RICHMOND HIGH STANDS LITTLE T SHOW AT MEET Eckel Faces Task in Picking Men to Represent School at Indianapolis.

Lack of practice had made it almost Impossible for Coach Eckel to choose men to represent Richmond High school In the triangular meet with Shortrldge and Technical High school at Indianapolis Friday. Eckel will take eleven men to Indianapolis to perform. He will choose them out of the following fourteen men: Emslle, VanAllen. Smith, Motley, Lohman, Smith, Iteld, McMahan, Roberts, Price, Shaffer, Dollins, Motley. Thomas and Evereman. , The possible personnel of the track team will be as follows: 100 yard dash, Emslle, VanAllen; 220 yard dash, Emslle, VanAllen; 440 run, Motley, Smith or Lohman; 880 run. Smith, Reld, Lohman, Roberts, McMahan; mile, McMahan, Roberts or Lohman; shot put, price and Shaffer; discus throw, Price and Shatter; high hurdles, Dollins; low hurdles, Dollins and Motley; broad Jump, Emslle; high Jump, Dollins, McMahan and pole vault, Thomas. In events where more than two men are listed, Catch Eckel will choose only two of those competing to make the trip to Indianapolis as he will be allowed to carry only eleven men. Final decision will be made Friday morning. In case the weather permits staging of the meet, the Richmond High school track team will leave Richmond at 11 o'clock Friday morning for Indianapolis. The team has had two good practices since the call for track men has been Issued, but has not bad any practice for over a week on account of the bad weather. . Indianapolis Better Prepared. The Indianapolis teams have been under the same handicaps but have participated In several meets which make them better prepared to take the honors in the meet. . Technical is being touted . as the winner of the triangular meet, having already defeated both the Anderson and Crawfordsivlle track teams. Indianapolis coaches are not expecting Richmond to give much trouble and expect to cop the honors for the Indianapolis schools easily. Coach Eckel will enter upon the meet with the best he has, but none of the men are in condition for a trying event as the local school has no place for indoor practice. Technical has won most of its meets by second and third places. In the city meet in which the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis. Shortrldge. Technical and Manual High schools competed, Shortrldge placed third and Technical last. This meet will mean little more than practice to the Richmond boys and will prepare them for the track classes that will be held in rapid succession the following month.

AMERICAN i WOMAN DEPORTED.

LONDON, April 17. The deportation from the United Kingdom of Miss Lillian Scott Troy, of San Francisco, an American suffragette, is announced here. Miss Troy was a friend of Baron Lewis Von Horst, formerly of San Francisco, who was interned by the British government in August, 1914.

CARDS j ST. LOUIS Hornsby and Sisler are both coming to the front stronger than ever on the Cardinals' firing line. Their showing against the Browns has reinstated them in the graces of the fans. i TIGERS ROANOKE The Tigers are pulling a slugfest annexing some long scores from minor teams. They are confident that they will be victorious in the series with tho Braves. PIRATES LOUISVILLE Babe Adams was scheduled to twirl for the Pirates in the next few games against the Louisville, Ky Colonels. Bezdeck will take his team to Indianapolis, Friday; YANKEES ORANGEBURG. S. C Aided by the heavy hitting of Bill Lamar, the Yankees have handed the Dodgers six consecutive defeats. Lamar is showing up well as a slabsman. SENATORS PETERSBURG, Va. The Senators came into their own when Ed Hovllii and Harry Thompson, two of Clark Griffith's twirling proteges, turned the trick on the New York Giants lately and made the running of the two teams even. In one game the Senators, aided by Judge's heavy hitting, plied up ten runs against the Giants' three. WHITE SOX MEMPHIS The White Sox tackled the Memphis bunch Wednesday. The trip through the south has put pep into the club and by the time they return to Chicago, Gleason'B pennant winning team will be ready to start the season.

Eggemeyer Seeks Dope On Big League Game Here No word has been received from H. L. Constans, secretary of the Pittsburg National league baseball club, concerning the booking of a St. Louis and Pittsburg game at Richmond, Wednesday, May 7, Elmer Eggemeyer, president of the Richmond Exhibition company announced Thursday. " Eggemeyer is tracing hi3 telegram sent Constans Sunday to seo if it reached its destination. Every attempt to bring the two big leagues teams to Richmond will be made. As Richmond is one of the best drawing towns in the Indiana baseball circles, there seems to be no reason why the two major league clubs would not perform on the Exhibition park next month. Constans, in a letter to Eggemeyer last week, requested that terms be sent in by Tuesday of this week, which Eggemeyer did. He stated Thursday that he thought it highly possible that Constans was making an agreement with the St. Louis club before clinching the game for Richmond.

