The initial game of the twenty-one basketball battles started Thursday , afternoon at 2 o'clock on the spacious , Purdue gymnasium floor. The Rich. i mond-Bloomlngton fiasco was the first game of the tourney. Wednesday and Thursday, basketball teams, accompanied by hundreds ' of fans, poured into Lafayette by train, electric, and highways. The Indications were that the Purdue gym would not accommodate, all. those, who wanted to see the teams play. Thursday afternoon's schedule was a strong one. Richmond met BloomIngton in the first game. Manual of Indianapolis met ' Vlncennes at ' 3 o'clock and Thorntown and Anderson went into action at -4.- The -two games Thursday evening are Washington-Huntington and Columbus-South Bend. The games will continue day and night until Saturday night when the (final battle will be waged to decide the state honors. Each delegation attending the tourney. had is own dope sheet which showed its team to be one of the strongest contenders, in the tourney and the likely winner. Lebanon Upset Dope. With the defeat of Lebanon in the Franklin district tourney, Indiana dopesters of the' luck winner have been keeping their peace and saying . little about the chances -of any team , to win. The brand of basketball put up by every team this year will be much Improved over any presented by high school basketball teams before. In Friday's games, according to "report, Rochester, Emerson (Gary), Martinsville, Crawfordsville and Kokomo have the edge on their opponents. Spiceland Academy which team usually plays at Richmond in the district tourney, this year won the district at New Ca3tle and is looked upon with awe by other district dopesters. JACK JOHNSON SAYS WILLARD DEFEATED HIM BY FRAME-UP

HAVANA, Cuba, March 13. Jack . Johnson, former heavyweight champion, in a signed statement given to the Associated Press last night, declared that his fight with Jess Willard in this city four years ago was a pre-arranged affair and that he allowed Willard to win. In addition to the f sum of $30,000, entire' rights to the ; moving picture films in Europe and 33 1-3 per cent of the proceeds from their exhibition in the United States , and Canada are mentioned by Johnson together with the promise of aid to settle Johnson's Chicago difficulties with the federal authorities, so that the colored pugilist might return there to re-clalni . his property and see his mother. Johnson declared In his statement that it was arranged that he should lose in the tenth round, provided Willard's showing was such as to justify it, but that as Willard was doing practically nothing, he was forced to wait. ' The signal agreed upon was given in the 20th round, Johnsop, states, but he waited until the 26th round to give Willard an opportunity to make ! a good showing. ';' The former champion declares that unless Willard agrees to light him . wtthin'a reasonable time he will claim the world's title. He signed his statement, "Jack. Johnson, Champion." Colonel D'Estrampes. former congressman, who is backing Johnson, stated that Johnson is willing to battle Willard anywhere in the United States, the proceeds to go to the Clark Griffith Bat and Ball fund or to any charitable institution. Col D'Estram- ; pes has wired "Bat" Masterson, of New York, asking for the address of : Denipsey and Fulton, with the idea of arranging a match in Havana be tween either of '.them and Johnson. D'Estrampes says in his cablegram that Johnson i "disposed, to defend the world's championship" against either of these men. . . ..

This is one of the stars in our flu-masked big league player puzzle. We have arranged a series of stars disguised this way to test your knowlfdge of major league players. We conceived the idea from a game played a short time ao at Pasadena, Cal., in which the players, many of them big league stars, were forced to wear flu masks. Fans' at that game had a great time picking out the stars disguised that way. The player shown above is a southpaw, hurler who has been a winner for his club in the past He has unusually good control and ranks high as a fielder. He helped land bin team near the top last year and has signed up or this season.

