EARLIIAN TEAM DOPED TO WIN WABASH GAME
. Secondary Basketball Cham
pionship of State to be Decided at Game Here Friday.
The stage Is set for what promises to be the best game of the Reason on the local floor this year, on Friday night when the Wabash college basketballers come to this city to play the 'Fighting Quakers." Wabash last year had the reputation of the best team in Indiana and this year the Earlham boys with Hall of last year's "wonder five" with them arc developing into ono of the best in the Hoosier state. Probably by Friday Captain 'Speedy' Meeks will be out of the hospital and able to play his old position of floor guard. If bo had been playing in the Hutler game on Friday, thero probably would have been no "blowout" in the last few minutes of play. If he had been in tho game Saturday night against Indiana Dental college team, the score would probably have been a great deal more uneven than It was. Wilh Lawler hitting tho basket next Friday night and Hall playing his usual fast and steady game, the Quakers vl!l have a flne scoring machine ngitlnst Wabash. If Carey plays as he did last Friday night, breaking up play after play by Jumping into tho air and stopping tho ball, the Wabash team should have r hard time getting the ball down the !.trr on long passes. Meeks can be depended on to guard his man all over the floor. Johnson will probably ttop any of the men getting within range of tho basket to make short
nots. He is always steady in hi3 playing and will make a flne backbone for the team Friday against the large Wabash players. , r This game is attracting a great deal of attention all over tho state in basketball circles as the secondary championship of the stato will be decided by this frame. The Karlham men have either defeated everyone else In the I. C. A. L. or made a better showing so that it can he doped out that Earlham is now at the top of the I. C. A. I standing.
Independents Forced to Call Off Tourney The Independent basket-ball championship tourney for 'Wayne county will probably not be held as planned. Several teams were willing to form a league to play games outside. leadIn? up to the final game which was to bo held in Richmond, but when the teams tried to get floors they found that In most of the towns the only place to play was in the high school gymnasium and there Is a rule against any teams but the high school' teams using these gymnasiums, so the independent teams could not schedule any games. Possibly a new plan will be brought up when the representatives of the teams meet here again, but so far It looks as if no independent championship will be decided in Wayne county this year.
V
PLAY RETURN GAME AT MARTINSVILLE
Richmond high school basket-bailers arc all set for the game Friday
! right with Martinsville high at Mar
tinsville. Last Friday night against Rushville, Richmond showed the best class exhibited this year, and if the same form is shown at Martinsville, the game will not be very hard for the Richmond youngsters. In the first few weeks of the season, Richmond high won from Martinsville on the Coliseum floor here, but the test will come riday when the team plays on a strange floor. Probably Van Allen and Stegman will occupy the forward positions. Dolllns the pivot position and Eversman and Price guards.

It developed at tho schedule meeting of tho American Association club owners here today. James C.

