EARLIIAL1 WINS, HIGH DEFEATED AT THE COLISEUM

Small Crowd Sees Contests School Men Play With Sore Arms. Before a small basketball crowd the crippled Earlham quintet defeated tbe Antioch five "by a score of 22-18, and tbe Richmond high five handicapped by sore arms from vaccinations, in tbe second part of tbe bill, .went down in defeat before the heavy Fortville passins machine, losing tbe game In a hard fought basketball battle Friday night on tbe Coliseum floor. The first game between Earlham and Antiocb was marked by tbe Clean playing of both teams, only ten fouls being made by the two teams. Meeks opened tha scoring for Earlham and Brown soon followed with another field goal. The Antiocb passing mar chine with Little as tbe pivot man led In the scoring at the end of the first half by one point, 13-12. '- Carrey started the game at center in ft trad of Edwards but. tbe Earlham men already1 handicapped by having Pontius and Johnson on tbe bencb could not get any of their practiced plays into action without their regu lar pivot man so Edwards took Carey's place in tbe latter part of the first balf. Edwards Soon Scores. In the first few minutes of the secend balf Edwards scored a field goal. followed by Brown and Jessup giving the Earlham five the lead, which was held to th3 end of the game. Jessup shot fire of the goals made by Earlham and Brown was the next best Earlham point getter, making three field goals. In the second balf Lawler went in for Brown and Pontius for Edwards, Pitts being switched to center, letting Pontius play forward. . Little was the bright light of tbe Antiocb team making ten points of the eighteen, and C. Vannorsdall, the plucky little forward, and W. Vannorsdall played a consistent game. In the fiist half of the second game Fortville forged ahead of the Richmond five ending the half 15-12, and in tbe second half toward tbe latter part when Van Allen and Stegman were put in the game tbe high school passing machine commenced to climb out of tbe bole and with a few minutes more to play might have defeated the Fortville five. Van Allen and Stegman being on the bench with the exception of the last five minutes handicapped tbe team work of the local five. Too much credit can not be given to the grit of the Richmond high vaccinated basketball men who with painful arms played tbe game with exceptional skill. ; Simmons with his usual ability ran up the highest number of points for the Richmond high team, making 20 of the points, Robinson and Lahrman, a new member of the same squad, making the other S points.

GOTHAM SPORTS IN TEARS

'1W With boxing on the shelf, the sport fans of New York appear to be in a bad way for entertainment this winter. Some idea of their desperation is seen in the fact that wrestling and six-day bike racing have bad them clamoring at the doors. When New York fans are obliged to get all worked up over a eix-day bike race it will be understood that they are in something of a plight When worse comes to worse the New York sport fan will attend a wrestling matcb and try to fake an interest in the proceedings. This only happens however, when the situation has become really acute. It would not be astonishing to hear just now that a croquet match bad packed them in at Madison Square Garden. The fight game has moved JXC3C After some six or seven years of languishing in the background the Chicago Cubs appear to have been seized witb ,a new ambition and are now . preparing to step out in front with tbe rest of the real ones. It has been so long since the Cubs have really amounted to much that the sport world will be astonished when they show the speed and class for which they were once famous. Old Grover Alexander Is the boy wbo is looked to to do most all of this for the Cubs and if one pitcher can do It he will just about come through. There's no doubt that Charley Weegbman has put over a large deal and that the Gubs will be greatly benefitted. To what exteut will be easier to say some time next season. HI. Myers of the Brooklyn Dodgers hasn't had the applause that he deserves. Last season Myers showed himself to be one of tbe most versatile players in tbe big leagues and this in spite of a leg broken early in the? season. In bis regular position in the outfield Myers ranked fourth 'with .982 in the fielding averages. He was tied with Deal of Chicago for third place tn third base averages of .971 and .925 at first and second base. As an all round, fielder there are few in front of Hi. Five years ago Bombardier Wells knocked out George Rodel in tbe second round of a bout staged In London. Rodel is a Boer and fought tbe British in South Africa before he began fighting in the ring. At the time he insisted that be got a raw deal in tbe bout with Bombardier. In the long dispute which followed the scrap Rodel claimed that be was waiting for the count of eight to get up when the timekeeper rang- the bell and spoiled bis rest. Rodel began fighting in the ring about eight years ago, and whipped all the best amateurs in South Africa. He then went to England and made a very good showing, defeating several heavyweights. Later he went to Paris and met Sam McVey, and Sam put tbe South African to sleep. He made an excellent impression on the Americans when be appeared on this side of tbe Atlantic. He fought Gunboat Smith, staying witb him for ten rounds, and finishing strong. Rodel is over six feet in heighth, and could reach from the allied Frenches across No Man's Land into a German dugout and pull a few Heinies out into -1 Danger Ahead !

out and something or other must make an effort to replace it. It may be an awful strain on the New York fight fan, but now is the time for blm to show that be is a dead game sport. He may have to strain himself to show any excitement over the backgammon or bop-scotch championships, but if he's got it in him he'll do it Fight fans in New York are hoping that the game will be revived later in the winter. The membership scheme cf attending fight shows has not bad the most glorious success and will likely pass away before long. Only a return of the real thing with legalized boxing can bring cheer to the rport fan's heart. In the meantime he must make the most of wrestling and other such maudlin entertainments.

