HIGH SCHOOL TO MEET HEAVIEST FOE OFJE ASON Mullins Proteges, and Fortville Team to Play CurtainRaiser. flichraond HiKh school's basketball iuad lshep with the heavy FortviUe iive Friday night at the Coliseum In a curtain raiser for the Earlhain-Anti-ech' same. Not only Is the Fortvllle team heavy l t It has the record of being beaten only once this year and will therefore la?; the It. H. S. passing machine to h lianlt. Practically all tbe men on Uifl Fortvllle five were on last year's .team. Coach Mulling has not chosen the oi her two men that will represent the f,bool. filling the-vacancles, made by Sb'Uon quitting and Crareer moving o Kokotno, but says he has some very rood material to choos from later. Field To Pick From. The Jikely candidates for the two xUeea are, Labrraen, Roberts, C. Mile?, 'Rollins, Latta. Weist and Hrlnley. All these men arc showing r.ood basketball ability and strong competition" for the vacant place. Mulltn'H liven are showing up well 'n practice even though handicapped br crippled arms resulting from vac-

ojnuion. Coach Mallina is emphasiz

ing basket shooting Ui practice this ek and is putting his men through a Ktrnuous workout, in signal pracih'M and carrying out plays with prei cinlon. Manager Nobr said this year's high chool team would be In better condl-

unn for the iournament this year t'nari any team put out before by the Hk'timocd high school. According to Mr4 N?ohr this will be due to the stiff sthVdnIe and the overcoming of that lack of training which has always been Richmond squad's chief fault. Man-

uop Nolir also taid that the success

of t!io tum did' not, alone rest with

Mio team or the coach, but a great I'Hrt of it would be due to the spirit high school jjlrls showed In aidttm i he men to stay in training by not accepting datf-s with any of the men

on the Unn when they needed rest.

Sport Shoits I

Napoleon Lajoie, one of the grand old uju of baseball, at present manager of the Toronto club, led the international league this year with a mark of .80. Otis Lawry, now tbe property of the Athletics, who played with Baltimore for a part of the recent season, finished the year with a mark of .296, but as Lawry took part in only twenty-nine games. Lajoie is considered the real leader of the league. Koss Yonng, farmed out by the Giants to Rochester this year, trailed Lajoie with an average of .356, an dTurner Barber, purchased by the Cubs from Baltimore in the fall, hit at a .352 clip. There were in all twenty-three men In the International league who hit .20 or better. Toronto and Baltimore were tied for the lead in club batting, each team averaging .238 with the stick. The Buffalo team was the lightest hitting outfit in the circuit and compiled a mark of only .249. Harry Se'bold, the Athletics' little right handed pitcher, who made an excellent record this year, has gone into the National army. Connie Mack's youngest son. Roy, has enlisted as a yoeman at the Charleston Navy Yard. The Athletics now have lost live men in the army draft Pitchers Seibold, Noyes and Naylor; Third Baseman -Roy Bates and Outfielder Ralph Sharman. Mack says he will not be surprised if the government selects four or five more in the next draft, which means that he will have to' get out and hustle for a dozen new recru'ts.

While everybody is howling calamity as to the sport situation in the United States it is interesting to road that spoifs have had a big boom in England in the last year, in spite of all the war that country has been up against, and that baseball has taken a foothold that is likely to be lasting. Who knows, the sensible English may be playing baseball after we have abolished it in the states as a war measure, under a policy that seems to demand that everybody puts on sackcloth and ashes and prepare for the end o the world.

Patsy Clir.e apparently is trying to outdo Benny Leonard in celerity of knockout. Leonard some weeks ago stopped Eddie Wagond in five rounds and Cline performed the &ame feat In three rounds.

Report from Vernon has it that Jack Lelivelt, former outfielder with var ious American league and American Association teams, is a favored candidate to succeed George Stovall as manager of the- Vernon Tiger3. Lelivelt's last engagement was with Kansas City. Recently Bush and Grover Cleve

land Alexander, the great pitcher of the Philadelphia club, shot a match race at 150 targets, and it resulted in a tie, each breaking 127.

A Cincinnati writer figures big things from Hal Chase in a batting way next season. He argne3 that Chase has a batting slump every other season, und that 1917 was his slump year, therefore be is to hit around the top in 1918. The report that waivers had beon asked and secured on Lee Magee by the St. Lpuis Browns was denied by officials of the club and it was said that there were hopes that Magee might come back enough to show as a second baseman for the Browns next year. Dick O'Brien. Cincinnati's hope in the heavyweight class, prides himself on the possession of a reach two and a half inches longer than that of Jess Willard. O'Brien's future largely depends on what he has behind the reach.

