THIRTEEN TEAMS

WILL PLAY IN BASKET TOURNEY

More Teams May Enter Tourney, to Be Held March 8 and 9.

With only on more game remaining on the Richmond high school basketball schedule, basketball fans are turning their eyes to the probable results of the district basketball tournament which will be held at the Coliseum, March 8 and 9. The dope bucket was somewhat upset last week when Rtchmond met de

feat at the hands of the Rushville five and then went to Shortridge and registered a defeat against that team. Shortridge in turn upsetting all calculations as to how strong the Rushville basketball five was by defeating It. However, basketball fans will get to see both teams In action here March 1 when the Rushville basketball five plays the Richmond basketball quintet in the last game on the high school schedule. Twelve to fourteen basketball teams will compete in the coming tournaraen there. Information has been received that the following teams will play here in the tournament. The high schools represented are as follows: Fayette county, one, Connersvllle; Franklin county, one, Brookvllle: Randolph county, three, Winchester, Union City and Lynn; Rush

county, three. Rushville, Carthage and

Milroy: Union county, one. Liberty;

Wayne county, four. Fountain City,

Cambridge City, Hagerstown and Rich mond.

All members of the Richmond high school basketball team were out to rract ice with the exception of Van

Allen.

The team, however, will be ready

for the game with Rushville. Friday.

March 1. The game scheduled witn

Shortridge here Friday night will prob

ably not be played as it is probable

that that team will cancel the game

After fruitless efforts to get a large boxing instructor at one of the army

niece of cnane out or rresiaeni dssw amy

of the Phillies who sold him to the Cubs, Grover Alexander has picked up a new idea, He's going to try to get the money out of Charley Weeghman. Grover found that Baker couldn't be bluffed or wheedled, so now He will try his luck with the Cub owner and he may have a better change there at that. Weeghman still has money to burn. It is generally admitted, and Grover might be able to nick him for a bit of it. Most of the National league magnates are urging Weeghman to ignore Alex's pleas or threats, but one

Individual and Double Teams Hold Board at Cincy Bowling Tourney CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 19. Cincinnati Individual and double teams held exclusive use of the sixteen alleys at the armory here in the second day's rolling of the American Bowling Congress. Few high scores were made during the afternoon shifts, although some of the double teams appear to have a chance for low money. In the singles bowling the highest three-game 6coro rolled up was 62S, made by R. Michaelson. A Hilton was close to him with 60. while P. Dean was third with 560. The newness of

the alleys and pins had something to do with the manner in which the pins

refused to fall, in the opinion of ob

servers. These three high individual

6cores were made In the first shift. The first squad of doubles established a high mark of 1.085, made by Rotbaas and Thomas, but this mark was topped by three other teams in the second shift, the high score for the afternoon's bowling In doubles being 4 1.174, made by Hoffeld and Geistin. Frey and Kanipel were next with 1,118, while third high team was Wellman and Warken, with 1.101. None of tnese scores probably will stand long. Not until Tuesday evening will any out-of-town bowlers get into action, the Neuberth Colt of Newark. N. J., and Cabanne Five. St Louis, being scheduled to roll in the first night shift. The individual bowlers in the second shift, late in the day, faUed to top the high score of 62S, made by R. Michael-ton.

hears that Charles'ls disposed to weaken and come through. Alexander wants ten thousand of the purchase money or a ten thousand dollar bopus in addition to his salary of $12,000. Whether he gets it or not it's a cinch his chapces are better with Weeghman than with Baker. With the International . league apparently down and out, the Baltimore, Newark and Toronto clubs will remain Intact for the purpose of playing Sunday exhibition games at home with National and American league clubs. But the players who will wear Baltimore, Newark and Toronto uniforms probably wjll have to work on a cooperative basis with their employers. These fellows can consider themselves extremely fortunate in view of the fact that the players of the other International league team will be thrown out of employment.

Since Mike O'Dowd won the middleweight championship by flattening Al McCoy last November, the new title holder has not defended his honors in the ring. But O'Dowd finally has arranged a match and he has picked out Harry Greb, the toughest middleweight now performing.

