LIBERTY WILL BE

STRONGEST TEAM MET BY LOCALS Is Expected to Give Richmond Men Hard Fight for District Honors. Basing the basketball tourney remits of next Friday and Saturday on a comparative study of the scoring of the Liberty and Richmond basketball teams for the season, Liberty stand3 forth as a strong contender for state honors and will force the Richmond basketballer to hump if they expect Liberty has played Connersville twice, while the Richmond high basket chooters have played Connersville once. In both games the Liberty team were victorious over the Connersville high school basketball aggregation, scoring in the first game 32 to 20 and in the second ID to 17. Richmond dropped its game to Connersville by one point the score ending 1C to 15. In the Shortridge setto, Liberty high school basketball team defeated the Shortridge basket shooters in a fast game, 18 to 14 and Shortridge handed the Richmond high school nve a 20 to 13 defeat. Richmond Shows Improvement. Judging from those results Liberty is by far the strongest team, but when we take in consideration the giant strides the Richmond basketballers have been hitting for the last of the season, the results for the tourney i lane on a airrerent look. In the last three games Coach Eckcl' proteges have shown marked improvement in all departments of the game. Dollins at center has developed remarkably and is playing the best game of basketball he has played since the season started. Van Allen, the main Richmond scorer, is becoming more reliable and is hitting the basket with something like clockwork which, with the asslstanco of Stegman and Torter, will place the Richmond team in the winning class next Friday and Saturday. Both Kversman and Price are showing up better at the defense positions than earlier in the season. With a little more speed Price will prove a stonewall against Richmond's antagonists making short shots. Eversman has been playing a consistent game of basketba'l at floor guard assisting the forwards to score. . n .

Leslie Nunamaker is now with the Indians and Josh Billings p.nd Mayer will divide the catching with Hank Severeid. Mayer was purchased from the Red Sox. The Browns got Josh for Nunamaker. - Burke will' depend upon Sotheron and Shocker for his mainstays in the pitching department. Koob is expected to prove a strong southpaw addi1 tion. Included in the mound staff are Dave Davenport ho of the large feet Lowdermilk, Gallia, Houck, Wright and Rogers. Lefty Leifeld will be back but is expected to act mainly as coach of the other hurlers. George Casazza, a southpaw hurler who gained fame in the east by his remarkable work with the St. John's Prep team for the last three years, has 6igned a contract with the Philadelphia National league club and will be given a thorough tryout by Jack Coombs in the spring. Casazza is an all around athlete, is six feet tall and tips the beam at 175 pounds; he is only twenty-one years old. Coombs discovered the youngster last summer when Casazza made a practice of working out every day at Ebbets field. The Brooklyn boy was one of the first to whom a contract was sent by the Philadelphia club after Coombs had assumed command in the Quaker city. Nevada is regarded as a possible battle ground for the Willard-Dempsey fight because of the favorable action by the Nevada senate in passing an amendment to the anti-prize fighting law to permit twenty-five round boxing contests to a decision. The senate passed the measure by a vote of 10 to 5. And it went to the house. The assembly has already voted in favor of the bill. In its original form the bill provided for boxing matches of Twenty-five rounds to a decision. This later was amended in the senate to prevent contests between white men and negroes. x , Unofficial advices declare that Governor Boyle is in favor of restoring boxing in Nevada and it is said that his signature will be affixed as soon as final action is taken in the state legislature. If no unforseen opposition develops It is probable now that the Willard Dempsey match will be" held in the page brush state. Rickard promoted the Gans-Nelson fight in Goldfield, placing that mining community on the map. He also promoted the JohnsonJeffries fight, at Reno, in which the black man tumbled Champion Jeffries in fifteen rounds.

