f BLOOMINGTON IS DOPED TO TAKE FINALBATTLE Chance for State Basket Honors Jumps When Thorntown Five Loses.
Bloomingon's chances of being state winner in the basketball tournament at Purdue took a Jump Friday when that team easily outclassed the Manual quintet Rnd Crosm, Thorntown's ptar guard was injured in the HuntingThortnown fiasco, in which Thorntown was victorious, 23 to 14. In the first half of the HuntingtonThorntown fracas the Huntington lads held -their own, keeping within two points of the fast Boone county five. The first half ended 12 to 10 in favor of the victors. "In the next period of play Kashner led an assault that netted four field Koala in rapid succession for the Thorntown five. It was in this period of the game that Cross had to be removed from the game. The extent of his injury la not known but It is thought that he will not be able to play in the Blooming- " ton-Thorntown game Saturday after noon, fcven should he play, he will not be up to his usual form because of his injury. In the Friday afternoon games Franklin threw a scare into Crawfordsville and at one time in the first period of play was holder of the long end of the score. The final result of the game was 18 to 16, in favor of Crawfordsville. Emerson Is Favored. The other two games on the afternoon hill were slow and tame with Iogansport winning from Spiceland Academy, 9 to 5. and Kokomo from Brazil, 11 to 6. Neither of these winners can extend themselves enough to go into the finals or semi-finals, is the belief of the basketball men at the tourney. With the results of two days of the tourney to Judge from, state banketball dopesters are casting aside some of the teams picked for winners and placing new teams on the list for the finals. Whether Thorntown can cope with the speedy Bloomington five is a question that has been cast now almost entirely in favor of the scrappy team from the Indiana university town. , Bloomington after being almost put out by Richmond in its first game has easily outclassed its other opponents, which makes Richmond basketball bugs sad, as they feel that had Richmond annexed the first game of the state tourney bill, it would playtin the semi-finals. Bloomington is almost sure to play in the finals, but fans fall to agree as to which team it will play. Emerson and Crawfordsvillo setra to be the two best bets with odds on Emerson of Gary..,,, , If Bloomington wins the finals Saturday night it will be the first time that the state champion has come from any other part of the state other than Boone, Montgomery and Tippecanoe counties. RANDOM IPORTNOTO Pitcher Brady is one of the ycung Yankees signed up Brady is not entirely a stranger to New York fans, nor has he had any real opportunity to display his pitching wares as a Yankeee. He was with the club at Macon in 1916, but was released to Toledo before the opening of the season. He was recalled by Bill Donovan late in the 1917 campaign and did a littlo pitching at the Polo grounds, but all last season, or as long as the league operated, he was with Roger Bresnahan's Toledo club of the American association. He finished the Beaton with an even break in victories and defeats, though his club's winning percentage was just under the .300 mark. Huggln's scouts have decided that ho is worth another trial in the majors, so he will bo taken to Jacksonville this month. Bob MeUraw, who was with the Yanks hint season until called to the colors, also has been added to the list of Jacksonville tourists. He spent several months overseas, but returned recently and went to Camp Grant, near Chicago. McGiaw created a very favorable 'impression on Huggins last spring and the Yankee leader is inclined to the belief that the former University of Colorado star i3 destined to shine as a major leaguer. Alex Ferguson of Bloomfleld, X. J., who has had a previous tryout with the Yankees, has received his discharge at Camp Meade and will be ablo to start with the squad for Jacksonville on March 21. Ferguson won sixteen and lost three games at Bridgeport last summer before the Eastern league disbanded on July 20. lie led the league in strikeouts as well. When Ferguson was with the Yanks in 1916 he was a bit frail for major league pitching, but he has since taken on about twenty pounds, on indicated that he can now stand and his record at Bridgeport last seapknty of work. Dutch "Leonard hurled the only nohit game last year when he let Detroit down without a bingle June 3. Larry Cheney uncorked five will pitches on one game against St. Louis July 9 last year. Ferdinand Stubblefleld Schupp has signed his contract with the Giants for the coming season. The Louisville kid lingered long before signing after receiving his contract from the club, but no alarm was felt because of this, for Ferdie is usually dilatory in such matters and had no complaint to make over the terms offered to him. He reports that his valuable left arm Is In good condition and that he expects to regain his old form this year. As Larry Doyle has accepted terms, there are now only four regulars on the Giants' roster who may be classed as "holdouts," though the case of none is serious. They are Poll Perritt, who has not yet confirmed to McGraw the report that he intends to quit the game; Fred Anderson, Fred Toney and Earl Smith.

