EARL HAM FANS CONFIDENT OF WABASH DEFEAT

Absence of Meeks From Lineup May Hamper PlayersCoach Mowe is Optimistic. "Speedy" Meeks, the tut floor guard of the Earlbam basket-ball team ana who has been out of the game for the last few weeks, may not set to play to night against the fast Wabash team at the Coliseum. Wabash defeated Franklin on the Craw fords vllle floor 36-18 last week. but this does not mean that Earlham will lose tonight on the Coliseum floor. Wabash Is a team that Is almost Im possible to defeat on the borne floor. Last Friday night the Earlham team, without Captain Meeks, defeat ed Butler College In a fast scrap and on Saturday night playing In better form than ever before' tnls season won from the Indiana Dental College team at Indianapolis. If the team plays as well as It did at the Indianapolis game, Coach Mowe said that It would take a fast team 'to defeat the "Fighting Quakers." The coach seemed very optimistic over the game to be played to night in case Meeks does not play tonight Raiaird, who has been playing like a domon In the last two games will take his place. This will make a lineup almost as Btrong as with "Speedy", In the game. Hall will play tonight against his former teammates as last year he was n member of the "Wonder Five." He has been showing up well in the Erlham lineup this year. Hall and Lawler as a forward team pake probably one of the best In the kstate. Lawler Is always after the ball pnd always In the play. On the defensive Johnson at back ptiard makes a fine backbone for the team and his steady playing has saved bo day for the Quakers many times his season. Carey makoB an Ideal center and ran break up many plays because of pin height. The Boy Scout first team will play a curtain raiser game against a team headed by Thorton Brehm. The first game will be called at 7 pYiock. CPORT Snap Shots J By JACK KEENE Jako Daubert will not be traded to Cincinnati or any other National league club by the Brooklyns until he withdraws his suit against the Brooklyn club. This was the announcement made recently by President .Charles II. Ebbets of the Brooklyns. As long as the veteran first baseman Is deter mined to go through with his suit tt era f n af ttiA ' H1 n K no H nl iik a Kntlr fh;uoii hue? a laLuunii iiuu iui uhl.ii salary which he claims he Is entitled to Cincinnati and every other club In tho National league will refuse to have anything: to do with him or make any trade with tho Robins In which he will be involved. If Daubert does not withdraw his suit against the Flatbush club he will remain on the club's reserve list, and while he Is on that llEt he cannot play with any other club In baseball and will have to play with the Robins for terms distated by the owner of tho club or remain idle as f.ir as baseball is concerned. The Washington club has obtained the signature of Joe Brown of Buffalo to a contract for the coming season. Brown Is an unknown in major league i company, but Clark Griffith expects I to find that he Is quite a player, for (the youngster he is only eighteen "rears old has been highly recommended to the Old Fox by Joe Casey, Ms catcher. Casey discovered Brown last summer when the kid was. playing Shortstop on a team in an Industrial league up-state, and Immediately advised Griff to get him. When the Senators' pilot began to lay his plans for next season he got In touch with Brown and succeeded In signing him. "I know nothing about this kid." pays Griff, "except what Casey has cold me. If he Is half as good as Casey says he is, It will be well worth sur while to take him south and look lira over." Racing will be resumed In Canada n May if the racing Interests win the attle now going on with the reform element. When racing in Canada was closed down because of the war the authorities ruled that the sport should not be resumed until six months after jtho war. Those who are opposed to racing take the stand that under the law the sport cannot be resumed until six months after peace has ben declared officially. The racetrack interests hold that the close of active hostilities marked the beginning of the six months. A final decision on the matter is expected in the near future ami Canadian horsemen are confident that it will be a favorable one. James E. (Ted) Meredith, the University of Pennsylvania track star, has announced his retirement from the cinder path. He says he will devote his entire attention to business. FRANCE'S SONS WIN UNDYING GLORY No other nation has spilled its blood more freely that democracy might live than has France. Her sons have sacrificed more of blood and of treasure than those of any other nation. The world owes France a debt of gratitude not only for this, but for a perfect remedy for stomach, liver and intestinal disorders which, it is said, has naved thousands of lives the world over.

