DOUBLE-HEADER IS PLANNED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT

Y. M. C. A. Quintet May Play Curtain-Raiser Before High Game. A double header basketball game probably will be staged next Friday night at the Coliseum, the first game between the Hamilton "Y" five and the Richmond "Y" quintet,, and the second between the Bloomington high school basketball team and the Richmond high team. If the school authorities agree to Coach Schwan's "Y" five playing the first game with Hamilton Friday night Coach Schwan announced that the game would be cancelled for Saturday night and an attempt made to bring the team here Friday. A few weeks ago Hamilton defeated the "Y" basket ball squad on the Hamilton floor. The high school basketball men are in good shape for the game physically with the exception of Stegman, who lias been ill with the pneumonia and will not be able to be in the game Friday night. . This is the last high school game at home until February unless a game is scheduled here for the open date, January 25. On January 18 the Richmond high school boys meet the Anderson team.

Anyone who has looked Into the matter will admit that Vean Gregg's comeback in the International league last season was. one of the most astonishing in many, years of minor league ball. Gregg's pitching for Providence was a thing of beauty and of purest ray serene. And it was all accomplished by quitting the bowl that foams and by keeping in the best of shape. Connie Mack now has Gregg booked up for next season and he believes that Vean will knock 'em cold in the American league again just as he has done in seasons gone by. Before taking Gregg on Connie Mack looked him over more than once last year. He made up his mind that there was no mistake about it, Gregg was ready for a big showing in fast company. Coming into the American league some years back after a sensational showing in the Coast league, Gregg

went a great clip with Cleveland for a while and then took a slump that made him of little value for two seasons. A sore arm .was the big reason, but a love of merry times and such1 like didn't help the arm along much. So that Vean slipped away from the select circle and earned his salt in the minors. The old salary wing seems to have recovered fully, however, for Gregg not only hurled high class ball, leading the league's pitchers in almost every department, but he also pitched aften and showed himself to be a glutton for work. He reports that he was never in better condition and admits that a grand way to keep in good shape is to disavow the suds. "Anyone who desires to return to his best fettle can do so by using his noodle," says Vean, "and by laying off the well known one-or-two.' I'm off now for life."

BY JACK RYDER In Cincinnati Enquirer Though President Charles Weeghman, of the Cubs, beat bis way through the blizzard from Chicago to Cincinnati on Sunday night and arrived here yesterday morning only two hours behind time, his strenuous efforts will not enable him to add the name of Roger Hornsby to his little list of hopeful athletes that he searched all over Chicago Sunday night for some railroad that was operating a train to Redland. Ban Johnson found his favorite road blocked and -desisted from further attempt to t,et out of the snow-bound Windy City, but Mr. Weeghman, with one hand on his cashbook and one eye on liomsby, discovered an open road and dashed madly in this direction.

He came full of hope that the power

of his coin would wrest the release of Hornsby from the St. Iouis Club, but his trust was in vain. One anxious offer to President Branch Rickey and Manager Jack Hendricks, of the Cardinals, and hope forsook the Weeghman wigwam. "There is no inducement that you can offer which will cause us to part with Hornsby," said Mr. Rick

ey. I nave given tne matter or a

trade every consideration, but have

definitely decided to keep our young shortstop. Nothing: more need to be

said about It. My mind is fully made up." .

Mr. Rickey was firmly backed up by

Jack Hendricks, his new manager,

who declared that no possible offer

It is said to be quite sofe before being exponsed to the air, and is therefore crushed prenaratory to burning.

It is usually found that the boxer who foulB deliberately and most all fouls are deliberate has a streak of yellow adorning his spinal vertebra. The really game fighter never fouls and a game fighter is usually better seen in defeat than in victory. The lad who keeps working hard even though he is taking lots of punches and never tries to get even with a foul blow is the sort that Is popular in the ring. It is also noteworthy that rarely has a boxer come to any prominence who waa not thoroughly game through and through. The champions have always been the boys who could take punches without whimDerine and who have al-

ways carefully avoided the rough stuff.

