EARLH AM TAKES FIRST GAME OF SEASON FR0r.1 ROSE POLY BY SCORE OF 34 TO 25
"Boss" Gilbert, former manager of the Richmond Central League baseball club, brought his husky Rose Poly "Tech" basketball team to Richmond yesterday expecting to go back to Terre Haute with Earlham's scalp on Its belt. The final score was 34 to 25 with Earlham at the long end of the score. In the first few minutes of play Reinhard of Rose scored the first field goal of the game and after a minute of play Meeks shot a foul and a field goal, making the score 3-2. After this
Earlham was never headed although
pushed hard all the time.
The Rose Poly players did some rough playing at times. The Earlham team had no personal fouls marked against It until the last half when Meeks and Johnson made two and one
respectively.
In the first half both Earlham and Rose- were charged with a time out and in the second period both took
another rest. Earlham team shows great promise
of developing into a fast, well balanc
ed aggregation before the season Is far advanced and Coach Ray B. Mowe is to be congratulated on the way he has trained his boys in the last week.
Most of the Earlham men arrived last week and after only a week of practice the exhibition of basketball last
night was encouraging. Many of the
plays were a little shaky at times but
this was due mainly to the nervous
feeling that always comes with the
first game of the season.
Hall, last year's all-state floor
guard and a member of the Wabash
"Wonder Five" last year, played for
ward on the Maroon and White team
last night and although be does not
snow promise of developing into an Individual star, he will probably be one of the best forwards in the state
Sport Snap Shots BY JACK KEENE.
As the result of the training received through forced marches by two million young men during the war pedestrianism may be revived as a sport in this country. The army has developed many capable walkers, and some of these may now compete in matches and bring back the interest that once attached to this sport, which at one time had a high standing. There was a sort of revival of walking a few years ago when Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, made his celebrated transcontinental trip, but it died out. It is forty-two years since London -.vltnessed the conclusion of one of the most famous international walking matches, such as were held in the 70s and early 80s. William Howes, one of the greatest pedestrians of the day, was England's choice in the memorable contest, while lan O'Leary represented Ireland and America. Dan had taken part in a number of walking matches on this side of the Atlantic, and there was great disappointment over here when the news came that he had been vanquished by the Britisher in the 300-mile contest. In the 70's the professional walkers were as celebrated as Ty Cobb and Benny Leonard are today. They rolled in money and basked In the limelight of popular adulation. Many of the records set up in those days in England have never been surpassed, and unless professional walking comes into vogue again, probably never will be.
One of the minor leaguers picked
again this year and will fit well into the Earlham machine.

