HOT CONTESTS TO BE STAGED HERE TONIGHT

. Manual High Determined to Win Honors From Richmond. Two hotly contested basketball games will be staged at the Coliseum Friday night The first game of the double bill will be Manual Training high school and Richmond high game. The second feature will be the Earl- ' ham-Indiana Dental contest. Both games have created much Interest In the Richmond basketball world, the first due to the coming basketball tourney and the second owing , to Dentals-Butler game which ended in a fight. The Richmond high school boys have recently hit a steady form of training ' and will continue to train up to the time of the tourney; here, Match 7 and 8. Coach Eckel's ' team as usual Is light, while the Manual high basketbailers present a much heavier lineup than the Richmond boys. According to rumors coming from Indianapolis, Manual team places its prospects high for winning the game. Although the Indianapolis fans do ad- , mit that Richmond is going better ' than at the first of the season. The Richmond team Is In trim for a real scrap and will waste no time in taking the conceit out of the Manual basket shooters. Coach Eckel has strengthened his team considerably, . and Is doping them to win but to do o the Richmond Red and Whites will hare to put over a high grade of basketball full of pep and fire, as Manual la out for the trophy this year. Both Teams on Edge. The second game on the double bill at the Coliseum should if the dope sheet is right be a hot one. In the last game played by the Dents thi week with the Butler aggregation, the game went on the rocks and was call ed off, the Christian delegation alleging that the Dents did not play straight basketball. Coach Mowe's huskies are able to take care of themselres and will handle the Dental lineup with ease is the belief of the Richmond fans. Mowe has trained and built one of the largest teams Earlham college has ver placed on the basketball floor. Heavy and large, trained to a hair, the husky Earlham five will put up some of the best fights this week and the next erer seen on the Coliseum floor. Every night is practice for both the Richmond high five and the Quaker basketball passing machine. Both teams are on edge for Friday night's games. The lineup will be as follows, Richmond high school: Van Allen, Stegman, Porter, forwards; Dollins, center, and Price, Eversman, guards. Earlham will start the game with Lawler and Larsh at forward, Carey, center, and Pitts and Johnson at guard. Meeks ' will be In condition to play. Saturday night the Earlham squad will go to Crawfordsville where one of the toughest games this season will be played by the Quakers and Wabash aggregations. Next Wednesday night Coach Eckel's proteges meet the fast Fountain City five on the Coliseum floor. The coach has his team doped as the runnerup in the district tourney. Fountain had a one man team last year but even then did some good work in the district tourney. Wednesday night's game is expected to present what the Red and White are . up against. HORTENSE IS OFF A. A. U. FOR LIFE Friend Gertrude: I'm so perturbed my heart is going flutter-flutter. You know, last fall Oswald decided to become a Javelin thrower. Folks Just went crazy about the way he threw the weights around and Jumped and they coaxed bim to be a Javeler. I bought him the dearest little Javelin got it at Smith's for $2.39. Now the horrid amateur athletic union has gone and changed the Javelin rules. They're going to make Harold throw It by holding It in the middle instead of at the front end. And I Just know the Javelin I bought him wont do at all now. If it won't Harold can quit and let their old Javeling fall flat. HORTENSE. Other eastern colleges are expected to follow Pennsylvania in limiting all athletes to three years of competition la the future.

Hank Gowdy. It's a safe bet that "Lank Dank" Gowdy of Columbus, O., will be tbe big idol of baseball fans this season. Gowdy, who rose to the pinnacle of baseball fame by bis work in the 1914 world series, was the first big leaguer to volunteer his services in the war. The fact that he has been over the ;p many times, was promoted and commended for bravery and tops it all With a winning personality will make fandom strong for him.

