CENTRAL LEAGUE FUTURE WILL BE DECIDEDJAN. 29
- insinuate; ut i ussiutg kpw i ' terest Next Year Biggest Problem Before League. The future of the Central League and to a certain degree of the old Three-Eye league will be decided at a meeting of minor league moguls to to be held at the Hotel Severin In Indianapolis Wednesday morning when representatives of baseball clubs of these circuits assemble at 9 o'clock. The call for the meeting was sent out by President I. C. Ryan of the rejuvenated Peoria club, which was the result of a Fans' Organization called Into being in that city last week. The
Indianapolis meeting will be of great importance to minor league cities in Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Michigan, as the future of organized baseball in these cities will be shaped by the decision of the owners of the franchises that are represented. Cities that propably will be represented are Peoria, Bloomlngton, Rock Island and possibly Springfield, all in Illinois; Richmond, Terre Haute, Evansville, and possibly South Bend and Fort Wayne, all in Indiana ; Springfield and Dayton, Ohio; Muskegon and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Calls have been sent to all the clubs of the old Central and Three-Eye leagues, and to a number of cities in Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and Michigan, that have shown interest in getting minor league baseball for the 1919 sor son. , The greatest question before the
irancnise owners now is an estimate of the interest that fans will take In
the sport this season, and an appraisal cf this factor will be the determining one In deciding the future of the league, it is believed here. Some moguls fear that not enough young men have returned from military service and that such a large number have been unable to re-establish them in business and Industry so far, that attendance and interest, which are intimately related to the economic status of these young men, will not be great enough to warrant a resumption of organized baseball in the small cities in 1919. Others, according to Information received here, argue that the Interest of young men In baseball and sports generally has been stimulated to such a degree by army life that minor leagues will have no trouble in attracting crowds to the games. Almost all the moguls are anxious for a cotrpact league to cut down traveling expenses, which in the past have cut large slices in the earnings. This problem will be met very easily, as the number of cities that have shown an interest In the new league is large enough to enable the promoters to choose their territory advantageously. Peoria, Richmond, Terre Haute, in Indiana; Grand Rapids, Mich., and Peoria and Bloomlngton. In Illinois.
seem to be ready to go ahead with
the new league. There is some doubt about Dayton and Springfield, Ohio; Muskegon. Mich.; South Bend and Ft. Wayne. Ind.; and Rock Island and Moline. 111. Springfield, III., it is said, is anxious to affiliate with the new league. The situation in Ohio is still problematical. Dispatches from Springfield, where the Chamber of Commerce is active in promoting an Ohio league, said that a meeting of representatives from eight cities was to be
held at Mansfield this week. Tha following cities have been ask
ed to send representatives: Dayton, Springfield, Lima, Canton, Mansfield, Yourigstown and Zanesville. Dayton and Springfield seem Inclined to let their franchise rights in the Central lapse in favor of the new Ohio league
of minor clubs.
President Marsh, of the Muskegon (Mich.) Club, has let it be known, that .he will not back a club in that city this year. Muskegon formerly was a
strong Central league city. Efforts

can state league, composed of Kala
mazoo, Jackson, Lansing, Flint, Camp
Custer and Battle Creek. No sentiment has developed in fav
or of any one man for the presidency of the new Central. President Ryan, of the Peoria club, who has called the Indianapolis meeting, is taking an active interest in the formation of the circuit, and may land the job on that
account. It was reported here that he was In Chicago, Saturday and Sunday, obtaining data for presentation a? the
Indianapolis meeting.
Al Tearney, president of the ThreeEye league, active in the Interests of
the minor leagues. Is also mentioned. He formerly was president of the Three-Eye league and Is regarded by club owners as an aggressive leader who may put ney life into the organization that may develope at Indianap'Harry W. Stahlhefer, of Evansville, former president of the Central, who announced bis retirement from baseball a few weeks ago, is taking little interest in the formation of the new league, and probably will be overlooked in the election. ,
$ 1 00,000 Offer Lures Jess Willard Back to Prize Ring 4 N" 'Iks J7 .' : ' v '
CHICAGO, Jan. 27. By far the biggest bit of fight news in the last few years is the word recently announced that Jess Willard. heavyweight champion of the world, has accepted an offer of $100,000 for a championship battle next summer. Tex Rickard, famous fight promoter, made the offer. Willard is to get that amount, win, lose or draw. It is the biggest purse in the history- of the game. The fight will be held in the open air, probably July Fourth, Rickard says. With Willard ready for action in the
ring, the next important question, is who will be his onoonent? Rickard
Said that either Georges Carpentier of
France, European champion, or Jack Dempsey, who has been clambering for a match with the champion, would be Willard's foe In July. The promoter reserved the right to wait until March 25 before naming Willard's opponent. The place will be named sixty days before the date of battle. Rickard also Is to name the referee. Under the terms of the agreement signed recently, Willard agrees to de
posit $10,000 with a Chicago bank at once. This sum shall be forfeited to Rickard if Wilard fails to carry out his promise to fight. The promoter also agrees to deposit in Chicago today the sum of $10,000, then sixty days before the date of the contest another $15,000, and $75,000 forty-eight hours before the bout is held. If Rickard fails to make the second deposit of $15,000, he agrees to forfeit to Willar4 the first $10,000 deposited, and if he fails to post the $75,000 as agreed, he is to forfeit the $25,000 to the titleholder. Willard also agreed not to engage in any other contest prior to the time of meeting the man selected by Rickard.
Single G, Wxiyne County Pacer; is Going After Racing Honors Again
CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Jan. 27. Single G-, the sensational Wayne county pacer, will again go after records in 1919. Horsemen are still discussin gthe great race at Toledo, Ohio, when Miss Harris M (1:58) was defeated by the Hoosier "bearcat" Single G, owned by William B. Barefoot, of Cambridge City, and driven by Mr. Ed F. Geers, who marked the son of Anderson Wilkes (2:22) in 1:59 in the same race. Never before in the history of the turf were bo many fast record pacers seen in one race as were witnessed at Toledo. The above race is the world's record for three heats (divided) in a race, and the first and only time in hiBtory that three successive heats were paced in two minutes or better, the time averaging 1:59 1-6. Single G (1:59), Mr. Barefoot's wonderful racing machine, is known by the followers of the turf as the Racing King, very naturally he should be styled such, when a resume of his turf performances is taken into consideration. Single G's first trainer was the young Cambridge City horseman, Howard Vickery. his next trainer being the late Curtis Gosnell, of the same city; then the horse went to the Pennsylvania trainer, Fred Jamiwho had a lot to do with the horse's wonderful success on the turf. Mr. Jamison died very suddenly at the

