10 TO 3 LEAD JO DISCOURAGEMENT TO ASFIBAHTS FOB STATE TITLE; SMASH HAY THROUGH TO VICTORY

"We have met the enemy and

Richmond, 35; Rushvllle, '25." This communication from Faculty Manager Towle, received a few minutes after, the battle was over In Rush county territory, last night, gave the first news of the performance of the locals in the contest with Rushvllle. ' It was a great battle and a great, victory for the warriors of the Red and White. Rushvllle, playing on' its own floor and before the home folks, carried the fight to the Quakers, and only the hardest kind of effort enabled the Richmond fads to win. The game, from the start of play, was fast and rough In spots. The Rushvllle five wasn't overly polite. When the battle was over several Quakers, Including C. Porter, Brown and Meranda, were just a bit the worse for wear. The report of injuries suffered gives Porter credit for a clouded optic; Brown a wrenched ankle, and Meranda, just general Injuries. " - Rushvllle Leads. :

Ilushvllle, following the same line I of attack used against the Quakers in the game here a short while back, jumped the gun, figuratively speaking. At the close of the first five minutes the Rushers lead, 10 to 2. With an abundance of speedy team work, coupled with brilliant shots, it Beemed that Rushllle had the angora of the local team. And then Richmond, tiring of the monotony of seeing an adverse Bcore, hove to and took a hand. Forwards Porter and Brown, and Center Bus Parker became interested, and Rushvllle fans, so jubilant at the start of the game, suffered the shock of seeing their boys trampled under foot. Richmond's first score was a long, spectacular shot of Guard Meranda. Porter and Brown followed with field baskets. Bus Parker, donated a field and a couple of free point markers, and Rushvllle was passed at the ten point wtage. Once to the fore, the R. IT. S. was not to be halted; and the initial stanza closed, Richmond, 15; Rushvllle. 12. The second half was full of speed and teamwork. Porter . and Brown gained range of the enemy cage this round, and both harvested a big crop of two-point markers. Meranda, Parker and Pitts meanwhile were taking care of the defense department. The final shot saw the Quakers total advancing at a regularity disgusting to the Rushvllle team and rooters. Richmond offered a faultlessly clean game and made no changes in line-up. The score:

Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Tommie Jones was only 5 years old, but he thought a great deal, and sometimes he said things that showed he had a great deal of sense in his little head. One day a family moved Into the house next to where Tommie lived. It was not very near, because the houses were far apart and not like the city houses. "O mother! there is a little boy come to live in the next house," Tommie told his mother. "I saw him go in there just now, and he is as big as 1 am." Tommie meant by that, of course, that the little boy was about his age, and he wts so impatient to see him again that he hardly ate any dinner. That night he came in to supper with n smiling face. "His name is Freddie, and he Is 5 years old, just like me," he told his mother. The next morning he was up bright and early to play with his new friend, and when he came into bis dinner he bad many things to tell. "O mother! Freddie has a cart and a horse that goes all around the floor when you wind it, and he haB a VaBeball and a bat, too," he said.

Casualties reversed, FALL RIVER ANXIOUS TO CAPTURE CONTEST To accommodate the late arrivals, tonight's polo game between Fall River and Richmond at the Coliseum will be called at 9 o'clock. With practically every seat taken, attendance tonight is expected to break all records. Fall River, flushed with the 6 to 2 victory over Muncie last night, arrived in the city late this afternoon. The Easterners are anxious to eyen up the affair of last Wednesday night. Both teams will be represented by the regular lineups. George Cunningham, Jr., will referee.

He has accepted the challenge on the condition that the games be rolled at the City alleys. Newspaper Syndicate, New York. "He has an Indian suit, too, mother, I wish I had one." That night Tommie came home with many more wishes. "Freddie has a music box over at his house," he said. "I wish I had one." "And he has a big boat that will sail in the water, too; he has a knife with two blades, and, mother, has has a watch, and he carries it all the time." "I am afraid my little boy will find Freddie has many things that he does not have and cannot have, for Freddie's father has more money to buy things with than your father," said his mother. "You must not let it make you unhappy because Freddie has so many things to play with and you so few. "Perhaps you will find there is something you have that Freddie has not got, if you keep your eyes open, and then you may think you are much more fortunate than Freddie." "I guess it is not so about Freddie's not having everything" said Tommie the next day at the dinner table. "I kept both eyes wide open, and I didn't see that he was without anything. He has lots more than I have, mother, I am sure." "You keep your eyes open, son," said his mother, "and if I am not mistaken you have something . that you would not part wlt;h for all of Freddie's toys or even his watch." Tommie did not look as though he believed what his mother said, but that night when he came in the house there were tears in his t)ig blue eyes, and he ran to the kitchen, where his mother was preparing supper. "I know what it is he hasn't got that I have," he cried, clinging to his mother's skirt;- "Freddie hasn't any mother; his mother is dead." Tommie's. sobs came fast and loud,"

