i RICHMOND'S BASEBALL FATE HANGS ON MEETING IN CHICAGO, FEB. 9
Richmond's place in league baseball, ' In case sportsmen of the city decide to continue the game here next season, probably will be decided at a meeting of minor league promoters to be held In Chicago on Feb. 9, according to a telegram received yesterday by local league backers. This meeting has been called by Louis Heilbroner, former head of the old Central league. Under the plan proposed, the Chicago meeting, which will be held at the same time as the meeting of the National baseball commission, an agreement on territorial division between the Three I league and the proposed Central league will be settled, leaving both leagues with six or eight teams. In the event Richmond decided to enter either league, the makeup of the leagues will depend largely on which circuit local backers wish to enter. Under its present franchise, two former Central league teams, Evansville and Terre Haute, are members of the Three I, but Heilbroner's proposition would return these two teams to the Central league, making It include the same territory held in 1917, when Richmond was a member. Hannibal, Mo., and Moline are suggested as possible cities to fill the Three I roster, giving the Central an eight club circuit and the Three I six teams. Ohio League Considered The proposed Ohio league would probably have to be considered in this arrangement, as Dayton and Springfield are both lined up on the Ohio proposition, and have made offers to Richmond and Fort Wayne slackers to enter that circuit, making Van Indiana and Ohio league. A meeting of the directors of the Richmond Exhibition company has been called for next Tuesday night, when a definite program for financing a local club will be mapped out. Interest among fans will decide entirely Richmond's fate as a baseball
EARLHAM RUNS AWAY FROM BUTLER QUINT
Displaying a brand of basketball usually reserved for out-of-town games the Earlham team won a one-sided victory from the Butler quintet in the coliseum Friday night, 37 to 22, and thereby demonstrated to local fans why state critics are enthusiastic over Coach Mowe's basket machine. The team that represented Earlham last night was in complete variance with the team tha disastrously played Rose Poly two weeks ago. A better exhibition of basket shooting is seldom witnessed. The passing and team work were of the highest order, although flashes of individual playing demonstrated just what each player could, accomplish individually. The score does not really tell the difference in the strength of the teams. Had Coach Mowe left the first team in play, the Quakers would have run up a much greater score. Last night's victory marked the first I. C. A. L. victory scored by Earlham this season. A victory over Rose Poly sit Terre Haute next Friday night vmtrht irivc Earlham a clear title to
econd place in the I. C. A. L., and a "uVin from the Wabash aggregation on Feb. 20 providing some other team does not upset the dope will give Earlham a claim for state and I. C. A. L. honors. Hall was the star performer of the evening, caging seven field goals and playing a good game on the defensive. Herb Carey also played a good game. Short, the smallest player on the Butler quintet, proved the main point getter, annexing 14. His shots were all from angles. Davies, substituted for Rosenthiel, made two field goals during his 10 minutes of play. The game was one of the cleanest over played on the coliseum floor. Hut three personal fouls were called. The first half saw Earlham pile up a commanding lend, 23 to 7. The score: Butler. p,-,vpr Gls. Fls. Md. Pts.

town, as the directors of the company have announced that the city will be
given a chance to support real base
ball, or none at all. J "The attendance at last summer's Sunday games in.no way indicated the general interest in baseball here, and
if a league is brought I am confident
that there will be sufficient Interest to support the game," one of the ddlrectors said Saturday. "The directors have decided, however, to do away with baseball such as was shown here last summer, and unless a real team is supported and guaranteed, baseball will be removed from Exhibition park."
WILSON STARS AS H. S. IS DEFEATED
Richmond high school's first out-of-town came resulted in a 24 to 10 vic
tory for Newcastle on the Newcastle Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, Friday night. This makes the third defeat of the
season for Richmond. With the exception of Wilson, the entire team was considerably off form, both In hitting the basket and general team play. The score would probably have been different had Richmond displayed the class shown in the victory over Muncie last week. With the exception of one field goal, which Wilson succeeded in slipping through the netting in the first half, all Richmond's score came from free throws. Wilson caged all of them, counting eight out of 13 chances. Newcastle had the five man defense working to perfaction and Richmond did not get close to the goal except on a few occasions. Wilson counted one of these chances but the rest were flivvered. Conn and Haynes led the scoring for Newcastle, each getting three goals. Gullyon usually stars for Newcastle but Dollins prevented him from getting more than one counter. He could have led his team in scoring if any ability in free throws was shown, as only two out of 13 were caged. The game was rough and frequent fouling resulted. Dollins for Richmond and Conn for Newcastle left the game with four personals. Judging from the performance of Wilson, the Richmond floor guard promises to develop into one of the best ever turned- out by R. H. S. His main obstacle is his lack of weight, but this will be overcome during the next two years, as he is but a soph. The lineup and summary follow: Richmond.

