CENTRAL LEAGUE CIRCUIT

SEEMS TO BE A CERTAINTY

Grand Rapids Renews Interest Boost Three Candi

dates to Head Rejuvenated

Middle West League. FORT WAYNE" WILLING Old Club .Owners and Prospective New Ones Anxious to Get Back Into Game. Reorganization of the Central league with Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and Ohio cities In the circuit seems certain now. Postponement of the meeting until Sunday, it was learned today, was for the purpose of permitting club owners In some of the doubtful cities a chance to sound out sentiment among the fans. Reports from all over the league to

day were optimistic. Grand Rapids, which had been holding aloof, seems overly anxious to get back into the league, and Fort Wayne, where interest semed apathetic, today not only wants to get Into the circuit but also Is boosting for Louis Hellbroner to head the new organization. . After going to considerable trouble t frame a meeting, President Elmer Kggemeyer of the Richmond club has yielded to thT request of President Jack Ryan of the Peoria club to postpone the reorganization meeting planned for Wednesday until Sunday. All Clubs Asked. Messages to representatives In twelve cities in the combined territory of the Three-I and Central were

sent out by Jack Ryan of the Peoria club. This message put the question up to the owners if they want to re- . organize, and asked if they would at

tend a meeting for this purpose In the Indiana city next Sunday. . . ' The league looks more certain every day, and the Peoria club officials were of the opinion today eight clubs ready to start baseball will be present when the meeting is held. There may possibly be ten asking admission. , Here's the circuit which loks best to Peoria right now: Peoria, Bloomlngton, Evansvllle, Terre Haute, Richmond, Fort Wayne, Dayton, Springfield. But .there are a few bumps to smooth over before this'league can be formed. ' Ohio Towns Doubtful In the first place, Dayton and Springfield are flirting with the new Ohio State league. Springfield prefers the Central circuit, and if -Dayton can be

brought back Into baseball these two cities are expected to be saved for this league. And President Ryan of the Peoria club claims to have an ace in the hole which will save the Dayton situation, end if this prediction comes true those two cities are back in line. Then over at Evansville there are a few doubtful ones. The city is needed to pair with Terre Haute, and the owners must be whipped into line before the new circuit is formed. Tho postponement will help things

nujuai i iiemseivrs jusi lime uener and by Sunday it is possible that there will be enough cities ready to start that the league magnates will have little difficulty in assigning franchises. Stahlhefer May Attend. Eggrmeyer's meeting has progressed sn fnr that T nncnip Prnulrlont Uarrv

W. Stahlhefer of Evansville had consented to ome out of his retirement Lint; Jess Willard, Harry has been very bashful about coining out of his shell.. The early Hash of spring weather, perhaps, had its effect on the Evansville man. Anyway. Harry's presence will lend more importance to a meeting. Bert Noblett,' part owner of the Grand Rapids franchise, has been vested with the authority to act as he sees Tit for the club, and Bert is among those baseball persons who are seeing nothing but silver linings these days. He has his own ideas with regard to the 1919 makeup of the league, too. Along with Grand Rapids. Muskegon, Fort Wayne and Richmond, Noblett would include four Illinois cities. Such a circuit could be Improved upon, Bert admits, but right row thi3 appears to be the territory which the Central will cover thl9 season, unless unexpected support is born in other cities which formerly

held franchlsco. Muskegon, of course, ; is still a doubtful quantity, and no j

choico has ben' made of four of six candidates In Illinois. Vandagrift's Idea of It. Carl Vandagrift, president and manager of the Fort Wayne club, has a different Idea of what tho makeup of tho league should be. In a letter he ventures the prediction that "there Is no doubt but what the game is coming back stronger and better than ever." At tho same time the Fort Wayne magnate Is Inclined to be conservative. He doesn't want to take in the world In the effort to enlist live towns, Jt feels that a compact circuit will do better In the long run. Here Is part of the warning that Vandagrift peddles in his letter, which he is sending to all cities that have ben mentioned as possible candidates for franchises: "In none of the proDosed new leagues has the question ,

of mileage received much, attention

With the advance of nearly 60- per

cent in rail rates, sleepers and hotel

expenses, three items must receive

consideration to make a reorganized

Central league's winner. If you will

look at the map you will find that an

ideal circuit might be formed with the

following cities: Grand Rapids, Mua

kegon, South Bend, Fort Wayne,

Springfield, Dayton, Richmond and

Lima. In population, it will compare favorably with any Class B circuit In

the country. It has less mileage and fewer sleeper Jumps than any which

might be formed of former Central

league cities." I Vandagrift's principles are going to

get him a lot of consideration, but it is hardly probable that the cities he names can be included in this year's circuit Springfield, Dayton and Lima

are flirting with an Ohio state league,

It is possible, though, that this cir

cuit will not materialize. Already reports have come from Springfield that the movo launched there for such a circuit Is meeting with little response from I he smaller