SMALL TOWN TEAMS DISTURB DOPE ON STATE BASKETBALL TOURNEY THIS YEAR

Basketball dope presents one of the most tangled and despairing affairs this year. With the mild weather all winter many small town teams have had ex cellent chances to get in a good deal of practice and are showing that they have profited thereby. Every day sees some old favorite in the state taken down by a smaller team. The fast favorites for the last two years have been Lebanon, Crawfords ville, Anderson, Bloomington, Gary, and Emerson. But now comes Lizton, Advance and Thornton hailing from small "bush towns" claiming the consideration of the fan. Earlier in the season, Lizton defeated Lebanon and Advance has defeated Lizton. All three of these teams have good records behind ;era. Never has a "bush town" aggregation had such a chance to cop the state honors since the days of Homer Stonebreaker who carried the Wingate basket five through to state honors for two consecutive seasons. . In those days the basketball tour ney's were built on the "survival of the fittest" plans which did not give the lighter teams any chance to cop the tourney. In 1915 Thorntown upset the dope bucket and landed the state championship. Fountain City Strong Since the Btate basketball tourna ment started at Bloomington in 1911, the following teams have held the state honors: Lebanon was the first; Crawfordsville came through the following year and then Stonebreaker's aggregation held it two years. At this time the basketball rules were changed and district tourneys were held. Under this new system which was supposed to equalize matters so that a light team would have as much chance as its heavier opponents, Thorntown high five took the honors, 1915. In 1916, Jefferson high of Lafayette, came m for its share of the state honors. In 1917, Lebanon came back and now has held the tourney for the third time. In the district tourney held here, Friday and Saturday, March 7 and S, Fountain City locally seems to be the strongest contenders for the district pennant. Little i3 known of what Brookville, winner of 1916, will do this year. Liberty of course, is trying to stay in the dark. Liberty has annexed its usual long list of games won and is presenting them as proof of its ability to annex the district honors. Connersville has been going strong. February 1, Connersville took Richmond and within a few days Liberty annexed a long score against the Connersville aggregation. Rushville at the first of ,the season was not going strong, but as a usual thing the downSTOMACH UPSET?

state team develops into a surprisingly strong quintet in the district tourneys. Whether Manilla will be back to this tourney is not definitely known. It is to be supposed that the husky Manilla team will be sent to a nearer district tourney. If Manilla does return, that team will present one of the strongest ' aggregations to go in for the district honors this year, as it will have nearly j the same lineup of the previous year. Five "Big Ten" Teams on Iowa Baseball Schedule IOWA CITY, la., Feb. 21 Five "Big Ten" conference baseball games are included in this season's schedule of i the University of Iowa. Seven of last : year's players are back in school and considerable promising material has shown itself among last season's fresh- ; men. j There Is a complete infield of veter- ! tns, but so far no high calibre catcher I has been discovered. Hamilton and ' Belding will be the mainstays on th pitching staff. The schedule as arranged so far Includes these games: April 25 Purdue at Indiana. April 26 Illinois at Urbana. ' May 1 Illinois at Iowa City. May 17 Notre Dame at Iowa City. May 19 Michigan at Iowa City. May 23 Notre Dame at Notre Dame. May 24 Michigan at Ann Arbor. Attempts Reorganization Of Garfield Athletics Garfield athletics this year have been considerably on the blink, due first to the "flu" conditions and now owing to the fact that the playground will not be repaired and possibly not put into use. Lyman Lyboult, director of athletics will attempt a re-organization of the athletic work there. A few basketball games are being played but no regular league was organized this year. The Junior High school track boys will get together this year and select their thinly clad chiefs soon. Every effort will be made to revive interest in sports among the smaller boys. However, under the conditions, Lyboult can do little. Dr. W. H. Buechner, Youngstown, Ohio, hecently refused $20,000 for his trotting mare WTllkes Brewer, 2:05. MUCH RHEUMATISM Local Druggist's No-Cure No-Pay Offer Attracts Many Sufferers. If there are any rheumatic sufferers in town who have not availed themselves of this generous offer should do so at once. They state that ir Rheuma, the guaranteed prescription for rheumatism, does not give any purchaser quick and Joyful relief, they will return the purchase price without any quibbling or red tape. Rheumatism is a dangerous disease, and anyone who has the slightest taint of it should drive it from the system as soon as possible. Read what Rheuma did for this sufferer: "I had been laid up for one year with chronic arthritis. I had doctors galore, also spent four months in the sanitarium hospital at Troy, N. Y. but had practically no relief. Then I started taking Rheuma. I have now taken five bottles, and can go without crutches or other aid, which I could not do for the last nine months.. I highly recommend it, and would gladly answer any questions asked, on receipt of stamp for postage. This letter may be published as a benefit to sufferers from rheumatism in any form." Thomas H. Eddy, Schuylerville, N. Y. Good druggists everywhere sell Rheuma. A large bottle is inexpensive. Adv.