HOW SHIN GUARDS DEFEATED MUNCIE BY 6 TO 2 SCORE

MUNCIE, Ind., March 4. Billy Blount, the kid goaltender, and his seven-inch shin guards proved Muncie's stumbling block again last night, when the All Stars won by a score of 6 to 2. Blount bettered his number of stops in the two former games, having a total of fifty chalked up to his credit last night. One of Muncie's goals was an accidental one, the ball glancing off Harkins' stick into the AJ1 Star goal. The Muncie team played a fast game and put up as good an offensive game as the visitors, but it was that stonewall defense that did the business. Barney Doherty saved Blount may stops. The old war horse played in better form than he did here Tuesday night. Following is the line-up score and summary: All Stars. Muncie. W. Williams A. Williams First Rush. Higgins Fahrner Second Rush.

Bowden, of the Cambridge City high school, are effective, C. H. S. will be represented by its basketball team in the coming district tourney. Cambridge City while formally entered in the Richmond tourney is not certain that it will take part 'next week. Eugene Diffenderfer, star forward of the team, is out of the lineup because of parental objections. Remaining members of the C. H. S. five believe that with "Diffy" gone they will stand little show in the local meet. Principal Bowden, however, thinks that the boys will fall in line by next week and that the team will be among those present when first games of the tournament start at the Coliseum. Madrid is said to be the highest city in Europe. It is built on a mountain plateau 2,200 feet above the sea level. but his mother took him on her lap find soon quieted him. "Mother knew her boy would not want to change places with poor little Freddie when he knew there was no mother there," she said. "You see, it was wrong to want anything Freddie has, because he hasn't any mother and his father buys him all the things that money -can get for him, so he will not be unhappy." "But he'd rather have his mother than anything else in the whole world," said Tommie, looking up at his mother through his tears; "he told me so and tie cries every night when he goes to bed, and no one tells him a story or tucks him in his bed same as you do me." "Poor little Freddie, we must be very kind to him and do all we can to make him happy," said Tommie's mother, "and you will never again want anything Freddie has, will you. or be unhappy because you cannot have as much as he has?" "No, mother, I won't," replied Tommie, hugging her tight. Masonic Calendar Monday Richmond Commandery, No. 8, K. T. Stated conclave. Tuesday Richmond Lodge, No. 196, F. and A. M. Stated meeting.

With lengthy Al Laning tossing' in enough field baskets to win a couple games of this calibre, the Earlham Freshmen basketball five defeated Liberty High school last night The score was 47 to 15 with the Quaker yearlings leading from the start. Liberty showed that it knew some of the finer points of the game., The Union county, boys however, had miserable luck at the hoops and this coupled with th fact that the prospective Quakers were putting up an unusually clever brand of work spelled defeat for the invaders.

1UAKERS TAKE LEAD; BUT PAGE IS TOO HOT FOB OTTESIDES CREW

Coach Johnny Thurber experienced considerable trouble In getting his Franklin basketball machine started fact night, but when the cogs did begin to whirl it was a case of good night Earlham. The statistics of the! rough and tumble Coliseum battle were 31-21 with the Baptists showing tft' way. i Throughout the first half and up until the closing moments of the final, the Quakers were in the lead. Clever team work and basket shooting gave the local five a lead of seven points ten minutes before the close of the fray. Then Franklin, came to life and the proteges of Whiteside were passed standing still. From a standpoint of basketball, the game was a minus quantity. A football sharks Franklin's five of brawn and beef might show to advantage. As exponents of the indoor game however they showed little talent.

With the idea of repeating the affair at Franklin ten days ago, the Quakers started strong. With the exception of the first few minutes when Franklin thanks to a field basket of forward Mullikan led for. a brief moment, the Quakers were to the fore during the opening round. Earlham's floor and team work this half was of the sensational variety. It was perhaps the best exhibition of the season. Meeks, Laning and F. Winslow, as an offensive combination had the Frankllnites worried. Bundy and Templin were covering the Baptist end men closely. But the pace began to tell on Whiteside's crew just ten minutes before the final shot. It seemed the Quakers suddenly lost interest In proceedings and were satisfied to watch the enemy toss goals. During the closing minutes Franklin outplayed the Quakers in every department. Stars for Franklin were Mullikan and Klyver, forward and guard, respectively. The giant Mullikan was a "bear" on the offense. Klyver was a facsimile in the defense department. For Earlham, Fay Winslow and Speedy Meeks displayed the most consistency. . The score: Franklin. Gls.
