IUAKER FIVE HAS HOT BASKETBALL BATTLES AHEAD

y Five Games Yet to be Played ' Dentals and Wabash This ; Week. ; Coach Ray B. Mowe announced on "Wednesday that Earlham has five more hot basketball battles to wago before the season closes. Two are I. C. A. L. contests and the other three are booked with strong teams outside the I. C. A. L. Four of these games ' will be played on the home floor. Friday night Mowe's proteges stack up against the Indiana Dentals at the Coliseum. The same evening the Richmond High school basketballers take on the Manual High school five of Indianapolis. The following night the Maroon and White basket tossers will travel to Crawfordsville where the deciding I. C. . A. L. . contest twlU .be "waged. , All the present indications are that Earlham will havellttle trouble in disposing of its opponents, in Friday night's game. However, the game. will probably be a close one as Mowe's men will not tire themselves out with the Wabash college game before them. Captain "Speedy" Meeks will prob'ably not get into either of the contests, being still weak from illness. , Cy Pitts the old Richmond High school star, has been holding down hia position. Meeks has been practicing with the team and will soon be able to play at least a portion of the game. Beat Team for Years The present, basketball five Is one of the largest teams Earlham has put out for years, with four six-footers " now playing on the regular five. Although Earlham did not start the bas-

, ' ketball season with its usual good "1 ' playing, Earlham fans are confident of fa brilliant windup of the season. With the development of Carrey at center and the addition of Larsh and Hall, both speedy and stable men. Coach Mowe believes that his old machine composed of Lawler, Johnson, Pitts and Meeks will carry away the I. C. A. L. pennant. The probable lineup of the Earlham .t?em will be Carey, center; Pitts and Johnson, guards with Lawler, Larson and Hall forwards. -t Meeks and Titsworth will be held in i reserve. The "Little Giant" lineup for ' Saturday night at Crawfordsville will be Hunt, Grimes; Spencer, forwards: Etter, center; Burns and Rowley, guards. , The final schedule with which Earlh!jm will close its final basketball chapter, is as follows: Indiana Dentals at Richmond February 21.

Bowling Tourneys Revive Interest in Game Among Richmond Pinmen

Interest among Richmond bowlers has revived, due to the return of a large number in the last few months, and to the etaging at this time of several tourneys. The old bowling league of the Twigg alley has been brought back to life and before an interested crowd of spectators, bowled the third game at the Twigg alley Tuesday night. According to C. N. Twigg, secretary of the City Bowling league, the rer crganization started the first of this month and now six teams are running strong. The rules governing the league announced by Twigg are as follows: . , Each team shall be averaged according to this season's averages of the individual, and 80 per cent of the difference between this average and 900 pins shall be given to the team as a handicap. .This handicap remains until the end of the first game at which time they are refigured according to the individual averages. In case the full team does not report for the game the "blind" will be given the average of the absent member, less 10 pins, providing his average be over 140 pins. Should any team fall on the night schedule to bowl, without giving the secretary 24 hours notice, it shall .forfeit its three games to the opposing team. Emergency cases are excepted. All league games shall start promptly at 8 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Twigg alleys. Last night much interest was shown by both the bowlers and the fans of the game who watched the results of the league. With the resumption of the ten pin pastime, and -the brilliant work of its players, followers of the bowling sport expect to see the teams representing Richmond land some HANS IS TEACHER; MAY BE POLITICIAN Hans Wagner, one of baseball fandom's greatest idols, has signed new kind of contract. 'He has accepted the position as physical director of Pittsburg Technical Institute and will be in charge of all ports.