XEBJkrXr the open. Maybe he's doing it. Who but the censdr knows? If any of the New York Giants had hoped to get a raise in pay next season they may prepare to burst into tears. The New York management has decided that all of the Giants must get along with the same contracts next year though it's possible that all of the players have not yet been informed of the same. President Hempstead and Manager Muggsy have been in no great , hurry to chat with the boys about it. Most of the game's stars who are lucky enough to be still at it all next summer should be willing to worry along on the nice fat wages they are now getting, especially at a time when baseball is none too prosperous anyway.

MACK LETS GO OF THREE MEN

PHILADELPHIA, p- Dec. 15 The sale by tbe Philadelphia Athletics. of Strunk, Bush and Schang to the Boston Americans for $60,000 and three players is the second. big baseball surprise for tbe Philadelphia fans this week. They bad . hardly gotten over the surprise caused by tbe sale of the Philadelphia Nationals' star battery, Alexander end Killifer, to tbe Chicago Cubs.. : .-.v. . This is the third time in the last few years that Connie Mack has cut deep into his playing staff. The first time was when he let- Bender, Plank and Coombs go. The second was the letting out of Eddie Collins, Jack Barry, "Home Run" Baker and Pitcher Shawkey. The sale Of Strunk, Bush and Scbang leaves "Stuffy". Mclnnis as the only veteran' of Mack's former world's champion team. Amos strunk is 28 years old. He came to the Athletics in 1909, and is, ranked as one of the fastest fielders in the American League and also as a bard hitter. "Bullet" Joe Bush is 25 years old. He joined the Athletics in 1912 and was one of Connie Mack's dependable pitchers when his other twirling stars began to wane. In 1916 be pitched a no-hit, no-run game. "Wally" Schang came to the Athletics !n 1913. He is 28 years old. Schang Is an all-around player, having1 filled positions in the outfield and infield as well as catcher. RACING STAR NOW IN FLYING SERVICE Eddie Rickenbacker. . ; Eddie Rickenbacker, well known as a demon of the auto, speed track, is now Lieutenant Rickenbacker of tbe aviation service. Eddie enlisted right after tbe declaration of war, soon rose to top sergeant and was- later assigned to drive General Pershing's car. He left this to Join the flying division and after recently winning his commission has been given bis place at one of tbe stations at the front. Both Charley White and Benny Leonard declare that. they are looking forward eagerly to their twenty-round bout whenever it may take place. It seems probable that they are looking forward even more eagerly to one of the fat purses that have been offered for tbe scrap. -

J. ADAMS LEADS IN BACKSTOP FIELDING

Jack Adams. - Jack Adams, tbe Phillies' young catcher, led all other National league backstops in fielding last season. The official averages recently announced, show that Adams misjudged but. one cbonce in 171 offered. With a bit harder bitting Adams should soon be one of the best young backstops in the- game. U.

An odd feature of the batting records in the National league this year is that tbe twelve highest men all playin more than 120 games. Benny Kauff played In more games this year than any other members of the Giant team. The center fielder missed only five games.

Big Leagues Decide to ITony : Along on Before-the-War Basis

CHICAGO, Dec. 15. There will be no curtailment of the playing season, no slashing of the player limit nor limitation of tbe training season in the major leagues next year. The club owners of the National and American leagues decided at their joint meeting here yesterday that there' was no cause for alarm about baseball at present They agreed that if the war forces them to retrench, it will be time enough to adopt a war policy when they actually face conditions. The two leagues decided to open the 1918 season on Tuesday, April 16, a week later than last year, and to play a 154-game schedule, which has been the program for years. The National league agreed to tbe American league plan for the collection of the Federal war tax. It waa decided to collect only what the government imposes 3 cents on bleacher seats, 5 cents on pavilion seats, and 8 cents on grand stand seats and 10 cents on box seata. The leagues also decided to collect a 10-cent tax on every free admission. There Is every Indication that the plan for a new division of the world's series price, which previously had been opposed by President Johnson of tbe American league, will be adopted. President Johnson and August Herr1 mann, president of the Cincinnati NaBaseball Commission, were empowered to act on tbe advisability of adopting the plan, which provides that the four first division clubs in the two leagues shall share in the purse. "I was much Impressed with the thought," President Johnson said tonight "It came from Mr. Herrmann, Alexander Won 30 and Lost Thirteen Grover Alexander, who was sold to the Cubs this week, has been with the Philadelphia club seven seasons and in that time be has won 190 games and lost eighty-three, a percentage for that time of close to .690. Last season he won thirty and lost thirteen, so he isn't a slipping slabman in any sense of the word. In 1917 be took a new record for shutouts. Alexander is exactly thirty years of age, the only thing against him as a valuable purchase for the future. Branch Rickey has signed a high school boy of Kentucky to pitch for the St. Lbuis Cards next season. His name is Stanley Rees and he is said to be quite a child wonder.
