GALL GAMES OFF

Doubtful Whether Team Will Relay Fort Wayne and Huntington This Week. All members of the Richmond "HI" basketball team were out for practice Monday afternoon. ItSbinson. whom, Coach Mullins said, was under the weather as a result of the hard battle with Shortridge, was not out. Simmons and Graffls were not able to practice. They suffered greatly from indigestion, which the coach

thinks was caused from water, van Allen, Harding and Gardiner have not vet fully recovered from their injuries received last week. Coach Mullins eaid that it is an uncertainty whether the team will be in a condition to meet Ft. Wayne, at Ft. Wavne, Friday night, or Huntington, at Huntington, Saturday night. Should the condition of the team not become more favorable, it i3 possible that these games may be canceled. The team, reported for practice Tuesday afternoon. ONE MORE SIGNS FOR "BIG LEAGUE"

DETROIT, Feb. 12 Two more members of the Detroit Americans have sinned their contracts and another of Manager Jennings' recruits has quit baseball to serve his country. Unle Bush, shortstop and Bill James, the bit; right hand twirler, came to Detroit from their homes in Indianapolis and Ann Arbor respectively, and attached their signatures to the 1918 papers. Each player said he was well satisfied with his salary and this fact hos caused super-keen students of baseball to believe that neither man sustained much of a cut in pay. It is doubtful if Bush has his salary reduced at all as he had a remarkable season in 1917. He hit about 30 points above his normal speed and fiolded like a grey ghost. With the signing of James, it became known that he made two attempts this winter to join the army while on the Pacific coast. He was rejected because of defective eyesight. James Is eligible for the selective draft and may be called for military service before the baseball season opens. George Maisel, brother of Fritz, has been drafted in Maryland. Maisel is the property of the Detroit club and as an outfielder and hitter made a fine record last season with the San Franclxco team.

SCHULTE ABOUT TO GO, TOO

Charley Navin Gathers Pennies by the Quart DETROIT, Feb. 12. There 13 one

prominent hoarder in Detroit, who doesn't care who knows it. His name is Charles Navin and his father, Frank, owns the Detroit baseball club. Charles is secretary of the team and he is vigorously on the scent of the cent. Ho is collecting pennies by the quart. Secretary Navin has a good reason for his activity. There will be a war tax of eight cents on baseball passes this season and a tax of ten percent on paid admissions. American league magnates suggested to government officials that a tax of 10 cents on passes would be 'all right," but the government ruled that the law says eight cents and eight cents it probably will be. Mr. Navin, like other baseball men, insisted that their only reason for urging a higher tax on passes was to reliev0ongestion at the pass gates. He indignantly denied a rumor that club owners wanted the pass tax boosted to a dollar so that it would be cheaper for a lot of complimentary ticket holders to watch the games from the bleachers. Navin. who is considered a statistical gpnius. has figured out that his ticket sellers on big days will handle as many as 18.000 pennies, 6,000 five-cent pieces and 12,000 dimes. On ordinary days, probably S.000 one cent pieces will

change hands. When the war tax bill became effective. Detroit theatres faced a penny shortage. Most of the theatre men neatly met the situation by boosting their prices to make penny transactions unnecessary. But Navin couldn't do this, go he is filling a spare room or two with the lowly coppers.

The Rhodeslan railways have ordered nine mountain type locomotives from the American Locomotive Company. These locomotives will have 22x24-inch' cylinders, and will be equpped wltU superheaters.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Feb. 12. All of the once famous Cubs, the wonderful machine that Frank Chance built up to win four pennants and two world's championships, have now passed from the big leagues. Frank Schulte, the last of them all, will not be taken with the Phillies on their trip south this spring. Waivers have been asked on him and it is unlikely that the vet will be seen with any oth

er big league tea mthis season. A year ago Evers, Reulbach and Schulte remained to remind the fans of that great team of other days, rated by many critics as the equal of, if not superior to, the Orioles of the late '90. All three were with other clubs than the one which won so much fame through their efforts. At the close of the season Evers was unconditionally released by the Phillies, and a few weeks ago similar announcement was made in regard to Reulbach by the Braves. In a few days Schulte will be a free agent for the first time since he took up professional ball at Syracuse in 1902. One might include Pat Moran in the list of all star Cubs, but the greatness of Kling eclipsed Moran's worth and the present manager of the Phillies did not figure in sixtyfive games in any of his seasons with the pennant winning Cubs. Zimmerman was only a substitute in 1910, the last year the Cubs led the field. Last to Leave Cubs. Schulte not only has outlasted all his old teammates in the National league. He was the last of the old

guard to leave the Chicago club. He remained until after midseason in 1916, being traded on July 29 of that year to the Pirates. Schulte and Bill Fischer went to Pittsburgh in exchange fo Catcher Arthur Wilson. Early last season the Pirates asked for waivers on the veteran and Pat Moran claimed him. He played In seventy games during the 191" season, twentyeight with Pittsburgh and forty-two with the Phillies. Schulte went to the Chicago club in the latter part of the 1904 campaign after three seasons of heavy hitting with the Syracuse club of the New York State league. He fitted in perfectly in the great machine which Frank Salee turned over at the close of the 1905 season and on which Frank Chance put, the finishing touch with two trades. Schulte surely held his own in that all star cast which had Kling behind the bat. Brown, Overall, Pfeister and Reulbach in the box, Chance. Evers. Tinker and Steinfeldt on the bases and Sheckard and Slagle in the outfield. Hofnian later displaced Slagle in the outfield. Long distance hitting was Schulte's forte in his thirteen seasons as a'major leaguer. Only twice did he finish a season in the .300 class, and then by the closest of margins. He batted .301 in 1910 and exactly .300 in 1911. In the latter year he holed out twenty-one home runs, a figure that has been reached by only one other major leaguer in the last sixteen years. Schulte was perhaps the least aggres-