Manager Stallings of the Braves expects John Murray, the young collegian pitcher, to develop into a star. Bruce Hitt has been released by the Cardinals to the Little Rock club of the Southern association. Evidently as a pitcher he failed to live up to bis name. The White Sox have signed a southpaw named John Constantineau. If he stays in the big leagues the printers will have to rename him in order to fit the bos scores. Connie Mack, it is believed, has secured a star shortstop In Morris Shannon, who was with the Baltlmores last year. Shannon and his twin brother were tried by the Boston Braves several years ago, but Stallings turned them adrift Morris Shannon made rapid progress under Jack Dunn, who strongly recommended him to the veteran manager of the Athletics. Dunn predicts that within a year this twenty-year-old colt will be one of the best shortstops in the American league. Manager Walter McCredie of the Salt Lake club of the Pacific Coast

league is after several players that will be given tryouts with American league clubs this spring.

Jack Dunn of the Orioles thinks Stallings made a mistake when he turned back Shortstop Red Shannon to Baltimore. Dunn believes Shannon is a comer. The player is now with the Athletics. Now that Alexander has succeeded in getting his bonus from the Cubs. Bill Killefer, his battery mater, is a holdout. Weeghman is having his own troubles with the former Philly stars.

If the children of Wayne county

have their way, the war is going to

be won by buying Thrift stamps, according to their sentiment as express

ed in limericks. They are fond of

saying the "meanest" sort of things

about the kaiser and each and every

one hopes for his speedy downfall. Today's four best limericks are:

Uncle Sam's boys have gone over to

conquer the murderous Huns,

And it's up to each American kiddie to

stop their chewing gum,

And save their nickels and pennies

and then a Thrift Stamp buy;

It wouldn't be long till the kaiser

would be eating "humble pie." Maxine Campbell, 74 South Sixteenth street. I like a patriotic boy Who says: "Dear Uncle Sam For you I'M buy a Thrift Stamp, For I'm your little man." And when our soldier boys come home, And old kaiser Bill is sore. Then Uncle Sam may say, "My boy, You helped to win the war." Billy Doney Scott, Cambridge City. Every little Thrift Stamp has a value of its own. For all the little Thrift Stamps constitute the loan That will help to lick the kaiser, And bring our Sammies home. Helen Sackman. To help the U. S. A., Invest in a Thrift Stamp today; To comfort the Sammies in the trench; Also the British and the French. Donald Semler, Box 37, R. R. A.

EARLHAM TEAM LOSES PLAYER

A slump in the stock of the White and yellow basketball stock came Monday night when it was officially announced that Harold Brown, the veteran forward of the basketball squad, had resigned to accept a position as physical director at Auborn, Ind. "Brownie" was one of the best forwards Earlham boasted of and could always be depended on to hold up his end of the game at all times. . The remainder of the Earlham 'Vets" are in good shape, however, and will complete the schedule in high order it is believed.

BRIEFS

Continued From Page One. appear to have the conviction they will be able to break through, by means of their "secret attacks." Gen. von Hunier who is reputed to have laid the plans for the capture of Riga, has come to the western front to assist In the preparation. The lessons of the capture of Riga have been preached religiously to the German troops. It has been pointed out that there will be preliminary bombardment of four or five hours to cut the enemy wire and demolish defenses being sufficient to give the Germans a firm footing in the Russian positions. The enemy troops have not been told, however that the morale of the Russians at Riga was very low and that the German attack was a complete surprise. Keyed to High Pitch. The Germans will find the allied morale at the highest pitch on the western front and their attack will be far from the surprise desired. The al

lies are ready for a big blow and await with assurance the next move of the German high command. The German attack cannot be delayed much longer. All information ppints to the fact that both German civilians and soldiers are keyed up to such a pitch of nervous expectancy that the strain cannot endure for long. They are waiting for the attack with feverish hope that the high command can this time make good its promise. The German troops are expected to fight well. The coming battles will perhaps be the most s&nguinary of the war and they will be the most intense yet seen. But they will mark the beginning of the end, for If the Germans do not break clear through the allied line

and they cannot they virtually will be finished. The emperor is putting

every ounce of strength into this great gamble and if it falls in the early stages it means the end of Prussian militarism. The allied forces have a superiority in numbers, both in men and guns and no doubt is felt on this front as to the outcome.
