From then on the Richmond team eamo through with four more field goals bringing the score to 12 to 0 at the end of the first half. The contest was scrappy and fast. Long before the game started Fire Chief Miller, closed the doors when the house was packed with approximately 8.000 enthusiastic fars. Stegman Scores First Samuels, Liberty center, gained the r first tlpoff but Eversman received the ball and the Richmond passing maU hin started for a two point lead only to te etopped when the Liberty basketfcallers broke it up and gained the ball. For ten minutes the teams flight for supremacy and a chance at the basket. Several 'shots were made . by loth teams but did not result in markers. Personals' In the first few minutes of play came thick and fast. The flrt personal was called on Ev ersman and Hunt missed the free throw, followed by a personal on Hunt and YmAllen missed the chance. To Stegman belongs the honor "of annexing the first two points of the game, end a few minutes later Eversman tossed the ball in for another marker. Both teams missed every opportunity at foul throwing. In the second half Coach Snook sent in Snyder who failed to report to the official? and caused a technical called on Liberty captain, which Everman made in a free throw.

Vore for Stegman, Porter for . VarAllfn. Last, year the Richmond quintet went to Bloomington to play in the State Jaflkefball tourney after tumbling the giant Manilla team here by a score of 47 to 12. In the first game at Bloomington, Richmond met Bloomington, also a small team, but one that hadjbeen trained to play the five-men defense to a specialty. Before the defense which Richmond had used so well "i-,flgalnst Manilla, it was helpless, and ' 'the Bloomington five forced it to an overwhelming defeat, 39 to 12. Never during the history of any state tourney has Richmond played more than two games. In meeting Bloomington next Thursday afternoon the Richmond team is meeting the biggest favoiite for the Mate bpokrtball honors. This year In the few games that Richmond has played of district basketball caliber, it has failed to get the results, and it has not been until the !st few games of the season that the Richmond flvo managed to get into district championship form. On the other hand, backers of the Bloomington team are basing their surmises on the late and surprising successes of the Bloomington five. Eckel Is Confident. Coach Eckel is confident that he has a team that can play Bloomington to a standstill and it is with this In mind that he will work out the Richmond team this week before the ttate tourney. The Richmond team Is small and light in weight, but it Is fast and full of pep and possesses the greatest of all championship qualities, teamwork. No one Individual can personally claim the honor of winning the n.mip Saturday night. All five men working In unison won. In this resect Co.ich Eckel has turned out a better and stronger basketball team l nan any other ever turned out at Ihe Richmond high school. If Richmond can defeat Bloomington Thursday afternoon it will be one of the bingest surprises of the tourney "to the fans who are doping Bloomington as the state winner. If Richmond does defeat the favorite for state honors, then the locals will have

the tourney won, In the belief of all basketball fans. Bloomington turns out a team every year that makes a strong bid for state honors. Last year after defeating Richmond 30 to 12, Bloomington annexed a victory ovrr Martinsville by two points, l'i-22. It then went into the sem'fin.ils and crushed Montmorencl, 23 lo 11. In the next to the last game on Uis state program, Lebanon ousted Bloomington, 17 to 4. The winner of the state tourney this year will have to grind through five games before it can be declared the holder of state honors, and defeat as many strong Kama. FIFTEENTH GAME.

He is only 18 years old and enlisted at the outbreak of the war. Two days before Thanksgiving he and a comrade ran over a high embankment in a truck and the Richmond boy was buried beneath the machine, two wheels of which ran over his right leg. He was removed to a French hospital where he was confined until late in January. On February 4 he arrived in New York city and was sent to Camp Merritt, N. J. He will be retained at West Baden a few weeks, it is thought. His brother, Charles Chappel, a member of the Fifth division, is now with the Army of Occupation in Luxemburg. ! Mr. and Mrs. Henry Turner of Lib- ! . . i a Ti T 1 eny avenue are ine parents ui raui r. Turner, who was a member of the 12th Infantry and was wounded seriously while in action on October 9.