Elmer Smith. The Cleveland Indians have no Babe Ruth, but the fact that "the Yanks grabbed off the Babe isn't causing any weeping among the Speakerites. For one Elmer Smith, while not possessing the enviable record of Ruth, is one of the best little game wreckers in the big show. Smithie collected nine home runs last season and when it is pointed out that only three men outside of Ruth
collected more, it can be seen. Elmer
ranked well up in that department. And I think, if the records were avail
able, you'd find out that every one of
those homers put a ball game on ice.
Elmer Smith was born in Sandusky,
O. When he was about two years old his folks -moved to Milan, O., giving
Thomas Edison his greatest rival for
fame in that village. Elmer starred on
school baseball teams and then, when
he began work in a potato digger con
cern he played amateur ball about
Milan. In 1912 Kalamazoo decided to give him a trial in the outfield, but
Smith failed to impress Manager
Charley Wagner.
The next spring Darby O'Brien signed Smith to play wit hDuluth and
Smith went so good with the Duluth
team that Cleveland bought him August 14. He was farmed out to the
Toledo club the rest of that season and sent to the Waterbury club the next
spring. He batted .324 for Lee Fohl,
then managing the team for Charlie
Somers, and Cleveland hauled him back to prevent the Feds from flirting
with him. He was sent to Toledo again
until a few days before the season closed. Smith was traded to Wash
ington in 1916 for the southpaw pitcher Joe Boehling who proceeded
to warm the bench not even earning the oil he put on his glove. Cleveland
later purchased Smith back again tor
$4,000. When the war arrived Smith enlisted and saw service in France.

" The transmission needs little atten
tion, but there are some features of it which require a little explanation.
The way in which the transmission
is most neglected is in carelessness in
looking to its lubrication. . The filling with grease or oil is generally a dirty and disagreeable job, and so is left until the last possible moment.
As the load comes on but three or four teeth at a time, and thus comes
on but a small amount of surface, the
wear, when there is lack of lubrica-
the part into the bearing or between the gear teeth. The grease or oil will have a tendency to come out of the transmission along the main shaft in many cars when they have been driven a few thousand miles. Almost all cars have a packing nut or gland furnished to prevent this. At A in Figure 1 I have shown such a nut. If a little turn be given this nut it will press the felt B out and tighten it on the shaft, and so prevent the grease working out along

on which the shifter yoke is fastened
and having a spring-actuated plunger fall into the notch. The tension of the spring of the plunger can usually be regulated. Figure 2 shows this locking device. Here the notches in this shifter shaft A are lettered B, while the plunger is lettered C. Should , the gears have a tendency to come out of mesh, tightening the screw E (on the shaft of the gear which comes out of mesh) may remedy the trouble, while if the start
of the shift requires considerable , strength, loosening this screw E will;
make the shift easier. Ladies who drive their cars should especially note this, as it may be that the shitting can be made much easier for them in this way. When bearings are badly worn, or the gears are worn at an angle, there will be a tendency for the gears to come out of mesh, and no adjustment of the locking plunger will remedy the trouble, replacement being the only remedy. ' On practically all modern cars the hand operated shifting lever is held and sort of hinged by what is known a a "ball and socket." The ball, which is on the lever, con be easily seen. Now this ball is subjuct to the moisture of the atmosphere and so in time may become slightly rusty. When this nappens the start of the shift will become hard. Tt is ti good plan, therefore, to run this ball with a kerosene moistened cloth once In a while, and to put a drop of oil on it. If foo much oil is used the clothes of the people
In the front seat may become soiled or ruined. When the shift is easy and then gradually becomes difficult, do" not blame the locking device, but the'ball and socket. If it is hard on a new car, look to the locking device. , ' The directions in which the lever mupt be moved to shift to the various speeds vary greatly, but as a discussion of the various shift will not help either in the care or driving of the car, we will not go into this now.

Although Richmond lost to Newcastle, the result of . the Muncie-Splce-land game is encouraging to Richmond fans. On two occasions Newcastle has beaten Spiceland by one point, and
Spiceland trimmed Richmond in the first game of the Richmond" season. Last Friday ' night Richmond displayed the best class shown all. season find trimmed Muncie, 18 to 17. Last night Muncie defeated Spiceland 26 to 15 at Muncie Local fans are confident Richmond high school would have put up a better scrap had four of the regulars been in form. The real surprise of all the basketball sessions in Indiana last night was the 19 to 9 victory scored by Purdue over Indiana. The latter team had doubled the score on 'Ohio State, at Columbus, while Purdue was defeated
24y one point. Indiana also frounced
Micnigan picaea as a contender ior Big Ten honors while Purdue lost to Illinois. Nearly all the rest of the games came out according to the way the dopsters had figured. Jefferson, of Lafayette, defeated Lebanon, 28 to 19. Thi3 as was predicted but not by so large a majority. The icy condition of the roads prevented the Cambridge City-Whitewater scrap at Whitewater. Friday night. This disappointed Whitewater fans who had been anticipating this game for a month. The game will probably be played off later.
FOUNTAIN CITY, 23; RIDGEVILLE, 13 The Fountain City high school basketball team evened the count wfth Ridgevtlle Friday night by defeating them 23 to 13. Ridgcville won from Fountain City early in the season, by one point, and last night's game was a revenge to the Wayne county team. Thomas starred for- the winners.

