Secretary Constans considers Richmond the logical city in which to stage the contest. Eggemeyer Getting Ready , , Eggemeyer is awaiting direct word from Constans relative to the game." lie said Saturday that there was no reason why the game would not bp scheduled here. He has made all 'the necessary plans for the game and every arrangement will be made to make the game a success, when thu agreement with the two clubs to play Is completed. Some work will have to be done on the diamond to get it Into shape and other repair work will be necessary before the two big league teams can oppose each other on the Exhibition park. Constans letter to Heilbroner follows: "The Pittsburg and St. Louis iclubs are travelling from St. Louis to -Pittsburgh, leaving St. Louis the night of May 6, and I was thinking that the two teams might arrange to play a game together at some town enroute, on May 7. "Can you tell me if the ball park nt Richmond, Ind., is still in fair i shape and could it be played on? I presume Richmond is one of the towns in your new league but if it is not, then you can tell me who to write to in order to make arangements for such a game. Recommends Richmond. "Any Information that you can give to get in touch with someone there that might handle such a game will be appreciated." . Heilbionner answered the letter on Friday, notifying Eggemeyer that the two clubs wanted games hero. Heilbronner's letter to Constans, at Pittsbudg, follows: "In answer to your letter of inquiry regarding Richmond, lnd. , "A letter addressed to Elmer Eggemeyer, president of Richmond baseball club, Richmond. Ind., will receive prompt attention. "The grounds are good, with good grand stand and bleechers. claiming a seating capacity of 4,500. "If you can make arrangements for the game do bo, as it is not only a good ball city but has a good interurban territory to draw from. We are Still working on tho league for this territory and think it will be organized. Richmond is one of the cities of the new league." Printed Yesterday Stock Masked Star Milton Stock, who'll cavort at third for the Cardinals this year, is a jewel that is if there is any truth in the old aaying about consistency. For Stock is tho quintessence of consistency. Stock is the player who was shown In the flu masked player contest yesterday. Milton, along with Dilhoefer and Davis, was traded by the Phils to St. Louis, for Baird, Packard and Stewart this spring. ! Ho had been the third packer of the rhilly crew for four years, going there from Jho Giants in 1915. His consistency is shown in his batting. Ills averages for 1915-16-17-18 were 200, .281. .254, and .274, respectively. His fielding averages were equally as steady and he ranked well In the list. While his hitting never has ben remarkable ho is a timely swatter and is good at getting around once he gets on. He is valuuable as a sacrifice man. In 1917 he was tied with Whitted for second honors in sacrificing with a total of 28. Charley Deal of the Cubs led with 29. Fountain City High Wins First Baseball Game 1 Regardless of the cold weather, the first baseball game In the county was played at Webster Friday when the Fountain City High school team defeated the Webster nine, 7 to 3.

FATHER

This veteran is one of the speed merchants of the big leagues. He is a star fielder and a daring base runner. Vi bats well and consistently. He plays behind one of the greatest pitchers in the game. He is another star in our flu-masked player contest. Can you name him?

iC RANDOM i3PORT NOT The changes in big league baseball this year haven't been confined to the players and magnates. Many of the clubs changed their training camps this spring. Of the fourteen teams which are conditioning in the south and far west only four returned to the quarters they occupied last season. The Cleveland, Washington and Chicago clubs in the American league and the Chicago Cubs in the old circuit were contented with their 191S spring homes. ' For the first time in years two of the major clubs will train at home. Connie Mack's hopefuls and the St. I.iiis Cardinals will try the hometown weather. The Cardinals realize they are talcing a chance, but figure that the spring ought to be as mild as the winter. When Roger Bresnahan tried to. prepare for the 1912 season at St. Louis a series of snowstorms made training impossible and he was finally forced to dash to Mississippi with his string to get the men In shape for the season. The list of training camps is rather interesting to a real buglet. Florida seems to appeal most to the pickers. Five squads are getting kinks in and out of their systems in that state. Three teams are cavorting in Georgia, two in Texas. Calffomia. Indiana. Louisiana and North Carolina boast of one squad each. Here is the list of training camps of the big league clubs this year and last year. NATIONAL LEAGUE 1919 191S. - BROOKLYN Jacksonville, Fla. Hot Springs, Ark. BOSTON Columbus, Ga. Miami, Fla.

