FRANKLIN WINS

EARLKIAU GAME BY FAST PLAY Quakers Show Poor Form in Game Last Night Score Ends 33 to 29. In a whirlwind of password with a thrill in every minute of the game, basketball fans Wednesday night saw Earlham college basketball five forced to bow before the more aggressive spirit of tho Franklin basketball quintet, by the score of 32 to 29. . In the last few minutes of play the Quaker fought hard to gain a lead, forcing the Frankllnltes to extend themselves to hold the edge they had gained. The game was fast and a hard fought scrimmage through and through. In the very first few mluutes of play Franklin started the ball Into action, making several rapid pas es before the Earlham aggregation could stop the machine. Until the last ten minutes of the last half tne Quakers were unable to get together . in their usual form of play. Earlham pusswork was the greatest disappointment to the local fans. Funble after fumble was made and time and time " again a player would find the ball io . his hands and no place to put It, so U strong was the Franklin defensive. The conditions under which Earlham has been playing, quarantined at Bundy hall for five days, has taken the snap out of the Quakers and accounts for the Jinx which seemed to ' Lave hold of them Wednesday night, i None of the men were in form: Score First Hale In the first half Franklin and Karlham held, possession of the ball about un equal amount of time but ihe Quakers made- their time count. Lawler opened the scoring with a field soon to be followed by Hall. Two personal fouls made by Pitts, allowed Franklin to count two points and a little later tie the score and then take a two-point lead. Hall of Earlham tied the score again and then gained the lead, only to lose It a little later. The first half ended 17 to 14. With a three point lead to start them off, Earlham slowed noticeably In the second half and the Thurberites not only tied the. score again but passed the Quakers, never again to allow them the lead. With the score 19 to 20 (n favor of Franklin, the close defense of the Franklin players held the Earlham men down with fast pass work and good work of the entire scoring machine, the score grew to' 19 to 28 before the Maroon and White could rally. ,- Meek Put In Time out called by Earlham in an endeavor to get together and the addition of Meeks a little later added pep to the last few minutes of play; which seemed to put the Quaker machine well on its way to victory. Earl-! ham's last minute attempt brought the score from the 19 mark to 26 before i - Franklin managed to stop them and! s again get in some markers. ;Whenj the last shot was fired, and not until. ; the Quakers gave up to the Franklin-' ites to the score of 3S to 29. ; .

i The Frenchles and the Aces were In tourh luck Wednesday night in tho Garfield basketball league of large boys at the Garfield gym. The Daisies defeated the Frenchles by a 13 to 1 score, while tho Pirates made the Aces walk the plank to a regular C, freezsout, the score being 9 to 0. ' , In the other two games the teams ' vta-e more evenly matched. The Lilies held the big end of a 14 to 10 score against the Earlham team, whil the Vampires walked away from the Marines with a 13 to 5 result. - In tiie first half the Frenchies were unable to score. Clark, In the secv ond half annexed the one point in a free throw. . Rizlo and Kessler were the star men for the Daisies. In the freeze-out game Colvln led the scoring with three points, the rest being divided. In the next game Good did the scoring for the Vampires and Mathrews for the Marines. The best game of the evening was between tho Lilies and Earlham. The scoring was about even. Accuracy of Bentlage of Earlham at the free throwing trick, and Sauter of the Lily team, was the feature of the bame. Deny Athletic Break

Wtth Indiana Dentals Rumors that Earlham and State Normal colleges would sever athletic relations with Indiana Dentals as a result ot the fight arising in the Dental-Butler game last week are unfounded according to Dr. Brown of Dental college. Immediately upon learning the rumor that Earlham and State Normal were considering severing athletic relations telegrams were sent to both schools to learn the situation. Coach Ray B. Mowe sent the following answer: "Just read Saturday's News. Earlham has no complaint ot treatment received by Dentals. It Is not our intention to severe athletic relaons." The Dentals place the blame on the Butler back guard and the yell leader. The game was rough and spirited and ended with the Butler students mixing in the fray. Butler broke athletic relations with the Dentals a tew days later.

