SPORTS AND ATHLETICS
RIGUD TEAri HOLDS OLD MEN FOR 16 BERTHS
"With the opening of the spring season but a matter of several -weeks in the offing members of the local baseball colony as "well as local diamond lights- are beginning to consider Just what is "on' deck" in the baseball world of Richmond. While no definite date for the openrepresentative city club or the semirepresentative city club or teh semipro or amateur leagues has been set it's a safe proporit!-n to stake money against tobacco tags that Richmond followers of the national game will be feasting on the pastime by the middle of next month. Season Opens In April. ' From present indications the Richmond semi-pro club will get under way with practise work the latter part of this or the first of next month. Openings of the two local leagues the S. A. L. or Industrial, possibly both, and the Commercial will be later. With the organization of the strictly local talent club in Richmond last fall baseball heretofore a losing proposition In Rlchmond--took a big bo,ost. And with the same plan being worked again this year Interest in the game is more pronounced than for many seiiEons. Under plans of the Richmond baseball club, Field Captain Everett Sullivun will be instructed to gather his recruits at Athletic park along the latter part of this month. The men are ready right now to don the spiked tlioeii nnd flannels. Old Faces Remain. While a bit early to make any definite forecasts as the probable lineup of 1 lie Quaker team for the season, it ia u safe bet that a number of thp boys who la to last fall starred on the local ieml-pro club will again be in harness this year. And pmotig this bunch of prospeclives an? such local men as Vint Cooney, Rue Hawekotte. Pete Minier, Rill Raney. Frank W. Williams. Billy Ni.ibuhr. Cluude Knight, Roy Schattel, Toad Kelly, Runt Stanley, Johnny Holmes, Alva Harter, Joe Bulla and
others. Captain Sullivan himself will be with the squad as a first string catcher. Hawekotte and Minier are pitchers well known to the Wayne county luigdom. Cooney, Schattel. Holmes and Buila are fielders. Practically every one of this squad of likelies played with the Quaker team at some time or other last season.
Blount Brings Cannon Fears Indian Uprising
4
AAA
Sticks Close to Room IRilly Blount, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, kid goal tend of the Fall River polo team, now playing a series of games in Richmond and M uncle, Itasn't run across one Indian since his arrival in the wild and woolly west, but if he does good-night Indian. When Barney Ooherty went after Billy to tend goal for the all-star team Ooherty was recruiting for his Indiana Invasion, the Pawtucket youngster, who had never been farther west than New York city, evidenced! considerable reluctance in accepting Barney's offer. "Hlow about those Indians out west?" cautiously remarked young Blount. ''Ofci, they ain't very bad now. They haven't had any trouble with Sitting Bull and his gang out in Indiana for about six months," replied Dohert. "Yes, that may be so; but It would be just my luck for Sitting Bull to start a survival of the fittest about the time we hit in Richmond," objected Blount. Thiwi with Irish eloquence Barney assured Billy that Uncle Sam's soldiers had been sent to both Richmond and Muncie, and that the Indians wouldn't dare start trouble. That argument won Billy, but, acting on the principle of safety first, he packed both of his six-shooters in his faithful suitcase and started forth to risk his life in the land of Buffalo
Bill. Yesterday while In Richmond, Billy ventured out of the hotel twice, each time in company with Barney Doherty, in whom he has implicit confidence, because Barney confided to him en route west that he had a stand-in with the Indians. When "Barney was not with him, young Blount locked himself in his room and oiled his trusty "gats." It's a cinch no Indian is going to catch Bill napping, and all cigar dealers are advised to keep their wooden Indians off the sidewalk for the time being, at least.
FRANKLIN SMARTS UNDER MEMORIES OF 24-17 DEFEAT
Franklin's claim to the runner-up honors in the basketball race of the I. C. A. L. will be decided tonight at the Coliseum when the Baptists and the Earlham . crew take the floor for what promises to be the class of collegiate battles in Richmond . this season. The Franklin-Earlham clash will be preceded by a curtain , raiser between Liberty high school and the Freshmen five of Earlham college. The husky crew of Franklinites invaded the city late this afternoon. The Baptists with their great amount of hulk and beef present a formidable appearance. And, still remembering that 24-to-7 surprise party at Franklin a few weeks back, the visitors hope for revenge tonight. Liberty's crew of leather tossers were scheduled to arrive late this afternoon. The Union county team,
through its persistent challenge to the R. H. S. squad, has worked up quite a rep in Richmond, and the local fans are anxious to see what the boys have in the way of class. The first game will be called about 7:45 o'clock.

HARVESTERS ANNEX SERIES WITH NATCO
ANKLE MAY KEEP BROWN ON BENCH AT TONIGHT'S GAME
Richmond high school basketball team a bit handicapped through the indisposition of Captain Brown, left
this noon for Rushville where the Red
and White battles the Rush county
high boys tonight. Captain Brown is
suffering with a slightly injured ankle
and might possibly be out of the game. The squad was in charge of Coach Nohr and Faculty Manager Charles Towle.

