' With two men under the weather trnd one ineligible the prospects'of the Earlham squad are not bright for the Antloch game. Both Pontius, one of the main stays of the Earlham passing -machine, and Edwards, who did the poiut making in St. Mary's game, are- ill. Johnson the Thorntown star is in eligible. However Pitts has been out to practise and Is showing fair form in spite of the fact that his arm is not well. Carrey will play Edwards position at center. Probable Lineup The probable lineup that will start the game Friday night is, Brown and .loBBup, forwards: Carrey center, and MeeUs and. Pitts, guards. Coach Mullina held no practice of the high school basketball team on account of the sore arms of the men caused by vacinnation. ' All but two reported to the Coach Friday morning that they would play Friday night. " They are Van Allen, the plucky little forward and Stegman, the l'acka;uard. Friday Coach Mullins said no lineup would be picked until Friday night when the men report at a meeting which he would call later in the day. It Is thought that many of the second team will get a chance to play. Uihrman. Rollins and Grai'fis may be " lucky ones.

Dec. 14. Immediately after the season, Bill Killifer was married to Miss Peggy Thorpe, as sister of Mrs.. George Stallings, of the Braves and they are now living in Los Angeles, where Bill is in the real estate business with his uncle and is doing well. Mrs. Killifer is opposed to his playing ball any more, and Bill had written to eastern friends that he is through with the game. Fred Mitchell wired him yesterday. Killifer may stick to his determination not to play any more ball, and at any rate it is going to take a big salary to drag him Into a uniform again. It would be an awful blow to the Cubs, after their big and expensive deal, if Killifer should run out on them. games. These two are known as the slowest working pitchers in baseball. Owners of the Cardinals and Browns in St. Louis are figuring on losing some valuable players in the coming draft. Among the Cardinals who may be called to the training camps in the spring are Horn3by, Cruise, Horstman, Snyder, Jack Smith, Long, Baird and Meadows. The Browns who may be ordered to report for military duty are Severeid, Sothoron, Wright and Gerber. George Sisler, the Brown's star player, said recently that if he wasn't drafted he might decide to volunteer his services to Uncle Sam. The loss of Sisler

Price of Alexander Said to be $50,000

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 14. It was learned from a trustworthy source here today that the money consideration involved in the sale of pitcher Grover C. Alexander and catcher William Killifer, by the Philadelphia Nationals Is $50,000. Of this amount, $25,000 is to be paid at; once, and the remainder is to be turned over before the 1918 season opens, provided Alexander is not drafted into the national army before that time. "You Rattle When Thorpe Hits You, 99 Remarks a Victim DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 14. Jim Thorpe, the great Indian athlete, who again donned semi-professional football togs this season, won a rather vivid compliment from an opponent in a game played by Thorpe's Canton, O. eleven, here recently with the Heralds, the local champions. Thorpe did not play in the first half during which neither team scored. The red whirlwind went on the gridiron In the third period and then the trouble commenced. On a line shift, Thorpe took the ball and , ZINGO! He circled the end so fast his ankles got hot. "First down," sang the referee. A few moments later a' punt formation was called. Thorpe dropped back, but he didn't kick. BLAM! The Carlisle star went through the massed line like a brick through a window. "First down." Again and again Thorpe carried the ball until it was within a few feet of the Herald's goal. Then a forward pass put over the winning touchdown. As the Indian trotted on the gridiron after 'the score, one of the Herald's crack linesmen who was near the Elde lines gazed at him with awe. Turning to a newspaperman he said, explosively: "I never used to believe the stuff they told be about that guy, bul all I've got to say, is this: when he hits you, why,' you you rattle!" would just about kill the American league in St. Louis. Harry Wolter of the Cubs, has applied for the job of manager of the Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast league. ... Old Pants Rowland, manager of the world's champs, has been appearing in vaudeville recently around Chicago and seems to have given general satisfaction. He has discussed the world's series for the vaudeville patrons and has been always interesting and at times downright humorous.

Legion of Death 99 Spars Aggies to Spectacular Game EAST LANSING, Mich., Dec. ,14. Co-eds of the Michigan Agricultural college watched their gridiron acquaintances play football and get walloped so often this fall that they found it necessary to do something real thrilling. When the Aggies lost the first games to state college teams which they used - to sneeze at, the - young women students sat tip and took notice. ' When . the season progressed and Brewer's men continued their remarkably unique record of no victories and consistent defeats, the co-eds decided that somebody had to stir these gentlemen up a bit. For moro than a week before the Syracuse game, the girls went into secret session each day. Then came Syracuse and the surprise. . Between halves, two score of co-eds, led by officers of the cadet regiment marched on the field and gave splendid drill. When their work was completed they swung under a large service flag which contained 490 stars the total of M. A. C. men who are serving their country. The band played the "Star Spangled Banner," and the thrilled crowd stood at attention. That the spectacle nerved the Aggie fottball men, is history. The green eleven went out on the frozen gridiron, and, although outweighed 15 pounds to the man, fought Syracuse almost to a standstill. The final score was 21 to 7, in favor of the Easterners, but two of the Syracuse touchdowns were the result of spectacular runs. The debut of the "Legion of Death" was a glorious success. many present being moved to guffaw. Rowland was telling about the cele-j brated Zim-Collms race to the home plate and he declared that Heinie chased Collins a distance of "from fifty to seventy-five yards," which seemed ludicrous to all of those who Note This

MILLION-DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT PLOT IS FOILED BY If. S. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.- Secret Service agents here today looked for further arrests in a counterfeiting scheme of international proportions, which is said to involve more than $1,000,000, and whose ramifications extend to many foreign nations. Two arrests have already been made at the instance of Chief William JFlynn, chief of the Secret Service, and a complete counterfeiting outfit has been confiscated. Eugene Parodi, a lawyer, has been arrested on a charge of conspiracy to oustruct justice. He is said to have advised his client, Louis de SHeJly, alias Marcos Gonzales, to forfeit cash bail and flee the country. De Shelly was charged with attempting to pass a counterfeit 1,000 franc note on a Wall Street bank last August. De

knew that the distance between third base and the home plate is only ninety feet. Jack Hendricks is putting over a brand new sort of comeback. It now appears that he is yet to be the Cardinal manager next season. When Branch Rickey signed Hendricks some weeks ago he found that Jack had a contract with Indianapolis that has a while yet to run. Now it seems that an agreement may be reached between the Indianapolis and St. Louis managements and that Jack will get the big league job he yearned for, after all. SNUFF BOXES BACK LONDON, Dec. 14. Snuff boxes are said to be coming back into fashion, but with the difference that they now contain sugar instead of snuff.