Game - Wabash college basketballers are preparing for their one big game remaining on the schedule for this year, a Crawfordsville dispatch states. This one game is with DePauw on Thursday and the outcome will determine the Indiana secondary championship for 1919. Wabash, it is stated, has already clinched the I. C. A. L. championship. The Little Giants will play Earlham- on the , Crawfordsville floor next Saturday and they have no right to claim that they , have clinched the I. C. A. L. title until after that game is over, Quaker fans argue. Colored Basketball Team '. Loses to' Fountain City The Sunday Bchool Colored basketball league team lost to the Fountain City colored quintet last night at the Garfield gymnasium to the tune of 1516. The visiting team had the lead the entire game and they played in a superior fashion every minute. Close guarding featured the game. The first half ended with Fountain City in the lead, 5-4 and in the second period the locals were held to two points made from free throws. H. Thompson, of Fountain City, was the star of the game. If Willie Ritchie can show class in his proposed match with Champion Benny Leonard, he says he will re turn to the squared ring. FRANK T.

CPORT Snap Shots 'By JACK KEENE The appeal of Owner cnai lea u Comiskey of the White Sox, asking the national commission for a reopen ing of the case in which Pitcher Jack Quinn was awarded to the Yankees, has ben denied ly the commission. In the answer Chairman August Herrmann gives two reasons why the case should not be taken up again. One is that the Chicago club has failed to produce any new evidence that would tend to show the original verdict to be unfair, and the other is that Comiskey did not follow baseball rules in asking for a rehearing. A commission rule for years past has been that any owner not satisfied with a verdict must give notice of an appeal within ten days. after the finding is made. Herrmann gave his first decision on the Quinn case on August 26 last, and it -ag jugfc abQut fiy; monthg ,aier that Comiskey asked for the rehearing. Unless Comiskey should decide to take the case to the courts it is now regarded by the commission and the Yankees as a closed incident. Carl Weilman, the elongated southpaw who once starred with the St Louis BrtJwns, has sent word to Bobby Quiun that he believes he can stage "ta successful comeback and is anxious to make an attempt. Weilman's baseball career was halted two years ago by a serious surgical operation, the player being compelled to submit to the removal of a kidney. After recovering he went to his home near Detroit and was supposed to be through with baseball until his letter to Quinn indicated otherwise. Weilman has been working in a machine chop for several months and will soon begin gymnasium work to see if it is possible to indulge in strenuous exercise without experiencing any ill effects. If. so he will report to the Browns for a spring tryout. ASSIGN 8YERS TO PURDUE LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 19. Maj. Earl G.

Tearney's minor league meeting In Chicago Friday, when plans will be made for the Impending season, promises to attract a banner audience, and the outcome may be the r formation of a new Class B league. This was made evident when baseball men in six cities responded by stating they would be in attendance at Friday's conference. The cities to respond were Davenport, Moline, Hannibal, Bloomington, Terre Haute and Peoria. The replies were all encouraging, and to show th possibilities of organizing a league in the westernend of the Central league territory, are fully as bright as on the eastern end of the unorganized section. Other cities which are almost sure to be represented at the Chicago conclave are Decatur and Rockford. The addition of these two cities will round out an eight club circuit, and It Is possible Evansville will be represented ready to go out and form a Fans' association when a league is assured, also Quincy, Dubuque and Cedar Rapids may send delegates. President Ryan devoted his time to the situation in Decatur, and may take a run down to the Macon county metropolis before Friday. He has received - encouraging reports from a number of Fans there, and a St Louis syndicate said to have major eague backing Is willing to put a team into Decatur, providing the fans rally and render some aid in providing a park in a good location. Following the meeting in Chicago Friday, a committee from the western half of the territory will likely be appointed to attend the joint meeting of eastern and western club owners in Fort Wayne next Sunday. The entire baseball situation of the middle west should be worked out following the Fort Wayne meeting. Down at Terre Haute they are selling shares at $10 each to obtain funds for the club. Just how long the campaign of share selling will continue has not been announced, but it is a safe bet that it will continue until the Terre Haute Baseball. Fans' association Is assured, as well as a Central League baseball team in Terre Haute this season. No official totals have been given &Ji as yet by Postmaster John Cleary, chairman of the, Chamber of Com merce committee which is pushing the baseball movement as to the number of shares of stock that have been sold at $10 a share, but the amount, as is assured by the chairman, is past the 600 mark. . Business men of Canton gave professional baseball the cold shoulder this week. The proposal to form an Ohio league did not find favor, and citizens did not even take time to reply to a communication from Springfield touching on a meeting place. Not since 1913 has Canton had minor league baseball, the city then holding a franchise In the. Interstate league, with Babe Myers as manager. Springfield enthusiasts suggested the circuit be formed by Canton, Youngstown, Akron, Mansfield, Lima, Richmond, Ind., Dayton and Springfield. ' L C A. L. Standing