NEW MINOR BASEBALL LEAGUE LAUNCHED TODAY IN CHICAGO

The launching of a new minor baseball league in the middle West was in order at Chicago today.'. The meeting was scheduled for the Palmer House and Al Tearney was to preside. The Ft. Wayne meeting arranged by Bert Noblett of Grand Rapids has been postponed until March 2. The desire of those behind the movement to have the cities interested properly lined up prior to the meeting so that everything, including the election of a president , and the adoption of the schedule, can be made ready for the start of the season at the one gathering, is given as the reason for the postponement. From seven to ten cities of the western territory were to be at Chicago Rockford, Davenport, Moline, Peoria, Bloomington, Terre Haute and Hannibal are sure to have delegates on the Job. A.- E. Staley, the Peoria starch king, and baseball enthusiast of Decature, is in Chicago and expects to be in attendance. Dubuque, Cedar Rapids and Quincy are other cities which may be represented. The Proposed Loop. The circuit favored by a majority of the club owners includes Terre Haute and Evansville or Terre Haute and Decatur on the south end, Peoria and Bloomington in this section, Davenport and Hannibal on the west and Moline and Rockford on the north. If these arrangements cannot be completed, Dubuque will be eligible on the north to pair with Rockford and Quincy may be whipped into line on the west to pair with Hannibal. President Ryan will favor a schedule of 140 games, the season opening early in May and closing in September. He will also favor a player and salary limit, but is not in favor of putting them so low that it will cheapen the class of baseball. Grand Rapids Is still hammering Ryan. A dispatch from that city says: "The very fact that nearly fifteen cities, scattered in four "states, are ready to bid for places, is convincing proof that there is a general demand for the game. Politics, of course, must be brought into play to serve 'em all. In the effort to make sure that their respective cities are not overlooked, magnates in some of the towns havent stopped at any thing that might possibly cut off their former associate club owners. "We refer to reorganization plans bred at Peoria. When representatives from six cities met at Indianapolis recently, an attempt was made to railroad through some sort of an organMichigan Football Star Lies Buried Near Rhine DETROIT, Feb. 21. On the slope of a hill 200 yards from the point where the rivers Rhine and Moselle meet, Just east of Coblestz, Germany, is the j grave of Lieut.-Col. Curtis G. Redden ' "Cap" Redden, as he was known to ! T.T?ohfprQTl mon in Vi -i Hove ttrhan Vnv made football history at Ann Arbor. . Communications Just received here described the simple but impressive funeral services of Redden, who was one of the greatest football players Michigan ever knew. As lieutenantcolonel of the 149th .field artillery, he f risked his life in battle only to suci cumb to pneumonia after the army of occupation began its march into ; Germany. i With an escort of more than 600 enlisted men besides the officers of the ; 149th and the 67th artillery brigade of which the regiment was a part, the cortege passed through Coblentz with Redden's liorse, "Sergeant," taking the place of honor immediately behind the run carriage bearing the flag-draped casket. In line with the custom in military, funerals, the dead officer's boots were in the stirrups with toes pointing to the rear. At the grave three volleys were fired by an infantry squad, and a bugler sounded the plaintive notes of "taps." Lieut. Col. Redden's home was in Danville, 111., pd it was there he first became identified with the national guard. He served at the Mexican border and when the national guard divisions were assembled for service in France, he was among the first to leave for overseas. Big Ten Standing Won Lost Pet.

They had apparently been forgotten altogether in the enthusiasm of the organizers from Peoria." -Every disinterested fan wonders why Grand Rapids is knocking so hard

now. No representative of the club at tended the Indianapolis meeting and no enthusiasm was shown there until Bert Noblett believes he is the Moses who will lead tbe Central league out of the wilderness into , an organized circuit of strong club, .he has his chance now. - Ryan has refrained from knocking Noblett or the Western end of the territory. All he wants is action. It's up to Noblett now to make good with his reorganization scheme. LOCAL BOWLERS ARE OUTCLASSED AT STATE TOURNEY Richmond bowling teams have been pushed out of the money in the classified bowling tournament ending at Indianapolis, Sunday. Both the Twigg bowling team and the Progress Hat are out of it now. Indianapolis in Class B outclassed them. However, Richmond thus far leads outside cities in total team scores. The returns on the double and single events of the pin knights has not been received yet. Richmond bowlers are of the belief that some of the winners will stay in these two events. King and Bennett did hold first place In the double of Class B events and Youngflesh annexed second in the singles. These places have been reduced since the Richmond pin men bowled.