Joe Schultz Cost Cardinals Almost . a Whole Team; Here's the Dope

." ' - JOE SCHULTZ ; By N. E. BROWN. THE St. Louis Cardinals recently gave Kansas City seven ball players almost a whole team for one player, Joe Schultz. Schultz may make good in the National and he may not. But one must view him about the tame as folks in a western town sized up Lem's new wife. A few days after she arrived the town noticed that Lena had quit drinking, gambling and running around nights. Little was known about the new Mrs. Lem, but one old sage summed it up when he said: t "She may not be good lookin' aid we don't know , much about her disposition, but anyone who can handle Lem must amount to something." The Cards' owners x wouldn't swap a flock of players whatever their caliber for Joe unless they figured he was ripe to shine in the big show.

HAS RECEIVED TRIALS IN NATIONAL LEAGUE ' Schultz Is ordinarily a second baseman. He has been up before, but failed to stick. National league followers may recall that he received a trial with the 'Braves in 1913. Manager tailings announced soon after Joe's arrival, that he was the greatest young player he had seen in years. Stalling found him playing with Akron, Ohio. , . Evidently Schultz failed to live up to George's prediction, for Stallings soon sent him back to the minors. He came back again two years later. In 1915 with Brooklyn, and later with Chicago, he hung' up a batting average of .2S9 In 128 games. The Cubs sold him to Pittsburgh, where he played the major part ot the 1916 season. According to the old dope book he participated in seventy-seven games and batted .260. Ten of his fifty-three hits that short season were extra-base wallops, a fair average. '"" . " Last season found him with the Kan

RICHMOND HIGH CLEANS UP ON FOUNTAIN CITY BY 55-14 SCORE

Showing a greater aggressive spirit and extending themselves in every department of the game the Richmond high school basketball team played the Fountain City basketball five to a standstill Wednesday night on the Coliseum floor. The northern visitors fought hard but were helpless in handling the Richmond basketball crew. The final score of the game was 56 to 14. In the first minute of play the Richmond basketballers started a system of rapid passes that kept the Fountain City basket shooters bewildered throughout the game. Richmond was especially strong in guarding against short shots by the Fountain lads. VanAUen and Dollins divided the scoring honors, each making six goals. vn Allan on a free throw dropped the leather through the hoop in the first minutes of play and a minute later Eversman scored two points. Dollins fouled and Thomas of Fountain made a try at the netting count. Fountain City next gained the ball and worked it down the floor only to have it sent back by Dollins. A fumble by Stegman caused an opportunity to pass .by. A minute later Stegman recovered the chance he had passed and added two points. Throughout the entire game, VanAUen, Dollins and Price moving fast intercepted the northern boys passes and carried the ball into the territory of Richmond's goal. The latter part of the halt slowed down Fountain City only annexing the four points made early in the game against the Red and White's 22 markers. , Fast In Second Half. In the second half Fountain City fought valiantly but to no avail as the local cagers ran up lour nem martcers in rapid succession against one field and two free throws by Fountain City men.' This scoring was soon followed by a rapid succession of goals by Eversaian, VanAUen and Dollins. Coach Eckel substituted Porter for Stegman and then the brunt of the shooting fell to the hands of the old high star, who came through in the time that he was in the game with five field shots. Vore a new man was sent in for VanAUen on the team this year though light in weight stuck to the game and added two more markers for the Richmond high, school basketball team. In this half Fountain City extended itself the hardest and tried to give an evener touch to the game. Thomas of Fountain pulled the sensation of the evening when he made two points by a one handed shot from the center of the floor. Even though Richmond had the game won after the first few minutes of the first half at no time did the