FACTORY LEAGUE ADMITS 6 TEAMS
That the Industrial, 6r Factory, league, the new organization to sup
plant the S. A. L. in 6emi-pro circles it the .city, is to be a permanent affair was evidenced last night when representatives of the six teams to comprise the circuit met at the Y. M. C. A. and adopted a constitution and by-laws. Election of officers and the completion of other business matters was postponed until the next meeting to be held at the "Y" Thursday night, March 9. The league as it now stands Is com
prised of six industrial concerns of the city, the Pennsy, Ad-Hill, Natco, A. S. M., Westcott Motor and Starr Piano. The constitution of the new organization adopted last night, makes specific demand that all teams of the circuit be individual concern teams; that is, clubs entered in the league makeup must be from factories or industrial plants.
When Richmond High School basketball team lines uo against Rush
ville at Rushville tonight, Johnny Meranda, star guard of the local five, will be on the side lines. Meranda is suffering with a severe cold and Coach Nohr does not care to take chances of having his guard on the hospital list during the tournament games. Meranda will make the trip and in case the Quakers get in hard straights may be injected. Tal Jessup will start the game in Johnny's place.
SET HANDICAP MATCH
Announcement of the Martin-Dickinson trophy handicap bowling match to start at the City alleys March 6, was made by Roy Miller, manager of the City alleys this morning. W. B. Martin and O. E.

Gentle Rubbing Helps Varicose Veins Rubing the swollen veins nightly for about two minutes with a gentle upward stroke brings benefit to sufferers and is mighty good advice, says an authority. After the rubbing, which should always be toward the heart, because the blood in the veins flows that way, apply Emerald Oil (full strength) with brush or hand. Try this simple home treatment for a few days and improvement will be noticed, then continue until veins are reduced to normal. .It is very concentrated and penetrating and can be obtained at any modern drug store. It is so powerful that it also reduces goitre and wens. Leo H. Fihe has Emerald Oil in the original bottle, and will be glad to supply it. Adv.

Union workmen Indorse Candidacy of J. li Lontz
For Democratic Nomination as Representative in Congress A committee appointed by the Moulders' Union of Richmond, Ind.,' has found John M. Lontz, candidate for the Democratic nomination as representative in congress, a man who has always been fair to labor and who can be depended upon to champion its cause. Lontz's labor record was investigated (and by a committee of men not in his employ) because he is one of the largest manufacturers of lawnmowers in the United States. The result of the committee's investigation are contained in the following report it caused to be published in the Richmond Labor Herald of March 3,1916: "To the Editor of The Labor Herald : "Dear Sir and Brother: We, the undersigned committee of Union Moulders, requested of John M. Lontz candidate for the Democratic nomination for congress in the Sixth district, to meet with us, which he readily arranged to do, February 27. "We had a long talk with Mr. Lontz and we wish to say, from the statements he made to us, that he is very fair to Organized Labor. "The wages he is paying his employes are far better than the average wages paid men in that class of work, (manufacture of lawnmowers.) "Therefore it is up to Organized Labor to be fair to this man who tries to be fair to it. "What labor is working for it what Lontz is working for. "Therefore the committee is very well satisfied with the meeting it had with Lontz in regard to his views on Organized Labor. "Yours in Union, . WILLIAM DINGLEY." GILBERT HORR, R.E.NIEMAN,
Former Congressman
Johnson
Nomination
Urges of Lontz
In a letter addressed to Horace G. Yergin, attorney at law, New Castle, Ind., former Congressman Henry U. Johnson, one of the most brilliant men who ever represented the sixth district in congress, vigorously indorses the candidacy of John M. Lontz for the Democratic congressional nomination. Mr. Johnspn asserts that Mr. Lontz, as the Democratic candidate, can command the support of many Republicans and former Progressives. His letter to Mr. Yergin follows: "My Dear Yergin: Have the Democratic friends in Henry county stopped to think carefully on the Democratic nomination for congress? "Whoever is the Republican nominee, Lontz will poll many more votes against him than Gray can possibly command. In fact, Gray has lost strength in Wayne county very perceptibly. John M. Lontz is a popular man in Wayne county. His candidacy has been very heartily received by our people irrespective of party. "I KNOW PERSONALLY OF REPUBLICANS AND PROGRESSIVES WHO WILL VOTE FOR HIM AT THE ELECTION IF HE IS NOMINATED. "Lontz has a fine mind, has been a close student of political and economic questions for years and has unquestioned integrity. He is a very energetic man and will make a logical speech in good language upon the stump. "WE DONT WANT TO LOSE THIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT and in Wayne county we can make our strongest fight by all odds with Lontz as our standard bearer. - "I cannot go into particulars in this brief letter, but a little inquiry will satisfy anyone that I have made no mistake in stating the relative strength of the two Democratic candidates in Wayne county. "Very truly yours, "HENRY U. JOHNSON."
