BRINGING UP
gJVCT THAT MR.VjnHit CAKR O DARTER? ENTHUSIASM IN CENTRAL LEAGUE REVIVAL GROWS More Cities Show Favor Toward Reorganization Plans Muskegon Wants in. Indications were today that the Grand Rapids and Muskegon tangle has been unraveled and that these cities will favor the re-organization plans that are under way In the Central. Muskegon's entrance into the circuit depends upon Grand Rapid's attitude, and the action of Muskegon will in turn decide for the Furniture City. This situation is pretty thoroughly explained In a Muskegon dispatch. The Dayton-Springfleld problem also is nearing solution. Jack Ryan may visit these cities before the week closes, and there is little doubt that he will be able to get them back into the fold where they belong: In Illinois the enthusiasm is strong, especially in Peoria, where Jack Ryan has a reputation for being a sportsman of the highest class and where fans have unlimited confidence in him. Down in the bend, Evansville is showing interest, and Terre Haute, which did not have a club in 1917, has about made up its mind that organized ball is a summer sport that is worth while. MUSKEGON WILLING. MUSKEGON, Mich., Feb. 5. This city will bid for a berth in the Central league if such an offer is made to local baseball fans, a proposition from the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce being likely in the shapo of a 1,000 season ticket guarantee, which would mean $15,000 to start with, and park rental gratis. The turning over of a $30,000 baseball park, Marsh field, to the club that comes here and tho assurances of 1,000 season tickets, sems a pretty tempting offer to followers of the great American pastime, and it is thought that there will, no doubt, be some arrangements made very soon. This city is under a queer condition for supporting baseball, because unless Grand Rapids is also able to maintain one, Muskegon must do without, as the result of the position of these two cities being outside the path of With the passing of the . saloon, western Michigan is out of the line of the other clubs, the jumps from one town to the other would be too great, and consequently these two towns have decided to each maintain a ball club, which will help one or the other in getting ground the state with the team. Large attendance at the games are assured, for with the growth of Muskegon to the boundaries of Muskegon Heights, the total population is about 50,000, and the club has the residents of the twin cities to draw from. Jimmle Hamilton, former fighting leader of the Muskies, is being strongly favored to return to his old position, and it is more than likely that come arrangement will be made so that he can do so. The fact that Hamilton managed to place the Muskies in the first division, his first trip out in that association here will never be forgotten by Muskegon fans. CONDITION BETTER. GRAND RAPIDS,. Mich., Feb. 5. Prohibition is going to make all the difference in the world in the efforts of minor leagues to succeed, wherever started, this season. This is an opinion which backers of Central league baseball here and in Muskegon hold In common with men who ought to know. With the pasisng of the saloon, there Is still one great evil which ha3 hurt the attendance which must be eliminated here if Central league ball is to enjoy a successful season. That Is the "ticker" fan who, in the past has been given the opportunity to risk his odd dimes on the outcome of the bit? leaguo contests. It is the plan of Bert Noblett. part owner of the Grand Rapids franchise. Small Pill Small Dote Small Price For Constipation Carter's Little liver Pills will set you right over night.

PAT GETS HARDEST JOB IN BASEBALL Pat Moral Pat Moran deserves the distinguished service medal or some other recognition for his bravery in taking the job of managing the Cincinnati Reds. The deal was closed recently when Garry Herrmann failed to hear from Mathewson in answer to a query as to his intentions. Managing the Reds has proved the toughest job in baseball. to supply the big league scores by innings in the event that Central league play is revived here again this season. The idea was given a tryout at Ramona before Island park was built and proved a decided hit with the fans. Noblett and his associates, who have paid the bills of other season's failures, are entitled to all the co-operation that Grand Rapids can give in their efforts to iron out all the preseason wrinkles, and the elimination of the pools is one reform that furnishes a sizable task to begin with.

The Allies basketball team led by Fitzpatrick won the last game of the season from the Aces and took the championship of the large boys' league last night, 7-6. With the score tied a minute before the game was over, a double foul was called and Fitzpatrick took plenty of time and shot it while Taylor, the captain of the Aces, missed. The last whistle was blown a moment after and the game ended with the Allies ahead. In the other game of the" evening the Wisconsin team won from the Yanks, 11-8 due mainly to the stellar playing of Walls and Kesslar. Dunham scored the most points -for the losers.

OLD DISTRICT TOURNEY PLANS UNDERWAY Prospects are for one of the best tournaments held here for several years but it is still doubtful what teams will come to Richmond for the district tourney and just how many will come. All the teams wishing to enter the tournaments send names to A. O. Chester at LaPorte, Ind., and he decides where each team shall go to play. , He does not announce this list until the first of March and this gives the district centers very little time to get ready to entertain the teams. More tickets must be sold this year than last because of the increased railway fare and increase in food and entertainment. In all other towns over the state the tickets will be sold for $1 but Richmond has secured a reduction and It has not been decided whether the tickets will be fifty cents or seventy-five. So far this season Richmond has made a good showing and should have little trouble in winning the tournament here. Liberty and Fountain City have been going good this season but Richmond should have no trouble in winning the tourney. EASTHAVEN MAY JOIN S. A. L. LEAGUE Easthaven will probably enter a team in the S. A. L., if the league is reorganized this year. This will make the fourth team in the league. Last year Easthaven had a championship tea mand it has a good outlook for 1919. Representatives of the Easthaven team will probably be at the meeting at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. Neither the Natco or the Simplex teams plan to enter the league this year and the four that will probably start the season are the Starr, SwayneRobinson, American Seeding Machine company and Easthaven. If possible the games will be played on the Easthaven grounds as they are the best in the state according to local baseball men. All officials and men interested in the formation of the league should come to the meeting at the Y. M. C. A. tonight at 8 o'clock. -Set; Em Up OnThc Other Alley

Liberty High Wants to Meet Fountain City Liberty high school since being defeated by Fountain City in the basketIball tournament last year seems to be afraid to play against that team, according to the Fountain City men. Four games have been scheduled between these two teams and all have been cancelled. It is claimed that the Liberty management said that the two teams would not meet until the district tourney here on March 6 and 7. Fountain City authorities are inclined to believe that the Liberty team had "cold feet" and is afraid to meet the Fountain City boys. Fountain City Meets Hagerstown Team Tonight Fountain City will play Hagerstown basketball team tonight instead of Farmland as was first announced. Farmland was scheduled to play Fountain City tonight but because of the influenza epidemic, is unable to fill the date. Camels are fit to work at five years old, but their strength begins to decline at twenty-five, although they usually live to forty.

Comiskey is Anxious For Games
With Teams Hablo Espagnol, senor? This ; is a question which may be familiar to members of the Chicago Vhite Sox during the coming season, because it's Spanish for the question "Do you speak Spanish?" or something that means the same thing. The south side players are likely to be brushing up on Spanish all summer, because it Is more than likely that they will be down in South America next autumn, where that language rules. Owner Comiskey of the Sox made it known recently upon his return from Miami, Fla., that he has decided on combining forces with the New York Giants for another jaunt outside of the realms of the U. S. and the cities of South America are to be vis ited. Pete Kilduff of the Cubs says that some naval officers have too keen a sense of comedy. Mr. Kilduff, all in his navy blue arrayed, dressed up just like a horse, was promenading by the rail of his battleship, when an officer halted him. "Young man," said the officer, "you are Kilduff, the noted ball player of the Chicago Cubs, are you not?" i "Aye, aye, sir!" saluted Mr. Kilduff. "Ah, yes," resumed the officer. "You were, I believe, so highly regarded by the management that they made you the cleanup man?" "Aye, aye, sir!" replied the flattered Mr. Kilduff. v "Then," said the officer, "you are just the man I am looking for. Take this pail and clean up this deck!" "" Clark Griffith and some cronies were sitting around a table in the Biltmore cafe during the New York baseball confabs talking about the old days. Jack Dunn, owner of the Baltimore club, was a member of the party. The conversation turned to the subject of Napoleon Lajoies retirement. "Yes, he was a good hitter," said Dunn, "but I could fool him. You know Larry liked them breast high and I always pitched low to him." "Is that so" retorted Griffith. "Well I used to think I could fool Lajoie, but I won't say that I made him look bad. .1 happen to have the dope here Sore Muscles or Backache Relieve them quickly with petrisol Get a jar of petrisol rub over the aches and paint bring relief immediately.

It is understood that the report will uphold the village council in its action, taken recently, to close up the town's plant and purchase current from Robert S. Ashe, of Richmond, Ind. Forty Wet Spots Left WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. There will be forty places in the TJ. S. A. where one may legally get a drink after the national prohibition amendment goes into effect. Thirty-nine of these places are in Washington. One is in New York. They are the embassies and legations of foreign countries. All are in Washington except the Paraguayan legation, which is apartment 1678 in the Woolworth Bulding, New York. "Embassies and legations are in effect bits of foreign soil and are not subject to our domestic legislation," says Hannis Taylor, expert on international law and former minister to Spain., ... , . ... 5 , , "When I was minister to Spain, I could have cut the throat of the queen had she visited the embassy, and could not have been prosecuted under international law unless my country saw fit to waive that right." "If it is true that embassies will be exempt from the prohibition law," said E. C. Dinwiddie, directing Anti-saloon League activities in Washington, "I hardly expect the diplomats will violate the law openly." Senator Shepherd, father of the dry amendment, was not disposed to agree with Dinwiddie. "While I know that criminal laws of a country do not cover embassies, surely," he stated, "they could be reached by some sort of police regulation." MONUMENT FOR MURNANE. CHICAGO, Feb. 5. President Johnson of the American League announced today that the organization would erect a monument over the grave of Tim Murnane, at Brookline, Mass., who died a year ago. Murnane gained fame as a base runner in the 70's, and following his playing days, was president of the New England league and a baseball writer.