His mother said today that they understood he was still in a serious condition. His wound is in the left leg. Turner arrived In France the 11th of last June and say heavy action. Defeat of Lebanon Is Biggest Tourney Surprise The biggest surprise sprung at district basketball tourneys held in the state last Friday and Saturday was the let down that Lebanon received in the semi-finals at the hands of the Zionsville five. 15 to 14. Zionsville was put out in the final game by Thorntown. Lebanon was looked upon as a safe bet in the Frankfort tourney and in the first half and the Zionsville crew 10 to 0.

SPEED PLANS FOR ORGANIZATION OF

WESTERN LEAGUE . PEORIA, 111., March 10. A hurry-up campaign to complete the work of organizing the new middle western basebail league was inaugurated this morning by President Ryan of the Fans' association. "We cannot let our organization plans hang fire longer than one more week," said President Ryan. "It Is getting late in the year now to sign players and make other arrangements for the playing season, but if we can get a circuit organized within another week, I'm sure we can pull through in first class shape." Cities will not be allowed to remain on the fence longer than another week according to President Ryan. Two cities are all that stands in the way of rounding out the circuit, according to reports made to President Ryan within the last few days. The six cities in line are Rockford, Moline, Peoria, Bloomington. Evansville and Terre Haute. The league will likely see the other two cities come out of the Central league combination made up of Fort Wayne, Richmond, Grand Rapids and Muskegon, or branch ,over to Western territory and take in Hannibal and Quincy. No date has been selected for the Bert Noblett Central league meeting, carded for Fort, Wayne on two occasions, but postponed both times. Mr. Noblett's plans are far from complete, it is said, and late reports coming out of the different cities are to the effect the league in that part of the territory, cannot organize unless it branches west and includes Peoria, Terre Haute and other cities. This combination may be worked out next week, but it must not be later than next week, or Peoria will not be enthusiastic about starting the season, according to the best Information coming out of baseball headquarters. S. A, L MANAGERS TO MEET TONIGHT A meeting of the Saturday afternoon, league baseball managers has been called by Sam S. Vigran,-president of the league, for Monday night, at the Y. M. C. A. Reports from different committees will be made. The finance and the ground committees for the season, will report. Vigran has sent word to all the managers to be present. The matter of adding another team will be taken up at this meeting. Either Easthaven or Wayne Works is expected to furnish the new club. TWO LIBERTY MEN ' ON ALL-DISTRICT TEAM SELECTION In picking an all-district basketball team from the players competing at the district basketball tourney, Richmond players were given the complimentary place as the best all-round team on the flooy and therefore should not enter In the choosing of an alldistrict team. Thomas of Fountain City should receive consideration as Ills playing, while he was in, was excellent, but his sprain in the first game places him out of the question. The bright lights of the other teams appearing for the forward position are Wise of Connersville, Jones of Milroy, Reber of Moscow and Hanna of Brookville, being the best material for forward position on the floor. Wise of Connersville five was the best bet on the floor from outside teams. Both Jones and Reber showed up well but , the basket eye and teamwork of SamI uels of Liberty places him in a better i position to hold the forward place. Huntington of Liberty, played a spectacular, flashy game but was not consistent enough. Richey in the Milroy-Liberty game with an aggressive fighting spirit and equal skill with Samuels, really should hold the center position. The biggest display of talent was found in the guard players.'For guards appear Martin, Liberty; Daniels, Cambridge City; Jackman, Milroy, and Murray, Hagerstown. Murray earned an all-district reputation in the Rieh-mond-Hagerstown game, accredited by Referee Webb of being one of the best guards in action during the tourney.' Martin was alloted the back guard position showing heavy material and good work at that position. Charni of Brookville, came in for his share of consideration at guarding but was eclipsed by the work of other guards during the tourney grind. Complimentary Richmond All-District.

