A RICHMOND TURNS DOWN CHANGE TO GET IN THREE-I

Promoters Will Attempt to Reorganize League After Old Central Plan. The Richmond baseball promoters announced Thursday that Richmond would not enter the Three-I league, but that an attempt would be made to havo lague baseball here this year. A telegram was sent to A. R. Tearney, president of the Three-I league, plating that Richmond could not colfcider entering that league aa proposed by Tearney. Tearney's plan was vo operate an eight-club circuit composed of Richmond and Fort Wayne, on the eastern end, with Bloomlngton, Peoria, Moltne, Evansvllle, Terre Haute and Rockford. Tearney sent word to the Richmond management that he had been recalled to Chicago on urgent business and would be unable to reach Richmond, whereupon the Richmond club owners telegraphed him that this club would not consider malting such long jumps. Old Central Plan Up An attempt will be made to frame a circuit along the lines of the old Central league proposition which Richmond club owners believe can be made 10 go. With this idea In view, Elmer Eggcmeyer and Joe Hill will go to Muncio Thursday afternoon to attempt, to interest Muncie in starting a class B ball club. If Muncie will swing in line, a proposal may be made to Bert Noblett of Grand Rapids that will compromise the situation and allow the majority of the old clubs to get together. The idea, pure and simple, is to enlist the interest of Muncie and the aid of Elmer Redelle of Springfield, who Is going to Indianapolis Thursday where the league magnates will meet and settle upon a definite plan. It Is thought that overtures will be made to Charles Carr of Indianapolis, to accept the presidency of the league and consolidate the other cities now in a controversy over the presidency. Both Noblett of Grand Rapids and Heilbronner of Fort Wayne have not been able to get together because of petty differences of this kind. Muskegon Might Join With Richmond, Springfield, Muncie end Fort Wayne agreeing, It is now thought that Grand Rapids and Muskegon will join and a smaller circuit with about the same mileage a3 the Old Central can be started this year. Evansvllle has been associated with the Central league ever since it has been playing class B baseball and it is thought that that city will affiliate itself with a circuit made up of old Central towns. Whether Evansvillt; comes in or not a six-club circuit will be planned. Yesterday's Masked Star George Sisler By N. E. BROWN A player named Sisler said "Gee, A major league star I would be." He played like a bear Now some fans declare A second Ty Cobb er is he. The discussion as to whether George Sisler is as great a star as Ty Cobb will be renewed with more gusto than ever as soon as the baseball fur begins to fly this spring. Sisler, to my mind, is the only man in baseball who approaches Ty Cobb as a super-player. Sis!er ha3 the batting eye, the speed, the pep and the brains of Ty. The only thing Sislsr lacks is the daring, the sixth sense which makes Cobb the most feared player at bat and on the bases in baseball. ' One trait in Sioler which undoubtrdly has been a contributing factor in his rise to fame is his modesty. In a recent story about himself in "Baseball Magazine," Sisler tells frankly wherein Ty is greater than he. Si)fr says he would not be afraid to race Cobb in a straightaway dash, but that Cobb's great ability to start instantaneously makes him the better man on the bases. Coupled with this Is Cobb's daring. I The young collegian states that Cobb J

U the greatest place hitter in tne game and tells incidents to show the quick thinking and cunning of Tyrus. Siskr's history is well known. Branch Rickey picked him up while ylie was setting the college baseball ! world on end by his work with the University of Michigan team. He was winning games single-handed, by his pitching, batting and daring base run ning. He stepped from the university campus to the major leagues joining the Browns, then under Rickey's regime. Sislf r's first season with the Browns was in 1915. He played in eighty-one names and batted .285. He jumped into the charmed circle of .300 hitter3 the next season and has been up there ever since. He finished eighth in the batting list in 1916 with a .305 average. That was the year Cobb fell off and Speaker copped the crown. In 1917, Sisler's best year, he swatled the old apple at a .331 gait and ran second to Cobb. Last year he finished third with a .341 average. In the four seasons he has played at first and in the outfield and has pitched with equal ability. lAte last season he applied for a commission in the gas and flame division of the army and received it. He

was prepared to lead a division n the work at the front when peace came. Indianapolis Bowler Goes To Second Place in Tourney TOLEDO. O., March 27. A. Pollard, of Indianapolis went into second placfe in the singles in the National bowling tourney Wednesday, rolling the second phenomenal score of the tourney, a 714 count. Pollard started with a 223 count, .fame back with 244 and wound up fwith a 246 game. Jimmy Smith of Milwaukee regarded as world's bowling champion hit 670 with strongs of 204. 255 and 211. annexing seventh, place. F. Fox of Indianapolis went into ninth place with 663.