Bowling Notes
High cost and wind-jamming usually KO together, but last night's bowling Fcrap between the Wind-Jammers and High Costers of the Natco bowling league resulted in the High Cost putting the Wind-Jammers under the weather for two games.

Backed His "Fliv" 1-2 Mile, Then Had to Lift It Out of
the Ruts on National Road
AUTOISTS MUST HAVE A RECEIPT
"This one is about two of those popular little cars," says the National Road traveller. It all happened west of Lewisville. about a mile, and the episode was another result of the sleet. L. R. Martin drives a Ford. So does Carney Gardner. And they drive 'em in all kinds of weather, whether it rains or whether it snows. The National west of Lewisyille is deeply rutted. One was driving east and one west. One of the two or both had to leave the rut to pass, of course, even with Fords. They do anything else but fly. Each of the drivers backed and "lowed" and pulled and twisted and attempted to leave the rut, and each of the expajts failed. Finally Luther decided to back until he could jump to the level road a yard or so above him. But he didn't know how far he would have to go. He backed one-half mile, to a point near the home of E. A. Rogers, and even then he and Carney had to lift the car from the rut to effect a passing. It's everything Sherman said, it was on that National. .
Every automobile in Wayne county should be equipped with a 1920 auto license plate. If you haven't a license you must have a receipt showing your good intentions to comply with the law.' While the police of Richmond or any other city, have no power to grant permission to anyone to violate the law, the head of the local police department has given assurance that if by possession of a receipt you have shown good faith in your attempt to get a license, you will not be molested by the police. Must Have License. Superintendent Gorman stated today that already more than 100,000 license lates have been issued by the state department but that the office was now swamped with demands for licenses and the work Is necessarily slowed up. However, everyone can havf his receipt showing that he has paid for his license and this will save him from arrest until the license plates arrive. Another matter to which the police
or the city call the attention of the public is the necessity of all chauffeurs to secure licenses. The local police declare that maiy persons must
take out a chauffeur's license, hereto
fore did not believe it was required of them.
"Every driver of an automobile for
hire must have a license," say the police. This includes the men driving
for grocers, butchers, bakers and mer
chants, as well as those who carry
passengers.
tion, will be, very quick, and will result in the thinning and so weakening of the teeth that in time they will break oft or strip. So it is important that the lubrication of the transmission " be carefully looked after, and the driver should take the cover off and see it there la the proper level ot grease in it about every"l,500 miles. The question is often asked as to which is the better lubricant tor the transmission a heavy oil or a grease? The writer favors a grease or nonfluid oil, provided that this grease has two properties; namely, it must flow very freely even in cold weather, and it must stick to the finger or a piece
of metal when inserted in it, and stick
in quite a mass. If the grease dqes not flow freely, it will be spattered about and stick to the sides and top of the bousing, with
the result that the gears soon run dry.
It Is because of this tendency that
many advocate the heavy oil instead of the grease. There are some of the heavy oils.
Unless the grease has the property
of sticking both to metal when placed in it, and to itself, it will not be car
ried up so as to lubricate the teeth of
the gears where they come in contact. Certain cars use the same oil as is
used in the engine to lubricate the;
transmission gears, ine on Demg pumped over the gears and then running back into the crank case of the engine. Where this is the case," no grease or oil must be put into the transmission. As to the prcper level of the grease or cil.; where the transmission is designed' with the gears on the secondary
; haft placed below those on the main shaft, ihe level should , be such that the small low speed gear just dips into the grease or oil. while if the gears are placed side by side, or on
the same level the largest of the in--termedlate gears should just dip into the grease. By a study of the drawings of the transmission it will be
readily seen why this should be so.
The bearings on the transmission
shafts are always either of the ball
or roller type. They require little j care, their lubrication being auto-i
matically taken care of by the movement of the gears in the grease or
oil.
If. however, the smallest particle of
metal gets in the bearing, it will cause the balls or rollers to crush and chip,
and also cause a tearing of the bum
face of the race-ways. For this reason when the transmission cover is re
moved it. and the housing about it.
should first be carefully cleaned, and,
should the smallest of cotter-pins or'
other parts fall into the transmission; thev must be fished out. If not, the i
combination of vibration and move
ment of the oil will eventually carry
this shaft. In time the felt will have to be replaced. The above is a simple job which can easily be performed by the novice.
Perhaps some ot my readers are
wondering how the gears are kept or
locked in mesh or in neutral. This
is simply done by notching the shaft