A call for a "Jubilee" convention of suffragists at St. Louis, March 24 to 28, has been issued by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association. Mrs. Catt said the purposes of the convention are to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the granting of woman suffrage by Wyoming and to pay tribute to the states which have conferred presidential suffrage on women during the last year. A third important feature of the. convention, she said, will be the formation of a "league of women voters," which will organize a campaign for national suffrage. Delegates from the fifteen full" suffrage states will attend the convention. Legalize Renting of Court House Rooms Renting of rooms in the Wayne county public buildings, which has been a practice in the past was legalized by a bill .signed by Governor Goodrich Tuesday, which authorized county commissioners to rent such rooms or buildings when they are not needed by the county.

-Continued From Page One.1 constantly , improve our i manufacturing and distributing processes to the advantage of both producer and consumer. The detailed methods, except in the manifest case of car antf stock yard control, - require - much more thought. "The activity of the food administration is necessarily founded on securing the largest ' service - and the least disruption and danger to distribution during this period of national

strain. To take such a radical step as to seibe the packers' branch houses for the war, would effect no permanent values and would surely disrupt distribution at this time. The packers are today performing their economic duties of preserving and distributing the meat supplies to our own population and the allies, as distinguished from . the social results of their organization, and the only outstanding question from a purely wln-the-war point of view is whether the packers are today Imposing- upon their competitors and whether their, remuneration is exorbitant . These are matters which can be remedied during the war by regulation and taxation. "I would, In any event, separate the whole problem Into a question as to what should be done as a war emergviv emuu niuii ouuutu w uuuo ao ce permanent solution of the whole question. , I do not feel that the government should undertake the solution of the problem by the temporary authority, conferred under the war powers of the railway and food admlnlstrations, which must terminate with peace, but rather that it should be laid before congress for searching consld- , eration, exhaustive ' debate and -development of public opinion Just as has been necessary in the development of the public Interest in our banks, insurance companies and railways."- . ,-',;" -" ' ' ARMOUR MAKES DEFENSE, ' CHICAGO, Feb. 19. J. Odgen Armour, president of Armour and company, in a statement issued relative to the report of Herbert Hoover, on the meat industry, said that he- did not feel- that 'Hoover's report was -based on a comprehensive knowledge of the packing industry, and that the report was written before the packers had had an opportunity to set forth the facts in the situation. "With his theory of regulation to prevent the packers' alleged incurk .1 . m i j emus iuiu luc geuerai iuuu ueia, lie says: I cannot agree and I call attention to his error in likening such regulation to- existing legislative .control of banks, railways and Insurance, companies. Banks, and insurance com panies are trustees of, other people's moneys, and railways are by . their inherent, character, public utilities. Regulation of the packers' , activities as Mr. Hoover suggests, involves our government entering upon a field of novel and radical legislation the de- t termining by law of the eomodities an individual corporation shall handle. That is Improper, un-American and an abridgement of the very rights, which Mr, Hoover says must be assured equality of opportunity and full .scope for initiative. - . "The part of Mr. Hoover's letter which should get. the most attention, in my opinion, is his admonition to give mature thought to the whole matter, before enacting legislation. Ma ture though and comprehensive understanding of the functions of the packing industry will bring conclusions in which the industry, Itself, can readily concur." . 4: : ;.f',f, With Single G., 1:581,4 confining his operations to the Great' Western circuit the coming season, Nat Ray, of Canada, belivese the old veteran Hay Boy will do for the Grand Circuit free-for-allB.