Critics who have 6een Frank O'Dowd, the Pacific Coast league hurler signed by. the Yankees, say he is a comer. He led his league in pitching last season and probably would have brought the San Francisco club a good price had not the war halted baseball.

Clem Price Elected Captain Of High Basketball Team Clem Price has been elected captain of the 1919-20 Richmond High school basketball team, according to an announcement Friday. Price played back guard last season. He was considered the logical man for the position and will be the main spring in next year's team. Price played clean basketball and is easily one of the best players on the team. A number of Indiana basketball men complimented him on his playing at the state tourney. Other members of the team this year will be Porter and Dollins, centers; Loehr, sub-center; Vore, forward, with plenty of new material from which to pick a winning five for Price to pilot to victory.

GRAND RAPIDS STILL HOPES FOR REVIVAL OF CENTRAL LEAGUE GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 29. Efforts to revive the Central league with Grand Rapids and Muskegon as members, have not b'een abandoned, it is authoritatively stated by Bert Noblett, local owner, yesterday. Because there has been a lack of concerted effort, due to the setback encountered at the start because fans and Noblett could not agree on the value of the local franchise, local boosters, who want professional play restored here, have been laying down just a trifle. The failure of Ohio cities to come through in expected style has had much to do with the loss of enthusiasm locally. It is the belief that an association can be organized to back the team which will be able to arive at a satisfactory settlement with Noblett. A130, Grand Rapids fans haven't lost faith in Muskegon to come through and provide the necessary second Michigan city, if needed to organize a Central league. Louis Heilbroner of Fort Wayne, delegated by Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Fort Wayne to close up the or: ganizing task in other cities of the league, is -still firm in his belief that the Central will be able to" organize. True tc opinion generally shared by baseDall men who are posted in minor' league affairs, Al Tearney of Chicago was nothing more than a "fill in" as president of the western league. It happens that the western circuit isn't in any better shape today than it was when Tetrney was tpld over the long distance phone that he had been chosen for the task of guiding the circuit over the coals. Tearney jSasn't done any steering, apparently, and Western league club owners will doubtlest- be glad to welcome Emer sion W. Dickerson back to his post as president. When advised that Dickerson would contest the seat, Tearney lost no time in letting the world know that he would not stand in the way. "Y" VOLLEYBALLERS TO ANDERSON FRIDAY The business men's Y. M. C. A. volleyball team will go to Anderson next Friday where they will play the first game in the volleyball tourney 1&U11E1 .llliuii. l lie DLiiruuic vo ao announced Friday by Harding. Five teams will be represented in the meet. They are Anderson, Muncie, Richmond, Marion and Kokomo. The winner of the district tourney will play in the state tourney at Indianapolis, April 19. All members of the team taking part in the games must be business mpn attending Y. M. C. A. classes. Each team will play three times and the winner of the largest number of games will be declared the district j champion. Each team will be com-1 posed of six men. The men repre-t senting Richmond will be chosen from j the following men: Clements, Isley. Dingley, Otten, Holaday, Allen and Thomas. MARION IS FAVORITE IN NEWCASTLE MEET NEWCASTLE, Ind., March 29 As a result of the series basketball games Friday and Saturday in the Junior State Basketball tournament appearances late this afternoon indicated that Anderson and Marion teams will participate in the finals this evening, with Anderson the big favorite. The games this morning resulted as follows: Marlon 18, Newcastle 15; Anderson 60, Rushville second team 2; Rushville first team 13, Lewisville 11. Richmond, represented by a Boy Scout team,. was defeated here yesterday afternoon by Marion by a , 23-to-19 score. Charges that the opponents of the Richmond lads were much older and more experienced at the game were not substantiated when officials of the tournament investigated the claim. The games this afternoon are the. semi finals and will be stated by An-j derson and Spiceland and Rushville j and .Marion. I