sas City club, where he made a bid for another trial in the big show. He played in sixty-six games and batted six points inside the charmed circle. While primarily an inflelder, he showed up well in the outfield for the Blues last season. STARS IN MINORS BUT FAILED IN BIG SHOW The fact that Schultz has failed to produce the goods on his other big league trials is against him this time. Off hand one would think that he belongs to the class of players who prove wonders In the minors but cannot stand the major league pace. Their name is legion. . An injured arm has handicapped him at times in his career. It may be that this arm is o. k. now. What makes Schultz look good, though, Is the fact that Branch Rickey than whom no' better judge of a ball player lives decided that Schultz was worth seven players. It isn't once in a blue moon that one player bring3 seven. local cagers relinquish the pressure they were bringing to bear on their antagonists. . Every man on the Richmond high school team played the entire game with more pep, speed and used their brains throughout the game in dislodging the Fountain City quintet, which came here Wednesday night heralded as the logical runner-up In the district tourney. The final result was 56-14. The score: FOUNTAIN CITY . Gls. Fls. Msd. Pts.

Richest Events in (J. S. At Churchill Downs (By Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 27. In the list of stakes announced for the nineteen day spring race meeting at Churchill Downs are two of the richest events to be run in 'America; They are the Kentucky Derby, to be run Saturday, May 10, and the Kentucky Handicap to be run Saturday, May 24. The Derby with 120,000 added money is the richest event to be contended for this year by three-year-olds exclusively, and this gives it the greatest value in the forty-five years history of this classic. The total value of the Derby with entry and starting fees will be about $25,0000. The .Kentucky Handicap until this year has been run at Douglas Park, but was transferred to Churchill Downs when the syndicate of . Kentucky horsemen, which recently was formed to consolidate all the Kentucky tracks under one ownership, decided to operate but one track this year. The Handicap will carry $10,000 added money.

