PLAN TOURNEY FOR INDEPENDENT TEAMS OF SIXTH DISTRICT

r a for all the Independent teams of this district to be staged In the T. M. C. A. some time In February, are being deTeloped by K. W. Harding, physical director. Letters will be sent by Harding to the independent teams of Hagerstown. Liberty, Connersville, Brookville, RushYille, Cambridge City and Whitewater. It is expected that all these towns would enter teams. Richmond would be represented by the Em-Roes, Panhandles, Marines, Reserves and Old-Hi teams. The winner of this tournament would represent. Richmond at a state tourney for independent amateur teams at Indianapolis, next March. This tournament at the Capitol City is open to all teams of the state not averaging over 150 pounds of weight and none of whose players are over 20 years of age. PLAN BOXING CARD HERE IN JANUARY Richmond fight fans are planning for a headline boxing card, to be shown here within the next six- weeks. .Interest in boxing has revived here, and In spite of the farce staged recently at the.Coliseum. In which about 600 fans were the only ones "whippea, promoters oi me game ciaim that a good crowd will turn out for a first rate show. The latest bill as outlined would include Jack Dillon and some other high class neavy as tne cmei auracuoa. Dick O'Brien, of Cincinnati, has been prominently mentioned as an opponent for the "Hoosier Bearcat" "Yank Druley. one of the best middle weights In this section seems to have caught the fancy of a large number of fans and will probably be included on this bill. Bill Ryan, recently defeated by Mike Gibbons in a ten round scrap, has been mentioned as an opponent for Druley. Ryan Is one of the top-notch-ers of his weight and is picked by critics as a future champ. He is only 20 years old. "Bud" Wallace, of Richmond, and Joe Walters, of Connersville, would preliminary bout'. POLO SEASON TO OPEN ON JAN. 7 The Richmond City Polo league may bold its opening clash in the Coliseum on Jan. 7. The schedule has been completed but will not be announced until the players composing the four teams are chosen. About 30 polo enthusiasts were on hand for the initial practice that was held Monday night Old time speed and pep was shown by the Qulgley brothers. Harrison Fry, Walt Evans and Harry O'Metz. This quintet will be divided amcng the four teams, however. The playing strength of the four teams will be about equal. The best rushers will be on teams that are weak in the goal tend position and the best goal tends will be listed with teems that are slightly interior m tne rush jibs.

The defeat sustained by the Whitewater basketball quintet at the hands of Cambridge City last Friday evening, is rankling in the hearts of the Whitewater rooters and a furious scrap is forthcoming when Cambridge City plays a game on January 23. Whitewater started the season in great shape but has fallen down during the past month. The inability of the first string players to finish a game is blamed for the last minute defeats sustained. Both Fountain City, Cambridge City defeated Whitewater in ' the last few minutes of play, and after substitutes had been sent in the game. The local team is confident of making a good showing in the district tournament at Richmond, next March. The Christmas vacation is being spent by the members of the basketball squad in conditioning themselves for the hard grind boked for after Christmas. Hagerstown, Cambridge City and Centerville are three of the teams on the schedule. Baseball Promoters Plan New Circuit to Include Local Team GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 23. Plans for the expansion of the ThreeEye Baseball League and the formatfoa of a new Central League were discussed here yesterday by A. R. Tearney. president of the former organization, and E. W. Dlckerson, promoting the new circuit. With the object of enlarging the Three-Eye League to an eight-club circuit, Tearney proposed that the Central League relinquish Fort Wayne and Richmond (Ind.) territorial rights to his organization. Dlckerson declined to do this unless it can be definitely determined that enough Michigan cities will come into the new Central League to make up a strong Class B circuit. This is expected to be decided Dec. 80 at a meeting of club owners from Saginaw, Bay City, Flint and Battle Creek. An effort also was made at the conference today' to effect a compromise on Dlckerson's claim for $6,000 back salary as president of the Western League. No result was. announced. Elmer Eggemeyer of the. Richmond club would not discuss the proposition today.

Jimmy Wilde. Probably the most interesting event of the year to the fistic enthusiasts was the keeling over of Jess Willard by Jack Dempsey. But the arrival of Jimmy Wilde, the English flyweight. in this country, to show his wares can be ranked next to the Fourth of July event in importance. American fans have been wondering pounds looked and acted like. Wilae was outpointed by' Jack Sharkey in the Briton's first appearance in the United States, but lived up to hft rep of being a mighty fast and clever boy. Wilde is a ."spider." He stands five feet two Indies tall and weighs within, four pounds of 100. He is now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age and has been fighting since1 he was eighteen. It is said that he never received real lessons from any able boxer. He has fought over 300 bouts and his showing in those has mado him easily the idol of the British Isles. Wilde is credited with victories over Joe Lynch and Pal Moore, Americans, under British rules, the bouts taking place in London. Taney Lee. now British featherweight champ, gained the most notable home ; vistory over Wilde by defeating him 1 in 1915. but was defeated by Wilde 1 the following year. Wilde Is married and has two children. PROHIBITION (Continued from Page One) Volstead prohibition enforcement law providing machinery for enforcing the war , time bill and the eighteenth amendment, passing it with an overwhelming majority in both houses of congress. The president vetoed it, and congress Immediately repassed It over his veto with more than the necessary two-thirds majority in both houses. Test Volstead Act. "The liquor men brought suits to test the constitutionality of the Volstead act and the case is now pending in the United States Supreme Court, that body having adjourned Monday until January 5 without having rendered a decision on the Volstead act or the question of whether 2 per cent beer is intoxicating. A decision may be expected early next year." Anti-saloon men are hoping that the court will admit appeals which have been made by the state of Rhode Island and certain liquor interests in the state of New Jersey for hearings on the question of the legality of the eighteenth amendment in its submission to the states by congress, and whether it was legally ratified by the necessary state legislatures, Mr. Nich olson said. "It will have to be done sooner or later," said he. Reduced Arrests'. Referring to effects of prohibition during the past year, Mr. Nicholson pointed to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Louisville, and other cities which in every instance have shown a marked reduction In total number of arrests of all causes I "In Louisville, for instance, there were more than 5,200 arrests for crime in July, August and September, 1917; during the same months in 1919 there were less than 1,300 arrests. "The workhouse in Indianapolis has been closed, as has the workhouse in Camden, N. J., while the number of tragic and sudden deaths in the city of Boston, for instance, has fallen off 50 per cent. In regard to the world situation, Mr. Nicholson said that the World League Against Alcoholism organized this year with representatives in England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria, Mexico, Japan, Canada, and other countries, was already taking some noteworthy steps. Steps have already been taken in England, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and China. Scotland will vote on a local option act in the fall of 1920, he pointed out. The drys won in an election in New Zealand last week, having lost with a very email number last year. The first aerial wedding journey on record was that of Lieutenant and Mrs. J. Elwood Boudwin of the United States flying corps, who made the start from Boiling 'field. Washington.

Heaters Make Targets of Glass Insv&ators BRAZIL, Ind , Dec. 23. Hunters In this county have been using the large glass insulators on property of thei Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company as targets to sharpen their shooting eyes. While the practice may assist the marksmen in bagging more game, it is said to have cost the traction company, nearly $200 . in labor and material for repairing, the damage. A recent investigation resulted in the finding: of thirty , large Insulators shot off and the cross arms on several of the poles burned off. One production company In Brazil, which is provided with power by the traction- company, - had to shut down while repairmen replaced the shattered - insulators and, burned off cross arms.PURDUE ROAD.