By WM. R. SANBORN. WILLIAMSBURG, lad., Ian. 11. If you were fortunate enough to have done your reading at school In McGuff ey's classic old Fourth Reader, you will recall this sentence: ' "If you ever visit Modena, atop awhile and call at the castle and gaze upon a picture there. 'Tia of a lady in her earliest youth," etc. T ' Of course you remember the story of Genevra a tale which clinga to the memories of millions of people of the older generation, because of its impression upon their youthful ' and
sympathetic minds. Even at this late day I would not care greatly for the friendship of a man who can recall the
tragedy of that story without a sigh
What am I driving at, do you ask? What has this story of the Age of
Chivalry to do with Williamsburg,
lying asleep in the winter sun In 1919?
Not a thing, gentlemen, not a thing,
except that all the men who ever studied (hat old, book belong to the
same lodge and are "Jlners." There
must be a lot of you around Williams
burg, and whenever I happen to come
your way, hungry and tired, it may be, I shall expect you to take me in. The Kelley Hotel. But come to think of it, that story
suggested this sentiment: "If you eyer
visit , Williamsburg stop long enough to gaze upon the ancient Kelley Hotel, and to eat a meal in its aged dining room. It will be worth while." Were those old walls able to tell of what has occurred within during the past sixty-odd years, and of the famous Indianians and others who have shared its hospitality, it would be a tale worth recording for the benefit of this newer generation. The Kelley has
been reopened within a few days. Why
was It closed? Well, Brer. Hoover
came there to board. He sat at the head of - the table and watched the
grains of sugar administered to the
famishing,' also the ounces of bread
that men creaved, and instituted food-
less days. Finally Mrs. Kelley fired Hoover out and closed the house. Then that great distributor of food to starving Europe went his way over the briney deep.
Of course everybody in town met
Mr. Hoover. They know him well everywhere as the "good provider,"
who will never need to advertise for
a wife.
From Hotels to Hogs. From hotels to hogs is a quick and
precipitate descent, but such is life in
Indiana. Ju6t now. John Meredith,
township food mogul, says that to the best of his belief from reports sent In,
there are still six hundred "finished" hogs eating their heads off in Greene township. If that is all that, are left Greene must have marketed a lot of classy pigs last fall. Why, they covered all this township like the dew last summer, to hear some tell It. And this reminds us that Grant Wat kins killed forty-seven head one day this week for various farmers. Mr. Watkins now employs six men at a minimum wage of $3 per day, we are told. He killed over five hundred head of hogs last year, besides a lot of calves and cattle. His plant is known as the Neighborhood Slaughter House, for he does no packing. . Hogs come in from miles around to be changed into meat, lard and sausage during the season. Money is Plentiful. Mr. William A. Lewis, president of the First National bank of Williamsburg, says that right now the deposits are at the peak. They are averaging $155,000 in spite of the many demands for money in the past strenuous financial year. The bank is capitalized at $25,000 and there are thirty-four stockholders of record. It was opened for business in May, 1907. Green township made up Its quota of all the Liberty loans and. with the exception of the Fourth, the bank was not called on to carry a bond. Greene has taken good care of all demands, an dhas gone over the top with all its quotas in brief time. Mr. Lewis' father, Allen Lewis, once sold a single wagon load of produce from the old farm at better than $1,100. The load was hauled to Richmond in an old fashioned high Tennessee farm wagon and consisted of one hundred bushels of clover seed and ten bushels of potatoes. The clover seed brought $11 per bushpl. a record price in that early day, for Will Lewis was then a barefoot boy. Allen Lewis came to this township when but two years old. He lived to the ripe age of 85, passing away, if we can remember correctly in 1805. The Armenian Relief allotment for Green township is $250. It is to be hoped that this will be the last call of this character for sometime. All appreciate, however, that the need is j great and Mr. Lewis says that the I amount will unquestionably be made!
up, so as to maintain the good record the township has made in relation to
all demands for war purposes.
Williamsburg has very fair fire pro
tection. There is a strong volunteer company in town, a pump engine and ;
a numDer ot babcocks. The town has been very lucky as to fires; no losses
of importance having occurred for
sometime.
The Williamsburg Schools. If you were to ask the population
of Williamsburg, frankly, I cannot tell
you, but I judge that there are al
most as many houses as people.
from estimates given from the number of folks who call Williamsburg home. Let us put these at 300 in round num
bers.
There is a commissioned high school
here Mr. Cloyd Emmerson is the
principal, and Miss Helen Groff. as
sistant. The list of teachers includes
Harry Armstrong, Ruth Hiatt, F. O. i
Shelley and Hazel Showalter. Seven
large and well warmed hacks convey
the children to and from school to all ,
parts of the township.
The Williamsburg Poatofflce. The postofflce here is in charge of
Miss E. C. Woolley. who has been postmistress at this point for a number of years. But one rural route runs out of Williamsburg. It is 27 U miles long
and is covered by wagon. Raymond R. Cain is the carrier and serves about 190 patrons, there being 95 mail boxes
on the route and 100 families. Many of the old timers will still re
member Brasilia Reynolds, who built
the Kelley house. None of them, bowever, can give the date. It was well known in the fifties. There it stands, a monument to first-class lumber and old-fashioned honest construction to this day. It was known as the Forest House and was kept by the Reynolds family long after its builder died. Mr. John Meredith owned the property later on and sold it to its present owners, the Kelleys. One might have thought that the advent of the C. and O. railroad in 1901 would have added considerable population to the town. This does not appear to be true,-however, but has been recognized of course as a great convenience and has made Williamsburg more accessible and given it some prominence as a shipping point for grain and live stock. George D. Davis, who resides here, . is one of the most widely known and venturesome hog buyers in all Indiana. He buys at various points throughout this section.
New Paris High Team Defeats Monroe Players New Paris high school first basketball team last night defeated Monroe high school first team ,31-25 and the New Paris hign school second team

Richmond high school played Marlon .
high school in basketball. Marlon last night .was the loser Just as she was five years ago. The final score last night was 34-29, in favor of Richmond. In the first half the Richmond team started to pile up the score on Marion.
but the Richmond boys after the first

back and at one time the score stood
28-26. with about five minutes to play. (
Richmond then called tlmo out and !
after that the Richmond boys came'
back a little faster and made the score 80-26. Marion proved its ability to
"hang on" by again getting within
two of the Richmond score. Richmond then made its final offensive and the game ended. 34-29. The scoring was started by Van Allen in the first few minutes of play, after he had missed a foul shot. Williams did all the foul shooting for the Marion boys, making five out of nine foul goals. The first half ended 19-8 in favor of Richmond.