INDIANA AND OHIO BASEBALL MEN MEET AT CINCINNATI

And now Richmond is invited to enter a third league. Elmer Eggemeyer and Joe Hill, representing the Richmond club, are in Cincinnati today attending a baseball meeting called by Elmer Reddell of Springfield. A revival of the old Indiana-Ohio league may result. Springfield has never abandoned the , plan of the Chamber of Commerce to form a loop of Ohio cities with Richmond as the only Indiana city in the circuit. " v ' Lima did not warm up to the Central .league overture, but is anxious to get into an Ohio league. Dayton and Springfield also seem"" wary of getting into either the Noblett or the Ryan circuits. Richmond has never committed itself. f . Confusion Appers. In the meantime, affairs of the old Central are become somewhat confused. : Bert-Noblett 'of Grand Raplds, in a letter to the Richmond club received today, emphatically urges that representatives be sent- to the Fort Wayne meeting next Sunday. Another rumor says the meeting has been called off and may be held on March 16. In the western section of the old Central territory, Ryan is bending every effort to line up a compact circuit. A. R. Tearney has assured Ryan that he will stand by the organization formed at Chicago last Friday until it is going, even if he has accepted the presidency of the Western league. - Evansville Situation. .Evansville will see Clarence Rowland's Milwaukee club training there this spring, which strengthens the beUef that a minor league team will represent the "pocket" in 1919. The Terre Haute fan's association is trying to dispose of 1,500 shares of stock at $10 each to finance a team in that city this year. Mori decai Brown, manager, says he will ! not only direct the team but will also ; do some of the hurling. - J. J. Frost, a representative in the Michigan legislature, has announced his willingness , to back a team In Muskegon. Goes to Coast League. Outfielder Frank Edington, leading batter of the Grand Rapids team In 1917, has been awarded to Bill.Essick's Vernon club of the Coast league. Edington was drafted by Memphis, following the close of the 1917 season, a year in which he finished with a .325 batting average for 127 games, securing-more bases on balls than any other player in the all-time history of the league, and generally was one of Essick's greatest allies in landing the championship for the Michigan city. Before Eddington could come to terms with Memphis he had been drafted by Uncle Sam. Eddington won CAMBRIDGE HAS HOPES OF TAKING DISTRICT HONORS CAMBRIDGE CITY, Feb. 27. With weight and a good record behind it, the Cambridge basketball team is going to the district tournament next Friday, March 7, with the expectation of winning, according to O. C. Hill, Cambridge City's basketball coach. Cambridge commands a heavy team, far outweighing the Richmond high school five. The Cambridge City team has passed through a very successful season this year, Coach Hill said, making its last win from Lewisville last week, at Lewisville. Lewisville has beat Spiceland and Spiceland in turn has defeated both the Newcastle and Shortridge teams, "so that puts us with the best teams of central Indiana," the coach said. The lineup and weight of the Cambridge City men are as follows: O. Furgason. f, 175; H. Ellsbury, f, 160; F. Frohnsppel, c. 158; W. Daniels, g, 180; R. Broughner, g, 160; R. Cornthwaite, g, 159; C. Ward, f, 145; P. Furgason, sub, 150. Besides being a heavy team Cambridge City personnel contains four men who have played on basketball team - before. Furgason, Ellsbury, Frohnappcl, Broubhner and Daniels are not new men in the basketball field. Coach Hill said. "We are eypeeting to win the tournament this year. I know we are in "A" shape to start into the fray and will show the other teams a good time." EATON WILL MEET ARCANUM PLAYERS EATON,, O., Feb. 27. Eaton High meets Arcanum High school at basketball here Friday night As a preliminary to the game, the local high school second and third teams will play and two teams made up of girls from the schools will play. Bethel Team Will Meet Fountain City The Bethel M. E. colored basketball team, of Richmond will travel to Fountain City Saturday evening, where it will play the Fountain City colored basketball team. Fountain City defeated the Richmond basket shooters here some time ago and Coach Dennis' proteges are going to Fountain this week to avenge the defeat. - A large crowd of rooters will accompany the team. . Coach Dennis announced Thursday that he did not know what men he would take to Fountain City yet but that he would have a strong lineup. Mordecai Says His Arm Is As Good As Ever TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 27. Mordecai Brown who will manage the Terre-Haute baseball team next season, admits that he will be hurUng 'em over the field next season as well as managing the team. This will make Brown a player-manager. He states that his arm has never gone back on him. .

a commission as first lieutenant. Secretary Farrell has not been advised whether or not Lieutenant Edington Is still in the army. His home is In Lyons, Ind. - Other Central leaguers who have moved up are: Paul Carpenter, exGrand Rapids star, whose release to Toledo is officially reported. - Fred Bratchi, the outfielder, once with Muskegon, is released by purchase to Memphis, by Indianapolis. Jesse Haines, the pitcher who played such a prominent part in the success of Elmer Reddell's teams at Springfield, is released by purchase to Hutchinson of the Western league, by the Cincinnati Nationals.