TART FINAL DRIVE

BASEBALL The final drive is on to bring baseball back to this section of the middle west. The Three-I and Central league organizers must act and act fast if they are to revive the National pastime this week, and a "whirlwind campaign to various cities now holding up organization plans, starting today, will tell the tale. ; ., -. A. R. Tearney, temporary president of the Three-I league, along with Rufus Gilbert and other Terre Haute boosters, were in Evansville Monday in an effort to whip that city into line. On Wednesday, a committee from Peoria will invade the Tri-cities and sound out the final sentiment there. Lima is seeking a berth in the Central league. The western section will meet at Chicago next Sunday and if eight cities are not ready tostart at that time, it looks bad for baseball in that territory. . Over here affairs are equally unsettled. Heilbronner of Fort Wayne and Noblett of Grand Rapids are having troubles of their own to line up a circuit. If the proposed two circuit plan fails, it i3 expected a final effort will then be made to form one league out of the entire territory. This might include the Michigan cities, along with three or four Indiana cities and the remainder of the circuit from Illinois. Such a circuit might include Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Fort Wayne, Richmond, Terre Haute, Evansville, Peoria, with the eighth city to come from either Rockford, Mcline Bloomington. The milage would be points the other day when a message was received by President Mitchell stating that Bill Killefer had received his honorable discharge from the army and would be ready to make the training trip with the champions. The message came direct from ths catcher, who went to the home of his father in Paw Paw, Mich., as 60cn an he obtained the discharge. He will remain there, "resting" from his army experience, until the call comes in four weeks for the Cub crew to gather. Recently Killefer expressed a fear that he would have trouble in getting his discharge, and since that time Mitchell has been considerably worried, so the news brought great relief. Bill, rated unanimously the best, catcher in the league, was a mast important factor in the success of the Cubs last year, and it looks as if he will be just as important this season. Two Suits Are Lost By . . Economy Basketballers Economy basketball team practicing in the Coliseum Monday night lost a suit case in front of the Coliseum containing two basketball suits, according to "Tax" Bradfield, manager of the Coliseum. The suit case was left in front of the building for a time and upon the return, of the team, it was missing. The finder of the case is requested to return it to "Tax" Bradfield, at the Coliseum. The case contained two basketball suits, of blue and white.

Gleason have not started their active duties as yet. Their showing will have a great bearing on their later success. For Rickey, Huggins and Bezdek, it will be a test year. Their followers believe they should deliver this season. TO TO G 1AL WEST slightly increased, but at the same time not out of the question, and a majority of the cities are good baseball centers. The two Michigan cities might be dropped entirely, if Muskegon doesn't come through, and a circuit formed which would read something like this: Peoria, Bloomington, Moline, Rockford, Fort Wayne, Richmond, Terre Haute and Evansville. I TEAMS PRACTICING I COLISEUM FLOOR Four teams scheduled to play here Friday and Saturday in the big rounds of basketball have been in Richmond practicing on the Coliseum floor. Hagerstown was the first of the comer?, spending a half day accustoming itself to the floor. Fountain City has been on the grounds having practiced and played here in order not to appear lost when the final go is called. Both Economy and Cambridge City have been put through the steps on the big floor in preparation of the district basketball tourney. Jim Cooney May Fill Gap In Mield for "Reds" CINCINNATI, O., March 4. Jimmy Cooney, a son of the famous shortstop of the Chicago Nationals thirty years ago, is the player Manager Pat Moran of the Cincinnati Nationals desires to

orifill the gap in the infield.

Cooney belongs to the Boston Amer icans and was kept off the Red Sox infield only because Everett Scott was there ahead of him. Moran hopes to arrange a deal for the young star. Cooney, a snappy batsman and a lightning infielder, was a sensation with the Providence club before Boston landed him. Bloomington Fans Are Confident of Victory BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 4. Bloomington's wonderful staying powers against the strong Anderson five last Friday night has made the local fans here more confident than ever that it will cop the next tourney. Anderson was able to get only one close shot during the entire game. Both teams use the five-man defense and a passing game that is hard to beat. The Bloomington basketball team will be given a big sendoff next Thursday night when the Chamber of Comfnerce stages a big "pep" meeting on the public square. .Indiana University students are expected to join in the celebration.