department on the matter of discharges for men now serving in France who have a good reason for returning to this country in the immediate future. President John . A. Heydler of the National league believes that little or no difficulty
1 should be experienced In bringing about the Bpeedy return of men like st . 1 J . T I 1 " . .1
utovpt Aiexanuer, nuun. viu.vujr, Christy Mathewson and Clarence Mitchell who are still overseas. The section of the rule which may reasonably be construed to apply to the cases of these men reads as follows: "Any officer or enlisted or drafted man who entered the service since April 1, 1917, and who submits good and sufficient reasons for requesting discharge in Europe may be discharged in Europe, provided that the officer or soldier waives any claim for sea travel allowance. Officers and men of this class shall be paid travel allowance to the port of embarkation and' from Hoboken, N. J., to the place of entrance into the service." Having received an honorablo discharge from the air service mechanic school at St Paul, Minn., recently, Peter de Paolo, a nephew of Ralph de
Palma, the champion automobile driver. Is now taking a short vacation at his home prior to resuming his duties as a mechanic .in connection with his uncle's racing cars. De paolo plans to drive as De Palma's mchanlc in future races. His work in
tho mechanic school has helped him wonderfully In his knowledge of motors and his uncle believes that he will bo the best mechanic on the automobile grand circuit. John de Paolo, another nephew of the great Brooklyn driver, also went into the aviation branch of Uncle Sam's service. Ho is a pilot at Carlstrom Field, Arcadia, Fla. He hopes to be discharged in tho near future. Mrs. Tome Fitzsimmons, widow of the late champion, Bob Fitzsimmons, was married to Philip Reiner, a retail
shoe dealer of Chicago, recently. The former actress, opera singer, evangelist and recent candidate for juvenile court officer in Chicago, said that Mr. Reiner was a former play
mate of her girlhood days in London. "I have not forgotten Bob," she said. "I loved him too much and lived too hapily with him to forget
him. Mr. Reiner is a friend of a long,
lone time."
Mrs. Reiner has just returned from
rervice with the Red Cross in France The couple will live in Chicago.
Postponement of the meeting of the Central league moguls at Indianapolis from Wednesday until next ' Sunday was under consideration today, following a telegram received here by Elmer Eggemeyer from Jack Ryan, president of the Peoria club. ' Ryan asked the Sunday date because of conflicting engagements' in Peoria. Eggeneyer took up the matter with the Dayton owners. The Sunday meeting meets with the approval of the Richmond owners. Dope of all brands and mixtures emanated from the old Central league and Three-Eye league cities today regarding the meeting of minor league moguls tomorrow to determine whether six or eight email Middle West cities are to have organized baseball in' 1919. Richmond "club owners are sitting tight on their original theory that a
compact league, under capable leadership, is the only correct solution, and will go to Indianapolis thoroughly wedded to that belief. " The decision of the Richmond representatives regarding the re-entrance of Richmond into organized baseball will mainly be contingent upon the proposition that President Ryan of the Peoria club presents. They say it is idle to predict today what conclusion they will reach at the meeting.
for next year that can both manage and play. This gives Steve Yerkes a good chance of getting the manager's berth. He played on the Boston Red Sox team a few years ago In the world's series and played second base on the "Indians" last season. Christy Mathewson, manager qf the Cincinnati Reds last year and now a
captain in the United States army in France may come home some day and find that his old job is taken by some
one else.
President August Herrmann of the
Reds said that the team will take a
southern training trip, probably to Shreveport or Little Rock and If no
word is received from Mathewson in
the next ten days that the club owners will have a meeting and decide on
a new manager.
The New York Giant players will
train at Gainesville, Fla., this spring instead of at Marlin, Tex., where the
team has trained for elevent straight
years.. .
The players will leave on March 20

Florida. : Exhibition games will be arranged with the New York Americans anad the Washington Americans.
RUNS AIR SERVICE ACROSS CHANNEL
MARCHES IN REVIEW BEFORE PRESIDENT
His march with the sixty division In parade before President Wilson, General Pershing and President Poincare, is described by Private Thomas LittleJohn in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Harry Littlejohn, and his sister, Mrs, Harry E. Sharpe. ;"The boys certainly had a time with that parade," Littlejohn wrote,, "wading through -mud shoe top deep. Some even fell Into the mud. , They took movies of us so you may see them in Richmond some day. We have had rain and mud a foot deep for two weeks; then yesterday it started to snow, but no frost, so the snow is just over the mud. which makes a lovely combination to manoeuver on. The hills and pine trees about here certainly . look beautiful though, and I hope it gets cold and snows instead of this dreadful French rain. "We are only permitted to write two letters a week, and while, of course, you come first, you can imagine what a time 1 am having to know just where to send that other letter when I owe forty, or more. '."'."I have received a bunch of mail from my old pals and I thank every one of them for keeping me in touch with Richmond, and from being lonesome. A letter over here is worth more than anyone can imagine. When I return I shall try to return the kindness of those who have written. "We signed the pay roll last Friday, and got paid today. Have only had one pay day since I have b,een in France and have been broke for some time, but we have been hiking most of the time and haven't needed money. "I am now back in the personal detachment again, and ; seems almost like coming back home. We have not been assigned special duty yet like we were when on our way to the front. That. hike was a most awful one, I won't tell about it now because it will .keep."
Minor Leagues Pleased
Declares Three-I Head
CHICAGO, Jan. 28 Refusal of
Chairman Herrmann of the National Baseball Commission to sign the new
pact with the minor leagues is no cause for alarm, according to Al R. Tearney, president of the The Three-I league and chairman of the minor league committee which effected the "break" with the majors. "We accepted the word of the major leagues that they would respect our contracts, players and ; territorial rights and their word is good enough
for me," said Cheirman Tearney. "This action of the minor leagues is
a splendid thing. It enables us to protect our clubs by holding most of our good players, and thus assure our patron, better baseball than we could give under the old agreement We will continue to sell players to the majors
j and buy players from them, but we
will sell to whom we pleate and not be compelled to give them up under the optional agreement and draft "Minor league clubs will never be broken up in .mid season by sales or recall of players 'loaned' us by the major leagues. The minor leagues are well satisfied with the new turn of affairs." . Chairman Tearney and his associates will present a new agreement to the commission within a month.

We stayed there until the morning. of Nov. 1. That evening we passed oyer the Hindenburg line. Believe me, the Germans had some forts and dugouts there, but the Americans . finished them.