RICHMOND INVITED INTO LOOP COMPOSED. OF CITIES WITHIN SHORT RADIUS, OF HERE

Richmond has been invited to enter still another league. W. C. Hartweil, manager of the Newcastle club, conferred with owners of the Richmond club today re garding entrance into a loop made up of Dayton, Springfield, Richmond, j Newcastle, Muncie and Anderson. Newcastle, Muncie and Anderson have been asked to enter the Northern Indiana association, which pivots about Logansport, but are holding off because of traveling expenses. Hartweil proposes a circuit of cities in eastern Indiana and western Ohio to play a schedule of two or three games a week, the players to be recruited from the home cities or elsewhere. He met E. E. Stewart, manager of the Delco team, at Dayton today. The Delcos are anxious to join a league of this kind. If the Indianapolis meeting of old Central league moguls is a fizzle, Richmond will be one of the clubs in the proposed curcuit. The owners are agreed that Richmond must have baseball this year. Hartwell's proposition is the best alternative presented so far. The Northern Indiana association will meet at Kokomo tomorrow. Prospects indicate that Newcastle, Muncie and Anderson will drop out fo the loop. If the Central cannot be revived ! tomorrow, Richmond, Springfield and Dayton undoubtedly will jump into the Hartweil organization. CHAMPS OF 2 STATES WILL CLASH TONIGHT INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 29 The last big basketball game of the season will be fought out tonight at the Y. M. C. A. here when the Indiana independent state champs the Em-Roes meet the Ohio state champions, the Dayton Triangles. On this battle hinges the championship of two states. The Em-Roes are in splendid form to put up a good brand of basketball and it is expected that a large crowd will be present to witness the contest. This is the second game the Em-Roes have played at home. The other game was with the Triangles in which the Em-Roes won by four points. On the Dayton floor the Triangles handed them a defeat, thus making the two teams even. The lineups probably will be as follows: Indianapolis Em-Roes Schoeneman, f; Behrent, f; Smith, c; Babb, fg, and Frankfort, the new man on the team, back guard. Dayton Triangles Bason and Zimmerman, forwards, Thiele center; Mahrt and Reece guards. Garfield First Team Goes Down Before High Freshmen The Garfield first team went down in defeat before the Richmond High school Freshmen, 16 to 12, Friday night at High school gym. The first half ended with the Freshmen leading bv four noints. Garfield fought hard to hold a lead over the I 1. V. . .1 . . j 1 - ' and weight of the men were too much for the Garfield five. The period ended 7 to 3. Wynn of the High school team, was put out in this half on personals. In the second half Good managed to cage the ball three times for Garfield, and aided by Sauter's one field throw and a free toss by Good, the nine points for the half were completed. The Freshmen scored up nine points in this lap of the game, Fitzpatrick making five of the markers, while Taylor and Klute divided the honors for the other two goals. During the entire game Garfield had nine chances at free throwing and only made one, while the High school quintet had six and made two. The teams lined up as follows: Garfield Good, f; Sauter, f; Mattox, c; Kessler, g; Calkins, g; Bentlage, c; Fuller, sub.

Members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks from practically every state in the union were here today to attend the "three big days in Elkdom." The celebration was formally opened with a reception to Grand Lodge officers headed by Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce A. Campbell, of East St. Louis. The feature of the celebration will be a parade Saturday and initiation of more than 2,000 candidates secured during the recent nation wide competitive drive. Reversal of the camouflage principle, greatly Increasing the visibility of its subjects, instead of concealing them by blending them with the background, is declared a possible peace development by the naval officer who developed that particular nature-faking system.
