RICHMOND TO HAVE REVIVAL OF m PRE-WAR SPORTS WITH NEIY YEAR

By THOMAS FA YE. Sport activities in Richmond promise to rcTert to a pre-war. basis with the New Year, and sport lovers will find some form of athletic diversion offered for every evening of the week. Basketball, polo," bowling and Indoor baseball are on the city's athletic schedules. Both the City League and the A. S. M. League bowlers will spend the next , ten days practicing as no more games are scheduled for either league until after Christmas. January 6, will see Feltman's Tramps and the Coco-Colas, of the City League, hooking up In a three game contest that is sure to draw a large crowd of pin fans. These teams have been displaying the best form of any organization in the league and a three game victory will have a far reaching effect for either quintet. Lichtenfels and the A. S. M. ' teams are booked' for the second at traction for the evening. The Hoosiers and Easy Pulls are scheduled to hook up In the first match of the A. S. M. bowling of the new year. The games will be rolled on Twlgg's alleys. At a recent meeting It was decided to change to the larger Alleys. Richmond high school basketball squad will spend the next two weeks Jn an endeavor to get In trim for the Huntington game on January 9. Coach Fries Is at his home In Wisconsin but ' the squad will be under the direction of Clem Price, captain. Price's injured foot Is well again and the next scrap of the R. H. S. will see him at his old nositlon. back-guard. The next scrap will also see a different brand of basketball than was exhibited in the Splceland game, with a possibility that ! Loehr will be shifted to floor guard. Harding to forward, Dollins to forward And Reid to center. Thia would make a heavy and well balanced team. Earlham's basketball squad is scat- . tered to all sections of the country for . the Christmas holidays but each member will keep in condition by playing In gymnasiums of his home town. Sev eral of the squad are remaining In Richmond and will hold a general Milroy Looms Up as Dangerous Opponent to Richmond Hopes 7 That the Milroy high school basketball auintet is one of the most dan gerous opponents of Richmond, can be j gained from the fact that Milroy defeated Brookvill 89 to 17. at Milroy, Friday evening. Brookville has been touted as. having one of the best teams In this district but the Milroy victory seems to gainsay this fact. All of the i Milroy players reach abovo the 72 inch mark, and weigh around 175 pounds. Milroy has not lost a game so far this season. The Connersville Independents continued their winning streak when the Rushville Independents were defeated by a 46 to 30 3Core at Connersville, Friday evening. Rushville attributed its defeat to the smallness of the Connersville floor, and are confident that things will be evened up when Connersville plays a return game on Dec-26. Mayers lead the.scoring for tho Connersville aggregation with nine field goals. Jossup, a team mate, caged five shots from pact the center j I of the floor. Martin ana iieniy copped the most points for the Rushville quintet. HAGERSTOWN TO HOLD BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The annual interclass basketball tournament of the Hagerstown high school will be held in the Hagerstown K. of P. hall, Tuesday evening. The juniors and freshmen will hook up in the first clash and the sophomores and seniors will furnish the attraction in the second battle.

Gatherings From

The aaillnir of the team yacht War rior for Southampton recently started a rumor that this vessel, wnicn is owned by 'Alexander Smith Cochran, has been told to Sir Thomas Llpton to take the place of the Upton yacht Erin, which was lost in the war. During Sir Thomas' recent visit in New York he was in the market for an American yacht and the Warrior was one of those he had under consideration. No confirmation of an actual sale could be had and it was said .the Warrior had gone to the other side to be refitted for Mr. Cochran's uae. The overhauling can be done cheaper on the other side just now than ft can here, according to some of the yachting experts. Sir Thomas was said to be very much disappointed in his efforts while in the U. S. to secure an American steam yacht at anything like a reasonable figure. Yachts had advanced to three or four times their pre-war value, although they were "the same old boats." It is said that the price put on the Warrior was SI,200.000. The Warrior Is a twin screw vessel and one of the largest of America yachts. J3he would be an Ideal boat to convoy the twenty-three meter Shamrock to this side when she Is sent over In April to act as trial horse in the tuning up races of the challenger and as a, tender and living quarters of tKe racing crew during the international races.

Thomas to either buy or charter some vessel for this work. On the other hand it will also be necessary for Mr. Cochran, the owner of the Vanltle, to have some commodious craft handy as a tender for his cup candidate. It has been definitely decided that the Venite will race next spring against the Resolute when the time rolls around to choose the defender of the cup. . The return of Al Reich to the ring will add something to the interest in heavyweight affairs. The blond giant will be very popular if he continues to iake good. He is the type of fighter the tans like; a clean, hard hitter tod a good boxer. Reich had onlv one weakness, but ft was such a bad one that it caused him to desert the ring in despair following his bout with Fred Fulton in the spring of 1916, Fulton stopping him in nine rounds. Lack of aggressiveness was Reich's only falling. What the cause of it was and whether it will be possible tor him to overcome it always has been a mystery to ring followers. Many put it down to want of courage, but others believe that something else was the trouble. Reich certainly acts differently from any other fighter. He has ability renough to be a champion and yet he has been beaten by men whom he outclassed in every respect except fighting spirit. If Reich had but a small ftrain
