" Victory Gives Richmond Men Chance at State Tournament Game is Fast. Richmond high school playing in fine form, out-played Rushville high echool on the Coliseum floor last night In the first basketball game of tho double header and won, 41-21. Despite the score the game was fast from the first whistle to the last. This victory probably means that Richmond will go to LaFayette to rep resent this district in the state tournament in March. On - the offensive VanAUen and Stegman exhibited some fine goal shooting and after a few weeks of hard luck shootlirg in the games, they came back in form and gave Rushville the surprise of its life. Eversman proved his ability as a floor guard by breaking up play after play. He dropped the ball through the net for four field goals. Dolllns played mainly on the defense and did not attempt to score. He played exceptionally well last night and broke up many plays that looked as if they were going to net two points for Rushville. Price played his usual steady game at back guard and the subs that went in the game in the last half looked as If they may develop into fast players before the season is over. Loehr, a new man on the team and a second year man at high school, made hla first appearance on the floor last night in a regular game and
worked in with the team In fine shape. He played floor guard. Trice after playing all this season without making personal foul broke Into the personal foul column sheet last night with three, to his credit.
Morris was put out of the game in the first half because of personal fouls and Caron went out in the second half by the same route.

Gleason is Fourth Member of Orioles To Become Manager of Big League Club
Fountain City-Liberty Game Is Cancelled Liberty high school has canceled the game scheduled to be played tonight a Fountain City, it was announced today, by Coach Beall of the Fountain City team. This game was probably canceled because of the recent ruling at Liber
ty high echool that only one game a
week may be played by the students.
It may be possible to secure another team to play against Fountain City tonight, but the coach is having a hard time to Ind a team on such short notice. v Industrial League Games i ' May Be Cancelled
All the Indoor baseball games in the Industrial League will probably be cancelled, it was announced today. It is found difficult to. get enough men for the teams, according to Physical Director Harding of the T. M. C. A.
Hughie Jennings at left. At right ar
and Wilbert Ro CHICAGO, Jan. 23. William (Kid) Gleason is the fourth member of the Baltimore Orioles who has been appointed a major league manager. They raised 'em right in those days. They had to be raised right to hold their Jobs with that bunch of quick thinkers. The Kid will manage the Chicago Americans in 1919, and he should be the ideal man for the Job. What he does not know about the pastime is not worth knowing. He was raised in a good school and has kept right along learning. The other Orioles who have been managers and they still are on the Job are John J. McGraw, who jumped to the New York Giants from the Baltimore American league club in 1902; Hughey Jennings, who became manager of the Detroit Americans for the season of 1907, and won American league pennants in 1907, 1903, 1909, but lost two world's series to the Chicago Cubs and one to the Pittsburg Pirates, and your Uncle Wilbert Robinson, who became manager of the Brooklyn National league team in 1914 won a pennant in 1916 and will be in our busy midst in 1919. Pitcher, Then Second Baseman.
Kid Gleason is one of the innumerable made-over pitchers. He first came into prominence as a pitcher for Baltimore in 1894, when the old Orioles
of the twelve-club National league won the first of their three straight pennants. He" won twenty-one games that year for a percentage of .714, and what is more, he batted .342. In 1895 we find W. (K.) Gleason second basing for the said Orioles,
fielding .911 and batting .323. There
after he disappeared from the ranks of the Baltimore champions, but not from the game and he has been in it ever since as player or coach. Gleason's last playing was done with the Phillies. He retired at the end of the 1908 season, after having taught the fine points of the second-base job to Otto Knabe. Gleason was one of the first of the now numerous "coaches," who really act as assistant manager and devote special attention to developing j'oung players a trick in which Uncle Wilbert Robinson was invaluable to his old side-partner, John J. McGraw, with the New York Giants. When Old Man Time put the kid out of active competition, Billy Murray was manager of the Phillies. Billy realized that the Kid's brains and pep were too valuable to he dropped out of the league, and he kept the veteran on without specific official title. ' . Turned Down Offer.Later, Gleason went to the Chicago White Sox as utility player and coach, but lost out at the end of the 1914 season. He was offered the job of managing the Brooklyn Federal league team in the winter of 1914-15, but declined. He stated that it was impossible to maintain discipline in that era' of Jumping players, and, besides, the game had grown past him. , He was sort of pessimistically philosophical about himself , and the trend of the times, but felt better when the spring came, and reported to the Chicago Americans as coach. He was

