ROSE BEATS QUAKER SQUAD IN OVERTIME GAME AT COLISEUM Although the dope bucket fell from I Its pedestal with a loud crash and Coach Mowe was handed a surprise in the shape of a 20 to 18 victory of 'Rose Poly over Earlham In the Coliseum, Friday night, Earlham still has a chance at the state and I. C. A. L. i champion. The 6crap with Wabash 'next Friday offers this chance. Earlham made first score when Lawyer tossed two foul shots, but lost the fclead when Rose Poly trapped four Tfield goals. Lawler added another point to the Quaker total by caging a iXoul goal and soon after made the first i field marker of the evening for the 'Quakers. The half ended with the recore 8 to 6, Rose Poly on the long lend. ""N The second half saw Earlham start- " ing as though business was intended, dewier counting markers that put the Quakers in the lead. The Joy of juaker rooters was short lived, however, as Rose Poly was credited with eight additional points through the accurate long shots of Reinking, Harris and Standau. Earlham counted another marker on a foul shot by Lawler. With only five minutes of play remaining and Earlham six points to the bad. Coach Mowe substituted Goar and Huff for Lawler and Carey. Goar celebrated his entry by caging a goal from a difficult angle. Huff added two more points and Johnson, the husky Quaker backguard, dribbled the length of the floor to cage the tying goal. Goal Did Not Count. The netting on the east goal was caught and the ball would not stay in the basket. Coach Mowe protested to the referee, claiming that Johnson's goal should be counted but his claim was net allowed. Pitts threw the goal that caused the game to go into overtime. Soon after the start of overtime, Goar caged what was hoped would be the winning basket, but in spite of the desperate fight waged,. Reinking tied the score on a long shot. Reinhardt, a tub., threw the winning goal for Rose Poly. The score: Rose Poly.

DEMPSEY ACCEPTS $400,000 BID TO FIGHT CARPENTIER Latest photo of Georges Carpentier, taken after his battle with Beckett. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, has announced he has accepted an offer of $400,000 for a battle between Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. The offev calls for a forty-five round contest, the fight to be staged at Tia Juana, Lower California (Mexico). James W. Coffroth, noted fight promoter, made the offer. Kearns acceptance doesn t assure the battle, though, as Carpentier's signature must be obtained and a million and one details agreed to before the final documents are signsxL Richmond High Fights Hard Against Huntington; Muncie Next on Card Friday night's basketball scrap in the coliseum, at which the Richmond high school quintet lost 2 6to .14 to Huntington, caused a return of confidence to R. H. S. rooters. The greater majority expected Richmond to get trimmed much worse as Huntington is rated as one of the best teams in tl state. The first 10 minutes of play saw neither team displaying any accuracy, although the visitors connected with two free throws, but in the final part 'of the half, Moyer, Huntington forward, caged three long shots. Reed dropped one in for Richmond just before the half ended. Huntington started the final half with a rush, Skinner throwing three straight field shots in the first five minutes of play. Dollins caged one for Richmond but was immediately taken out of the game on account of personals. Monger went to forward and Loehr to center. This combination worked better than the first and with the caging of two shots by Reed and one by Price, t?.ns had vision of a R. H. S. victory. It was short lived, however. In the last few minutes of play, Coach Fries sent Wilson to floor guard in place of Harding and he nuie a "hit" by dribbling through the defense of Huntington and passing to Reed, who was beneath the goal. Reed caged the shot, making the score 22 to 12. Harkins relieved Monger and Loehr added the final R. H. S. points by connecting with the basket from past the center of the floor. Smith and Moyer annexed the final points for the winners. Muncie is next on the R. H. S. program and practice will be started Monday afternoon. It is not known who will play the curtain raiser for next week's game, although Fries may schedule a ga.r.e for the R. II. S. Lineup and summary: Huntington. Player Gls. Fls. Msd.Pts.