MASS ATHLETICS TO BE FEATURED BY COLLEGE MEN

I. C. A: L. Would Make Athletic Training Compulsory in Colleges by New Plans. Mass athletics will be the goal of all the I. C. A. L. colleges this year, according to Coach Ray B. Mowe of Earlham college. Mowe was a mem' ber of the committee with Coach I Townsend of Wabash and Thurber of Franklin to draft plans whereby keener competition among the students in mass could be derived. Because track meets, basketball, football, and baseball were only beneficial 'to a few students, the Indiana Collegiate Athletic league adopted a system which when completely worked out will benefit all the students in the school and cause many more to come out for the different events. It is the belief of Coach Mowe that all high schools and colleges will make athletic training compulsory. In the new plan which Coach Mowe may put in working order this spring ai tannam college nearly, every man entering contests will have a chance to score points for his college. Every event will be scored from four points to 1,000 point3. The 1,000 points will be awarded when a world's record is broke. Men of the regular track team will not be allowed to compete in this work. Scores for Events. In the 100 yard dash the lowest score is 34 point for a record of 14 2-5 seconds, thirteen second at 328 points, twenve second at 538 points, eleven seconds at 748 points, 10 seconds at 958 points and 9 4-5 seconds, 1,000 points. An average, of the number of men which each school is able to have participating in each event will be taken and only that number of students will be allowed to participate in that event. In the shotput, a record of 26 feet 3 inches will score 4 points, a record of 46 feet 11 inches will score 996 points, and a record of 47 feet will score 1,000 points. In the running high jump, 3 feet 10 inches will score 32 points, 6 feet 4 inches will score 992 points, and 6 feet 4 inches will score 1,000 points. In the pole vault, 6 feet 7 inches will score 8 points, 11 feet 8 inches will score 984 points, and 11 feet 9 inches will make a perfect score. In the 120 low hurdles, 22 1-5 seconds will score 10 points, and 15 3-5 seconds will form a perfect score. In the running broad jump, 13 feet 1 inch will score 4 points, and 23 feet 6 inches will score 1,000. In the mile run, :7:37 will score 4 points, and :4:17 4-5 will score 1.000. The plan will be followed similarly through the remain der of the events. Will Control Entries. The college scoring the highest number of points at the end of the season will be given the I. C. A. L. champion ship for mass athletics for the year. ine entries win be controlled so that no one college with a large number of students can run the score up and have a handicap on the college with a smaller attendance. The Earlham faculty has authorized the appointment of an assistant physical director to Coach Mowe who will have charge of the mass athletic work while Coach Mowe will have the training of the team that, is specializing in any one branch. Not only will the mass athletic plan give each student an -opportunity to show his ability and develop but it will create keener com petition for the varsity teams. MARTIAL LAW RAISED. March GUATEMALA CITY, March 4. Martial law which has been in force since April, 1917, before Guatamela entered the war against Germany, has been raised.

TRAP, GUN AND ROD

BY TOM MARSHALL. Our nation must relax. Reconstruction is in order In every avenue of life, along, broader and more comprehensive lines. Especially Is this fact true in the world of sports. In the patriotic sport of trapshooting the interest has never decreased, neither has there been a cessation of interest or public endorsement. Uncle Sam's endorsement by establishing shooting schools in all cantonments and ground schools, at the same' time sending 2,000,000 targets across the water to General Pershing fr use ln educating the "Dough Boys" on moving objects, was especially use ful. There was never a chance for a shot, at a stationary Hun after the Yanks took the trenches, as those Boches were at all times making one of their strategic retreats, escaping from the destructive effect of those sawed-off shot guns in the hands of expert trapshots. This was the combination that brought the cry of "Kamerad" in conjunction with a storm of protest from the German government. Organize Gun Clubs During the period of war, Gun clubs have been organized and consistently operated, not only by Country clubs and private parties, but municipalities have installed traps and encouraged trapshooting within the confines of the public parks. Country clubs, in many places, dropped lawn tennis and golf, and substituted trapshooting as the real patriotic sport. It has now become the fashionable fad 'in which women are forging to the front; schools of instruction under competent teachers have been established at many of the ultra-fashionable watering places and resorts. Women Go Afield Becoming proficient and expert In the high art of shooting at the traps, their inclination then is to go afield, where they have been most successful. In many instances women are reported as having secured the legal limit of birds, usually quail or snipe; although many assume the role of real duck shooters. The advent of many women at the traps has had the effect of popularizing the sport with one and all. It has been my observation that more Interest at all times is created by the presence of women," who serve, not only to popularize, but to elevate the sport to a higher plane, as is the case in all lines of sport. Women delight in preparedness and feel that .education along the line of handling shot guns, which virtually means fire arms ln general, is the real "safety first" slogan for both home and person.