Both hand and wrist were frightfully cut. He is in the university hospital.

BIG LEAGUE GAMES WILL DECIDE FATE OF RICHMOND POLO

Whether or not Richmond and other Indiana cities will have a big league polo season next year Is a question the two ig league teams representing Muncie and Richmond will decide next week. According to the latest information from the east where the leigue players are completing their season, work will commence in earnest at Muncie Tuesday night, and Richmond Wednesday night. Line-ups of the two teams will remain the same: Muncie. Fahrner, first rush; Thompson, second rush; Griffith, center; Jean, half back, and Pence, goal tend; Richmond, Taylor, first rush; Sox Quigley, second rush; "Doc" Harrold, center; Hardy, half-back and Blount goal. The Coliseum will be the scene of the big battle Wednesday night The Coliseum skating rink was built mainly because of the development of polo in western cities. Back in the eighties polo started In the west, when Janesvllle. Racine, Wis., Galesburg, 111., Cincinnati, Dayton, Richmond, Muncie and Anderson furnished championship teams. Roller skating gradually declined as a sport until 1901 when M. C. Henley of Richmond, Petty Brothers of Muncie and Chauncey Fisher of Anderson revived the sport. The results of that year were so good that during the summer of 1902, western capitalists became active and built new rinks at Richmond, Anderson, Elwood, Muncie and Racine, Wis. The old Richmond rink, used in 1883, stood where the Garfield annex, formerly the Central Christian tabernacle, now stands, on North Twelfth and B streets. This marked the start of the Western polo league which rapidly grew in such favor that it usurped the players of the long established eastern league, and by the close of the season every star in the polo game could be found in the Western league, which was paying better prices than any other league in the country, including the American association, which is the stongest now in the east. In the fall of 1902, a new league came into being. It was the Central polo league, comprising Terre Haute. Danville, Ft. Wayne, Kokorao, Logansport and Lafayette. Tho Western league was composed of six cities. Richmond, Indianapolis, Marion, Anderson, Muncie and Elwood. For several years interest in polo fluctuated between the eastern and western leagues, until this year and last when the eastern leagues held all the good league roller polo players. Next year, however, polo promoters are planning to revive polo in the west and or this reason, eastern players will make another appearance iate this spring on the Coliseum floor. It is hoped that a number of the old cities that once formed the Western league will come in and aid in reviving polo in Indiana. Dayton. O., managers have intimated that they will place a team in the field next fall and Muncie is strong. Newcastle, one of the old contenders in the league, favors polo so that in all probability, league polo will be in full swing in Indiana next year.

British players have been forbiden to enter any tennis tournaments open to subjects of the Central Empires, according to a letter just received by George T, Adee, president of the National Lawn Tennis Association, from H. Anthony Sabelli, secretary, of the British Lawn Tennis association. In addition, British players are prohibited also from taking part in tournaments or competitions organized in any neutral country unless enemy nations are barred. Similar action has been taken in France. . Of tennis conditions in Great Britain, Mr Sabelli says: "Although the prospects for the season are good a complete revival as regards clubs and tournaments cannot be expected until next year. Sixty-four tournaments have been sanctioned by our association only about half the number play

ed in 1913. However, I think there will

h manv more tournament players i

than can be accommodated at the !

small number of tournaments. "The Davis club will, I think, prove of great interest to our spectators, while a number of matches are being arranged in which Australians and South Africans will take part. "A new championship is being instituted for teams representing the navy, the army and the Royal Air Force This triangular event will probably take place at Wimbledon after our championships and will be a threeday affair. Challenge cups and medals will be presented to the winning service. The championship will be an annual affair. "No arrangements have been made so far with regard to take the Davis Cup ties, which will, I think, probably take place in this country, possibly in August." Capt. Watson M. Washburn has. been designated to take charge of the tennis activities in the A. E. F. as assistant to Col. Wait C. Johnson, athletic officer for the American army in France.
