EARLHAM QUINTET WORKS HARD TO GRAB BUNTING
Team Has Six More Games to Play, Two on Richmond Floor.
The Earlham basketball squad Is practicing steadily to hold the grip that It has gained on the I. C. A. L. muslin. Coach Mow would be- "up against
it" if It had not been for the abund-J
ance of basketball material that reported for practice this year. With nrown and Pitts out of the game, Lawler and Carrey may have a regular berth on the Earlham five. Lawler is one of the fastest forwards playing on a basketball floor this year and can play circles around any man fn the strfte it is believed. All the men now playing are reporting for practice regularly and grinding bard for the windup of the Earlham basketball schedule. Coach Mowe called an extra night rractice Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock. The men now reporting for practice, who will play on the regular team is, Pontius, captain; Jessup and Lawler, forwards; Kd wards and Carrey, centers; Meeks and Johnson, guards. The I. C. A.

Jack Hendricks, Cardinals' boss, Is another who has a bone to pick with Charley Weeghman. Hendricks admits he is good and sore at Weeghman and that he wants Weeghman to lay oft tampering with his players. Weeghman's extravagant efforts to land Hornsby have done the latter lots more harm than good. That's what Hendricks is peeved about. He says that if Weeghman has Ideas of the sort he might be more quiet about them and not shout at such a high pitch. Several times Hendricks told Weeghman how exceedingly thin his chances were of getting Hornsby and told him in an emphatic way. Weeghman continued to rave about how much he was willing to pay. And so Jack Is all worked up about it.
Byron Houck thinks that he Is worth more money than Phil Ball stipulated in his contract Houck returned the papers to Ball unsigned! Derrill Pratt is the only ffankee who has received a line of publicity
over contract wrangling. The officials of the club evidently do not believe in letting the fans know who the hold
outs are.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Fear blinds the eye and stops the ear, so that the eye does not ppy and the ear does not hear Opportunity as she knocks at the door. Men who risk reap their reward and usually get what they go after; the man who plans usually builds his success as be likes it. Reason is often pronounced good because it will satisfy the riomach; many men think as their stomachs feel. Talking never takes man far on the journey, but doing drives a good gait." Whatever may be your need. a Palladium Want Ad will fill it; Palladium Want Ads never chirk their work.
Marty Mcllale, the former Yankee
pitcher, recently amused the men in training at Camp Devens with stories of his big league life.
If the Pirates are dissatisfied with their salaries this year they will have to blame Manager Hugo Bezdek. Barney Dreyfuss recently made out the players contracts according to his own Ideas of their value, but he also sent a letter to Bezdek advising him to make changes in the salaries of those men who in his opinion were worth more money. Bezdek, therefore, must assume all of the responsibility. It is safe to say that he will agree with Dreyfuss' figures in a majority of instances rather than have friction with the little Pittsburgh magnate. It was rumored some time ago that Bill Sherdell, a pitcher with the Cardinals, had enlisted in the army. Later the twlrler denied the report. Red Ames, the veteran twirler, has signed bis 1918 contract with the Cardinals. The New York State league, the oldest minor circuit, may not take the field next May. Many club owners are selling their best players and the managers are looking for new jobs. Sunday baseball would save the league from going on the rocks. Baltimore fans who have been clamoring for major league baseball will experience a frost this year. The Manumental City will not be represented in any circuit. Jack Dunn, the principal owner of the Orioles, probably w ill sell his players to the highest bidders. He also will have to pay a rental of $7,000 a year for his ball park, which is owned by Edward HanIon. Dunn's eagerness to have Hanlon elected president of the International league in the place of Edward G. Barrow ie one of the amusing Incidents inf the winter season.
Indianapolis Em-Roes and Rochester Qaintet Will Meet Saturday INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20. Followers of basketball in Indianapolis will be given the opportunity to Bee one of the greatest teams in the country next Saturday night when the Rochester Centrals, of Rochester, N. Y., meet the Em-Roes at the Y. M. C. A. . The Centrals were organized in 1902 and in the sixteen years they have been in the' field have won 213 games, lost thirty and tied one. Last year they capped a great season by defeating the famous German Buffaloes for
the world championship. The Germans
defeated the Em-Koea here last winter. Captain Johnny Murphy is said to be one of the greatest basket tossers in the game. He plays center and, if he plays to form, should give Homer Stonebraker, the Em-Roe pivot man, a tussle from start to finish for the ball. It is around him that the champions are built. Friedman and Cohan are the two regular forwards on the team, and have played together since the quintet was organized in 1902. These men have pot lost any of their speed, it Is said, and will keep O. Behrent and whoever plays back guard for the Em-Roes busy throughout the forty minutes of action. The local basketball fans, it is believed, will turn out en masse to see the quintet that wrested the world title from the veteran club. The EmRoes are In excellent condition now for the fray, but Captain Scboeneman will call them out for a number of hard practices this week. Stonebraker and Bacon, who still are in school at
Wabash college, will come from Crawfordsville for the training.