AMERICANS GARRY BASEBALL WITH 'EM By JACK KEENE Wherever the American goes hi3 national game goes with him. Soldiers from the United States ahd Canada carried baseball to Europe and were unsuccessful in arousing more than casual interest among the people of England and France in the pastime. Englishmen and Frenchmen watched the movements of the players with about the same kind of interest the American shown in Westminster Abbey or the famous Louvre, but they were about as anxious to play the game themselves as Babe Ruth might be to learn Chinese. Then the Red Cross workers hit upon v baseball as a way to ' interest native convalescents in the hospitals of Serbia and Rumania, but the success of the movement was not marked. The patients were anxious enough to play anything the Americans proposed, hut they wanted wider bats and balls that did not travel so swiftly. The game was simply , too strenuous for them. One effort, however, to introduce baseball outside of America seems to be meeting with success. Near east relief workers who are caring for the Armenian orphans in Turkey have introduced baseball into the orphanages and are meeting with success. The children are showing a great interest in the game, and it is possible that Armenia may be the first country outside of the continent of North America to have professional and amateur baseball teams. i Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion, has signed a set of articles for a bout with Georges Carpentier and has sent the Fame over to France. O'Dowd challenged the Frenchman recently in a cablegram, which was read from the ring just before the BeckettCarpentier fight. So far he has received no reply and O'Dowd wants to know why he has been ignored. Mike fought Dick Smith in London and stopped him in a few rounds, i Smith is the battler with whom Car-j pentiej tried himself out after his long j auseuce irom me ring, ana as trie Frenchman took longer to stop the Englishman than O'Dowd did the latter thinks it proved that he would be a capital opponent for Georges. Jimmy Clabby, who has been over in Australia for the last four years, is coming back to this country. Although Clabbv is one of the oldpst boxers in point of ring service he still ( is a capaDie oi periormer, juaging Dy the way he has been able to handle the Australian heavyweights. Clabby always has to concede many pounds of weight in order to get a match, but it is seldom that he does not emerge on the winning end. Rushville Defeats Conner sville, 11 to 10 Caging a foul shot about 10 seconds before the final whistle, the Rushville high school basketballers won a hard fought game from Connersville, at Connersville, 11 1o 10, Friday night. The home team had the better of the argument in pass work and team play. but could not hit the basket with', any accuracy. Foul goals won the game for Rushville, which counted six J out or seven cnances. Connersville made but one out of 13 chances. Although never more than two points ahead, Rushville was never on the short end of the score. The first half ended with a 5 to 4 count. Gates and Hopkins performed to best advantage for the losing team. GAME IS POSTPONED. On account of bad roads, Fountain City was unable to fill the engagement to play the Losantvllle high school quintet, Friday night. Fountain City hoped to win, but the operation will have to be deferred until next Saturday night, when Losantvllle plays at Fountain City. AMERICAN LEGION BRANDS JACK DEMPSEY "SLACKER" DENVER, Col.r Jan. 10. Leo Leyden Post of the American Legion at a meeting adopted a resolution branding Jack Dempsey a "slacker" and declaring opposition to holding the proposed Dempsey-Carpentier fight in Colorado. Copies of the resolution will be sent to all American Legion posts in the United States with a request that similar action be taken by each. JIMMY WILDE WINS ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 10. Jimmy Wilde, English flyweight champion, easily defeated Johnny "Babe" Asher, bantamweight champion of the A. E. F., in an eight-round no-decision bout here, according to newspaper men. The suffrage movement has recently made appearance in Nicaragua.

HOQsE Granville Barker , Leader Of English Drama, Coming Granville Barker, English actor and author, will lecture in Richmond Wednesday evening, Jan. 28, under the auspices of the literary department of the Woman's club. Mr. Barker is one of the first English dramatic writers of the day. He not only is a dramatist but a manager, producer and actor of renown. As a producer he has worked with Yeats, Barrie, Shaw, Mansfield and Galsworthy. As a writer he resembles Shaw in method of constructions and expression of ideas. The longer plays of Barker, those which rank highest are distinctly English in character and perhaps for this reason have not been produced in this country. The play with which the American public is most familiar is "Prunella" written in colaboration with Lawrence Housman. This play has been seen on the legitimate stage and in the movie, Marguerite Clark appearing in the latter production, in the leading part. Junior High Sports The small Whites were winners in two out of three basketball contests played in the Garfield gym, Friday afternoon. Thompson's team defeated a quintet captained by Wlckett, by a 4 to 3 score. Wilson scored all the points for the winning team.

NEW MADISON WINS The New Madison independent basketball team won a 54 to 15 game from the Straughn Independents at New Madison Thursday night.

