the reason that Rick-. mond's goal. was bidden in the darkness. Richmond pulled up to 22 to 22 at the end of the game but in the overtime, the Fountain City bunch made one field goal and two fouls.

Coach Nohr, Manager Towle and eight players of the Richmond high school basketball team left on the interurban at 7:40 o'clock this morning for Indianapolis. The squad on its arrival enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the German House where Nohr had arranged for a private table so that the boys could talk over their signals unmolested and devise hew formations, for they are anxious to win every game played on the trip. After breakfast this morning the team was taken to the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium for a little practice and as they have not practiced since last Wednesday all the fellows welcomed the opportunity to loosen up their muscles. When we got on the floor every boy looked in the pink of condition, for despite the holiday season every member of the team has kept to training rules. Start for Lebanon. At 2:40 o'clock this afternoon we leave the Capital city over the Big Four for Lebanon, where we play the first game tonight. We will arrive there at 3:50 o'clock and rest up, until time to take the floor. This is Lebanon's annual homecoming game and to say that the local team is anxious to win it would be putting it mildly, but our boys feel that they have the best five and if we should fail to win Lebanon will certainly know that they were playing the best game of their career. Lebanon has an exceptionally heavy team this year and they are fast despite their bulk, and if the red and white can cop the game it will indeed be a feather in their caps. Lafayette won from Lebanon this year after a desperate struggle, 26-14. Lafayette has scored 155 points against its opponents' 35 in four games, which gives a better idea of the strength of the Lebanon boys. They beat Montmorenci 31 to 7, and Montmorenci was runner-up to Thorntown in last year's finals. This ranks Lebanon pretty high in basketball circles. Richmond's squad averages 148 pounds to the man and average 5 feet 9 inches in height. The following table is interesting: Weight. Height. Brown, forward . . . 152 5 ft. 8 in. C.

GETS BIG MAN TO PLAY HALF ON POLO TEAM polo team will play against Richmond at the Coliseum and if the manage ment is successful in securing the services of a husky halfback ifor whom they are now angling the result of the last games played may be reversed. Evans is a good man but he is light for the position of halfback which Is strange to him, and he could not get in effective work on account of the hefty boys he was forced to play against With a heavy man in the position, it will give the local boys a better chance to withstand the' heavy rushes of the capital city boys and help to offset the bulk of "Doc" Harold, who played at his best here last week when he used his immense weight to advantage. Who the new man, will be, the management' refuses to announce until final arrangements are completed with him, but no expense will be spared to get the best there is on the market. If the team does not show improvement with the change contemplated, other changes will be made for the management appreciates the support the fans give the game and they intend to give them the best team it is possible to get together., TREAT POOR CHILDREN.

The Multiple Salesman The newspaper Is the multiple salesman. Its appeal Is universal. Its friendliness with all members of the family unequalled. It reaches all classes. It appeals to all retailers because it produces a direct demand among people who are possible customers his friends. The newspaper advertisement Is the message that goes every day to every buyer of every product, everywhere. It wins the interest of the prospective customer, and then it turns that Interest into an actual sale by pointing out the counter where the product desired is found. That is direct demand the straight line drawn between producer and consumer through the retailer's store.
