Earlham Quintet Meets DePauw Team and R." H. S. Clashes with Martinsville. Two of the best fames of the season are expected Friday night when the Earlham basketball squad battles the DePauw five and the Richmond high school basketball team clashes with the test Martinsville basketball lossers on the Coliseum floor. Coach Bubs and bis squad of seven men left Greencastle Wednesday for a three-day trip. The team played Franklin Thursday night, meet Earlham Friday night and the Indiana Dentals'Saturday night. All the men are in good cape and are out to make a clean sweep of all three games say DePauw
basketball fans. However they give Larlham the credit of being the most formidable basketball team that it meets this trip. I Thi3 will be the last trip that Carlisle, star forward of the DePauw
team, will make as he has been declared Ineligible to play after Fefcruary 13. The seven men making the trip are Captain Smith, Carlisle, Billingsley, Ramsey, Ball, Isenbarger, Kriner and McClure. Earlham basketball fans are optimistic over the game although they predict a hard and close battle. Richmond high school basketball live is all set for the game with Martinsville quintet In the fore part of the double bill. The high school team lias been practicing steadily and has been puttinf through some good work on the floor which should result In decided improvement in Friday night's exhibition of basketball.

George '(Knockout) Brown, the Chicago Greek battler, was a tough bird while in the ring and it seems that he's still a tough bird in the army. Brown is now a private in ft regiment stationed at San Francisco and he bills himself as the middleweight champ
ion of the army. Not long ago some of Brown's friends in Chicago pooled together and bought him a little gifc Everyone knows that while a wrist watch isn't right at all on a civilian It
is considered just about indispensable to a man in the army. The wrist watch sent Brown, however, didn't make any sort of a hit at all with the hard lad from Chicago. He sent back a most indignant letter to his manager, Nate Lewis: "Thanks for the smokes, but I want you and Tommy Walsh to keep the list of the guys that sent that wrist watch and when 1 get back I'll break their necks. Tell 'em I kicked the watch clean out of the quarters. Yours, Knockout Brown."
Jinx McCaffrey, president of the Toronto club, eays he has heard nothing from the Chicago Cubs in regard to the purchase of Larry Lajoie. The veteran slugger still is the property of the Toronto club.
Carl Weilman's departure from the majors will cause no tears at Detroit, as the big southpaw was unusually effective against the Tigers. It has been said that he had only to walk to the box and the Tigers were beaten. The New York Yanks are all swelled up over their infield since the arrival of Derrill Pratt. They appear to believe that there is nothing better in the league. It is true at least that the Yanks' infield will show not only much fielding class but considerable power
WILLARD-FULTON WOULD BE LONESOME
The chancea of a Fulton-Willard title bout seem to dwindle along with the average fan's interest in such an affair. As time goes on and nothing happens the heavyweight division becomes more and more of a bore and the time is not far away when a bout for the heavy title will completely fail to get the fight fans all worked up. Many alleged offers have been made for this match, but so far none has i ung true. None of the real promoters has shown the least disposition to post
for the match. It was Wizard's first bout sine- winning the championship from Jack Johnson, and the public wanted to see whether the big, nonaggressive fellow which it had often ridiculed really had developed into a great fighter.
What ring fans saw on that occasion did not arouse a great, deal of enthusiasm, and if Williard had been staged right back again he probably would not have drawn over $15,000. Since then he has lost what popular-
at bat. Pipp is one of the best first sackers in the game today and Pratt is a second baseman with few in front of him. Peckenpaugh at short and Baker at third ms-ke up quite a strong combination. This crowd has not the fattest averages of all the league, but they are dangerous hitters and able to slam the ball for extra bases. The dope shows that in two years they have turned out 199 doubles, 65 triples and 47 home runs out of 1,088 safe
hits. Jack Hendricks, the new manager of the St Louis Cardinals, is both confident and talkative these days. He has made himself solid with Mound Cty fans by declaring that he will land the Cards in the first division. Hendricks is an optimist. He never expects defeat on the ball field. Yet he is sensible enough to admit that he will have a hard time beating out the Giants. Branch Rickey and Hendricks should get along smoothly. Rickey believes that Jack is a more capable
manager than Miller Huggins, but that is a point which must be shrouded in doubt until the ball season gets under full headway. At any rate, Hendricks is going about his new task with the proper spirit, and it is safe to say that the grass will not grow under his feet.

241 TEAMS IN BASKET MEETS
Two hundred and forty-one basketball teams have signified their intention to compete in the district meets of the state.
This is an increase of thirteen over the number last year when 228 qintets took part in the district meets, preliminary to going to Bloomington. Secretary Trester of the High School
Athletic association expects that there will be many more teams in the meets. The final arrangements for the meets together with the playing schedule will be made at a meeting of the state board of control, to be held in Indianapolis early in March. Secretary Trester gave out the revised list which is still subject to change. The list remains the same except that there will be twenty instead of seventeen district basketball meets. Franklin, Kendallville and Vincennee have been added to the original list. !

money to guarantee that be would go ' through w Itn the affair. The men who have had experience in handling big fights are of the opinion that the high price Willard sets upon his services makes it impossible to stage such a pmtch at this time. However, if Fulton makes short work of Billy Miske in another, match ar.d beats Frank Moran his prestige will be increased considerably, and then perhaps a real offer will be made. But if Willard wanted $50,000 to face Fulton when the latter was looked upon as a Joke fighter the champion 1U probably double his price when it tomes to meeting a man who is looked upon as a real live contender. Willard demanded and received $47.TOO for ten no decision rounds with Frank Moran, who did not figure to have a chance with him. But at that time the conditions were Just right

ity he gained by defending Jack Johnson. Fulton, for his part, is not nearly as dependable as Frank Moran, who could always be counted upon to do his limited best. Nor is Fulton anyv.here near as popular as Moran, who Uad a great following. As matters stand at present Willard is a colorless champion, who has no personal following and who has made himself ridiculous by offering to do great things for the country and then falling down very time, he was called upon to make good. Fulton, the challenger, is also without a rabid following, and even those who recognize his ability in some respects have no confidence in him. Under the conditions there seems to be small chance of the bout attracting aiything like the. sum that was paid to see the Jeffries-Johnson affair at Reno, yet Willard seems to be determined to demand as much as was offered for the best advertised battle in ring history.
