PLAYERS All ROOTERS REACH CITY 200 STRONG: RICHMOND IS FAVORITE
Richmond fell today.
Utterly unable to withstand the pressure of attack of the basketball forces from within and without the city, from near and far points of the Sixth district, the city succumbed today before the onward crush of the invading host
of basketball enthusiasts here for the second annual tournament of the Indiana
High 8choot Athletic Association With the arrival of the Brookville contingent early in the morning, Richmond high, for a long time held In restraint by a watchful faculty, was unable to withstand the strain, and B. H. S. was the first victim.

i At noon today there were fully 200
; out-of-town persons here for the open
i Ing games. High school and the Y. j M. C. A. swarmed with visitors, who I were being royally entertained by students of the It. II. S.. Steam and traction lines were bringing additional
I crowds every hour.
Richmond high school toiled under
the handicap of a solid session this
morning. What little was accomplish
ed by the students was gained only
with the promise of a big demonstra
tion to follow the morning session.
The high school band, drum corps and kindred noise associations were used effectively in making this noon's parade a feature of the day. A side light of the whole affair was tte arrival of the Hagerstown high team one of the best teams in the district which ia unable to participate because of a faulty entry. The Hagerstown boys predict Richmond to win the tourney and made the trip expressly "to see the Quakers take over New Castle and Brookville."
VETS CAPTURE TWO FROM ROSE TEAM
an
! Led by J. P. O'Brien with
i average of 183, the Vet force of the Knights of Columbus bowling circuit made it two best of three in the series
with the Rose Buds at the City alleys ; last night. Broderick's score of 201 , in the first game enabled the Buds to get one game of the series. Other . high average lights were Broderick 'with 165; P. Mercurio, 153; and Qulgley, 149. J. P. O'Brien took high ' score honor at 226.

For the tool makers. Asbury went out of his class when he totaled 166.
BRADFIELD'S BOYS LOSE SECOND GAME
"Boys, there must be something wrong with our system," sagely remarked General Tacks Bradfleld. of the Creek polo force, as Date Geyer and his Quigley assistants began to fill the pen for the markers that gave the latter crew a 8-7 win in the Coli

RUSHVILLE IS SPEEDY
One of the speediest teams of the
district and considered by many as
the five that will take the runnerup honor, to Richmond, Rushville high should figure materially. The Rushers to the man, are a lengthy lot of basket shooters. They know the game from A to Z.

Speaking of hard lines, here comes New Castle with the customary "bear"-story. The following dispatch from the camp of the Rose City five Is self explanatory: "Thad Gordon, captain and star forward of the New Castle crew victim of mumps. Unable to play. Other N. H. S. players affected." Granting that the above contains nothing but the gospel truth, sympathy is extended to Vic Law30n & Company. They certainfy need Gordon in the present crisis.

MILROY HAS RECORD
Milroy comes to Richmond for its first appearance. This will be the first time that a representative five of M. H. S. has played in Richmond. The ability of the team may be judged by the fact that it easily doubled the score on Connersville high. Milroy's record of five games lost of 15 played gives an idea of the strength of the team.

Last but not least, Richmond high the pride of the town and the hope of the R. H. S. student body. The record of Richmond, high the best of any team in the district speaks for
itself. The Quakers seem to be the
logical winners of the meet and while
the unexpected always has, does, and might happen, backers of the Red and White predict a clean sweep for the Richmond high five. The team lineup: Forward Clarence Porter. Forward Harold Brown, "

The Mount boys are said to be a husky lot and play the game from the first whistle. Mt. Summit will test the mettle of Brookville high in the 5 o'clock game this afternoon.

WELCOME NEW CASTLE
Of the many things that might be
said about C. H. S. one of them is that the team certainly wasn't shown any decided favor when New Castle was selected as its first opponent. Cadiz experienced the same poor luck last year when the team was scheduled to meet one of the strongest teams for the first game. Cadiz does not expect to defeat N. H. S. but intends to make the Rose City bunch scrap every minute. The team lineup: Forward Joe Meyer. Forward Harold Huff. Center Lawrence Maddy. Guard George Gowdy. Guard Art Wisehart. Forward Howard Brennaman. Guard Roscoe Keisling.
CAMBRIDGE CITY HERE
With the same lineup that has been taking the rank and file of lesser basketball lights all over the county for the past month, C. H. S. invades Quakertown. The decisive victory of the Cambridge varsity over the Richmond second crew at Cambridge last Friday shows that the west county boys have been Improving since an earlier appearance here.

"'WATCH CARTHAGE"
"Keep your eye on Carthage," Is the word that has gone the rounds of the R. H. S. rooter colony. Somehow or other Carthage doesn't sound inviting to the local rooter colony. Something is to be expected from this quarter, local rooters say. Carthage has established an enviable record this year and should prove one of the first teams in the present tourney. The team lineup: Forward Earl Hill. Forward Donald Winslow. Center Lowell Dyer. Guard Roy Linscolt. Guard Harry Schuneman. Forward Paul Pence. Guard Worth Pitts. '
Quakers Lose Fourth in Overtime Battle
FALL RIVER, 6; RICHMOND, 5. In full justice to the persona contributing those beautiful floral offerings, the Fall River crew of polo sharks just simply couldn't loss last and after five minutes and 31 seconds over time play, during which several near nervous prostrations wers reported, Richmond was obliged to succumb to the prowess of B. Doherty and company of Eastern leaguers. It was the last game of the series of four games with the Fall River crew. And it was one of the best, too. By winning one last night the
visiters got away with one game of the quartet.

