RYAN TO CARRY FIGHT AGAINST NOBLETT PROJECT TO FT. WAYNE

Callsjt Plot to Gobble Up Choice Central League Territory, v PEORIA - IS WORRYIHG Richmond Regarded as Strav tegic Pivot by the Two Factions.

Bert Noblett's project and the Fort Wayne meeting on February 23 nave muddled Central League re-organization plans considerably, according to adricea received here today. It has become a test of strength between Noblett and Jack Ryan, of Peoria, to see who can Hoe up the most clubs for- their respective circuits. Peoria fans are in arms against the Noblett proposal. "Trickery of the most underhanded nature can be detected by fans and boosters In the move to expand the Central circuit north and east and start the 1919 playing season with Peoria, Bloomington, Terre Haute and Evansville out in the cold," says a Peoria dispatch to.day. . . . Ryan In a telegram to the Richmond club says: "Received the Grand Rapids call today and of course it doesn't look good to Peoria.' We feel that they are trying to put something over on us. We will be glad to have you suggest a meeting or anything else that will help the baseball cause. We are pretty anxious on this end of the circuit" Depends on Richmond. The future plans of the league may - depend on the action of Richmond. If this city swings to the northern cities' ' plans, it is a certainty Fort Wayne .will go with it, also probably Spring- , field and Dayton. ; - If Richmond does not favor the northern cities, however, -the original plans of the circuit made in Indianapolls two weeks ago may be carried out. Richmond has a high regard for Peoria as a baseball city, also Terre Haute and Evansville and President Ryan feels reasonably certain that Richmond will remain a booster of the original organization. The Richmond club, holding a strategical position, is satisfied to let events run their course for several . days. , Official steps on the muddled . reorganization plans will not be taken until the various owners voice a sentiment and take a definite stand on the league they favor, it was announced at Peoria.

' 8uipects Trickery.

Ryan believes the Noblett circuit

rill have a greater mileage than his

project. He will attend the Fort i Wayne meeting and put up a strong fight against letting Peoria out in the cold. He considers the Illinois and " western" Indiana cities good material "'for the circuit; ' ,"r It seems that Ryan has been Informed by Grand Rapids that Peoria has no chance in the Noblett plan of reorganization. The Peoria management believes that Grand Rapids is going on the theory that she will fix up the league to suit herself and the other Central league cities will be told to go hang themselves. ' If Grand Rapids had not taken the action the management did early in 1917 when it served notice on the

1,

other clubs regarding the notorious decision on the share jpt receipts which visiting clubs were to receive, the other clubs might not today look upon her proposal with , such suspicion. Hamilton Wants Job. James A. Hamilton, former manager of the Muskegon team, and 1918 manager of the Vancouver club of the Pacific Northwestern, has applied for the managerial berth of Richmond. Action of Davenport in favoring high class baseball for 1919 was pleasing news to Peoria fans. They can see another mighty high class minor league spring up, If the Central does go in the other direction and its lineup might be as follows: Evansville, Terre Haute, Decatur, Bloomington, Peoria, Davenport, Moline and Rockford. And It would not be a bad circuit at that, for plenty of rivalry exists between the various cities, and some old fashioned crowds will surely result If they go out to give the fans the best Class B ball obtainable. Bloomington is ready to go to Fort Wayne February 23 and tight along side1 of Peoria for the rights of the Illinois and Southern Indiana cities. Hunter at Springfield. Fred Hunter of Columbus was in Springfield yesterday to look over the baseball situation. He met several directors of the club and a few of the fans, and all assured him of hearty support. Hunter was told that the fans of Springfield want professional ball this year and that everybody would be a booster if he decided to back a club. The object of Mr. Hunter's visit was to ascertain if he could secure Washington park in case the directors of the former local club decided not to back a team here this year. His partner, Mr. Bluffum of Lincoln, Neb., the

financial man, will return irom D ionda next week and Hunter desired to have things in Bhape to make a report to him. The two men will return to. Springfield and meet with the 'directors of the club.' The chances of organizing a league, composed entirely of Ohio cities, has taken no definite form, and the directors are determined not "to rescind the action they took about not accepting a franchise In any court, Including Indiana and Illinois towns. Springfield fans are inclined to, Relieve that Noblett is trying to kick up a rumpus, because he was not included in the original re-organization plans of the Central. WANTS GOOD BALL DAVENPORT, la., Feb. 15. Davenport wants baseball, but it will have nothing lower than Class B variety, and it prefers Class A, This was made clear at a meeting of fans. A corporation with $1,000 capital was formed to take charge of all professional and semi-pro sports. The purpose of the gathering was to consider going after a place on the Central league, but the matter was left open. It is thought there may be a chance, for the city may bet into the Western league. A proposal to join the Mississippi Valley league, now being agitated was promptly turned down. Another meeting will be held next Wednesday evening, when officers probably will be named.

