BRINGING UP EARLHAM IS ALL SET FOR COMING CONFLICT HERE Eight Baskctballers in Fightmg 1 rim to Meet rranKim Quintet. The Earlham basketball squad Is all "set" for the continuation of the bas ketball schedule as soon as teams are able to travel again. Coaches Lewis and Mowe, after put ting the Earlham basketballers through a stiff practice Monday evening, are confident of the team making a good showing in the coming tilts. Lewis's proteges ehould show the Frankllnltes some stiff paces In the game scheduled here next Saturday night, but It Is expected that the Franklin outfit will make the yellow and white step along some. Eight men will probably represent Earlham In Ike coming games if each continues to show the ability he has been showing under the direction of Coach Mowe. The team has been doped out to switch players whenever it is necessary during the game. The men who may hold forward positions are Pontius, Brown, Jessup ond Hiatt center,' Edwards and Pitts guards, "Speedy" Meeks, Johnson, Pitts and Pontius. These eight men Coach Mowe feels confident will prove such a fast and well trained combination that It will take a very last team to push it to a defeat. Hiatt Probably Out Coach Lewis announced Monday that Hiatt will probably be ineligible for the coming game. Lawler who has been vaccinated has jusi reported for practice. Brown who is usually the leading forward has not been in all the practice but is showing up well. The curtain raiser Saturday night will be between the Richmond "V second team and the Earlham fresh men. Tne y team, aunougn smaiier rc,mon ond mmnnsnri nf

The Richmond boys will sWe have , fere, to move some as the Anderson aggre This year it is all to be quite differgation claims the distinction of taking ent. The Association officials have de-

six straight games lrom some of the speediest teams in the state. Coach Mulllns' aggregation will still be handicapped by the loss of Steg1 ,.f Cn0ot n in him wi, , trim in a few weeks. Marfeley Lahrman a first string man on the hiph Fchool "varsity" basketball lineup will be out of the game as he left for Indianapolis Monday to take tho final examination for the army. If the high school boys don't watch out Garfield Junior high school will be developing a team that will be as fast as the high school first team. The Richmond high school second team is showing some good basketball material that ought to give th first Ire a good workout practice. Principal Eontley, in a "thoos" talk before the high school body Friday called tho Richmond baskttballers a good tidley-wink bunch of players. If Richmont doesn't get busy and register a victory soon the basketball fans will all agree with him. As it ia there ore still a great number who believe that the team will come back.

American Association pitchers will often feel mournful this year and look back with longing at last season, when meir xives were iree ana unretterea. son r,p strictly forbidden me way mey uauauy manage things in the American Association, They go from one extreme to the other. Last year there was no effort made to restrain the pitchers and these latter got away with the rawest sort of stuff. Queer deliveries and freak shoots were so many and so var ious that the batters and catchers wore bumps and bruises all over their persons. A pitcher walking out to start a game would have with him a complete kit of sandpaper, emery files, He would then fix the ball to suit his fancy and dish up some new hops such I Bs thfi hattpr hid novr coen hatnra And the umpire never tried to Interit came to Killefer he looked at it and, seeing that it was slightly roughened, tossed it to the Los Angeles bench, calling for another ball. Casey waited play. Boles, who was catching, turned around and said: "Did you call time?" "Sure," said Casey grinning broadly. He hadn't, and the Vernon players could both have scored had they been "wise" to the situation. Neither crowd nor players of either team noticed this lopse of memory on the part of Killefer. Emery Tltman, Philadelphia's 400 pound fan who was a prominent fig ure at the world's series last fall, is being sued for $7,000 by John D. Shibe of the Athletics, the suit grow ing out of the sale of a yacht.. There's one big crowd the Athletics won't have next season. Pat Moran has persuaded President Baker of the Phillies not to abandon St. Petersburg, Fla., in favor of Southern Pines, N. C, as a training site. The Phillies will leave for Florida on March 20. Charley Herzog says it would improve batting if the pitchers were compelled to cut out all windups. It might help some if the ban were put on curves too. The Browns are signing players under the draft age as well as over it. They have just engaged a pitcher named Jack Mulcahy from El Paso, who is only 19 years old. It won't be a new experience for Bill Killefer to sign a contract with Charles Weeghman. It was Weeghman who obtained Bill's signature to a Federal league contract during the baseball war. Killifer later repudiated the contract and stuck to the Phillies. I While Mrs. Earl Shepheidson, of Fairfax, Vt, was dressing a chicken recently she found a ten-cent piece in the gizzard. . .

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM.

WILL BE IN A. A. THIS YEAR TlteylL Icck &i ore a&muy cided that these monkey tricks must cease and so the pitchers are to be held under observance and the first one trying anything queer will be are greatly amused at this new ruling The batters point out that they won't do a thing to these birds that made them so miserable last season, oh, no The batters say they will pick off nicefat averages slamming the harmless deliveries of the boys who were such demons last season. In fact the batters say tbe A. A. pitchers will be a bunch of bums this season, anyway you look at it. The A. A. pitchers deny all this, of course, but they declare that the new ruling is a great mistake. They consider that it will make the game uninteresting and that most of the club owners will be sure to lose money Not that the pitchers care on their own account, but they hate to see the game suffer. Very likely the parks will have to close down in the middle of the season. Yes, the pitchers feel that it is all very regrettable and sad. Results at Garfield Junior League Standing. W. L.

HAGERSTOWN GETS ONE GAR OF GOAL

HAGERSTOWN. Ind., Jan. 16. Suffering caused by the fuel famine here was partially alleviated when a car ofcoal, received by Teetor-Hartley Motor Car company, was aurned over to retail dealers for domestic use. Many homes had been cold for several days as a result of the shortage of coal. With the. roads still in a bad condition it is unknown when wood will be hauled into town by farmers. The shipment of hogs by farmers near here is being held up and it is believed farmers will suffer great financial loss as a result. High school pupils here may soon be attending Saturday sessions. . Superintendent of Schools Collins favors the plan as outlined by the state council of defense so that the term may - be ended sooner, giving pupils the chance to aid In added crop production.

YOU CAN DEFY DISEASE IF YOUR BLOOD IS PURE

Don't Invite Attack by Sluggish Circulation Keeping your blood supply up to the standard of perfect purity, is like building an impregnable fortress around the system, to protect it from the insidious enemy of disease. Thus you are assured of a strong and vigorous vitality that means perfect health. When impurities creep into the blood supply, there is a loss of energy, a failing of the appetite, you are easily tired and find the body weakening under ordinary tasks, all of which means that you are losing that strong, virile, robust vitality that keeps the
