QUAKERS GRASP LEAD OF LEAGUE BY FOURTH WIN

HOW THEY RANK W. U Pet. Richmond ........... 4 1 .800 Muncle 4 3 .571 New Castle... 3 4 .429 Indianapolis 0 3 .000 Games Thli Week Tonight Richmond at New Castle. Tuesday Richmond at Muncie. Wednesday New Castle at Richmond, v -Thursday Indianapolis at New Friday Indianapolis at Muncle. Saturday Muncie at Richmond. Thanks to Saturday night's wallop of the Indians at the hands of the Quakers, the Richmond polo five has stepped into the lead of the I. S. L. with a commanding margin in the percentage standing. Muncie is trailing a fairly close second with New Castle contesting the right to share the runner-up position. Indianapolis appears hopelessly stalled. The Quakers were a bit lucky in taking over Saturday night's contest The Indianapolis five, geared to win. offered a great brand of polo against the home outfit and with a more or less lucky break would have come through with its firBt win. Poor defensive work, too. served to hand the contest to the Quakers. Harold Has, Off-Evening The Indian offensive of Ted Williams, Bobby Loxon and Big Jean was one of the most vigorous seen on the liiehmond floor this year. Putrid work of Harold and May offset the Willi am s-Loxon-Jean brilliance. Indianapolis needs a couple of defensive players, it is agreed unanimously. Richmond starts this week with a tead of one full name. A victory at New Castle tonight will insure the Quakers the upper berth until Wednesday at least. A defeat at New Castle tonight followed up by a jolt at Muncle tomorrow night would Just about push the Quakers down to a tie with New Castle in third place. Games at Richmond this week are New Castle and Muncle, Wednesday and Saturday nights respectively. f HOW RICHMOND WON I Richmond (5) Indianapolis (4) L.

Rustlings of the Netting

The work of Tubby May, the Indianapolis cage keeper, was mellow. Little wonder Doc Heber Hall Harold calls May, "Sieve." Lewis had rank luck. Two of bis drives failed to remain caged. Harry O'Metz's 47 stops against May's 27 tells a story all Us own. Counter attractions made for a slim house the smallest of the year. Lou Quigley increased his rush account at the expense of Father Time Lewis. Bobby Griffith again broke into the goal column. It's getting to be the habit with Griff. Indianapolis, with Griffith and O'Metz ae defensives, would have the strongest team in the circle, somebody opined. Granting that, it , might be said New Castle would have the strongest

team in the quartet if it had the Quigleys, Evans, Griffith and O'Metz. Bobby Loxon, the Indian running mate of Ted Lewis,, acquired his early polo education playing shinney on the ice near his home in Boston, Mass. It was "Sieve" May who suggested they flood the Coliseum floor for Loxon's benefit.

EARLHAM DOES WELL IN OPENING CLASH

In holding the Illinois Athletic club basketball team to a 69-10 score, at Chicago Saturday night, the Earlham college five displayed a calibre of work that promises much for the coming season. The I. A. C. is virtually the strongest basketball team in the states and the Quakers' showing in their first game was commendable. Earlham's next battle is with I. U. at Bloomlngton this coming Friday night. The first game at Richmond is theh Wittenberg contest at the Y. M. C. A. Dec. 19.

Sixty saloon licenses were issued by Wayne county commissioners in 1916 (one new license was granted and the others were renewals ). One of the renewal licenses was never taken out however, and this leaves the total number of saloons now open at f ftynine. These facts were found today when statistics in the county auditor's office were compiled. Since licenses can be applied for only on the first Monday of each month, there will be no more granted. All but five of the saloons are located in Wayne township. Jackson township has the others.

BERLIN, Dec. 11. With the close of the racing season nearly everywhere in Germany it has been found that the gold pieces which were turned in at the "gates" during the summer, In return for reduced prices of admission, total about half a million marks. ; . . ...... . , Whereas, the majority of the press at first greeted this news as "altogether satisfactory," a portion of the papers, after thinking it over, have decided that it is "altogether disgraceful" to discover that so large a number of people obviously had unpatriotically abstained from turning in their gold until induced to do so in order to buy amusement a little more cheaply. Part of the press is thoroughly indignant that in these days of appeals from all sources to turn In gold, in these days of collecting bureaus for old gold and ornaments, there should