SPICELAND BATTLES
Spiceland Academy, like Milroy and
Mt. Summit, is a stranger in Rich
mond. Little Is known of the strength
of the visitor except that the team
has won a majority of its games played this season. The Academy boys are an aggressive set of leather tossers and should give Cambridge City a parcel of trouble in the 3 o'clock game this afternoon. The team lineup: Forward Marion Jeffries. Forward Myron Pike. Center Newton Brennaman. Guard Hugh Gannaway. Guard Howard Hinshaw. Forward Arnold Templeton. Guard Robert Hinshaw.
UNION CITY RESPECTED
"The team that defeated Stivers by a larger score than registered by Richmond," as -the team is hailed in the local basketball colony. Union City comes here with a reputation which has growTi by leaps and bounds within the last 48 hours. The Randolph boys may spring the unexpected it is rumored. Union City, it seems, will meet Richmond in the 8:30
HERE COMES LIBERTY
Were you to ask any one of the some 800 students of R. H. S.: "Who is Liberty?" .the answer in all probability would be something to this effect: "The team that wants to meet Richmond." Liberty has that chance today and tomorrow. Whether she will take advantage of it is yet to be determined. Liberty is to meet Milroy at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The team lineup: Forward Spencer Stevens. Forward Maurice Maibaugh. Center Riley Whitman. Guard Cecil Davis. Guard Ewing Tappan. Forward Alva Barnard. Guard Clarence Thompson.
BROOKVILLE IS STRONG
Ability of the B. H. S. crew is well
known in Richmond. Doped by many
to meet Richmond or New Castle in the final game Saturday night, the Franklin county visitors must be con
sidered at all times. The team is a
husky one and averages heavier per
haps than any other five entered. B. H. S. relies on its dribble and floor
work. The team is a veteran one and lines up: Forward Chaffee Shirk. Forward Elmer Bossert. Center Glenn English. Guard Stanley Younts. Guard Reuben Milbourne. Forward Herbert Gels. Guard Horace Shirk. '

Flower Show Included.
Of the many varied features that permeated last night's mixup, the flower show staged in connection with the polo contest, the appearance ef George Cunningham, the comedy work of one Barney Doherty and the work of F.ddie Hlgglns, old timer, took initial ribbons for cleverness and class. During the intermission of the first and second periods, Billy Blount, kid goal tend of the Fall River crew, was presented with a big bunch of carnations. They seemed to please the kid mightily and who not to disappoint the donor, settled down and really prevented the home guard from taking over the game. Barney Doherty. was also the recipient of a huge parcel of tissue paper that held in its depths a single, snow white lily. And in the crisis Doherty acquitted himself welL The treat promised the Richmond clnb if it made it four straight did not materialize. A further side light to last night's performance was the "come-back" of George Cunningham, known to veteran Quaker fans as just plain "Cunny. Cunningham, despite his long absence from the game showed that be still retained a thorough knowledge of all the finer points. He played a good game at center. Higgins Plays Polo. As to the battle itself. Higgins, who by the way played polo last night, started things by shooting one through O'Metz. Sox Quigley, In a drive from the 6outh west bank, evened this advantage for a brief moment before Higgins came back with another dribbled shot. The session closed 2-1, Fall River. The lone tally recorded In the middle chapter knotted the score at three all. Lou Quigley scored this one after taking the sphere from scrimmage. Business picked up in the third rcund. A matter of minutes and seconds after start of play Walt Evans took a long hard drive from
the north center of the wainscotting. The hook, a terrific one, bored through Blount. Eddie Higgins camped before the Quaker pen took a pass from Williams and Fall River stock went up one point. Play at this point was becoming speedier every moment, Harkins, at termination of a wide sweeping dribb.Te, drove for the next one. O. Q.aigley came back with the tieing cotmt. Williams and L. Quigley kept th9 balance on the score sheet. The
final ended 5-5. Just five minutes 31 seconds after start of the extra session Williams by a Jjcky break gained possession of the rubber at the north wainscotting. His drive silenced the Quaker throng. The- lineups, score and summary: Fall River. Richmond. Harlsins, Williams L. Quigley First Rush Higgins ....O.

If you are a manufacturer seeking to market -our product, inquire what sort of advertising your distributors' prefer. Inquire what sort of advertising sends customers directly to their stores and moves the goods from their shelves. These men know and their cooperation is not only useful It is vital. Your Inquiries will bring you facts about newspapers and open the gateway to acquiring profits. A preliminary inquiry to the Bureau of Advertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association. World Building. New York, will be cheerfully answered.
