FOUNTAIN CITY
DOPED TO GIVE STRONG BATTLE
May Prove Runner-up for District TourneyMeets Locals Wednesday. The coming Fountain City and Richmond basketball game, to be staged at the Coliseum Wednesday lias created much interest among Richmond followers of the casing game. A largo delegation is expected to accompany Fountain City's team to Richmond. Fountain basket shooters
have been hitting the trail hard this year and if the record of games won and lost is to be believed will put up some little scrap on the Coliseum floor. v ; Many of the Richmond followers of the basketball sport are doping the .Fountain City aggregation as the runner up in the district tourney to be held here March 7 and 8. If that is the case' the game Friday night will throw some light on to what Richmond may be up against this year. Coach Eckel has put his proteges .through the paces and is now "driving j( In what changes have been made. Last if Friday's game showed a decided imf provement over the earlier playing of the Red and White basket tossers, but still leave room for improvement. With a man like Rice of Manual making bis long shots the Richmond team would be helpless. ' Doped as Possible Winner. Dolllns, the high school center came through for his share of the biggest honors last Friday, demonstrating bis ability to bold down the center position. Van Allen showed his old-time fighting spirit and with Price, Eversman and Porter coming through with their share of the work the Richmond team should put up a fight that the Fountain City boys will find hard to defeat. ' Little is known of the strength of the Fountain City aggregation except that it is supposed to be strong and considered a possible winner. Last Wednesday night it defeated the Cambridge City five at Fountain City. Dope on tho results of the other district tourneys to be held at other trntors is hard to determine. At Bloomington, the Bloomington team crushed the smaller Washington teem to a 44 to 20 score. Thornton hammered the fa6t Tech of Indianapolis five to a 38 to 21 tune. The state champs of 1918 went up against Coach Stagg's proteges at Anderson Friday night and came out with the old dope bucket very much battered up. The score end 22 to 15 in favor of Anderson. Anderson led at the end of the first half 13 to 4, but in the latter part of the second half Lebanon is accredited with making a sensational rally. Crawfordsvllle won from Jefferr,on of Lafayette by a 21 to 9 Bcore, and DarV lington took tho Advance five in a ten minute overtime game, 20 to 18, which ' places Darlington" among the possible state champions.