RANDOM C PORT NOD By JACK KEENE. Tho hort schedule, by reason of a-itrh tho mnlor leaeue baseball sea son will not begin until April 23, has lost many of its erstwhile supporters as . a result of the excellent weather experienced this winter, yet there are at least four club owners, two in each lnaerne. who are elad that a late start was decided upon.. Their gratification is due to the fact tnat some oi meir fttnr nlavers are still overseas, witn slim chances of a speedy return to the land of base hits. In the National league the Brooklyn club is chiefly concerned over the matter of bringing our troops back from France and Germany at an early date,, for four Robins whose presence In this country would enhance the possibilities of a pennant for Brooklyn are in the American army of occupation or engaged in police duty in France. Clarence Mitchell and Chuck Ward are in Germany with the 342nd Field Artillery, John Miljus, who was slightly wounded in action has recovered and is again withy his regiment, and Sherrod Smith is an "M. P." in Paris, and no one seems to ' know when any or all of these players will return. The Cubs, as they proved so conclusively last season, can win without Grover Cleveland Alexander, yet the Chicago fans will be bitterly disappointed if Aleck the Great has not returned from foreign service by April 23, while in Boston, George Washington Grant and the Brave's adherents are looking forward to the doy that Hank Gowdy will again set foot in the precincts of the Sacred Cod. Jack Miller, Frank Snyder and Marvin Goodwin, whose return to the Cardinals would greatly strengthen the club piloted by Branch Rickey, are still overseas, while in Pittsburg, the release' from duty with the air forces overseas of Elmer Ponder, a talented young boxman, is eagerly anticipated by Hugo Bezdeck, and the fans whose rendevous is Forbes Field. The only Giant overseas is Sterling Stryker, the kid pitcher, whose re Would Not Believe the Advertisements He Read in Newspapers Strange Case of OHIO Man Mr. Smith of Carrlnrton was quite a pessimist until recently. Advertisements of patent medicines and other advertisements In general were In his opinion absolutely unworthy of perusal. Of course he had the same idea of physicians, and that Is why he. suffered for years from stomach trouble and constipation. At last, however, Mrs. Smith has grown tired of the continuous ill treatmentxshe suffered on the part of Mr. Smith, who was continually lrr.tated. Naturally restless quite often suffering from Insomnia, he caused more trouble than was to be expected from him. A neighbor of the Smiths called Mrs. 8m!th's attention to the advertisements of LAXCARIN in the local publications. Mrs. Smith decided to try It. Sent for a box. Received it by return mall. However, she then encountered another obstacle that had not been thouarht of before'. Mr. Smith has absolutely refused to consider taking"that fake stuff". Finally, Mrs. Smith was.abl to persuade him to take a tablet after dinner. Of course. It did not help Mr. Smith, on the contrary It made htm feel worse than before. Nevertheless, notwithstanding: Mr. Smith's g-rud&lnir, Mrs. Smith noticed that Mr. Smith did not have to be persuaded to take the second nor the third tablet of Iaxcarin. Obstinate in nature, of course, he would not admit that Laxrarln was helping-, him. So finally, after thirty days treatment, he confessed to Mrs. Smith that he himself has sent for six boxes of Laxcarin and "furthermore he does not hAvo to take them anymore although he has not used a whole treatment. His stomach is working; well -also ; he has a perfect bowel movement - - So now there are advertisements and advertisements, as there are people and people. If you are pessimistic, let your wife send for a box of Laxcarin. If you are not then send for it yourself today. There Is no worse misery than stornach trouble or a constipated con-1 dltion. It Is not only a misery, but it accelerates old age. Send for a box of 'Laxcarin. let us show you that there are advertisements in which you can and in which you should believe. I Laxcarin Is sold by the Laxcarin1 Products Co., . Dept. B-94. Pittsburgh.' Penna. Prloe per box one dollar, full treatment six boxes five dollars. Will be sent post paid upon receipt of cash, money orders or stamps. Substitutes must be refused. Adv. i

turn ia not essential to the success of the McGraw team in the pennant fight, and neither Philadelphia nor Cincinnati has any players of importance in France. In the Amercan league the Cleveland club holds a position in regard to players overseas which corresponds to that which Brooklyn holds in the National. In the 342 Field. Artillery with Alexander, . Mitchell and Ward, are Otis Lambeth and Ed Klepfer, two of the Indians most dependable hurlers, and Louis Guisto and Harris, both firstsackers, and pitcher Elmer Myers are still on foreign soil with their outfits. The Athletics will be represented in France by the presence in that country of Win Noyesi Ray Bates, Naylor and Seibold. Two young pitchers on the roster of the Yankees, Bob McGraw and Walter Smallwood, are "over there." and Urban Shocker and Hank Severoil of the Browns are still across the briny deep.