Liberty had little difficulty in defeating Milroy Saturday afternoon, 18 to 16. Playing before a packed house the two teams put up a bitter fight for th'e honor of contending in the final game. Cesterling, who filled the pivot position after the Milroy center was knocked out, played a good game, and helped rally his team. He made two spectacular one-arm field goals. There was noticeable depreciation in the fighting sprit of the Milroy team after the mainstay of the team was lost and the working of the five did not show up until Liberty had taken a good lead. Samuels was the Liberty star man. PS Dr. Vinton' VINT-O-LAX "Purple Pitta for Liver Ills" CONSTIPATION 10J23eiEe INO.OatTION At all DniMUta HBADACHK Conkey's and other leading Druggists

HEILBRONER ANXIOUS TO GET RICHMOND IN EASTERN LOOP OF SIX Louis Heilbroner of Fort Wayne, has written the Richmond club that he will come to the city to see if the owners will line up for a six or eight club circuit in the eastern section. Local club owners are anxious to hear his plan. His letter which is self-explanatory follows: Mr. Elmer Eggemeyer, Richmond, Ind. Dear Sir Being in a position to devote more time to the matter of the oragnization of a league I have undertaken this work. The time is getting short and action should be taken as .soon as possible to know if a circuit can be started. Have looked over the grounds in the north end and also made a hurried trip to Springfield on being informed a meeting of the club directors was called for Tuesday. The meeting was called off, owing to the president being called from the city. They held the meeting on Wednesday but the report of same did not reach me until Saturday, It being delayed somewhere in the mails. Springfield's secretary was instructed to notify me; that they did not look with favor upon a proposed six club league, but would like the opportunity of getting in an eight club league. -As to the northern cities; Grand Rapids will have a well financed company. Muskegon has a backer with the necessary money. Fort Wayne will be financed by a good company. South Bend has no park and does not look good. rAm expecting to hear definitely froto jthere this week. Am informed Xhat' Lima has a good park and could be induced to come in. Dayton is fh. doubt. Mm in correspondence with a party who mav place a club there. Have One other town that is near Springfield ;that reports say will join. 4 j The circuit would-be very compact, 705 miles around it. Population over half a million. Noblett informs me that he has never received any replies to his letters to you, so I am writing for the purpose of getting your views and if you will join with us to help start the league. Am writing to Springfield today asking the secretary (Mr. Wm. Mahoney) if he will not arrange to come with me to Richmond to meet with you and talk things over. This is too big a matter for one person to tackle in the short time the work must be done. Would this be agreeable to you? I might mention that Springfield is not the Hunter proposition but the old company. The Dayton party is not the Tinker company. Am and have been opposed to the calling of the several meetings. My idea is to have but one meeting and that only when all cities ar secured and ready to play ball. I will appreciate getting an early reply. Truly yours, LOUIS HEILBRONER. COACHES OBJECT TO THURMAN AS REFEREE Much dissatisfaction at the officiating of Referee Thurman was expressed by coaches of basketball teams competing at the tournament, Friday and Saturday. It is reported that a meeting was held Friday evening. A number of coaches, it is said, signed a protest to be sent to A. L. Trester, secretary of the Indiana high school athletic association, asking that Referee Thurman not be sent to Richmond next year. satisfaction on the part of the coaches The reasons reported for the dis satisfaction on the part of the coaches is that they claim Thurman has allowed hacking, charging, and other reasons for calling fouls to go uncalled.

Physical Department BY By DR. WELLSMAN Intestinal Parasites the Nematodes or Thread Worms. The thread worms, or as it is pometimes called, the Pin or Seat Worm, is another common member of the round worm family. This species is much smaller than the the large round worm, being seldom more than an inch in length and of almost threadlike thinness, hence its name. It is white in color and infests the lower part of the small intestine in great numbers, and from there frequently passes into the rectum and eventually out of the body, to be found in the clothing. The eggs of this variety are believed not to be hatched in the intestine, but must undergo a certain period of development outside the human body, and are introduced into the system by the same method that is followed by their larger relative through polluted food and water. The house fly is believed to be a common carrier of the eggs, of this species of worm, and therefore all food, particularly that which is intended to be eaten raw, should be protected from contact with these pests. The symptoms caused by the thread worm are in many ways similar to those of the large round worm; but the most common and characteristic one is the intense itching of the rectal opening. For the destruction of these annoying parasites the use of laxcarin is most effective. Taken in doses as recommended. It rarely fails to give complete satisfaction. Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E 94, Pittsburgh, Penna. Price per box, one dollar, full treatment six boxes, five dollars, will be sent postpaid upon receipt of cash, money orders or stamps. Substitutes must be refused. Adv.
