EARLHAM PLAYS . BUTLER FRIDAY

Butler vs. Earlham. Richmond High School vs. Rushvllle. This Is the- program of basket-ball battles that are to be fought on the floor of the Coliseum here Friday night. This will be the second time the Richmond High School boys have met the Rusnvllle basketballers this season. Dece-mbor 27 the Richmondites played Rushvllle on the Rush county floor. Ricnmond lost the game. Some say it was hard luck; some say over confidence and some say the referee was a crook, but at any rate, Richmond lost. Little is known of the strength of the Butler team that is scheduled to meet Earlham as the second game of the double bill. Earlham so far this Hcason has made a fine showing on the backet-ball floor, but thia is too early in the season to predict anything. However, the fact remains that the Earlham team has won two games, one from Rose Poly and one from Hanover. The probable lineup for the games Friday night will be, for Richmond, Van Allen and Stcgman, forwards; Dollins, center; Price and Eversman, guards. For Earlham, Hall and Lawler, forwards; Carey, center; Meeks and Johnson, guards.

Trotrky will not send a delegation to the peace conference. Probably he doesn't care for any. Germany caused the original shortage of food. Shortages come home to roost.

COOMBS HAS TOUGH JOB AHEAD TO GAIN A FOOTHOLD IN PHILLY

Jack Coombs. Pat Moran's successor as manager of the Phillies, will have to travel over a hard road before he gains the Quaker City fans' patronage at the old Huntington avenue grounds. Few

,rt..

Jack Coombs.

the club's owner.

men have taken up the managerial reins under the handicap that the former Robin, has.

The sudden release of Pat Moran was more than the most pessimistic N a t i onal league fan had expected and it now becomes one of Coombs's d u t ies to make the National league rooters in the city forget the actions of The only way to do

this is to win ball games with a fair degree of consistency. Coombs enters the Quaker City with the Anvil Chorus batting well above the .300 mark. The Philadelphia fans have declared themselves against the William Baker regime, but after the season opens and Coombs has the Phillies up in the race It is a 6afe bet that those who are now swinging the hammers will flock to the- National league park wearning broad smiles. . Hurling Staff Weak. Before this comes to pass Manager Coombs will have to do considerable rebuilding. There is room for improvement in the hurling department. Coombs will not find anyone who resembles an. Alexander when he looks the pitchers over. Mule Watson, Oeschger, Jacobs and Rixey appear to be the best of the staff. Rixey is now in the service and it is doubtful if he will be available before the season gets under way. In Eddie Burns and Jack Adams the new manager has two good catchers and it is not likely that there will be a change in this department. Adams succeeded Killefer as the mainstay behind the plate when

Bill went to Chicago with Alexander. As the club's first-string catcher Adams did well. ' - Luderus Slowing Up. Fred Luderns, the first baseman, has displayed signs of slowing up, but his ability as a hitter Is in his favor. There have been rumors around that the veteran will be traded before the season opens.- Last season McGaffigan and Pearce looked after the middle bag. Both are youngsters Just breaking into fast company and have yet to prove their worth.' McGafflgan was called to the colors early last summer, but while he was working around the middle bag he showed a great deal of promise. He has not yet been mustered out of the army. Dave Bancroft at short and Milton Stock at third can be counted upon to take care of the left side of the infield in their well known efficient manner. In the outfield Coombs has Irish Meusel. George Whitted, Cactus Cravath and Cy Williams. Whitted and Cravath will occupy outfield berths again, but the others may be et out. Williams did not show an improvement over his form displayed as a Cub, while Meusel is regarded as only a mediocre player. He is not over fast nn Iho hasps nnr! his thrnwlnc Is

" T" a trifle weak.