This is one of the players in our flu-masked puzzle. He is one of the greatest youngsters that ever broke into the big leagues. We have arranged a series of typical ORGANIZATION OF . LEAGUE IS HOPED AT SUNDAY MEET PEORIA, 111., March 15. The plans for the Sunday meeting, according to President Ryan, will be to perfect a league organization, elect a president then let the league working a3 a body go out and line up the two cities needed to make It an eight club cir cuit. Heretofore the efforts of the organization work have been confined to the activity of one or two clubs, one mostly and Peoria is the city to take the lead In every league formation scheme, advanced so far this winter and spring. President Ryan wasn't enthused very much over the outlook today, but Is still clinging to the hope that something will develop in the eleventh hour which will bring about the new league. "Peoria ,is ready to start anytime and despite the fact that we haven't a player signed or a manager lined up we will give them a race in the championship fight," he said. "But other clubs need more time to get going, and it Is for their welfare we are pulling for an early settlement." TERRE HAUTE. March 15. There is a possibility of Terre Haute not being represented in either the Central or Three-I league this season, and it i3 certain if it is not represented this year it will not b in 1920. In the first place less than 1,000 shares In the Terre Haute Baseball Fans association have been sold, although the campaign has been running for several weeks. EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 15. At a meeting of the Evansville Baseball a meeting oi ine Kvansviue aseoau i Fans' association Thursday afternoon a committee was named to solicit sub scriptions of stock in the association. About $4,000 of the necessary $12,500 for the stock company has been subscribed without any solicitation and the fans expect the balance will be guaranteed by the first of next week. ROCKFIRD. 111., March 15. Fans believe $15,000 will be subscribed here easily for the Central league club. Hugh Nicol started one of hi3 clubs here on $350 and another on $700. In one season the wife of one of the officials of the club helped meet the first payroll with her savings, trusting the following Sunday would be fair. If it had been a rainy Sunday she would have lost her money, but the day was bright, the attendance good, she was paid that night with a ten dollar note extra as a reward for her gameness and the club went through the season. Set' Em Up OnThc Other Alley Rolling an excellent game Friday night the Twigg bowling team rolled a high total score of 2,616 pins, winning three games from the Reliance five on the Twigg alley. -Both the Progress Hat and Haberdashers came nut nn ton High scores of the evening were made byFosler with 259, Youngflesh second, with 243, and Ellis third, with 200 pins. Gavvy Cravath led the National league last year in homo runs with eiRht, while Babe Ruth and Tillie Walker led the Americans with eleven each. Heinio Groh's legs may be short, but they were long enough last year to let him grab the most runs in the National league. He rang up eighty-eight.

pictures of big league stars disguised only by flu masks and so you can test your knowledge of the players. The man shown above broke into Masked Star Friday Was Bobby Veach By N. E. BROWN. One of the first of the Tiger regulars to send his signed contract to Owner Navin this spring was Bobbly Veach. Which would indicate that Eobby is anxious for the 1919 season to start. Veach, who is the player shown in the fiu-masked puzzle yesterday, ought to be ono of the stars of the American league again this season. This classy outfielder made a crackerjack running mate for Ty Cobb the last two campaigns. Of the outfielders who played in a major portion of the games in the short schedule last year Veach was one of the leading three. Amos Strunk and Nemo Leibold were the others, based on the activities and clean fielding of the gardeners. Veach participated in 122 contests in the field and made only seven errors, fiielding at a .977 gait. He rapped out 139 hits, including twenty-one doubles, thirteen triples and three that sent him clear around. Hia batting average for the season was .270. It was no fault of Bobby's that the Tigers wound up in seventh place. He and Cobb did their best to wreck game after game and put the Tigers on the large end of the score. But poor hurling, ragged fielding and poor batting by the other members wrecked the team's chances. The club finished sixth in slugging. That's an awful showing for the so-called mighty Tiger band which has been famous as a heavy-hitting crew for years. Veach and Cobb wil have a new associate in the outfield this year Chick Shorten. Shorten was obtained from the Red Sox in the deal that sent Vitt to Beantown. n ' a U reOTia 10 ilQVe lifU Bowling Tournament TOLEDO, O., March 15.

Wing shots are made, not born! It is the prevalent fallacy, repeatedly heard, that the underworked stork volplanes to earth, conveying to this mundane sphere a tiny package of humanity' endowed by the All-Wise Providence with special ability, powers or concessions, which it is empowered to successfully perform, without study, practice or thought, or with gifts which entitle one to a preferred sphere in the business, musical or sport world. This is a monumental mistake. Special accomplishments in a marked degree in any given direction are acquired by a combination of mentality, coupled with adept touch and ability to execute. Concentration of the combined attributes as outlined, makes experts in life or sports. A "born musician," a "bom mechanic" or a "born shooter" are frequently applied to persons who have made a marked success in any venture. Thoughtless assertions. The mechanic as a boy essayed the construction of a toy or household necessity; he coupled thought with industry, reasoning from cause to effect, resulting in credible constructive efforts. Commendation from parents and friends, stimulated further mechanical labor and accompanying thoughL the work becomes a pleasure; he gradually ac quires knowledge with ability to exe cute. He is heralded "a born mechanic." Environments and associations frequently open channels or blaze trails, when persistently followed they will lead to unusual and marked sue cess.

Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated in the bowels and absorbed Into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold, weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the Joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness jand pain called rheumatism.
