RICHMOND HIGH PUT OUT OF - . TOURNAMENT BY NEWCASTLE

Richmond high school was eliminated from district tourney honors by Newcastle, 23 to 11, at Newcastle Saturday morning. The game was hard fought and Richmond put up a better game than the score would, Indicate. Inability to make shots at the basket count, was the chief reason for defeat. Newcastle showed unerring basket accuracy. Newcastle started the game with two subs in the lineup but they were jerked before five minutes of play. Newcastle started the scoring on two long field goals by Gullion, but Rich- , raond came back and tied the count, ,1tonly to lose It with the entry of the ftfNewcastle regulars. However they ' V fought hard and the half ended with Newcastle leading 13 to 8. Newcastle Lead Increased The second half was a repetition of the first. Newcastle increased the lead when Richmond subs were run in the game Jn a vain endeavor to stem the tide. Gullion was the chief light for Newcastle, connecting with six long shots and making one out of five free throws. Haynes and Houck tossed two field markers each. Wilson led Richmond in scoring, tossing one field and two foul goals. Harkins, Reed and Price came through with one basket each. More than 1,600 people were on hand for this game, and about 200 Richmond rooters were In one section of the coliseum. Sentiment was evenly divided, however, as all visitors wanted to see Newcastle eliminated from n the tourney. The Richmond fans announced they would see the tourney through. Newcastle will play Fountain City in the semi-finals at 3 p. m. The winner of this game will play the winner of the Hagerstown-Spiceland game, at 8 p. m. Saturday. The fatal box score follows : Richmond. Player. G. F. M. Pts.

Hagerstown completely outclassed Cambridge City in the first game of Saturday morning's contests at the district meet at Newcastle, winning 17 ot 1. Cambridge City fought hard,

but the airtight defense of Hagerstown allowed but few shots at its goal. Root led in scoring for Hagerstown. and Daire played the best game for Cambridge City. By winning this game, Hagerstown will meet Spiceland in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. Spiceland Wins, 50-2. Spiceland loafed through its game with Williamsburg at Newcastle, Saturday morning, winning 50 to 2, and with three subs intlie lineup. -Leigh, with eight markers, led the scoring for Spiceland. A real test of Spiceland's ability, however, will come Saturday afternoon, when llagerstown battles this five for the right to enter the finals. Battle in Overtime. From the standpoint of close playing, the 16 to 14 game won by Fountain City from Knightstown Saturday morning, is the best so far. Both teams fought hard throughout the game and the final shot sounded with the score 14 all. Fountain, City substituted Eunank for the overtime session and this player made the winning field goal. Thomas led the scoring for Fountain City and Holland led Knightstown with five field markers. Fountain City meets Newcastle in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. Richmond safely passed the second test of' the basketball tourney jit New Castle by defeating T.Iiddletown 27 to 4 Friday night. Coach Fries put Dollins, who had been out of the game for more than a month with sore feet, at back guard and Price at floor guard. This bulky guard combination completely smothered all Middletown offensive work and kept Richmond forwards supplied with shots at the basket. Harkins played a stellar offensive game for the Red and White, caging seven field baskets. Wilson shifted to forward, came in for two field markers and tossed three out of four foul chances. Monger was substituted for Price in the last ten minutes and tossed two field goals. Middletown managed to connect with but one foul goal in the ffrst half, which ended 16 to 1. The score: Richmond.

OXFORD, Ohio, March 6. Miami university will this evening participate in the mid-winter athletic carnival to be held in the Cincinnati armory. Ohio State university and the Indianapolis Athletic club also will take part in the events. Miami will enter men in the 50-yard dash, the 220-yard, the quarter, half, mile and two mile runs; 60-yard hurdles, high jump, pole vault and shot put. Basket Five Loses.

Every fan in this community will have an opportunity to aid In putting Richmond back on the baseball map, and it will be up to the fans entirely to accomplish this. Plans for a campaign to raise funds for supporting a league club here next season will be announced early next week. Under many of the plans proposed for financing a league club here, every fan will be able to do his bit, and it rests entirely on fans' willingness whether the park on East Main street, conceded to be one of the best baseball parks in Indiana, will be kept up and supplied with real baseball or dismantled and turned into a pasture again. Men interested in the old baseball Iengue are determined that Richmond will have real baseball here next season, or none at all. If fans of the city refuse to support a league club here, according to officials of the old Exhibition company, the park will not bo kept up. No "Bush League Stuff" "Interest in baseball here is strong," a director said Saturday, "but it is not strong for bush league stuff, and the directors are not willing to use the park for bush league stuff that fans are not interested in. If we can't have real baseball here, the park will be torn down." Interest in the plan for financing league baseball is growing constantly, snd backers of the proposed league have little doubt but that a finance campaign can be carried out successfully if every fan in the city is ready to do his share. In many of the factories where inter-factory league baseball has been