I. C. A. L. BASKET HONORS WILL BE HELD BY GIANTS Prospects Give Little Hope of First Place in League for Quaker Team. - With the Earlham-Wabash game scheduled to be played last Saturday cancelled, giving . Wabash the lead, Butler basket-ball team will have an opportunity to change the I. C. A. L. situation when it meets the "Little Giants" next Saturday night. Such a mlxup would place Earlham and Wabash on an even break as far as games won and lost are concerned, but still would not give Earlham the I. C. A. L. girdle as Wabash has defeated Earlham at the Coliseum and to date there are no more games scheduled between Wabash and Earlham, so unless Coach Townsend chooses to play another game. Wabash has the title cinched. Even though Earlham had added the FrankUn game to its string of games won and, Butler defeats the Wabash aggregation Saturday night, Earlham would still have no claim on the I. C. A. L. pennant according to the league rules. Game Not Probable. , The probabilities are that Butler will not spring a "comeback" and the standing of the two colleges will remain the same, unless Earlham can play a game later in the season and tie Wabash for the honors. Coach Mowe will attempt to book a game with vV abash, but at present the Wabash coach is. cold on the subject and cannot see it that way. Next year it is thought that thu I. C. A. L. champion will not hold his claims on such slender threads as has been al lowed previously. ,? This will be over come by;, holding a tournament at one of the colleges about the same time the track meet is held. Dayton To Be Represented At Central League Meet In Fort Wayne, Sunday DAYTON, Ohio. Feb. 27. Word re ceived from Grand Rapids is to the effect that Dayton will be represented at a meeting of the Central league promoters at Ft Wayne, Sunday. No mention is made as to who will represent this city and from the dope which can be gathered at this end it is possible the Dayton franchise will be sought by three, two, one or no parties. At various times three different parties have been looking into the local franchise. First there was Jot) Tinker, but the former Cub has been sitting tight pending the outcome of the meetings which are being held to determine the circuit. Then there" was an effort on the part of local people, headed by "Kitty" McCann, former ball player, and it was understood that a theatrical organization of. which "Kitty" is a member, was back of the venture. McCann and his backers were said to have been lined up with Grand Rapids interests and it may be they will be represented at the Ft. Wayne meeting,- though no word could be had from them. The third party In the hunt is a Columbus man, who has been connected with baseball in former years. At' the present time any or all of the three may be regarded as possible owners of the next Dayton team and likewise it may be that none of them will go into the matter. Miami University Will Meet Denison College Saturday OXFORD, O., Feb. 27. One of the most important basketball games of the season will be played here Saturday night Miami university against Denison university. Denison defeated Miami at Granville a few weeks ago by a score of 27 to 22. Miami is hopeful of evening things up . this time. Wheelbarrow Skate Race Coliseum Feature Tonight Tonight's program at the Coliseum will be featured by a wheelbarrow race on skates, according to an announcement made yesterday by the rink officials. During the course of the race one man rides in the wheelbarrow and then puts on the skates doffed by his partner and the two change places. OPPOSE PUBLIC DANCING. LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 27. Public dancing on Sunday will be prohibited in Nebraska if a bill before the state legislature is passed. It is - already been given the endorsement of the lower house and its proponents expect similar action in The senate. - " PREDICT LIGHTER CROPS TOLEDO, O., Feb. 27 Lighter crops and high prices for 1919 were predicted today at the convention of the Ohio Grain Dealers' association, which is in session here.

