TEAM TONIGHT
. Earlham Is on Edge for Game
Deciding the I. C. A. L. Champions. , ' The Earlham basketball five meets the Wabash quintet for the first time
this season on the Coliseum floor Fri
day night. The game will be for L C. A. S. championship honors. The Earlham team Is on edge for the game, Coach Mowe having worked out several new plays which will be tried against the Wabash men. The team, however, Is minus Pitts, one of its regular men, who has quit for the rimalnder of the season. Pitts, who v ai one of the regular guards and substitute . center 'and has not been cut to practice this week. This leaves one guard position open. Carrey will have a regular berth now cr, extra center, it is thought, and as soon as Coach Mowe locates his third guard the team will be ready to do battle with any basketball team that claims the I. C. A. L. championship. The Earlham men are prepared for a bard fight and expect to have a hard time winning the game but "win it they will" so the student body says. Mason, center on the Wabash team, recording to stories coming here from Wabash, is an excellent man for the position nnd gets the jump every time. He hasn't met Edwards, Earlhum center, Hunt, another old Wabash man of the famous wonder five, is considered good and will give Meeks and Johnson a workout, Captian Pontius announced Friday , that Brown and Jessup, forwards, Edv ards, center, and Johnson and Meeks, I guards probably would start the game' tgainst the "wonder" basketball crew, i Pontius probably will be held in' reserve by Coach Mowe as be can play til her forward or guard if necessary. The game starts promptly at 8 o'clock as. there will be no' curtain raiser played.

JtS. J. & K, N J2,
Something quite new in the way of a contract is being mailed to the players these days. After looking it over they will find that while heretofore they have been paid for six months' work, from April 15 to October 15, this season they will work only
five and a half months. The season will close October 1st This will mean the saving of quite a few thousand
dollars to the game, though it is only
cutting two weeks' pay from the wage of the average player. It is estimated that the major league payrolls of last season, all rolled into one, would amount to something over a million dollars. The shorter season will mean the saving in salaries alone of $85,000 or thereabouts. Of course this would be discounted In quite a measure by the admissions paid in at the gates for those two weeks. And of course quite a few players will up and holler quite a bit about it. But the magnates have figured that the change will be a profitable one and that furthermore, you understand, it's necessary. So the players displeased can holler their fool heads off If they so desire. It is not likely that Walter 'Johnson will get into line for some time to come. The big pitcher will be asked to accept considerably less money than he drew down for the past few years and much correspondence is In prospect. Fielder Jones -rises to remark that the 1917 season was the worst he has experienced in baseball, but he con
tends that with an even break In luck be will have the Browns fighting for a first division berth this season.
Branch Rickey says he is reason
ably sure of landing two college stars,
one being Pitcher Ed Langdon of the
University of Pittsburgh. The other is an outfielder, whose name must re
main secret, for the present. Bert Shotton's signed contract has been returned to Manager Griffith and
Eddie Ainsmith also has enrolled lor
service with the Senators next season.' : Eddie Collins will play second base for the Chicago White Sox again this year. The $50,000 star has received word that he will be placed In "Class Four. Conseouently Manager Row-
CAMBRIDOE CITY, Feb. 8. The ! iami win have the same infield that
Cambridge City independent basketball i played in the world's series last fall team defeated the Eaton independents j Gandil, Collins, Weaver and McMulhere Thursday night by a 40-28 score, i nn. According to present indications Jones and Williams, Cambridge City! the White Sox may lose only one of forwards, each made six field goals their regulars. Pitcher Urban Faber,
and with the close guarding of Win- whose strategy proved too much for ters and Diffenderfer held the Eaton the Giants In October. Happy Felsch,
independents to 28 points
Western league, has been drafted and will probably be called before spring. The Dayton (Ohio) players who were Injured In the railroad wreck near Peoria last summer have settled with the Big Four railroad. . Two got damages of ?6,750 and another got $1,500. All of Charley Weeghman'B money may be spent for star ball players. About three months ago his automobile killed a three-year-old w boy and now the Cug magnate is being sued for $5,000.
Pitcher Bernie Boland of the Tigers is the first of Jennings's players to sign for the 1918 season. Boland is one pitcher who makes a specialty of trimming the Yankees. Infielder Ed Murray is the latest major leaguer to get into the bigger game of war. Murray, formerly of Trinity' college, joined the Browns last summer. He has been accepted in the aviation corps.