cities proposed. Lima and Springfield, however, are ready to get Into a league of some sort, but are believed to be Interested only In un Ohio league. Just who will be the party to guide the new circuit Isn't discernible Just now, AI Tearney, president of tho Three-I league, is an available candidate. His activity at the recent meeting of the minors in New York city which brought tho break with tho majors on the draft proposition, brought him to the fore as one of the three men who occasioned the biggest reform in baseball in many years. Some opposition to Tearney has developed In the Illinois towns interested in the re-organizatlon movement, and Grand Rapids can't see him. Suggests Ryan. Bloomlngton suggests President Ryan of the Peoria cluh. Louis Hellbroner of Ft. Wayne also is mentioned. Jack Ryan is one of the good fellows of baseball who has done much for the sport in Peoria. It is not known whether he would even consent to take the Job if it were offered him. Hellbroner is deeply Interested in the sport and gives much of his time to hi3 baseball bureau. ' Hellbroner may attend the Indianapolis meeting to get a line on the situation. Selection of a successor to President Stahlhefer may come up at the Sunday meeting. Of the three candidates whose names have been suggested for Harry's Job, that of Louis Hellbroner of Ft. Wayne, will have the backing at Jeast of two clubs Grand Rapids and Ft. Wayne. Peoria and Bloomlngton are expected to back President Ryan of the Peoria club, with Al Tearney seemingly left out of all the

preliminary gunshoeing. Grand Rapids is boosting strong from Helbroner, although no one can understand the reason. Through President Vandagrift of the Ft. Wayne club, Hellbroner has let it be known that he will not be averse to accepting the presidency of a lfcague as outlined by Vandagrift. Were it established, however, that 1

four Illinois cities were ready to start, it probably wouldn't take Hellbroner long to reconslle himself to the Grand Rapids Idea of the 1319 circuit, as supplied by Bert Noblett.

TELEPHONE COMPANY APPROVES MEASURE

The Richmond Home Telephone company looks with favor upon the Bowers bill, pending in the Indiana senate, which would permit all public utilities doing business in- Indiana to come in under an indeterminate permit provision of the public service commission law; a provision which is not now operative under the present law, but which was taken advantage of by many companies when it was in effect Senator Bowers is the manager of a telephone company in Allen county. Many telephone companies are interested in this'bill, and it is understood that the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company- may also be interested in its provisions. The bill would amend . the present

law to read as follows: "Any public utility operating under an existing license, permit, or franchise from any state, town or county, shall, upon filing "with the clerk of such municipality which granted such franchise and with the commission, a written declaration, legally executed, that it surrenders such license, permit

or franchise, receive by the operation of law, in lieu thereof, an indeterminate permit as provided in this act, and such public utility shall hold such pormit under all the terms, conditions and limitations of this act." Under the proposed measure the Home Telephone company, could, if its stockholders so decided, come under the provisions of the utilities act.

ITALIAN EMBASSY BURNED

TOKIO, Sunday, Jan. 26. The Italian embassy was destroyed by fire today. Marquis Cusani-Confalioneri, and the members of his family escaped without injury. Marquis Cusani was at one time ambassador at Washington.

The first submarine cable was laid from Dover to Cape Grisnez, France, in 1850.

WASHINGTON . Brilliantly Geraldine Farrar made her debut in Goldwyn Pictures and brilliantly she continues. Her second appearance is made in "The Hell Cat," which comes to the Washington theater beginning today and the ylay bids fair to be the most powerful vehicle the international celebrity has ever had. - ' Geraldine Farrar is Pancha O'Brien, daughter of a Wyoming sheep ruiser, who is loved by Sheriff Jack Webb. There is another, one Jim Dike, a squaw man, who would possess her. She rebuffs him repeatedly.. At night he comes tw Iho O'Brien ranch and shoots (luwu Panulm'a father. This girl puis up a terrlflo fight aud proves that tshe is a veritable hell cat Dike, huvvevei, carries her away to his ranch. Dike's &u.uaw steals Into Pancha's louiii, iutent on Blabbing her; but when Paucha explains the Indian kiiuws that it is Dike who must be punished. She dashes off to tell the sheriff, lu order to win Pancha back to responsiveness. Dike offers to marry her aud take her East The girl con acuta. MUHHAY "The popular ImuroHblon that a girl must have pull in order to win Kucce upon the Mage Is all wroug," nays Mias Mary Smith Hall, who plays illiterate in "Experience," which comurt to the Murray theatre, Saturday, Feb. 1. "A girl should be clever, beautiful and taleuted, with a natural aptitude for acting, but then most women are born actressfes anyhow. The big thing is opportunity if that ia seen and realized at the proper time the pathway to success is made easier. "The trouble with most girls who go upon the stage Js that they have heard the bugbear that all managers must be placated before they will engage a young and pretty girl. That la not so at all. Theatrical managers are far too busy with new productions to bother their heads about every pretty face that comes along seeking an engagement. Imagine a thousand young actresses trying to get almost every good role in a new play, and think of the busy manager trying to pick over the thousand and admire all of them. The idei is absurd. The managers I have met are almost all of them happily married men, who wouldn't sacrifice their ideal hOmrt life for any young and pretty passing fancy." MURRETTE. A special course in how to get rid of persistent suitors, by Peggy Hyland, opens today at the Murrette thoater. In her new William Fox play "Caught in the Act," the youthful star is an adept at giving an obnoxious suitor the slip. She thinks nothing of leaving him at a street corner, sending the police to chase him. and dodging him in automobiles. This is quite contrary to iier father's wishes but what does that matter to the heroine of the play? She is one of those real tomboy girlsj filled with the spirit of adventure. The plain everyday ramance that ends with "Oh, this Is so sud

den!" is out of her line.. When she wants a romance she makes it, even if jt means visiting the man of her choice at his bachelor apartments and being wedded in pink pajamas.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why It Is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfill the pomises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like and endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Itoot by Parcels PosL Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention the Richmond Daily Palladium.
