EARLHAM QUINTET

MAY BE CHANGED I FOR ROSE CONTEST ; Coach Mowe will start the most strenous week of the season for Earl.ham basketball players, when they - gather on the coliseum floor Monday afternoon." Mowe Is dissatisfied with the show. ins being made by some of the holders of varsity positions, and unless

there Is a marked Improvement 'shown, a changed lineup may take the floor against Rose Poly. Friday night. The next two weeks will either make or break the Quakers as far as the I. C. A. L. championship is concerned. Three games are to be .. played, one with Rose Poly on Friday ; night, the Indiana Dentals on SaturV day night and with Wabash on next Friday night. The latter scrap is the object towards which Mowe is shaping the course of the Quaker machine. A " vlctroy towards which Mowe is shaping the course of the Quaker machine. A victory over the Little Giants would , practically clinch the championship ; for the Quakers. No word has been received from the Indianapolis Em-Roes as to the game, on Jan. 30. but Mowe expects to hear ' from them by the middle of the week. The Em-Roes demanded an unreason- ' able guarantee for the game and Mowe would not meet the demand. He offerr ed a very fair proposition, however, find expects the Indianapolis team to accept. The Ft. Wayne K. of team ' may be scheduled In case the Em-Roe ' plan falls through. The K. of C. team : seems to have the strongest Une-up

In the state at present, including Stonebreaker, Bacon and Zimmerman. Thic team defeated the Purdue quintet Saturday night and Purdue defeated tho Em-Roes last week.

DURANT ENTERS RACE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 5. Clifford Durant, millionaire son of V. C.

Durant, hor.d of the General Motors company, has registered tho . first

entry for tho Eighth International 500Mile Sweepstakes race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. , Monday, May

The sixth annual meeting of the National Baseball Federation will convene January 1(5, in Cleveland.' At the present time the federation is providing for. three classes of sandlot players it finds to be thriving in the United States. There is Class A (amateur) for the strictly amateur player, the young man. or boy who receives no monetary remuneration for his 'services as a ball player at any time during the season ; . Class AA (industrial) for the players who do not receive In any, form .whatsoever any stipulated remuneration for their services as players with the clubs with which they are registered In their city associations, but who go out now and then with picked teams, and get a few

dollars as part of the diwy on the

games; and Class AAA (semi-professional) for the players who get money or other rewards for playing with their teams but have a bona fide means of earning their livelihood apart from playing baseball. The officers of the National Baseball Federation are much concerned about' the' exploitation of the amateur ball players by individuals and organizations for financial gain. For some time past It has been very hard to find a simon-pure amateur ball player, except among the younger lads. The more skilled players demanded and received sums of money and other rewards for their services as ball players. Teams playing in enclosed parks participated in the division of the net gate, receipts, and many firms and individuals backing clubs have paid players on the said clubs. The federation,

while recognizing that the more skilled players are entitled to whatever they can secure for their skill, as ball players, insists that these kind of players be segregated from those who play the

game . for the love of the sport, and j that more attention be paid to the

young boys just taking up the game.

The federation officers favor mu

nicipal control of sandlot baseball as

part of the public recreation and welfare movement, so that baseball playing fields will be provided and maintained, umpires' fees paid; etc., by the municipality. This gives every boy and young man an opportunity of playing on open fields under the best auspices without any heavy expense to himself. It also' provides wholesome recreation without cost to the men, women and children of the community in witnessing the sport. ' The officers and directors of the National - Baseball Federation the past year included the following: President, William S. Haddock, Pittsburg; first vice president, James H. Lowry, Indianapolis; second vice president, Joseph D. Thomas, Akron; secretary, TOm Nokes, Johnstown, Pa. ; treasurer,

Virgil E. Zetterlind, Detroit; counsel. C C. Townes, Cleveland; directors,

Ralph S. Davis, Pittsburg; A. C. Fe

brey. Buffalo; Doik Novarlo, Cleveland; A. C Chubb, Chicago, and Cliff E. Martin, Cincinnati. . Owing to the press of his business affairs. Secretary Tom Nokes has announced his retirement as an executive officer of the federation, after five years of volunteer effort In helping to

ouild up the organization. It Is planned if conditions warrant, to name a paid secretary to devote all or part of his time to the federation, with headquarters here. . " ' Jack Quinn. star pitcher of the New York Yankees, was one of the players

who invaded Cuba after the American league season to pick up some of the easy money floating around the island republic. Quinn pitched in three games and did not allow the Cubans a single run. He blanked a team which had Luque of the Reds pitching for it, and showed as much stuff as ever in his career. If ' Jack could get the lucky breaks in some of his close games in the American league he would come pretty close to being the leading pitcher of the organization. Milroy Continues Streak; Beats Sandusky, 22-15 Milroy continuad its winning streak at the expense of the Sandusky high school quintet, at Milrcy. Saturday night, tho final score being 22 to 15. The Decatur county quintet put up one of the stiffest brands of opposition

encountered by Milroy this year.

The first half ended with Murooy

in the lead by three -points and this margin was maintained until tho last

few minutes of play, when innis, Mil

roy forward, broke away for two clean

shots. Milroy clashes with the Lib

erty quintet next Friday night, but

Milroy backers are expecting an easy

victory.

EATON INDEPENDENTS L08E The Eaton Independents were completely outclassed by the Campbellstown .quintet In the basketball scrap that was staged in Campbellstown last Friday night, the home team winning by a 62 to 10 score. Eaton started the scoring, but the first half ended

with them only showing two points to

the 34 counted by the locals.

The visitors were able to do a little better in the second half, scoring three neld and two foul goals. Stlgglerean

and Magill formed the main scoring combination for the home team while Taylor showed to best advantage for

Eaton.

Liberty Shows Strong; Win

Over Hagerstown, 22-1 7

v Encouraged' by the achievement of Fountain City, the Liberty high school basketeers came through with a 22 to 17 victory over Hagerstown. at Liborty, Saturday night. Although defeated, Hagerstown put up a game fight and It was only in

the last few minutes of play the homo ; team gained a commondlng lead. Libortv rr1etorH flrnt ttrA th first hnlf

ended with Liberty on the long end of an 8 to 7 score. The teams were about evenly matched in team work and defensive play, but the home team showed the most accuracy, Root trapped tho most points for the losers, while McMaban and Barnhart led the locals. By capturing this game, " Coach Snook's warriors and backers have once more put in claims on the district championship. Samuels, who was the-principal cog in last year's machine, will be able to get back In the game Jan. 23. His presence will make Liberty ono of tho strongest contenders in tho district. Liberty will clash with tho Milroy quintet on tho latter's home floor next

Friday, and Coach Snook is confident

his warriors will make a good show ing.

Bobby Roth, slugging outfielder, has

moved again. He is one of the men who figured in the recent deal between the Red Sox and Nationals, being traded to the Nats with Maurice Shannon

for Harry Harper, Eddie Foster and J

Mike Menoskey. Roth's situation is a queer one. He is one of the best-hitting gardners In the big show and can hold his own as a fielder. And yet he has never been able to bang on long wit one club due mostly ' with his temperament. When Roth is going good and getting the plaudits of the multitudes he is in his element. ' But let htm get off his stride or be benched for any reason and he becomes morose and doesn't aid the morale of the club to any great extent. Roth was a newsboy In Chicago in his younger days. He's twenty-eight. He started in pro ball with the Racine, Wis., Club in 1911 and played with Kansas City, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Springfield, .Virginia and Kansas City for a third term before the White Sox picked him up in mid-season in 1914. He was traded to Cleveland In the Joe