UEINIE GROH LAST OF HERZOG'S REDS

, . k n

Heinle Groh. War and the usual number of baseball deals and retirements have mad startling changes in the lineups of the bier league clubs in the last few seasons. Take the Cinci Reds, for instance. Heinie Groh is the only member of Charley Herzog's team of 1914 who is still with the Redlegs. S RANDOM PORT NOTES If the Willard-Dempsey battle should prove to be a farce it may be the last heavyweight fleht to attract anv hhHm tor years. IT MAY EVEN SOUND THE FINISH Of the HEAVYWEIGHT CLASS. The heavvweizht rhamnlnnsMn ). been a huge ioke sfnr .Tack Tnhn got Jim Jeffries to come out of retire ment ana meet him. At that time jennes was really the champ. He had retired undefeated. Everyone knows -what tiannano Jeffries was beaten when he stepped into the ring. There were charges made that Jeffries' drinlrlne- no. doped. Those charges were never utearea up. NO one to this dnv ha fliniraA Stiff why Jeffries Jim, the King who feareu no one stood Knock-kneed and scared-looking as he faced. Johnson. . i ne neavyweignt fights that followed were jokes. Johnson toyed with the opposition. Then came his ill-smelling match with Frank Moran abroad. How did Jack lose the title? He ruined his nhvsiaue br He steDDed Into th ' vana with Jess Willard, a mere novice. ror one reason alone. That was to get more funds for ear liviner. Ha win no more Jack Johnson the champion than a aown-ana-cut hobo would be. Wl Hard's youth and strength, not any ring science he had, won him the title. What has he done to win the respect or admiration of fistlana? r Not a thing. A few no-decision bouts with fallguys. A ten-round bout with Frank Moran a joke. A few workouts with Walter Monahan as an added attraction in his circus. Those sum up his efforts. Fandom wanted Jess to win when he met Johnson because they wanted to see a white man champ. Willard boasted no popularity to speak of. He has gained no more. Dempsey will have as many friends in the arena as Willard when they meet. If the fight Is a frost neither will have a friend among the fans when the last bell rings. As to a farce-fight sounding the knell of the heavyweight game: The day of giants is over. The mighty dreadnaught proved no match for the little submarine. The light,. swifter airplane surpassed the bulky Zeppelin. The little whippet tanks outshone the giant lumbering forts the first tanks built. The machine gun proved deadlier than the huge cannon. Now that the war is over the boxers who will appeal to the public' will be the little fellows, bundles of nerve and science. The spectacle of two - wheezing, heavy-footed giants swinging wildly to land a knockout won't draw any great interest. , Some one who can hold a following with his personality, his science and a fair amount of speed must rule the heavyweight class, if that division is to hold its own. I can't see Willard in that role. Dempsey hasn't set himself solid with the fans yet So, if these two stage a movie battle, they'll simply box themselves and the heavyweight class Into oblivion. We're ready for the bell. The men who have bossed or tried to boss the Cincinnati Reds would make a great ball team themselves. The only man they would lack would be a third baseman. An extra shortstop could be used at third. Since 1894, when Charley Comlskey, the famous first baseman of the. old St Louis Browns, gave up the managerial reins of the Reds, the following men have managed the team. . The position each man played before becoming a manager is also given. Hank O'Day quit umpiring to handle . the club, but in his early life he was a good pitcher. Here is the list: 1891-'4....

BAREFOOT WANTS nnnc rnn nnnrno iihuc run rnucho An open race, for all the world's fastest pacers that the owners care to enter, was the suggestion today of W. B. Barefoot, of Cambridge City, owner of Single G., l:59tt, who is in Indianapolis. Barefoot's statement was in answer to a challenge made by Fred Cline, local horseman, who, several weeks ago, said he would match his pacer, Virile Patchen, 2:02. against Single G., Directum J., , 2:01, and Miss Harris M., 1:58, each owner to put up 12,500 which would be added to a purse of $5,000 to be offered by the track staging the race, v - , The challenge attracted the attention of horsemen all over the country, causing endless discussion of the merits of the great pacers. - Barefoot's plan, if accepted, would make it even a greater speed contest He said if the race were made a free-for-all with an entrance fee of front $1,000 to. $2,500 for each horse, the owners of several other fast pacers would consider the proposition. ,.r c ?. , William Rounding Out . It' is said that William. - 1:58. owned by Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, for. years recognized as one of the greatest pacers, Is rounding into shape again and probably would be a contender in an open race. .

Greely Winnings,- superintendent at the great Laurel Hall stock farm. . the home of Peter the Great, 2:07, the world's greatest race sire, . north of the city, said he thought Peter Look, 2:01, a son of Peter the Great; would be entered in such an event Peter Look is now in the stable of Dick Mahon, at Memphis. - Barefoot sug gested that the race, if arranged, be staged at either Toledo or at North Randall. CUneepecified North Randall in his challenge. , ' The chances are the race will be arranged and if - these great filers receive the word the prospects are that it will be the greatest horse race of all time. - - Today's Beauty Talk - You can enjoy a deHghtfut'sBimpoo with very little effort and for a very trifling -cost, If you get 'from - your druggist's a package of Canthrox- and dissolve a teaspoonful in a s?'ct hot water. .
