Before a small crowd the Alumni basketball squad bumbled the Richmond high school five on the Coliseum floor Wednesday night in the Red Cross benefit game -by the score of 34-22. " ''' ! Tor the first few minutes of the

Kame the high school team, though hort of its regulars, passed circles around the alumni five and during the entire game outclassed the alumni iiuintet on passing. Van Allen, forward, and Harding and Stegman, the two guards, were not in the game but RoUandd and Graffis, although lighter, playing tha later' guard positions, showed up well In those places. Through the whole game the R. H. S. 1917-JS Jive passed the ball down the floor only to be held by Pitts and Miranda, Simmons being the only one abl to connect with the basket, regular. Alumni Five Heavier. In the second half the heavier alumni quintet commenced to wear out the hhth men and the ball was in the hands of the alumni while the R.

regular team will be able to play in the game. Van Allen and Harding will meet, the squad there. The entire proceeds amounting to about $50 will be contributed to the Red Cross. Official score: Richmond High School. Cls. FIs. Msd.Pts.

While it is quite bad form in baseball circles to howl calamity undu!y yet it is only common , sense to acknowledge that the game next season is not likely to have one of its most flourishing seasons. Baseball is sure to -suffer through the loss rf those favorites who will have to march away to the wars. To discount this in some measure a number of the big bugs are planning to give the game a new zest and appeal. - To this end slight revisions in the rules have been considered and some of these" may go through. For ex

ample. Fred Mitchell of the Cubs sug-jand if the fan does not see' as flawless

gests that the rule . calling .i batter out on a captured foul be . hereafter disregarded. This might make the game longer, but few would kick on that and its chief merit is that it would gove the pitcher a little more to do. The pitcher has been the bully of the pastime for some while. A little, smack on the nose is what he has coming to him. The element of surprise and tbs unexpected is the thing that would most benefit the game in such times

tielding and such like as he has always seen before he may, at least see plenty of plays with the zip and pep in them. Much will depend upon the players and the spirit they phow and of the few changes are planned and performed as they might be there Is no reason why baseball should bore anyone next season. The interest in it is not at all likely to lag. But baseball is an amusement and there is

the chance that it might be made just a little more amusing.

TAX SLACKERS TO BE PUNISHED

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 27. It will require a small army of men to take the Income tax returns of persons subject to the new law. Collector of Internal Revenue Kruyer today announced that thirty-six officers will start from his headquarters on Janu

ary ist, ana on January 2 every one of them will be on the job in. the county assigned him, to meet the people and help them make out their income tax returns. The officer assigned to this county is due to arrive here on February 1 and to remain until February 16. He will have hi3- office in Richmond in Postoffice building, where he may be found every day of the dates stated. , "It will be well for every unmarried person whose net income for 1917 is $1,000 or over, and every mar

ried person living with wife or hus

band whose net income fo. 1917 is $2,000 or over, to call on the income tax man and learn whether or not they will have any tax to pay,". Collector Kruyer said today. "The person subject to tax who doesn't make return in the time prescribed is goin? to regret it. The Government will get after all income tax slackers." "There's hardly a business man, merchant or professional man who won't have to make return- of income. Farmers, as a class, will have to pay the tax. The safe thing to do is for every person who had a total income of $1,000 or $2,000, as the case may be.

and wno is not sure about what deductions the law allows him, to play it safe by calling on the income tax man. "The man inthe field will have forms for everybody and persons who expect to call on him need not trouble themselves to write to my office fo forms."

MURRETTE Pierre Dul'ere. son of the wealthy mine owner of St. Croix, was found in a cabin, riddled with bullets, and standing ovYr him, an ugly revolver clenched In her fingers and his life blood on her hands, was Sumac, dazed by the cold fear that gripped her heart. She would not. or could not. speak, so they led her to jail. Even the

big tender-hearted sergeant of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police who had seen many tragedies and pursued many criminals through the forests of the Canadian Rockies, had to believe the circumstantial evidence condemning Sumac. The old squaw who had mothered Sumac since infancy, knew the truth. When her guilty half-breed husband fled the scene of his crime she did not hesitiUe to nroduee documentary pro"of showing that the girl was the uild of Du Fere's brother, murdered years ago.

Would Revise Histories In Anglo-Saxon Schools

MONTREAL, Dec. 27 With the object of bringing about even closer relations between Canada and the United States and between the United States and Great Britain, ihe Fortnightly Club of this city has launched a movement for a careful revision of the school histories of these countries, in order to eliminate passages which might tend to create or perpetuate antagonism. The club has named J. Penrose Anglis and J. Armitage Ewing, K. C, as a committee to start an educational campaign.

MILTON, IND.

Sunday baseball may be played in Boston next spring if a movement under way at the Boston Navy Yard receives the indorsement 'of Gov. Samuel

W. McCall. All games will be played! for the benefit, of the sailors' fund, j and it is probable that permission will I be granted. "These Sundav samps''

may be played at- either Braves Field or Fenway Park. With many crack major league players enrolled, including Jack Barry, and Rabbit Maranville, and a host of others, the quality of the game should be almost on a par

with that furnished during the major i league season, provided, of course, the players are available to play-i

when the good old spring rolls around.

Few players who were in the major league when Hal Chase broke in are still in the big show, but the prince of first sackers continues to play brilliantly and apparently is good for several more seasons.

The departure of Bill Killifer From the Phillies will give Adams his chance to prove his worth as a regular and it is predicted that he will come through in fine style.

THESE STARS SIGN AS REAL FIGHTERS

"I never offered to trade Zach "Wheat to the Phillies for Whitted," said Col. Ebbets recently. "Wheat is

needed by the Brooklvn club. Further-!

more, I wish to say that I have refused to sell any of the Brooklyn players. We are not in that business. Why? Because we can't make thousand dollar, bills play the various positions on the team. If we can make a trade that will help the Brooklyns, well and srood. It is our dpsire to hnilrt n n

It was a test of his character, Lwinner at Ebbets-Field, and if some

other club has a good player to sell we may find a way to buy. By the way, Marquard will not be permitted to get away."

Austria Near Famine in Dairy Products

ZURICH, Switzerland, Dec. 27. Vienna newspapers report Austria's near approach to famine in eggs, vegetables, sugar, bread and milk. As a result of poor and insufficient food there is said to be a large increase in skin diseases manifested in boils, abcesses and .eczema. The working capacity of the laborers in mines and munition plants, and the health of the children is seriously menaced. Any further deterioriation of the food supply is bound to have in-

conceivaDiy grave consequences, sav Austrian papers.