Charlie Babbington. the former Brown University player, who was given a trial by the Giants in 1916, hit 310 in the New York State league this year and may soon be on bis way back to the majors. Hugo Bezdeck, manager of the Pirates, is coming east to be close to the 6cene of action in baseball during the winter. Bezdock is also football coach at 'the University of Oregon.

HERMANN AND -TENER MAY MIX

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 More trouble loomed ahead today as National Leaguers prepared for their annual gabfest Tuesday. President John K. Tener and Garry Hsrrmann are reaching a sword'n point state in- their relations as a result of Herrmann's insistence on a joint meeting of National and American League magnates, regardless of President Toner's feelings in the matter. There were rumors th.it Tener might not agree to the selection of Herrmann again as chairman of the National Commission, and there were hint3 that Herrmann might insist in a cut in Tener's salary as one of the first war-time economies. Branch Rickey, president of Cardinals, was one of the first National League magnates to show up. Ho is said to have arrived for a conference with Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indianapolis A. A. club, who arrived today. An agreement has been reached, it was declared, which will allow Hendricks transfer to the , Cardinals as manager of that club. A proposal to abandon the customary spring training trips during the war was one of many problems to be considered. Reduction of the player limit was another subject under discussion.

FOUR REGULARS ON CRIMSON TEAM GO

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 11. Lynn Howard, the great Crimson fullback, is not the only Indiana football player who has answered the call to the colors. Risley. Bowser and Ew ert, all regulars of this year's team, have left to enlist in the naval reserve training corps. Risley is only a sophomore in school, and was one of the men in whom coach Stiehra was plac

ing his hopes for next year. The big

end is a great natural football player and all-round athlete and was sure to have made hi3 mark in conference circles; Bowser, playing his second year here, has developed into a valuable man in tho back field and fitted in well with Stiehm's style of play. Ewert, who figured so prominently in Purdue's eleventh hour protest, is considered one of the most powerful linesmen, who ever wore a Crimson uniform. Captain Hathaway, too, is thinking seriously of enlisting and will probably leave at once for Chicago to join the same unit that his teammates have entered. Hi3 work this year spaaJi&Jlor itself.

On The Screen

'lilll-mMMimMHUIii)i

MURRETTE Miss Juliette Day, the clever young actress who was featured in that sensationally successful Hatton drama, '"Upstairs and Down," and whose popularity along Broadway is secure, is known as one of the most graceful and enthusiastic dancers of the professional stage. Miss Day's early, stage ambition was to become a premiere danseuse. Her extraordinary success in the drama, however, decided her to remain permanently in that field nut the extraordinary grace and agility conferred by her dancing experience are apparent in every move she makes. In "The Calendar Girl," playing the Murrette today, in which Miss Day is starred, her beauty and grace are equally emphasized when she dances in the superb ballroom scene.

MURRAY William S. Hart, admittedly America's premier interpreter of rugged frontier types, has the leading role in "The Primal Lure," Triangle production of Vingie E. Roe's celebrated novel of the same name, adapted for the screen by I. G. Hawks. It will be seen at the Murray Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. "The Primal Lure" is an absorbing drama of life in the great Canadian

Northwest It recites the stirring romance of Angus McConnell, a young Scotch-Canadian factor, and Lois Le Moyne, daughter of a French settler at the post. It is replete with thrilling encounters with the Blackfeet Indians, and terns with a love interest rivaled in its appeal only by the picturesque beauty of the etory'c background.

WOLVERINE STAR WINS COMMISSION

V ft;

HOOVER CLOSES CAPITAL FIRM

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 11. Indiana handlers o food stuffs are warned to a more careful observance of the rules and regulations of the federal food administration lest the fate of Morris Singer & Co., of Washington. D. C, befall them. This firm permitted two car loads of potatoes to deterior

ate, while shipment was under its control. . It received notice from Herbert Hoover, federal administrator that its privileges of doing business had been withdrawn and that any attempt to operate further laid it liable to the fine of $5,000 per day provided by the Lever law under which the food control Is effected. Dr. Harry E. Barnard, state food administrator, is asking county food administrators, the Indiana Stat Council of Defense, all members of county councils and other patriotic citizens to report to him any cases of food wastage such as that of the Singer company, wherein they have provable

information. In such, case tbe federal department of Justice will assign an agent to the prosecution of the offender who in addition to such liability

stands to be deprived of bis privt-i leges in a business way. :.