Bob Fitzsimmons in his time was perhaps In more tight" places than any other fighter the game has known. But there was never the suspicion of a foul in any of his battles. Stanley Ketchel was another as game as they ever come. No doubt Stan was one of the roughest but he never used any foul methods. He, too, had been in many tough places, but he never stooped to the coward's way out of them. Terry McGovern was a furious battler, but he always kept within the rules. Joe Gans was without question one of the cleanest and fairest stars that ever entered the ring. Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, however, do not deserve quite such pleasant appreciation. Both were rough battlers and neither was without his trace of cowardice at times. Though able to take lots of punishment, they both showed at different times In their careers a certain lack of moral courage. Fouling seems to be a more frequent occurrence today than It has for some while. It seems to be seen particularly among the present day heavies. Carl Morris is probably the most Illustrious

example, though Fred Fulton has been found guilty more than once. Gunboat Smith and Charley Weinert have records that are not unblemished. Of all the heavies Frank Moran looks to

be the gamest. Moran may not be the cleverest or the hardest hitter, but there has never been- any rough stuff marked up against him. They have the right idea in Wisconsin. After wearying of too much stalling in their fight shows it has

been decreed in that state that any fighter found guilty of faking through a fight hereafter will not get his money for the exhibition, but the same will be turned over to charity. A clause to this effect will appear in every fighter'a contract and he will not be able to recover through the courts. If something of this sort was in more general practice fight fans would not so often be obliged to watch a hugging match instead of a spirited battle. John L. Sullivan will soon celebrate his sixtieth birthday and he looks fit to celebrate quit? a few more yet to come. He is livin on his farm in Massachusetts and leads a life that keeps him in the best sort of fettle. It is Interesting to note that almost all of the fighters Sullivan met in his day have 6ince passed away, but the grand old man keeps hearty and has never let prosperity or success have a chance at bis health.

REDS MAY TRAIN AT

OHIO SOLDIERS CAMP

CINCINNATI. Jan. 8. Plans were

virtually completed today for the Cin

cinnati Reds to shift their spring training camp from Shreveport, La., to

Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., this

spring. The move, if made, would be for patriotic purposes, as the big

leaguers can help relieve the monotony of the soldiers' lives by playing three games a week. Christy Mathewson, manager of the

Reds, is now at Camp Sheridan direct

ing the largest checker tournament

ever held anywhere. He favors the

change, according to word brought to Cincinnati by Camp Sheridan Y. M. C.

A. workers. President Herrmann, of

the Reds, also favors it, but will leave the decision up to Mathewson. Herrmann believes the Chicago Cube would be glad to take the Shreveport contracts off the Reds' hands. Mathewson has donned an army Y. M. C. A. uniform and will remain at Camp Sheridan as a Y. M. C. A. director until the training season opens.

For Burning Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should not be applied if good dear skin is wanted. From any druggist for 35c, or $1.00 for extra large size, get a bottle of zemo. When applied as directed it effectively removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns, wounds and chafing. It penetrates, cleanses and soothes. Zemo is a clean, dependable and inexpensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you have ever used is as effective and satisfying. The E. W. Rose Co.. Cleveland, O.

could be made for Hornsby that would interest him in the slightest degree.: "I do not claim that Hornsby is our

whole ball-club," said Hendricks. "But he is one of the men we will not part with. I think it is very wrong of Mr, Weeghman. to go around announcing that he is going to get this player, when he hasn't the slightest chance to do so. .1 have told him point-blank that Hornsby is not for sale at any price, and that is Just what I mean. This is definite and final." These statements by the St. Louis

COUCHMAN ASKS NO EXEMPTIONS

SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan. 8. "Bob" Couchman, well known Urbana ball player and last summer with the Richmond Central league team, appeared before the draft board of his home city Friday with his questionnaire. Sheriff Seigle laughed as he was thinking of the time when he was at the head of

the Akron ball club and Couchman was one of his star pitchers. "This is the easiest time you ever

had in getting in Class," remarked the sheriff. Bob replied, "Well, if they don't keep me any longer than you did J'll be lucky." ' . . Couchman was placed in-Class A and asked for no exemptions, stating that he was ready for the call at any time. Couchman is wintering at his home in Urbana. ,
