OPORT Snap Shots KD By JACK KEENE

pringfield Leads the Move

ment for Compact otate Circuit. While cities In Indiana, Ohio, 1111-

bis and Michigan today were Bpecu-

ktlng on the reorganization of tne

entral league in conjunction witn tne hree-Eye league, eight Ohio cities,

wo or wnicn iormeny were in me

entral. were trying to organize an

Ihio league.

ReDlies to letters sent by the

pringfield Chamber of Commerce

rere expected by that body, but oniy no city, Lima, came through with an nthuBlastlc approval of the proposed ompact Ohio league. Richmond as one of the cities that was asked enter the Ohio league, but the lichmond club took no action on the verture. A meeting of Ohio cities Interested 1 the project Is scheduled to be held t Mansfield lato this month. Springleld is boosting the new league. Othr Ohio cities asked to Join are ounKstown. Akron, Canton, Mans-

-leld, Lima. Dayton and Zanesville.

Old Central Members. Dayton and Springfield were for-

her members or tne central ieaguv

he fiasco of the Dayton club In 1917 i still fresh in the memory of Rich-

bond fans who recall what misman-

gement of the team did in that city.

hie location of the park in an almost paccessible part of the city also con-

ributed to the failure of the season.

Springfield has been a good Central

eague town, but the impressions pre-

ails in the other Central and Three-

Sye league cities that if Springfield

hoes not want to. enter the proposed

hew league, no pressure wm db

rought to bear on It. Peoria is taking the lead In the for-

hat ion of the new Central. Peoria Was one of the strong clubs in the hlrl Three-Kye league and fanas of

hat city support a team with venge

ance, sentiment at urana itapias is crystallizing in favor of organized ball but no definite word has been received of the formation of a club there.

It Is not known what South Bend

hnd Fort Wayne will do this year.

iKvansvllle anad Terre Haute seem to be anxious for a league season.

"Ban" Johnson, president of the

American League, seems to think that loom hall nisi vera are better than

any other soldiers in the army of

Uncle Sam. tie is attempting to nave thom raianiiPfl from the armv so that

they may go la training with the teams next spring.

Why should the ball players De treated any better than any other soldiers? There are a great number of other men in the army that would profit by being released next spring instead of being kept in the service until later. It looks as if this special releasing of ball players will cause a bad feeling against them and among the soldiers. Many of the ball players were the last men to go to the army last year

when the government needed men. They held. off as long as they could and now the club owners expect Uncle Sam to let them out first. There are many men in the army who are supporting a family on their small monthly wages of thirty dollars. They should be the first to get out of the army instead of the star ball players who have made a good sum of money off the national gameDave Reese and "Dutch" Thlele,

former members of the Denison college basketball team, which created such sensation in the basketball world a few years ago. will be seen in action Thursday night at Dayton with the Triangles when that team plays the Em Roe team of Indianapolis.

QUAKER TEAM LOSES TV0 OF PLAYERS

Mowe's "Fighting Quakers" will have to fight a great deal harder in the next few weeks man before, for Ivey, one of the promising guards on the team was declared unfit to play hncaiiRn of an athletic heart. . Tits-

worth who has been a member of the

squad tor two years will be rorcea to quit the team at the beginning of thA nernnrt term thtH tsnrlne.

This will knock out Mowe's two

first teams and now he must depend

on five regulars and three subs. All the members of the team are a little

short on endurance and Mowe -is working thm hard in order to overcome this In order to be In fine shape Friday night for Joe. Mulane's Butler team and Saturday night for the In

diana Dental college team. Rnth these eamea nromisa to be

hard ones and it is expected that

Kan nam win nave to ao some nara fighting to come out of these two

games with no defeat on tnelr pres ent unstained record.

The Cleveland American league club will train this spring at New Orleans, according to Manager Fohl. He will take his hurling staff with him to the south before the other players go. The rest of his squad will go later. What has happened to the Richmond Women Bowlers? Last year it was quite a "fa" to be a bowler among the fair sex but the art of swimming seems to have taken hold of the women In this city. Why don't the women take hold of the bowling art again and continue with it? It is one of the best exercises for women in the winter. There are two good alleys in Richmond, one at the Y. M. C. A. and one at Twigg's. . At both of these alleys the women are welcome to come and bowl among the rest. .

Brown and Jessnp Praised for Work on Normal Team Brown and Jessup, former players on the Richmond High School basketball team and Earlham team are now making a reputation for themselves In the basketball world at the Lacrosse, Wisconsin Normal School. A dispatch from that place says: "The celebrated Indiana forwards, Brown and Jessup, together made fitteen baskets during the game with the Y. M. C. A. team. These two men have played basketball together since they put on long trousers, and show the fact by the manner in which they play. Jessup Is one of those hard players who doesn't believe in being too gentle with his opponents. Men who can shoot foul baskets unerringly are generally born and not trained, and Coach Keelor is fortunate in having a natural born foul shooter like Brown, who made all the foul shots by the school and also makes them regularly in practice."