KINGS AND QUEENS ONCE GREETED PAIR OF MIDGETS OF U. S. Kansas City Star) "Mrs; Tom Thumb is dead." What -a world of childhood memories that headline recently awakesed in those readers, who, while not exactly old, have, to put it gently, passed the forenoon of life. . To- be sure many of those of. us whose showgoing days runback only a couple of decades have seen her, for she dearly loved "public life," as she called it, and made occasional excursions into its realms even after she was more than seventy years old. But the ones to whom the mental picture of the famous little "lady in miniature," as she preferred to be called, rather than "dwarf" or "midget," brings a real thrill are those whose childhood was in the period between 1862 and 1885. Then it was that she and her first husband. General Tom Thumb, (Charles S. Strattan in private life) were at the height of popularity under the guiding hand of that master showman, the late P. T. Barnum. Famous Around the World. There have been dwarfs, probably. ever since the human race began, and many of them have exhibited them selves to the curious for pay. Some have achieved a certain fame, but none before nor since has compared with the record of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb. Heralded in typical Barnum fashion, and most of the time under his personal escort, they toured Europe, met virtually everybody from royalty down, and went around the world in a blaze of glory and delighted the children end entertained ' grownups in every corner of their j native United States. Their name became a household word, and their photographs are to be found in half the old time scrap books of the country. On one tour alone, Mrs. Tom Thumb and her husband and her sister Minnie Warren and her husband, Commodore George Washington Morrison Nutt, traveled 55,487 miles, and gave 1,471 entertainments 4n 587 cities and towns. Mrs. Tom Thumb was born Lavina Mercy Bump, at Warrentown, Mass., October 31, 1841. Her mother's family for whom the town was named, was directly descended from Richard Warren, who came over in the Mayflower. She was exceedingly proud of the fact that she was a Colonial Dame and a D. A. R. by inheritance, one might say. She was married to Tom Thumb in 1S63 and the two were inseperable companions until his death in 18S3. Two years after her bereavement, she became the wife of Count Preino Magri, a dwarf born in Italy, but who afterward became an American citizen soon after their marriage. With him and his brother, she toured the country several times with theatrical companies, their last trip as show people being in 1912. . Brothers Were Large Men. With the exception of herself and her sister, Minnie, Mrs. Tom Thumb's family were anything but dwarf. Two of her brothers were more than six feet tall and heavy in proportion. She was less than three feet tall and never weighed more than sixty-five pounds. But her mentality was equal to that of other persons, regardless of size. She took a keen interest in all public questions, Including suffrage and was an interesting conversationalist in four languages. As an example of the way she kept abreast of the times, she learned to ride a bicycle in 1896, when the wheeling craze was at its height. Her chief delight, however, in her her step father Mrs. Mary Kimmer is visiting Anderson relatives. Give Cuticura the Care OfYonrSldn . And watch that troublesome eruption disappear.

declining " years, was c.to entertain guests who came to jisit her as friends and not to inspect her as a "freak." Not that she ever-ob jested to being viewed as a curiosity Mt the proper time and place. - But that, she iield. was not in the privacy ot' her home. With such guests she-' could . spend hours recuntlng her travels-' and experiences and handling and commenting on the thousands of souvenirs with which her home was filled.''" These in
cluded gfts from .virtually every ruler in urope' between 1864 andV.J880 and personal : mementoes . of every . American President from Lincoln' down to Wilson." ' j Feted by Royalty. Oa their first tour of Europe the General and Mrs. Thumb were feted by rayolty in every capital all- of which, of course, was turned to good advertising account by their errepressible manager. Barnum. In the matter of presentations the order; was reversed and it was the dwarfs who received and - kings and queens and princes passed in line and -paused to shake hands just like common people. Empress Eugenia was on tha throne of France then and she was among their guests. So'was Quer Victoria, of England, and the lato King Edward, then prince of Wales. Although the wife of Count Magri for more than thirty years, the famous little woman always made-Tom Thumb the hero of her reminiscences and usually, preferred to be known ;in public as Mrs. Tom Thumb. Probably br most priwd possession vas the gold Masonic emblem which bad belonged to the general. She wore it on a chain about hr neck and from the day of his death it was never away from her a moment. . When people remarked on her devotion to his "memory she explained that their marriage was a real love match and that little people have as large a capacity , lor affection as those of normal size. She, and Count Magri were singularly happy together, also. A couple of years ago a visitor asked her the secret of her successful "management" of two husbands,. Sh' laughingly replied: "Don't argue with him. Let him have his. own way, but win him to your way when he doesn't know it." HAGERSTOWN LOSESTHIRD Hagerstown was handed their third straight defeat Friday night at Carthage, by a 22 to 8 count. Hagerstown started a determined rally in the last part of the scrap bufc-not enough time remained for any -considerable danger to the lead of Carthage. EATON HAS EASY WIN Eaton had walk-awav irt the gam played against the Campbrllstown basketball tossers at Campbellstown. Friday night, winning by, a 52 to 7 score. The home team was only able to break through the defense for one field goal, the remaining points resulting from, free throws. TWO MEN CLIP GIRL'S HAIR WHEN SHE ANSWERS KNOCK KEXDALLVILLE, Ind..