LIBERTY HIGH TO MEET FOUNTAIN CITY PLAYERS

Liberty high school will play Fountain City high school on Jan. 25 at Fountain City. The game promises to be one of the best seen in the county this year among the smaller schools. Last year In the sectional tournament here the Fountain City boys kicked over the dope bucket and defeated Liberty in their second game. This defeat still has a sting for the Liberty boys and they are going to Fountain City with the idea of getting revenge. Last Saturday night Fountain City won from New Lisbon 39 to 28 at Fountain. Thomas was the high point man for Fountain, making eight field goals. Reynolds made four field goals and one foul shot and Hatfield made seven goals. Another game has been scheduled with New Lisbon for Jan. 22 at New Lisbon. ' The line-up for the New Lisbon and Liberty games will probably be, Reynolds and Thomas, forward; Hatfield, center; Huff and Thorton, guard; Keene and Hampton sub forward and guard. The complete schedule is as follows: Jan. 22 New Lisbon, there Jan. 25 Liberty, here. Jan. 29 Whitewater, here. Feb. 1 Farmland, here. Feb. 8 Liberty, there. Feb. 14 Farmland, there. Feb. 19 Mooreland, here. Feb. 28 Cambridge City, there. "

MURRETTE. "What on earth can this, be short skirt? a belt? a hood?" Theda Bara was troubled as she asked her maid these questions in quick succession. In her hand she held a flaring piece of silk that fell out of the tissue paper wrappings with one of the gowns she had ordered from Paris for her new super-produc-.tion "The Light." She could not guess for what part. of her gown this. silken attachment was intended. It looked like a sunbonnet, yet it was not a sunbonnet. It might have ben a belt, but Miss Bara did not feel like pinching her waistline to fit its wasp-like proportions.. Perhaps it was a huge cuff! But no, it could not be a cuff, for in that case there should have been another flaring bit -of silk just like it. One needs two cuffs for a dress; Miss Bara wears this remarkable afternoon costume in one of the scenes in "The Light," today at the Murrette theater, with this great William Fox star in a new and startling Impressive role. MURRAY. Mary Mac Laren, whom critics are pleased to call the "American Beauty of the Screen," displays her rare versatility in "Vanity Pool," her latest Universal Special Production, which comes to the Murray theater today only. She plays the part of a maid of the tenements brought into high society, an entirely different sort of role from those she has previously assumed. In "The Model's Confession" she was seen as a Fifth Avenue mannlkin; in "Bread" she was a country gril who comes to the city to become an ac

tress; but in "Vanity Pool" she ig a'

child of the poor who awaist the coming of her Prince Charming, only to find that he has cloven hoofs and a wife all his own. "Vanity Pool" was produced by Ida May Park, Universale clever woman director, from Nalbro Bartley's wellknown magazine story of the same name, and has been made into a realistic, vivid screen painting of life as it really is. The life of the artist in Paris ha3 proved a fruitful field for the playwrights In search of inspiration and there Lou Tellegen who really lived the life, found the material for the story of "Blind Youth," in which he will appear at the Murray Wednesday. In the first act Mr. Tellegen has reproduced as nearly as he can remember It, In detail, the garret in which he lived whilo he was a student of the classic art with the great sculptor Rodin. "Blind Youth" is the first play

Mr. Tellegen has produced under his own management and he will bring a second to production at the close of the present tour.

Friendly Enemies" Is Convincing War Play

"Friendly Enemies" which showed at the Murray theatre last night, is one war play which does not lose its effectiveness by the fact that the war

is over. 'Neutral, that's what we want, neutral," says Karl Pfeif f er, who, German-born, dreams that Germany is still the mild pleasant country that he left it. He quarrels with, his best friend, also German-American, but- whose affections and loyalty are now all with America. And he is horror-stricken when he learns that his only son has joined the American army and is going to be sent across to fight the Germans. He refuses to believe the stories of German atrocities. "Lies, lies," he denounces the stories of the invasion of Belgium, "do you think my brother and my sister's sons would do that." Ond then comes the news that the ship on which his son sailed for France has been sunk by a German spy, and he finds' that money which he thought was to be used to bring about peace has been used by Germans to carry out their atrocities. He realizes that, the Germany he knew Is not the Germany of Wilhelm the second, and he falls into his friend's arms shrieking, "Huns, That's what they are, Huns." Harry Lester Mason as Karl Pfelffer, and Dave Lewis as his friend Henry Block, interpret the leading roles with intelligence and sympathy. Pfeiffer as a irascible old man who loves his wife but permits her to have no opinions of her own, and who can control his temper as long as someone does not "make him mad," creates an enduring character. Lewis is a clever comedian, but is not convincing in his emotional movements. Ferlke Boros is excellent in her interpretation of a typical German haus frau.