PERSHINGS LAND TOP PLAGE IN GARFIELD BASKETBALL LEAGUE

In the Garfield small boys' basketball eircie, a shake up in league standing occurred Wednesday night on the North Twelfth street gym floor. Yale the former top notcher went to third place, being succeeded by the Pershing basketball crew. The Red team now holds the second position. Butler and the Indians changed places, due to the Butler defeat of the Yale five, 8 to 12, and the Red win over the Indians, 6 to 3. In the first game, Bly, Up off man for the Butlerites, made three field goals and two free throws, all the points made. Yale only played four men. Brady annexed the only field for the Yale quartet. . The Red-Indian game was featured by personals. Eleven personals were made by both teams in the first half. Wicket and Beam of the Reds, each scored three points. A scrappy battle was waged between the Sammies and-Pershing Quintets. The first half ended three to three. Two field goals in the second half, one by Anderson and one by Hennigar, put the Pershing five in the lead when the final whistle blew. Fouls were predominate in this game. In the last battle between the two cellar teams, the Stutz playing four men handed the Starr quintet a 5 to 2 score. DeBeck was the chief goal getter for the , Stutz players. HaBemeier made the only goal for the Starrs. The league standing is a s follows : W. L. Pet. Pershing 4 1 .800 Reds 3 1 .750 Yale : 3 2 .600 Butler ... 3 2 .600 Indians 2 3 .400 Sammies 2 3 " .400 Stutz 2 3 .400 Starr 0 4 .000 MUNCIE HIGH TO PROTEST LOSS OF DISTRICT TOURNEY MUNCIE, Ind., March 13. The Muncle high school basketball team which lost to Spiceland academy team at Newcastle last Saturday night in the final game of the district tourney, has gathered evidence to present to the officials of the Indiana high school basketball association at Purdue university Thursday, to show that it and not Spiceland should represent the district at the state tournament. The Muncie officials charge irregularities in the decisions of the MuncieSpiceland game. They claim that men were removed from the floor on the grounds that they committed personals which they and their teammates disclaim. Jones and Pjimale, the two strongest men on the Muncie team were removed from the floor during the game.- . The charge also claims irregularity by the time-keeper. It alleges that the time-keeper allowed the play to last into overtime which with both Pylmale and Jones out resulted in Muncie losing the game. No blame is attached to the Spiceland players by the Muncie officials and team. . They say Spiceland played a straight game and won through the irregularity of the officials of the tourney. HMi .

Eddie Rousch is Masked Player

C By N. E. BROWN. Eddie Rousch's bat helped make the Cincinnati. Reds one of the, greatest scoring machines in the National league last season. There is. no Teason why Ed shouldn't give the other batters a run for the swatting championship in the National league in the coming frolic. - Rousch's picture was printed yesterday in the flu-masked player contest. " -The Reds tied with the Cubs last season in scoring the greatest number of runs in the league while winding up third in the standings. They scored 538. Rousch batted .333 in the campaign, slamming out 145 base hits In 113 games. In addition to this he led the league in sacrifice hits a valuable adjunct to his slugging in the way of putting over runs. He laid down thirty-three sacrifices. He was the ' setond busiest little gardener in the league, accepting 333 chance in the fleld. He wound up with a fielding average of .960, perpetrating fourteen boots in the season. Rousch broke into the major leagues as a star via the Federal league. He was obtained by the Giants but landed later with the Reds. He led the National circuit in batting in 1917, hitting at a .341 clip. Set' Em Up OnThe Other Alley ' Some high class bowling was displayed Wednesday night on the Twigg alley whVi the Richmond bowling team annexed a victory from the Rushville bowling team by 26 pins. Both teams bowled the high total number of pins of 2600 and over. In the first round of the evening's bill nothing happened, both teams bowling rather even with Rushville leading. In the second round Cassady annexed 212 pins but the improvement of all the Richmond men in this go gave Richmond the edge. It was in the third game that the bowling reached its highest standard. Wolcott of Rushville the first man to finish his ten frames headed the high score list with 213 pins in one game to his credit. This was equaled by Lichtenfels who tied him for high score when he completed his ten frames.
