Willie Hoppe, the billiard genius has gone in for golf, but, as Hoppe admits, he Isn't making any very great success of it. Hoppe has found golf very

different from billiards, although he claims that he believes his ability at

billiards finally will help him at golf

as soon as he masters the rudiments of it. Hoppe says he has used plenty of "English" on his clubs, but beyond shocking some fair golfers once or twice, the results were scarcely of value.

Notice. Mr. Myers. Donald Cromley, a diamond star of Tri-State college, and a former member of the Middleboro club of the Appalachian League, wants a try-oat with the Richmond Central League club. Cromley, a husky six footer, is an all around athlete. He plays first base.

will complete its playing schedule for

the season. The successful formation- of the local club insures the entry of Fort "Wayne into the Central league, which city is to take over, the Wheeling franchise. The organization of the company to operate the- Fort Wayne club was completed some time ago anl officers of that company were in Richmond last week prepared to post their forfeit which they could not do until Richmond or some other ,city qualified as the eighth city of the circuit. Evansville is Isolated City The central this year will have the most compact organization in its history. Seven of the eight cities are so located ' that only short railroad "jumps" are necessary. Evansville is the only city which occupies a somewhat isolated position. The two big questions the officers of the local baseball company will give immediate consideration are the selection of a playing field and securing a team manager. The most high

ly recommended candidate for manager is" Bade Myers, field marshal of the Muskegon team last year and'one of the most successful of minor league managers. Myers has won four Central league pennants and has established a unique record as a remarkable developer of vouns ball nlayers. One year he man

aged Dayton he disposed of players J

to the big leagues which netted the Dayton club $8,600. Myers has an attractive offer to scout for the Pittsburg Nationals this season but would prefer to manage Richmond. Consider Gilbert Field Site Two playing fields are being' considered, Athletic park, South Twentythird street, and what is known as Gilbert field. Main street, opposite Glen Miller park. The offer made by the club by the five men who hold the lease on Athletic park is considered a little high by the club officers. Many believe that if the cost is not too great the ideal site for, the ball park is Gilbert field. A reasonable rental charge for that field has been offered. The fact that it is located directly on a double track car line, is only five minutes' ride from the center of town and 13 on one of the most traveled roadways in the country are features that make Gilbert field high

ly desirable. "I believe the fans would like to see their new team play in a new park," remarked President Eggemeyer. Will Place Tickets on Sale

The question of placing season tickets on sale will soon be taken up Company officers believe a large number of these tickets can be disposed of to local baseball fans. The Central playing season will open about May 1 and the Richmond team will be assembled here for training the first or second week in April. If possible three or four exhibition games, to be played prior to the opening of the season with major league, American Association or fast semiprofessional clubs, will be arranged. The league schedule will be drafted at a meeting to be held in Muskegon Sunday, which will be attended by President Eggemeyer.

Mark J. Samuels, former associate in a Mexican banking enterprise of Gustavo Madero, is suing for an annulment of his marriage to his "marble bride," whom he met in the Mexican capital. Samuels alleges that from the day of his wedding his wife has not given any response to his demonstrations of affection and has repulsed him time and again. Samuels and his wife had their fortunes wiped out at the time of the slaying of Madero and the uprising of Huerta.

After that first goal, Blount was invincible. Duggan admitted it when he took a slam at the wainscotting instead of giving Blount another stop. Harkens, too, would only shoot from behind the Richmond goal.

I have taken quite a great deal of

time in Investigating the alleged diS'

courtesy of the Earlham men In the

Richmond-Muncie basket ball game

Friday evening. I have interviewed quite a number of the members of the faculty who were at the game, and also a number of representative students. Almost all of them express surprise that anyone got the idea that the Earlham men were rooting against Richmond; in fact everybody I have interviewed says it is not true there was any concerted movement on the part of the Earlham men in favor of Muncie as against Richmond. Deny Notice of Such Conduct. Most of the people I have interviewed say they noticed nothing of the kind. It is evident that our yell leader did not start or carry out anything that would have reflected In any way upon the Richmond high school, and I find that many students did yell consistently for the high school. I also find that there were during the game groups of Earlham students who applauded good plays made by Muncie and that in 6ome instances these groups may even have appeared to be applauding for Muncie as against Richmond. One of out most level headed men tell3 me that there was a feeling among some of onr men that It would in the end be no loss to the Richmond high school to lose a game, as it would result perhaps in their

coming out stronger in the end and winning an enviable place in the toui nament. You will perhaps think it 13 scarcely a function of the college men to be attempting in this way to guide the destinies of the Richmond high school basket ball team, but I am reporting to you exactly what I have discovered among our fellows. This man I refer to said that this yelling for Muncie was done absolutely without any bitterness toward Richmond and with the hope that In the long run it would be the best thing for Richmond. I cannot find now there Is any feeling of resentment or bitterness among

have remarked that there have always

been, groups of high school students

who have yelled against the Earlham

teams. I think our fellows are large enough, however, to understand that such an outbreak does not represent the feeling of the high echool as a whole, and I write to ask you to place the same Interpretation upon any apparently antagonistic outbreak that may have occurred among our fellows last Friday night. For I am able to assure you that the college as a whole does stand for the Richmond high school, Is proud of Its achievements and is greatly gratified at the progress which is made here by the large number of students who come from Richmond. We are not unmindful of the fact that the present basket ball team is strengthened tremendously by Richmond high school men now members of the college, and the good-natured or even the unthoughted manifestations of approval of the work of another team should not be construed as a manifestation of antagonism or bitterness towards your school. Believes Impression Unjust. I of course have not been able to interview each individual student who

was present, but I do reel that the impression that has gone forth that Earlham was opening and definitely working against your high school is not justified by the fact. I do not doubt for a moment but that you will take the proper view regarding this

matter, and I hope that you will at-