FRESHMEN WIN FROM EARLHAM SENIORS The FYeshmen stacked up against the Seniors Wednesday afternoon in the last game played between the two classes in the Earlham girls basketball tournament, and much to the surprise of everyone, the Freshmen came out with the long end xt the score, , The teams were evenly matched and the game was hotly contested but the Freshmen showed their old-time skill end came out on top 11 to 8, when the whistle blew. In the second game the Junior team ran up a score of 20 points against the bewildered Sophomores' one basket. Although the Freshmen won Wednesday afternoon, they have been defeated twice before and their chances of winning the tournament are dimmed fOr the finals will be played" between the Juniors and Seniors unless one of these teams has a losing streak. RANDOM T IPORTNOTK5 Manager Jack Coombs of the Phillies is trying to land Dick Kerr from the Milwaukee club of the American Association. Last year Kerr's box work was the sensation of that minor league. He was the Iron man of the huriers, taking part in twenty-eight games and the total number of innings pitched wa3 207. He won seventeen contests and was charged with only seven defeats. His record Is all the more remarkable when it is considered that he was pitching on a second division club. The outfit finished in fifth place with a record of winning thirty-eight games and losing thirtyfour. Last summer when Kerr was distinguishing himself by pitching double-headers Pat Moran, then manager cf the Phillies, made an unsuccessful attempt to bring the twirler into the majors. Connie Mack of the Athletics will experiment with a former second baseman of his this year. He has just completed a deal by which Roy Grover of the Seattle club again will play with his team. Grover played 139 games at second for the Athletics in 1917, hitting. 2244 and fielding .960. Bob Geary, a pitcher who gave up baseball for the army last year, also has signed a contract. In connection with the booming of tennis in this country there Is a movement on foot to bring Mile. Lenglen, the young French player, here this summer. Peck Griffin, one the former national double champions, now an officer of the A. E. F., writes from France that Mile, Lenglen could give Molla Bjurstedt half fifteen and beat her. Capt. R. N. Williams writes that the French girl could allow Miss Bjurstedt a full fifteen and win from the Norse star. Since both Griffin and Williams know Miss Bjurstedt's style and ability to a nicety, it is safe to say that Mile. Lenglen is truly a remarkable player, and would prove a sensation here. It she comes it will have to be through the generosity of followers of the game, for she has not the means, and the national association will not establish j precedent and offer her expenses. Although he has passed his fortieth milestone, Joe McGinnity is still pitch ing and pitching winning ball at that. The once famous "Iron Man," who helped to win two National league pennants and a world's championship for John Joseph McGraw and the Giants, is now a member of the Vancouver club of the Pacific Coast In-, ternatioual league. 1 McGinnity has lost most of his ' speed of former days, but his good : control and deceptive underhand ball j still enable him to fool the minor league batters. The "Iron Man" was one of the leading pitchers in the Pacific Coast International league last season. He won nine games and lost two for a percentage of .818. John Lobert, erstwhile Giant third sacker and a popular figure in the major leagues until an injury to his knee forced him to retire, is back on the job as coach of the baseball squad at West Point, a position he first filled last season. Lobert was very successful in that capacity In 1918 and turned out a fine team in spite of the fact that the cSnditions which obtained at West Point in the stirring days of last summer were not conducive to an ideal setting for a baseball coach anxious to make good. The total damage in the north of France, including buildings, agriculture, furniture and public works, is estimated at 64,500,000,000 francs, or about $13,000,000,000. Good Feet For Sale w.