No Independent Toerney In Richmond This Year There will be no independent basketball tournament" In Wayne county this year, according to George Brehzn who was Is charge of the movement. The main reason for the failure of the project was because of the lack of playing floors over the county. All of the Independent teams in the county wanted to play but the only floors in the towns are the ones used by the high school teams and these cannot be used by other teams. . ' Probably next year it will be possible to hold a tourney of this kind.

EARLHAM OUTCLASSES NORMAL TEAM AND TAKES GAME BY 40-22 SCORE

LOCALS LOSE TO. HUNTINGTON IN "PEPLESS" GAME

Richmond high school basketballers playing in a dreamy fashion and without the usual "pep" and ginger went down to defeat at the hands of the Huntington team, outclassed and outplayed in every department of the

game. The final score was 28-17.

None of the Richmond boys could hit the basket and many times during the game they fumbled the ball and lost it to the Huntington men. At one time during the game the Huntington men took possession of the ball and passed it . around to every man on their team without losing it to Richmond. : " , Porter failed to play up to expectations when he was put into the game a few minutes after play had been called in the second half and although he had several shots at the basket he could not make the ball slip through the net. Eversman played a fast game and broke up many plays that started down the floor toward the Richmond goal. The Huntington man that got by Eversman was very lucky last night and most of the shots made by the visitors were long ones. Walker proved his ability as a good shot by slipping four shots in through the netting from well out on the floor. Gtenn also played hard for the visitors and made three field goals.. Van Allen Makes Fouls Most of the Richmond team seemed to the spectators to be playing a desperate kind of "heroics" instead of playing basketball. Out of seventeen attempts from the foul line VanAUen made eleven goals and Walker made eight out of twelve. Dollins was taken out of the game in the last half on four personal fouls

and Vore went in, in his place. Vore

did not get any chance to prove his ability as a basketball player in the short time that remained. Unless Richmond shows marked improvement before March 6 the Liberty, Fountain City or Rushville teams will come here and wipe up the floor with the Quakers. ;,..,,.. . , a. . Huntington last year lost to Anderson in the semi-finals of the state tournament at Bloomington by one point. Many of the basketball experts attending that game said that Huntington had the best team of the two but after securing a seven point lead in the second half the Huntington men became over-confident and lost.

Earlham . college men playing a . trand of basketball seldom seen in ; Indiana, outclasses State Normal cols lege of Terre Haute in every departa ment of the game and won from them 40-22. Carey lead the scoring for Earlham with 16 polpts, while Hall came in a : close second with 12, and Lawler third with 10. The game was clean all the way through. Two fouls were called on . State Normal and five on Earlham. Witter made four out of five foul goals. This victory puts Earlham at the top of the list for the 1. ' C. A. L. championship, with only Wabash In the way. ' Earlham's - chance at Wabash will come next Saturday when the Quakers journey to Crawfords-

ville to play the "Little Giants."

The last and biggest game of the Earlham season' will be played on March 6 when the Em-Roes team of Indianapolis comes to Richmond for a game with the college men. The Em-Roes are considered undisputed state champions and the Quakers will have a hard time getting away with the long end of the score in this game. The players do not give it up as hopeless, however, and expect to give the Indianapolis men a hard fight. The score of the Earlham-State Normal game follows: EARLHAM. Gls. F. G. Msd. Pts.

WHY CHILLY WEATHER BRINGSRHEUMATISM 8ays Skin Pores Are Closed and Uric Acid Remains in Blood. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions, it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure, and above all, drink lots of pure water. ' Rheuatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather, the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling In the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. ' At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink it before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is ben

eficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.