played here, both players and fans have shown eagerness for the return

Earlham Track Prospects Bright; Many Candidates Are Expected

With the Quaker basketball team off the sport pages and into history, the call for track and field candidates ; Monday is expected to bring response : from 50 ambitious "thinly-clads". The 1919-20 Earlham athletic season ' promises to be one of the greatest, for a second place I. C. A. L. football : team and a second place I. C. A. L. pfjasketball team were turned out, and nndicationB point to a high place Earlham track team.' The list of thinly clads inhabiting Bundy Hall is composed of several winners in last season I. C. A. L. and state meets, and also several promising Freshmen. However, Earlham is not the only state school that has promising track prospects. Ivey Touted as Good Whenever Charles Ivey enters a high jump event, Quaker rooters are almost positive he will place. Ivey won the I. C. A. L. high jump hist season and is the holder of three state records. Coach Mowe is planning to have Ivey work out on the broad jump. Johnson and Carey are depended upon to ' place in tho shot put and discus throw. Both placed in last year's state meet. Lawler will be entered in the dash, hurdles and broad . jump events. Forquer is counted upon for the dashes. Three Freshmen, Carter, Davis and . Nicholson, bring good track records to Earlham. Carter holds the high school quarter mile record for the state of New York, but will be groom- ; by Coach Mowe for both the quarter mile and dash events. Other promising men are Carey in the pole vault; Graffls, Kamp, Whitely and Raiford as middle distance runners; and Tomlinson, Dalton, Mills and Ray Johnson I as distance runners. Cincinnati Meet Uncertain Coach Mowe is trying to fill the xiate made vacant by the University of Cincinnati, which cancelled the dual meet to be held here on April 24. The greater part of the Cincinnati team

is composed of engineering students and a special examination on this date prevents them coming to Richmond, although Coach Boyd Chambers offered a later date and asked Earlham to come to Cincinnati. Coach Mowe announces if another meet can be obtained for April 24, Earlham will schedule the U. of C. later, but if not, then Earlham will go to Cincinnati. Tentative arrangements are that Earlham will enter -a, complete team in the conference meet at Chicago on

June

Earlham track men have

hung up records comparable to the average conference results and Mowe may give them a chance at big time stuff.

"GOLDIE" RAPP GOES SOUTH WITH REDS "Goldie" Rapp, well known to local baseball fans because of his brilliant playing with the Richmond Central League club in 1017. has been signed by the Cincinnati Reds and will be given a thorough tryout at Miami. Due to the fact that Heinie Groh demands more money and Garry Herrman will not budge another penny, Rapp has a golden chance to fill in at the third base job. "Goldie" played with New Orleans in the Southern League last season and hung up a lespectable fielding and batting average. Sam Crane, of Indianapolis, will be a formidable rival of Rapp for tho third base job. n

NEW PARIS STARTS OHIO TOURNAMENT WITH WIN The New Paris high school basketball quintet won its first game in the Southern Ohio State meet at Delaware, Ohio, Friday, defeating Thorne-

ville, 27 to 5. As usual, Kessler and Shaffer starred for New Paris, Stivers figh, of Dayton, is being doped to win the tourney, although Hamilton, Camden, Columbus, Steele and Cambridge are picked as having strong teams.

HENDRYX, GREATEST BATTER IN MINORS, MAY GO BACK UP

Tim Hehdryx, who has valid claim to the distinction of being the greatest minor league batting leader now outride the majors, is wondering what uniform he will wear next season. He hopes it will be the uniform of a National league club. He is now at New Orleans while some major league clubs are -'dickering. wilh the Louisville owners for the player. Tim hasn't ninth luck sticking in the majors. Since he was sold by Nw Orleans to the Now York Yanks back in the fall of 1915, he has made two trips o the majors and two back to tho minors, and is now looking forward to the third trip up. He has served with two clubs, the Yanks and Browns, but. has yet. to try his luck in the national league. As a. minor leaguer Tim certainly is one little James Dandy. He has a penchant for leading minor leagues in hitting, and probably is the only ball player who has the distinction of having led both the Southern Association and American association, two of tho fastest minor leagues, with the willow. Hendryx's average in the American association last season, was the best he ever made. A .368 average in a league like the American association is enough to impress any big league manage):. It shows him to be a better hitter than when he topped the 1915 Southern league batters with .325.

Hal Chase recently left the east for California. He has decided, it is said, to retire from baseball and will not play first base for the Giants. Chase received a new contract from the New York National league club recently, but he has turned it down, declaring that he intended going into business on the coast. George Kelly will be the Giants' regular first baseman instead of Chase. Kelly is a nephew of Big Bill Lange, once the best player in the National league. He played good ball as a member of the Rochester team before joining the Giants in September, and McGraw believes that he will come through. Chase is thirty-seven years old and probably would have slipped further down the ladder of fame had he remained with McGraw. He began to show signs of going back last summer and evidently decided to get out of the game before a complete failure. Once Chase was the greatest of first basemen. Foolish behavior was responsible for troubles in which he was frequently entangled. "I'll never forget the first time, I ever saw Babe Ruth," says Christy Mathewson. "We were coming up from the south some years ago and struck Baltimore, where we were to play an exhibition game with the Orioles. I met Jack Dunn, and almost immediately he began to talk to me about a kid named Ruth who was in his squad. He told me that same day Ruth would be a great player and