AFTER SOLDIER BASKETBALLERS
Harry Frazee, Jr., fifteen years old, is an enterprising schoolboy. Last spring he wrote to his father, president of the Red Sox, for half a dozen new balls. Frazee, Sr., paid 1.25 each for them and shipped them immediately. Several weeks later he received another urgent request for a second half dozen, which also were 6ent with a letter asking what had been done, with the first batch. BaCk came a reply which rfead: "I sold the
The Y. M. C. A. basketball five, after the crushing defeat that it handed the soldiers of Fort Benjamin Harrison, are planning a schedule of basketball games. Coach Schwan announced Wednesday that he was corresponding with the basketball teams of Camp Sherman and hoped to have a game here soon with the soldiers. This game, he said, probably would be played March 1 or 2. Practice was called for Wednesday night at the "Y." With the addition of Pitts at guard and O'Neal at forward the "Y" presents a formidable basketball team able to go against any team in the state. The men now reporting for practice are E. porter and C. Porter and "Eno" O'Neal, forwards, Parker at center, Pitts, Shelton, Monroe and Hayward, guards. Pitts can play either center or guard, thus strengthening the lineup of the "Y" basketballers ia case of accidents. If Coach Mowe and Captain Pontius will give the "Y" team a return game which it owes them Coach Schwan belieces that the new lineup will trim the White and Yellow basket shooters. The probable schedule of the "Y" basketball team is as follows: March 1 or 2 Camp Sherman, at Richmond. March 6 Falmouth at Richmond. March (any time) Earlham at Richmond.

The Volunteers, one of the oldest bowling organizations in this vicinity, had four clubs entered, while the Hyde Park Country Club had eight teams rolling. On the second shift the Cincinnati hotel men showed what they could do in the bowling game. They occupied the entire set of 16 alleys and whooped things up.

Wheat, Jr., captain-elect of the 1918 football squad, left for his home in Sherman, Tex., prior to entering the service. He has enlisted in the aviation service and expects to be called within the next two weeks. Wheat was the popular choice for the captaincy of the football squad next year because of the playing shown by this speedy quarterback on
the Old Gold teams for the last two years. It Is probable that the election of his successor will be postponed until next falL

"I've got a hearty appetite for three meals every day since I've tried Tanlac and I want to recommend this medicine," said George Tucker, of 934 North Illinois street, Indianapolis, a track repairman.

"I couldn't sleep soundly at night, either, and got very little rest. Of course, as a result, I felt worn out most of the time. "The first bottle of Tanlac helped my stomach. I kept on taking Tanlac, though, until I had taken three bottles in all and now my stomach is in good shape and I've got a hearty appetite for three heals every day. "I sleep fine at night now, too, and the tired feeling I used to have is ali gone." If you are not feeling right get Tanlac today. Don't put it offDelay in health matters is dangerous.