FRANKLIN LOSES GIANT CENTER
FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 8. The hardest blow of the season fell today onl Franklin basketball squad when the loss of Knoop, giant center on the Blue and Gold, was announced. The second semester found It. necessary for the giant New Bethal lad to drop out of school to attend to home work on a farm, and coach Thurber Is greeted with the prospect of developing
another pivot man to work against the strong DePauw five which will
form the opposition on next Friday
night at Greencastle. Knoop was tne giant of the Franklin squad, and his
place will be hard to fill. Thurber will likely use Mattingly, former
Washington high school player, In the
lineup at center the rest of the seacoa
Hughey Jennings is quoted as saying that there are only three players in the American league who are worth $4,000 a season in. salary. He mentioned Cobb' and Speakers as two of them. , ..Hughey's views on .National leaguers are not known, but probably do not increase tbe number.
59,700 Baseballs for Troops in France NEW YORK, Feb.. 8. Indications point strongly toward baseball being played extensively by the troops in France this spring. The Y. M. C. A. war work council has awarded a contract for 59,760 baseballs, probably one of the largest orders ever placed. Special preparation has to be made in packing these balls so they will not be affected by dampness. Special cases are made for the purpose. If the war lasts long enough,- the American army may convert the entire French nation to baseball. The French kiddies near the American camp have taken it up with real vigor and many of them already are quite proficient. -. The American army in Cuba carried baseball to the island and now it is played by boys in Cuba all the year round.

The report from the Irish port which also said that army Identification tags found on the bodies of the soldiers washed ashore bore no names or numbers, making identification impossible caused considerable speculation. Army regulations' require identification tags bearing name, rank, company and regiment of . the wearer. Although there was no official confirmation of this report the officials declined to comment. It was pointed out that the dispatch said that the soldiers ha'd not
been assigned to definite units. Early Death Toll According to advices in the hands of the war department early today, the total missing from the 2,379 souls aboard the liner is 210 of which 113 are American troops. Cable press dispatches say that 2,296 persons have been landed and are being cared for in Irish villages and cities. . No official story of the sinking has reached the department, and press stories of the cool behavior of the troops, some of them partially trained boys who lined the rail singing national airs, have been read with interest by officers. Praise American Heroism How American soldiers behaved when they found that the boats assigned to them on the Tuscania had been smashed' in told by an American official who landed at an Irish port. The officer said that his men behaved as he had expected them to. Two full j boat loads under his command assembled on the deck when the torpedo struck the liner and marched to the boats assigned them. Arriving at their
station they found that both boats had been destroyed. "The men lined up on deck at attention," said the officer, "and all preserved the utmost composure until a destroyer came alongside and effected the transfer from the gradually sinking deck. - "We stood alongside until the last man was taken off, who as might be expected, was the,, commander of the ship. The patients In the ship's hospital. Including several cases of scarletina and fever, were among the first taken off." Confuse Captain's Name The captain of the Tuscania was Peter McLean, not J. L. Henderson, the Times says. Captain McLean last month was awarded the Order of the British Empire on the recommendation of the board of trade. He has
been in the service of the Anchor Line!
for twenty years and during the war! has carried many cagoes cf munitions!
and foodstuffs safely through the danger zone. An official statement issued
In London early Thursday afternoon!
said that Captain J. L. Henderson was in command of the Tuscania.

"Third Persons depending on crib

"Fourth Fair seed can be gotten
from poor corn by a careful ear test.
"Let me say in conclusion, there
are many such stories and results as
this and the only way we can feel sure of a fair stand of corn this year is to go to the" very bottom, of this seed corn situation at once and ; test every 'ear and. find out where we stand W, R. ZECHIEL." ; Situation Very Serious LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 8. Judging from reports received at Purdue University from all over the state, the seed stocks and labor survey being made this week reveals that the Indiana seed - corn situation Is much more serious than was first thought by men in charge of the work. Every farmer is vitally concerned In the seed
outlook and keenest interest is being shown in the work now underway. . In Shelby county generally conceded to be one of the best corn growing areas in the state, two men out of eleven in one community- the first In the state to report had seed corn. Several of the remaining nine thought they bad corn but examination of their seed showed it was "dead." These men will have o buy their own seed. Another report from Grant county stated that out of 28 men at a farmers' meeting, fourteen had no seed while fourteen others said they had only enough for themselves but were not sure whether it would grow as no

came from many sections of the state but the. reports generally Indicate that southern Indiana counties are better supplied with seed than those in the north as early maturing . varieties of small type corn were planted In the hilly sections.

as seed this year. , . s