Hendricks May Be Made Manager of 1919 Indians LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Jan. 27. J. C. McGill, who is here visiting his father-in-law, intimate that Jack Hendricks would likely be the manager of the 1919 Indians, since the 1918 Cardinal boss has relinquished all claims to his job at St. Louis. McGill was much surprised that Hendricks failed to make a fight for his place at St. Louis and also said that he had no agreement with Hendricks whereby he was to come to the Indianapolis club in the event he gave up his place at St. Louis.

KHAKI TEAM WINS FROM SAILORS
Wearers of the khaki returned from service were winners at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night over the returned
"tars" in a fast, well played game of basketball, to the tune of 18-6. The game was staged as part of the program arranged for returned soldiers and sailors at the Y. M. C. A. The army had it all over the navy from the start. The army team bad almost fifty men to pick from while the navy only had seven. Simmons, the old high school player, was on the army team and Lieutenant Harold Taggart consented to surrender his dignity as an officer and play with the "buck privates." "Tag" was an old Earlham player and also played the game for a time at the University of California. "Ernie" Porter, another high school player was supposed to be the main point getter for the "boys in blue," but the army had him so closely guarded that he could not get a great number of points. In the first half the army made points almost all the time but in the second period the navy fought on the defensive and prevented the army from getting more than four points.

Three Counties Furnish State Basketball Champs INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 27. High school basket-ball enthusiasts in the state are pointing t the victorious records of schools in Boone, Montgomery and Tippecanoe counties in the former annual state high school basket-ball championships in making their predictions on the out come of the tournament which will be played off early next spring for the state honors. In the last eight years In which Indiana high school have been holding organized basKet-ball tournaments, the winners of the finals have always been schools in these three counties. Some followers of the game are predicting that the old order of things will be changed in the 1919 contests. The champions of former years 1911 Crawfordsville. 1912 Lebanon. 1913 Wingate. 1914 Wingate. . 1915 Thorntown. 1916 Lafayette. . 1917 Lebanon. 1918 Lebanon. The Lebanon team won the championship three times and the cup is now held there.
Once more victorious, this time over the Indiana Dental college, by s score of 25-22, the Earlham basketball players are now ready to fight until the last whistle to defeat Wabash here next Friday night Saturday night Earlham went to Indianapolis and defeated the Dentists In what was probably the easiest game of the season. After going through the Botler game on Friday night it did not look as If Earlham could play another winning game on Saturday, but the team came off victorious even with Meeks absent from the lineup. All the Earlham players were in top form and the main point getters for the Quakers were: Lawler, Carey and Hall with Lawler who made seven foal shots out of eight, slightly In the lead. On the defensive Raiford. who has taken Meeks' in the Earlham lineup while he is sick, played a fine game as floor guard. 4 f Sibblt and McCormack were probably the bright lights for the Dental team. "You have the best basketball team I have seen in action this year," referee Maloney, former coach at Purdue, said to Coach Mowe after the game Saturday night This victory puts Earlham right at the top of the I. C. A. L. championship list as the Quakers have defeated Rose Poly, Hanover, Dentals, Butler, and they also have the dope on Wabash and Franklin. Napoleon I had a son by his second wife, born in 1811, who was christened King of Rome, but was created Duke of Reichstadt in 1818 by his maternal grandfather.