More Cities Falling in Line in Plan to Revive Central League

The effort of Richmond and Peoria' to revive the old Central league is meeting with success. Each day finds a new city boosting for the re-organization. The latest to come to the front is Fort Wayne, Ind. They want to come back to the game with the "Peoria idea," form a fan association and let the customers at the gate have a voice In the running of the affairs of tho club. The idea of adapting the "Peoria Idea" to Richmond conditions has been discussed here. To put the local club on a sound financial basis, a fan's organization must Bell sufficient season tickets to guarantee a fund that will enable the management to go ahead without fear of financial embarassment. It is believed' that the required number of tickets can be cold without trouble. Fort Wayne Enthusiastic. Letters from Fort Wayne tell of excellent baseball facilities there, of a splendid baseball plant within three minutes of the heart of the city, of the big years the club had enjoyed in the past, and of the interest that is now being shown by fans throughout the city. Fort Wayne will be represented at the Indianapolis meeting of the league next Sunday and then if they want assistance in forming their new fans association. Jack Ryan of Peoria will send a committee of, boosters from this city to show them how the trick was turned 'Ift Peoria. A message was also received at baseball' headquarters today from President Harry Stahlhefer of the Central league, Mr. Stahlhefer stated he was confined to his bed with an attack of sickness, but that while it will probably be impossible for him to Business Men to Play Deciding Volley Ball Game on Friday Night Brewer's and Treffinger's volley ball teams in the business men's class at the Y. M. C. A. are now tied In number of games won. Each has taken five games. The eleventh and deciding game will be played Friday night but probably more games will be played following this one. Great spirit has been shown in this series of games. Plans for different kinds of games are being made now and the Y. M. C. A. is adding interest to the business men's classes. The idea of business men's classes seems to be working out in fine shape as many business men go to the "Y" to get recreation and find the gymnasium work and play beneficial.

One of the most enthusiastic of the early replies for the proposed meeting came from Bloomington. The fans there are to begin at once on the organization of a baseball association, similar to the one in Peoria. In fact they are growing so enthusiastic that already talk of a new ball park has been started, a committee of fns visited tho old plant yesterday and decided If a new park was not forthcoming that at least several hundred dollars would be expended to putting the old place in ship shape. G. H. Maines, president of the Michigan League, wants lint and BattleCreek in the Central. He says the backing for the clubs is at hand.

THREE TEAMS WANT

TO ENTER S. A. L. Only three baseball teams have sig nified willingness to enter the S. A. L. if such a league Is formed next summer. These three teams are the A. S. M., the Starr, and the Robinson foundry. Other teams will probably enter If the league is formed but none have said so at this time. . The organization meeting will be held Wednesday night, Feb. 5, at the Y. M. C. A., according to Sam Vigran, last year's president of the league. Anyone interested in the welfare of this league and having any Ideas on the organization of the league for next year should attend this meeting as well as the representatives from the various teams. . It is expected that the games will be played at Exhibition park or at the Athletic park if they are played at all. Committees to decide where playing is to be done will be appointed Wednesday. Whether the S. A. L. will be started will be decided and also It will be decided whether it will be best to start if the Central league decides to go again this year. The league officials hope to have teams enter into the race representing the National Automatic Tool Works, the Starr Piano company, F. and N. Lawn Mower company,' American Seeding Machine company, the Pennsylvania Railroad company, Jenkins Vulcan Spring company, Johnson Sheet Metal Works, and a number of other concerns, but it looks as if there will not be that many teams entered at present. The Simplex team will probably not be a contender for the title of .the S. A. L., next year as the factory force has been cut down. Last year the Simplexers were "champs" after winning the last game from the Natco team. The Natco team had held the championship for two years previous to that time. Many of the players are keeping in trim during the winter by playing indoor baseball in the Y. M. C. A. Industrial league. SCREEN NEWS WASHINGTON.

In the end the girl is forced to tell how she obtained the information, but the story ends happily for all. Edmund Mortimer directed the picture. Marshall Nlelan supervised the direction of the picture.

Those two engagements ana uius two plays stand out prominently in my mind as I look back upon the early days of my experience before the footlights. With these, however, I might associate my terms at the Boston theatre and the Boson Museum with William Warren. "Both these theatres registered the high-water mark In American theatredom In heir day, in my opinion. Warren was a fine actor. In London he was a god; and his reputation extended beyond the New England states.. All this, of course, made a profound impression on one as young and new in the profession as I was at that time. Certainly it was a largo tactor.in aeiermining my tareei. MURRETTE. Gardner Hunting, who made the picturization of "Too Many Millions."

Howard Cox Stars in Dramatic Production Howard Cox, formerly of Richmond,, has received much praise for the talent he displayed in his interpretation of the role "Nat Goodwin" in "The Fortune Hunter" by Winchell Smith, which the Seniors at ' Huntington high school presented recently. A Huntington newspaper says of Mr. Cox: "Howard Cox, as the lead, impersonating Nat Goodwin, the fortune seeker, not only astonished the I audience with mastery of his difficult part, but continually evoked alternately mirth and admiration with the skilled manner in which he traveled over the confusing and complicated jpath of the "fortune hunter."

The team leaves at soon, but It will probably have a hard time making connection at Indianapolis as the trains have been running off schedule for about a week. . Van Allen, Stegman, Dollins. Price.

A few weeks ago Martinsville was defeated by Richmond on the Coliseum floor here in a hard fought game and Richmond expects to have a hard time getting away with the long end of the score tonight. It is not known whether Martinsville has increased in strength any since the game earlier in the season or not.

Martinsville is always considered one of the contenders for the state championship and last year worked Into the semi-finals by fine playing. Gibbs of the Martinsville in the game here December 13 made five of the goals for his team and Townsend scored three goals. Baker and Tackett made two goals during the game. It Richmond wins tonight the locals have a good chance, according to dope, to win the state championship at Lafayette this year. TWO QUAKERS GO TO FRANCE MARION. Ind., Jan. 31.