with them when they won the pennant and the World's Series in 1917. McGraw already had a long-term contract with New York to manage for 1919 and ensuing years; Robinson had served four years with Brooklyn, and in December was signed for 1919; Gleason was signed about three weeks ago to manage the White Sox in 1919. and then came word that Hughey Jennings had been definitely signed to manage the Detroit Americans in 1919.
EARLHAM WINS FROM BUTLER
BY TWO POINTS COLLEGE TEAM
Without "Speedy" Meeks . playing the floor guard position last night against Butler at the Coliseum the Earlham team was greatly handicapped and the only thing that saved the Quakers from defeat was the end of the game. The final score was 37-35. Raiford, filled Meek's sh6es, and was after his man at all times, but
the absence of "Speedy" had its af
fect on the playing of the entire team. With about four minutes to play in the last half and with the score standing 37-28 in favor of Earlham the Butler quintet started on what looked like it was going to be a "victory drive"
Garfield Sports
The Boy Scouts' first basketball team defeated the Garfield first team last night at the Garfield gymnasium, 19-17. The game was fast and well played, Harkins starring for the Scouts and Walls being the high point man for Garfield. The Garfield seconds won from the Scout second team, 22-3. Saines and
Calkins made three goals each for Garfield. Taggart scored all three of
the Scouts' points. The'line-up of the teams follow: Scout First Team. Gls. Fls. Pts. Harkins, f 5 2 12 Craig, f 1 0 2 Ball, c 0 0 0 Hiss, g 1 0 2 Wilson, g 1 1 3 Totals 8 3 19 Garfield First Team. ' Gls. Fls. Pts.

Awakening in Old Central League Circuit Follows Call of Meeting
.For Liver Trouble Mrs. H. F. Taylor, Pontiac, Mich. "Since early childhood suffered serious headaches, nervousness, liver trouble. Fourteen years ago took 3 bottles Hull's Superlative. Had only two or three attacks since." Your druggist has Hull's Superlative. Adv.
There has been an . awakening in
the Central league. - ' The old circuit has not died the death many had been predicting, but instead is alive and kicking and a call has been issued for old and new club owners to assemble in Indianapolis next Wednesday. The purpose of the meeting will be to reorganize and five clubs Peoria, Bloomington, Grand Rapids, Richmond and Tere Haute are ready to start things moving. Efforts will be made to bring Springfield and Dayton back into line and if these cities are secured Evansville looks to be a certainty. The Grand Rapids proposition may cause. some little worry, as there is no other city in the northern end to pair with them, unless Muskegon can be interested. Invite Many Cities. But the cities named above will not be the only ones invited to send representatives to the session. It will be the purpose of the moguls to reorganize a compact circuit and they will ask baseball men from Fort Wayne, South Bend, Rockfora, 111., Muskegon, Mich., Rock Island, Moline, Springfield, 111., Danville and Decatur to attend and out of the list of good cities one -extraordinary .circuit Bhpuld result. Bloomington is ready to send representatives to the meeting. It is possible Peoria will send two or three representatives and efforts will be made from this end to have all the Illinois cities mentioned send delegates. Springfield, 111., will be one city the Peoria club wil make special efforts to have represented. Tearney and Stahlhefer. President A. R. Tearney, of the Three-I, and Harry Stahlhefer of the Central may both be in attendance, and while neither will accept the presidency of the new organization, their advice will be valuable and they should lend much assistance in bringing about the merger of the two circuits. The call for the meeting is the first evidence the Central league will be back in the field next season. It has been talked in almost every city since the war closed, but with Tearney and Stahlhefer both retiring from the game a real leader was needed and one of the first acts of the moguls in Indianapolis will be to select a live wire president. President Ryan of the Peoria club may go to Chicago Saturday or Sunday to confer with baseball men there before the Indianapolis meeting; as there are a number of propositions he desires to take up before going into the organization meeting. Proposals for a Michigan State league that would include Grand Rap
ids and Muskegon do not stir great enthusiasism in these two cities. President Marsh of the former Michigan club of the Central Ipaetia nairl that
he wanted no more baseball and add
ed that the Muskegon park is for sale. That means, of course, that somebody in Muskegon will have to rally to the cause if the Bplendld park of the Sawdust City is not to be handed over to the real estate men to split up into lots.

He agreed to box any number of rounds up to forty. The match will be decided next July, probably on the Fourth. Willard will receive $100,000 win, lose or draw.

V .We can almost set our watches by the Clydesdale,M said a traffic manager the other day. ' ' "We operate four trucks. One of them is a Clydesdale. They are scheduled to arrive back at the plant at 5:30. Some of them straggle in anywhere from 5:30 to 6:30. But, the Clydesdale shows up night after night about 5:20.
"It hasn't been late since we put her into service. The driver says the Clydesdale controller helps to make time through traffic, accelerates quickly, takes care of the motor speed and leaves him free to steer and watch the road. "And he don't have to stop on the road to tinker with the truck. It just keeps on working day after day." This is typical Clydesdale Serviceservice that is the logical result of designing a truck with every part and feature about it, having a large factor of extra strength more than it will require even in the hardest service. Clydesdale parts are never strained to the limit of their
endurance. Consequently nothing short of a serious accident can put them "out of business." " It is our business to see that you get this kind of Service from your Clydesdale. We have the men and equipment to even take care of a serious accident We keep your truck working there is no "overtime" with Clydesdale. The service records of Clydesdale Trucks in this city will give you an idea of what they are doing for other business houses. Undoubtedly they will show you what you can do with Clydesdale in your business. Phone or call:
