DISTRICT TOURNEY BASKETBALL NOW

HOLDS INTEREST

Enthusiasm Rising in State

High Schools , at Approach

V of Mate lournament.

... (Special to The Palladium.) . . . LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 7. Basket

. ball 1b the premier high school sport

In Indiana. There is practically no . football, little track and less baseball. But there is scarcely a high school

- In the state, whether it be situated

In a, city, town, hamlet or crossroads,

that'is not represented by a basket

ball squad in which the entire popu

lace in the community In which it

plays is not interested. With the sectional tournament, to be held in twenty Indiana cities, loom

ing up a little more than a month off, the enthusiasm of the basketball fans is running rampant, and it is predict

ed that this will be a banner year in the annals of the great high school

. sport. Twenty Districts.

March 7 and 8, 275 basketball teams

will play at Anderson, Bedford, Hunt Ington,. Columbus, Crawfordsville, In

dianapolis. Franklin, Martinsville, Kendallville, Kokomo, Frank fort,

Rochester, Newcastle, Richmond,

South Bend, Gary, Vincennes, Wash- . ington, Brazil and Lafayette. The following week the twenty sectional champs will compete in the ninth annual tournament, which will be held

at Purdue University, Lafayette, to decide the champion high school bas

ketball team in Indiana, which is a

great honor since high school basket

ball in Indiana compares favorably with the brand of basketball played by the high school quintets in any state .in the union. - While the coaches and players of the teams in every section of the state are hard at work conditioning so as to make the best possible showing at the district tourneys great plans and preparations are being made at Purdue University to provide board, lodging and entertainment, for the sectional champs and the hundreds of fans who will be here to witness the games In what promise to be the biggest and bpst state tournament in the history of the classic. Some Advantages. Four railroads, the Big Four, Morion. Wabash, and Lake Erie and Western, two interurban lines, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern, and the Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana, run through Lafayette, ind there are adequate facilities, making the Star City an ideal place to hold tte state tournament. The vari5us fraternities plan to care for the visiting basketball quintets and there will be plenty of room, with excellent places at which to dine, for all visiting fans. The Purdue University Memorial gymnasium, where the tournament will be held, is modern and fully equipped and a student committee has been appointed to co-operate with the athletic department at Puriue to insure the success of the meet

LEONARD MAY TOUR WORLD FOR TWO YEARS

FRANKLIN TEAM TO BE GIVEN HARD BATTLE BY EARLHAM

A story that comes from San Francisco has it that Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion of the world, will not engage in any championship, decision or no decision bouts in the United States for .two years to come. Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager, and Lieut. Sydney Cohen of New York announced recently in the city by the Golden Gate that a

contract had been entered into whereby Leonard was to tour Australia, India, China, France and England, over a period of fifteen months, for a guarantee of $104,000, with the privilege of a percentage. The tour, according to the 6tory, is to start from San Francisco next September, and will conclude with the champion's arrival in New York.

SPRINGFIELD WILL

NOT JOIN THREE-! SAYS KINSELLA

GARFIELD WHITES PENNANT WINNERS

Garfield Whites and Purples have lust finished the fall term season in basketball and baseball, the Whites svinnins the fall term pennant with 53 points to the Purple's 35. When the students enter the 7B grade, the school is divided into two lections and leagues are formed from each side with an equal number of teams. Thirty points were awarded for baseball, 15 for indoor baseball, and 15 for outdoor. In indoor baseball the Whites took first place and obtained 10 points, the purple came in second with 5 points. It was the other way in outdoor baseball. Seventy points were awarded for basket-ball, 40 to the small toys' league and 30 to the large boys. In the small 'boys league the Whites, by taking first second and third places obtained 40 points. In the large boys' league the Purple's took first, receiving 20 noints. and the Whites Eec-

ond Dlace and ten points. No third j

plp.ee was awarded because of the email number of teams competing. Usually during the fall term, soccer and tennis are played, but this year because of the influenza it was impossible to do this, and only the two sports were in vogue. Plans are being made to have basketball about eight weeks next term; baseball, both indoor and outdoor; tennis, a singles tourney and a doubles tourney if possible, and the annual track and field meet to be held the first or second Saturday in May. Plans are now on foot to remove the basket ball goal from one end of the floor, and make the floor a few yards shorter by hanging the goal from one of the rafters. This will greatly imrrovo the playing floor and shooting, as one of the goals now has a wall behind it, presenting a chance for inJury to tho players. By suspending this goal the gym. will be put in up-to-date shape. ROLLER BASKETBALL AT SKATE TONIGHT At the high school Freshman-Sophomore skate tonight a game of roller skate basketball will be atetmpted for the first time in the history of Richmond. If the game tonight is a success, another game will be played on Feb. 38, when Richmond high school plays Huntington high schpol. There are three attributes necessary to a good roller skating basketball player. These are, an ability to hit the baskets; an ability to skate well, and last but not least, a great deal of nerve. The two teams that will play tonight are made up of the following: "Shel" Simmons, "Dade" Geyer, "Tacks" Bradfleld. R. . Nicodemus and L. Williams making one team and "Sox" Qulgley, Gub Calvelage, Burr Simmons, "Bumps" Brehm and Roland Keys Composing the other team.

There is little liklihood of Springfield becoming a member of the ThreeI league for the 1919 season, according to Dick Kinsella, former owner of the Springfield club. Kinsella believes, however, that in cities like Peoria, Bloomington and Decatur, the plan would work satisfactorily. Springfield is under a handicap. There is no baseball park and the old grand stand used in previous years, has been dismantled. A new granstand would cost about $10,000, he said. William Jackson, former manager of the Peoria club of the Three-I league, is considering two offers for the coming season. The Omaha club of the Western league, which Jackson led last season, wants him to return and the Shreveport club of the Texas league also is bidding for his services.

RUNNERS TO MEET

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 7. Josie Ray, the Illinois athletic club distance runner, and Tom Campbell of University High, Chicago, probably will meet in a special 1,000 yard race as the feature event of the national track and field meet of the Kansas City A. C. to be staged in Convention hall, on March 8.

EATON HIGH TEAM

TO PLAY OXFORD

EATON, O., Feb. 7 The high school basketball squad goes to Oxford Fri

day evening for a game with McGuffy high school. It is expected a dele

gation of local fans will accompany

the team to Oxford.

LAUN AT CAMP PIKE.

IOWA CITY, la., Feb. 7. Lieutenant

Charles Laun, former star halfback

and captain of the university football eleven, has been made athletic instructor at Camp Pike, Ark., succeeding Captain John L. Griffith, recently

transferred, to Washington.

When the game between Earlham and Franklin starts at Franklin tonight there will be no fear In the hearts of the Quaker players, as there was in the Wabash game. The Franklin player actually "admit" themselves to be the secondary champs. In fact they have admitted it several times in a voice that could be heard all over Hoosierdom. The Franklin players were defeated by the "Little Giants" a few weeks ago, just as Earlham was, but Franklin says the only reason for that defeat was because Wabash played dirty, knocking out three players. This story sounds fine to anyone who has not seen the Wabash team play and also to anyone who saw tho Franklin lineup announced a few days after the Wabash-Franklin game.

Anyone noticing This will see that

the three players who were handled

so roughly and who were "knocked

out" according to Franklin's story

were all right as soon as the game was over.

"Speedy" Meeks is still on the sick list and will not be able to play tonight "Cy" Pitts, old Richmond high school basketball star, probably will take his place as guard. He showed up well in the Wabash game last week. The Earlham team is not over-confident, and expects to give Franklin a hard fight. Butler defeated Franklin, and Earlham won from Butler, so the dope loks favorable for a Quaker victory. Clark Larsh, from Colfax, Ind., a

DEFENDS BILLIARD TITLE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7. August Kieckhefer, Chicago, worlds three cushion billiard champion, will defend his title for the eighth time in twelve months when he meets Alfredo De Oro, the Cuban veteran, in a 150-point match here February 13, 14, and 15.

Fountain City Team Shows

Material foi Championship Fountain City will play New Lisbon at Fountain City tomorrow night. These teams are evenly matched, and a fast, well played game is expected. Each team has won from the

other by the same score and this game will decide the better team. The Fountain City team bids fair to give Richmond a hard fight in the district tournament here on March 7 and 8. Last year in the local district tourney Fountain City upset the dope bucket by defeating the fast Liberty quintette in the second round. The Fountain team was defeated in the semi-finals however, by the Richmond team. It is hoped that Richmond will have a chance to play Fountain City in the last game of the tournament, as this will probably be one of the fastest games of the tourney. The complete Fountain City schedule follows: Feb. 8 New Lisbon at Fountain City. Feb. 12 Farmland at Fountain City. Feb. 14 Farmland at Farmland. Feb. 19 Mooreland at Fountain City. Feb. 22 New Paris at Fountain City. Feb. 26Hagerstown at Hagerstown. Feb. 28 Cambridge City at Cambridge City.

LEGAL NOTICES.

49

member of the champion Thorntown basketball team of 1916 will make the Franklin trip and will play either center or guard. He tips the scales at 193 pounds and is over six feet in height. Following is a dispatch from Franklin ' which tells the Franklin side of the argument: "Basketball championship hopes at Franklin have been revived this week, in spite of the setback received at Butler and Indiana university last week. Horace Bud McCIain, star forward on the local five two years ago, has returned from eighteen months' service in the navy, and has re-entered school. He played on the champion team at the Great Lakes Naval Training station last season, and has also played on navy teams this winter. He will likely appear in the lineup against Earlham."

STUDIES DENTISTRY.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 7. Jimmy Conzelman, one of the greatest athletes ever developed in St. Louis, having received his discharge from the navy, plans to reenter St. Louis university to take up dentistry.

GONNERSVILLE GAME EXPECTED TO BE EASY FOR LOCALS

Only 125 persons will be allowed to see the basket-ball game at Connercville tonight when Richmond plays the Connersville high school In the first game between these two teams this season. The reason for the limit Is because the town is just getting over an Influenza epidemic, and the authorities are taking no chances. The first game of the Richmond schedule was to have been with Connersville here on November 22, but was called off because of the epidemic. ' Richmond, it is believed, will have no trouble to win, as Connersville has

not made much of a showing this sea

son. "Ernie" Porter, who has just retuprned to school may get into the

game tonight. , Van Allen, Stegman,

Dollins. Eversman and Price will

make the trip as regulars. No enthusiasm is shown in Conners

ville tonight. Many games away from

the Coliseum this season have been lost by the local team because there were no backers to urge them on.

The barbers of Osaka. Japan, who j number 4,500, nave approached loca authorities with a proposal to establish a training school for knights of the razor.

Don't Spoil a Good Meal With a Bad Stomach

If a physician, a specialist in stomach diseases, came to you and said: "I will fix up that miserable, worn-out stomach for you or money back. "I will make it as good as new so you will not suffer from any distress and can eat what you want without fear or suffering, or money back, would you turn down his offer? And when you are offered Mi-o-na stomach tablets, made from a prescription better than many of the stomach specialists know how to write, are you going to be narrowminded and continue to suffer from indigestion, or are you going to be fair to yourself and try Mi-o-na on the money back agreement. Mi-o-na 6tomach tablets are offered to you on this basis, that if they do not put your stomach into such good shape that there is no dizziness, sour stomach, biliousness, sick headache, and stomach distress, your money will be returned.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS

Where Most Sickness Begins and Ends BY FRANKLIN DUANE, H. D. It can be said broadly that most human ills begin in the stomach and end in the stomach. Good digestion means good health, and poor digestion means bad health. The minute your stomach fails to properly dispose of the food you eat, troubles begin to crop out in various forms. Indigestion and dyspepsia are the commonest forms, but thin7 impure blood, headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches, dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak

ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, cougns, colds and bronchitis are almost as common. There is but one way to have good health, and that is to put and keep your 6tomach in good order. This is easy to do if you take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a wonderful tonic and blood purifier, and is so safe to take, for it is made of roots and herbs. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., stands behind this standard medicine, and it is good to know that so distinguished a physician is proud to have his name identified with it. When you take Golden Medical Discovery, you are getting the benefit of the experience of a doctor whose reputation goes all around the earth. Still more, you get a temperance medicine that contains not a drop of alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long ago Dr. Pierce combined certain valuable vegetable ingredients without the use of alcohol so that these remedies always have been strictly temperance medicines. If piles are torturing you, get and use Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment. The quick relief it gives is hard to believe until rou try it. If constipated, Dr. Pierce's pleasant Pellets should be taken while jsing Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few inleed are the cases which these splendid emedies will not relieve and usually over3ome. They are so good that nearly rverv dni store has them for sale.