BAD WEATHER HALTS SUBURBAN LOOP PLAN Owing to the inclement weather, promoters of the Richmond Suburban league were unable to attend the meeting Wednesday night Charles Feasel, manager of the Miller-Kemper team, postponed the meeting for one week, setting it for 8 p. m., Wednesday, April 2, at the Y. M. C. A. The possibilities of enlarging the scope of the circuit were discussed Wednesday night. Manager Feasel thought It possible to include Liberty and Connersville if those two towns could produce paying clubs. He was optimistic concerning the outcome of the league and with fair weather, expects a good representative meeting Wednesday night. Feasel stated that the clubs entering the circuit would have some excellent ball material this year and that the Richmond Suburban league, once organized and started, would put on some ball exhibitions as good, he predicts, as the Northern Indiana league organized last Sunday will be able to do Lynn has always been a strong sup-I-orter of its local team and turns out well at the games. "Doc" Meredith of Lynn, who will represent that town next Wednesday night, has the making of a strong team. Both Whitewater and Fountain City play fair ball, and with James Robinson and Glenn Jennings on the Whitewater end, and Robert Thomas and Forrest Lacey pushing at Fountain City, both of these clubs will be able to hold up their end of the league. Manager Feasel has scheduled his first game for the Miller-Kemper team with the Whitewater nine, the last Sunday of April, at Whitewater. From the eastern end of the pro posed circuit, is Charles Bennett of Eaton. Eaton, for a number of years, has turned out a team that has played mostly around Camden and Liberty and has had very little opportunity to come to Richmond. William Wilcoxen will line up the New Paris club and place a team in the field that will be able to cope with the others. In the west, Ray Jones will pilot the Centerville club in the circuit. Whether the league will extend its territory further to Cambridge City ?nd Hagerstown will have to be decided at the meeting next Wednesday night. The proposed circuit has seven clubs that are ready to go and four or five are in the offing. Provided the league sticks to its Sunday baseball schedule, which would start early in May and play only on Sundays and holidays, it could be made one of the best Sunday attractions for the fans of the national pastime. Manager Feasel has lined up one of the best semi-pro teams he believes it possible to find around Richmond and is daily adding more players to his prospects. Robert Hinshaw of Newcastle probably will be added to the club. He is said to be a fast. 10 boys A complete line of the famous MALLORY HATS

Starrs Win First Game In Garfield Tournament The Starrs staged a surprise Wednesday night when they defeated the Stutz .on the Garfield Annex basketball floor by a 4-to-2 score. This is the first game the Starrs have won. The Pershing crew incdeased its lead at the top, winning from the Sammies 3 to 1, while the Reds dropped their game to the Indians. 2 to 1. Yale defeated Butler, 4 to 3. As the basketball season draws to a close in the Garfield leagues, the competition grows kener and all the teams become more evenly matched in playing ability. In. the first half of the Starr-Stutz game, Davenport caged the first marker, followed in the second half by one from Hasemeier. Two points marked up by the Stutz were made by free throws from DeBeck. Anderson scored one goal for the Pershings in their game with the Sammies, Cunningham making a free toss while the Sammies, through Phillips,, made one fre throw. In the next.twoj close games the Reds led the-Indians in the first half, 1 to 0 but Mullen I was able to chalk up a field shot that j won the game for the Indians. Two j fields by Norton put Yale on the win-, ning side of the score against Bly's' j three points made by the Butlerites. j The Baxter basketball team finally defeated the Garfield smaller boys' 1 team by a score of 4 to 1, the same evening.

(By , Associated Pressv PARIS, Wednesday, "March 26. Stephen Pichon, foreign minister, said this afternoon in the chamber of deputies, that the struggle against the Bolbheviki was iiot a declaration of war against Russia. His address, which was .made ia.reply. to Interpellations made on Tuesday by Marcel Cachin and Ernest La Font was bitterly criticized by Socialist deputies and for a time the .greatest disorder prevailed in the chamber. After pointing out that- the allied policy in Russia was not a.'fwar," but a "pacifying" policy, M.
