TEAM SLUMPS OUT TRIUMPHS IN SLOW GAME

While the Richmond high school team won from Rushville last night at the Coliseum 61-22 the showing the boys made was a disappointment to their followers and the question which was asked pointedly this morning was Are they overconfident or overtrained? It was quite clear to the most casual observer that the team did hot enter the fray with the old dash and spirit and Rushville made them look slow at the start. While they did liven up the game after five minutes of play their followers were disappointed with their work and they will have to display a little more pep. - Porter and Parker both made a poor showing at the start and Pitts was so far away from Stoops all the time that be had things , practically his own way.; ' Stoops Runs Away. Stoops made six. field goals four of them in the first period and at no time was he covered. Richmond could not be awakened to the seriousness of the game and despite the showing made by the score they did not play the game as they know how and should. Coach Nohr tried to inject some pepper into thent between halves. Brown was the only man on the team that was any way near form and the victory and size of the score are largely due to his efforts. The captain was strong on defensive work, played his man close and tossed 13 of the points made by the home team. Porter also got form before the game had advanced far and broke up the Rushville advance incidentally caging 16 points. Lineup and summary: RICHMOND.

SING SINGERS ATTEMPT FARCE ACT

BY SCOOP. In the roughest game of basketball ever played in Hades, or the Coliseum either, the Keystone Sing Sing convicts bowed to defeat at the hands of the Merry Widows last night. Score appended. Both teams are members of the high school senior drum corps, and the game was staged as a farce comedy between the mix-ups between the first and second teams and their opponents. The Widows were dressed in the latest 'fashions for basketball, but the Keystone wore everything from football gear to overalls. Between the halves one lady fainted. Dr. Hammer hurried to the scene, and with hammer, cold chisel, brace and FRANKIE MASON WINS F6RT WAYNE," Ind., Jan. 22.

RICHMOND WINS DULL CONTEST FROM MUNCIE

MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 22. Richmond won a slow and uninteresting game from ; Muncie here last night by the score of 7 to 5. The first period was one of the fastest of the season, but the players slowed up in the second and third periods, and were almost a farce. Williams for Muncie was forced beginning of the third period, and the beginning of the third period, andd the remainder of the game was played with four men on a side, Evans withdrawing for Richmond. The play was characterized by rough work on both sides. Following is the line-up, score and summary: Richmond. Pisltion' L. Quigley . First Rush. Muncie. . Williams . . Fahrner Edgington . .

PRISON LABOR Continued From Page One. heretofore has been given in a large part to unskilled and inefficient laborers. Last year a saving of $1,466.59 was effected by prison labor at the rate of 2 a day. The prisoners have worked a total of 1,567. days. More money was spent on the roads of Wayne county in 1915 than in any year in the history of the county. Repairs were made on more roads. The item -of expense for gravel alone amounted to $3,845.43. Almost twice as much gravel was placed on the roads this year than last. The average cost of road repair In Wayne county is $124 per mile. This is $7 more per mile than was spent last year but the road superintendent states in his report that the amount of work done on the roads and the fact that at $1,200 fill was constructed during the year, accounts for the excess cost. Compared with the cost of township road upkeep, it costs about the same amount of money to keep a county road in repair as it does a township road. There are 312 miles of county roads in the county. The following report shows how the money has been spent by the county road superintendent: Gravel 3,845.43 Lumber . ......... . . . . . ... ; 1.118.36

At 3:50 o'clock this morning observers at quarantine saw the vessel coming back up the narrows, flying signals of distress. She anchored-two hundred yards out in the stream and Immediately the signal lamps on her bridge began flashing out the calls for aid. The messages read: "Fire in No. 1 hold. Notify Norton, Lilly and Company, and also Norwegian consul. Give us assistance." The big fire boat Seth Low put out from South Brooklyn and sped down the bay. From the fire boats searchlights it could be seen that the crew of the Sygna was closing all batches and flooding the forward compartments of the vessel in which the fire was burning, with live steam in an effort to smother the flames. No smoke or fire could be seen. The Seth Low drew alongside the Sygna ready to pour thousands of gallons of water into her hold should the steam prove unable to master the fire. -Deputy Chief Worth of the ma rine division of the fire department was notified and hurried down the narrows in his fire auxiliary, the Velox, to take charge of the fire fight.

RUSSELL (Continued From Page One.) to go down to the Valley of Jehosaphat Surely this war has brought more to the grave than has any pre vious trouble; and It is far from ended. For years the nations, In harmony with Joel's prophecy, have been "beating their plowshares Into swords and their pruning-hooks into spears." in the sense that' they have been s. mding for military purposes money which should properly have been spent in agricultural implements and devel opments. This war and the following Anarchy of Armageddon will prove conclusive ly the need of Divine interposition in hunman affairs. As Jesus said, speaking of the present trouble and the resulting anarchy. "Unless those days 6bold be shortened, there should no flesh be saved." Then will come the great explosion the Armageddon of the Scriptures. This time of trouble will just precede Messiah's kingdom, Daniel 12:1.

"I think that thla .la a question council should postpone action- upon until a verdict' haa been rendered by the dt! sens at a referendum- election. I also believe the price established for the privately owned plant la too nigh." . City officials called attention to the fact today that there la no law under which the city could legally refer the plant purchase question to a referendum election.