FANS INTERESTED IN MATTY'S PLANS
r, i
Capt. Christy Mathewson. This photograph of Christy Mathewson, famous pitcher, was mapped on his recent, arrival in New York from overseas service. Mathewson was let out as manager of the Reds when Garry Herrmann failed to hear from him concerning his plans. Matty may rejoin the Giants as eoach, but has not announced his clans as yet.
RYAN WELCOMES MOVEMENTS OF RIVAL LEAGUE PROMOTERS
RANDOM C
PORT NOTEu
Miller Huggins of the Yankees is still hunting for a bang-up outflelder for his club, although discouraged over the prospects of landing Bobby Roth of the Indians. Hug says that he has been offered several gardeners, but in each case the club has demanded one of hl3 pitching stars. Hug can't see disposing of any of his crackerjack moundmen, despite the fact that he has a sideshow full of them. Huggins has a squad of outfielders now, but only two of them are there with the bat Bodie and Lewis wielded the willow with ranch emphasis last season. Elmer Miller, however, isn't strong at the plate. He is a valuable player because of his ground covering ability, but Huggins would like to strengthen his batting order. Huggins has shown that he can get most any player he wants If put to the test Last season he wanted Ping Bodie. He offered Connie Mack
cash, but the tall one wanted a star
player in exchange So Huggins found
out what player Connie desired and got him."- That-fan was George Burns
of the Tigers. Huggins bought him and then swapped him for Ping.
At least two of the Yankee outfielders will not be with the team this season, it is well known now. Armando Marsans has gone back to 'Cuba. Hugh High was suspended last season when he refused to transfer his trunk to the Athletics. He has not made up as yet.
Huggins has George Halaa, yoifng college star, Sam Vick and Bill Lamar. They were given tryouts last season and later joined the service. . Jim Cooney is only a substitute inflelder of the Red Sox and he never
has had any major league experience J
wortne mentioning, yet ne appears to be in big demand. Garry Hermann is trying to buy him to fill the short field berth on the Cincinnati Reds, but he finds out that it will be next to impossible to get the player out of the American league. Clark Griffith and Jimmy Burke are said to be prepared to claim the player If waivers are asked. Griff being a bit shy on infield taken since Johnny Lavan retired from the game. At any rate, Cooney soems assured of a place in the majors this season, something that cannot be said of most substitutes at this time. The fear expressed in some quarters that Jess Barnes, because of hi3 few months of service in the army, may be unfitted to resume his place as one of the leading pitchers of ,the National league, is not entertained by John McGraw. Barnes was not sent overseas, and though the life he has led since early last summer has been that of the average doughboy in training, there is no reason to believe that he has fallen into a rut. On the contrary, it is reasonable to believe that he has benefitted greatly by his training, and that he has put on some needed weight, which will add to his effectiveness as a boxman. Barnes pitched for Camp Funston team for the greater part of the summer and was In wonderful form at the close of the season. He is now stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. Tom Kennedy, one of the first flock of "white hopes." now is located at Los Angeles, where he has opened a restaurant and is prospering mightily. Kennedy met with considerable success during his career in the ring. He defeated Carl Morri3 when Moris was at the height of his fame. He also outpointed Al Palzer wben Palzer was
at his best. Kennedy's downfall came when he met Bombardier Wells in a bout in the Garden. Wells knocked him out with a right hooks to the jaw when the Englishman was on the point of being defeated himself. Kennedy retired from the ring after that and went into the movies. ,
John C. Ryan, of the Peoria club, who, a few days ago, started the movement for a mid-western states baseball league, seems to be able to absorb in his promotion plans several would-be rival movements. At least he is directing things to avert clashes and handicaps and says the bobbing up of the plans of Al Tearney, president of the old Three ! and of. Louie Heilbronner of Fort Wayne are all to the good. "The calling of the Three-I meeting for Friday in Chicago," he said, "is in line with the policy suggested by a number of owners to form two Class B circuits." He also says he postponed the second meeting of the projected Central League and that there might be a conference, and reaching of an understanding between magnates from the western part of the territory and those from the eastern part. Bert Noblett' Plan. After the meeting of a few weeks ago at Indianapolis there bobbed up a plan, attributed to Bert Noblett of Grand Rapids and Heilbronner of Fort Wayne, to form a circuit independent of the Peoria man's ideas, with Grand Rapids, Muskegon, South Bend. Fort Wayne, Richmond, Dayton and Springfield as possible members. Terre Haute promoters say that Heilbronner got active after he learned at the Indianapolis meeting that he could not be league president. He had been ousted as president of the Central several years ago. Ryan, no doubt, has learned that there is little prospect of Dayton and Springfield entering the league. Joe Tinker was counted upon to back the Dayton club, but he is out of patience with quarreling factions there. Springfield, with Fred Hunter of the Pirates as manager, is ready to take a franchise" if Dayton is in the circuit; otherwise not. So far there is no sign of real money backing in any Michigan town and South Bend is listless unto death. Hence it is that the astute Mr. Ryan is looking pleasant and denying that he regards Noblett and Heilbronner as trouble makers. He believes in a circuit for the western half of the territory, with Peoria Bloomington, Decatur, Hannibal. Davenport, Moline, Rockford, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Evansville and Terre Haute to draw upon for eight franchises. A compact circuit is possible with mileage 800 to 1,000 less than in the old Central. Terre Haute Subscribes The Terre Haute fans are subscribing freely for the 1,500 shares of stock at $10 each. Rufus Gilbert, formerly manager of the Terre Haute club and
wha has been promoted at Rose Polytechnic from coach to physical director and taken on as part of the school's regular organization because of his general ability, is looking after. Terre Haute's interests at the preliminary meetings. i.. . v ; The Chamber of Commerce requisitioned his services in this regard. He has steadily developed from a ball club manager into one of Terre Haute's most '"useful" citizens in all public movements, from war work to sport' V";:V'
WABASH REQUIRED TO MEET QUAKERS A return game must be played between Earlham ; and Wabash before Wabash can count the Ea.Viair;, defeat in its laurels for the I. C. A. I. title according to the league by-laws. The ruling states that all return games must be played. Whether or not the I. C. A. L. had made arrangements for just such a case or not the Earlham basketball enthusiasts feei that Townsend's stand that he could not date a future game with Earlham because his dates were full would have been unsportsmanlike. This year the Quaker machine has been, going strong and would have put up a close fight on. the Crawfordsville floor. Attempts are being made to set the game for next month. Earlham college fans are confident that the team will come out on top. A number of state basketball men have placed Earlham as having the best basketbail team in the I. C. A. L.
Camden High Loses Game to Hamilton by Four Points CAMDEN. O.. Feb. 24.

The Camden scoring machine led the first half with a 21 to 17 score, but in the second half new men added on the part of the Hamilton coach greatly strengthened his chances of scoring. The Camden boys were handicapped on account of the floor. Jordan and Neff ' were the individual stars for Camden. Camden will play in Cincinnati basketball tourney next Friday and Saturday.

'There isn't any reason why Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Fort Wayne, with possibly Richmond's aid, can't have their reorganization ambitions fulfilled to their own satisfaction before it's too late. "Announcement from Muskegon that Marsh Field will be offered for sale within the next two weeks doesn't leave much time to perfect a definite line of action. Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne subscribe to Bert Noblett's ideas cn reorganization and are ready to take franchises." ' W?hy doesn't Noblett provide the

Big, Demand The demand for Nash Quad Trucks and Nash Passenger Cars has induced us to represent this famous line in this territory. Although the Nash Quad is identified with difficult transportation problems, its economy and efficiency are just as pronounced in ordinary hauling service. Its fame is world-wide. , In the United States and in twenty-three different foreign countries in practically every commercial use it is giving excellent satisfaction. ' u : Exceptional Performance There is perhaps no other single truck in the world as widely and as favorably known fof its ability in extra difficult hauling service as is the NashQuad, which drives brakes and steers on all four wheels. Unusual Power Where the demand is for a truck of exceptional power and stamina with unusual ability to negotiate bad roads and difficult trips, there the Quad easily establishes its superiority. On the frontiers where roads are poor, in the logging camps of the Northwest, in burly work in the. big cities, everywhere where trucking is extra difficult the Nash Quad has proved its merit. Proven Merits It has proved its merit in the oil fields, in the mining camps, ia road construction work in the service of big contractors and in difficult moving and draying. At any unusual hauling task, the Nash Quad is without a superior.' And it performs equally well where roads are good and conditions are normal. Its efficiency in this less difficult service in comparison with fear driven trucks is equally pronounced. v ; .
