EARLHAM MEN TURN OUT ENMASSE FOR BASEBALL AND TRACK Practically one-half the male enrollment at Earlham college turned out. In answer to the first call for track and baseball candidates at the Quaker gym Tuesday afternoon. Of this number, 55 were for track and 2G tor baseball. The track squad will bo kept intact all season, as the physical training derived from the workout will be greatly beneficial. The baseball squad will be cut later to about 18 men. I The first day's workout consisted lmainly of getting the candidates organized and issuing track suits. Fifteen new suits have been ordered but will only be distributed to those making the track team, and not until the day before the first meet of the season, April 24. New baseball equipment will be given out. Cincy May Be Opponent. Earlbam will be entered In a dual track meet on April 24, but the opposing college is in doubt. Cincinnati was riginally scheduled for the date, but Coach Boyd Chambers announced Cincinnati would be unable to come to Richmond. Chambers suggested a later date. If possible, Mowe will schedule another school for the date and meet Cincinnati later in the season. If. however, he is unable to obtain a flrstclass meet for April 24. Coach Mowe will take the Quaker team to Cincinnati. Baseball prospects at Earlham are the brightest in several years. Those signing up Tuesday night bring formidable reputations to Earlham and the letter men's ability is known. Goar and L. Nicholson are listed as pitchers but Coach Mowe believes the latter man will do better on the track than on the diamond. He will receive trials in both sponts, however. Plenty of Battery Men. Templetown, Elder and Huff, last year's hurling staff, signed. Raiford and Russel signed as catchers. Eades, the lanky youth from Anderson, signed as a first baseman and brings a reputable reputation. The Muncie State Normal school has been scheduled for three games. Three games with Butler are sched

uled and two with St. Marys, of Day-

High School

A. J. Beriault.of Indianapolis, who hns for several years coached senior plays of the high school, has again been obtained to coach the play to bo chosen soon by the 1920 clacs. Mr. Beriault will come to the high school Tuesday afternoon to discuss plans for the play, and to assist the play committee in selection of an appropriate drama. Important upper classmen chapel3 lined up for the spring have been announced by the chapel committee to include a senior recognition chapel some time this month; tho extemporaneous speech chapel April 16; the state discussion league contest; the Nusbaum written oration cup contest; the "It" chapel when "R's" will be presented to members of tho senior class winning, them, and tho annual senior chapel commencement date. BINGHAMPTON STREET CAR MEN STRIKE FOR HIGH FARE

(By Associated Press) BINGHAMTOX, X. Y., March 10. Because the Blnghamton common council failed to adopt an ordinance last night permitting an increase in

street car fares, to six cents the em- ; ployes of the Binghamton railway I company struck Tuesday and the

system was tied up.

ATTACK ALLIED COMMISSION (By Associated Press) PARIS, March 10. Members of the allied military commission at Breslau were attacked yesterday by a mob but were saved from injury by Intervention by the police, he allied representatives were hooted and some stones were thrown by the crowd be-

fore it could be dispersed.

BALL PLAYERS GO SOUTH; MANY QUIT Chick Gandil's decision to. accept the management of an independent team in Idaho leaves the "White Sox in a hole for a first baseman. It is probable that Ted Jourdan will get his opportunity to fill the position. The announcement that Umpire Bill Byron had signed to officiate in the Pacifio Coast league caused much surprise as it had been understood that Byron had retired from the game to devote all his time to the plumbing business. Jack Coffey, former Fordham star, will again manage and play second base for the Des Moines club of the Western league. Coffey went to Des Moines last season after finishing the 1918 campaign with the Boston Red Sox. Columbia (S. C.) fans will have a fine opportunity to look over the major leaguers this spring. Within a space of 10 days in late March and early April that city will be visited by the Reds, Senators, Yankees, Robins, Mackmen and Phillies. . - Zinn Beck, who was with the Yankees for a time during he 1918 campaign, has obtained his release from Vernon of the Pacific Coast league and will manage the Columbia, S. C. team of the South Atlantic league. . Barney Dreyfuss comes to the front with the announcement that no unsigned player will be allowed in the camp of the Pirates at Hot Springs. Some of the other owners decided this spring to do away with this rule. George Decker, coach of the Penn boxing team, holds a unique record in 1he ring sport. Since 1909, when he first took charge of boxing at the

university. Decker has exchanged punches with 4,000 Penn students, three rounds each for a total of 12,000 rounds. This is said to be a record unequaled in boxing circles. Mordecai Brown, who will manage the Terre Haute club this season, is now coaching the Indiana University candidates. Brown will give up this work when the players report at Terre Haute, which is his home city. The Indian battery is not to be a reality after all. Chief Meyers has retired from baseball, so when Chief Bender pitches at New Haven this season he will have to nair tin with a

! rew catcher. i Hank Severeid, whose work behind j the bat for the Browns last season was j affected by poor health, is again in

fine trim. That means that other catchers will do little work with the Browns this season. Jesse Tannehill, once one of the greatest southpaws in the game, is coming back to the majors as a scout for the Phillies. He will act as coach during the training season. Tannehill pitched for the Pirates, Yankees and Red Sox.

Four Teams Picked as Favorite in State Tourney; Spiceland Ignored in Dope State dopesters have it all figured who is going to win tho state championship basketball tourney at Bloomington, which gets under way at Bloomington jarly Thursday morning. Franklin is leading the van, closely followed by Columbus and Anderson. Martinsville is also mentioned. The array of dope s!iows that Anderson was defeated twice during the season by Franklin, and that the only game lost by Franklin was tr. Martinsville early in the season. Franklin came back and defeated Martinsville in an overtime game, Anderson did not meet Martinsville during the regular season, but providing both teams win their first two games', th-ay will hook up at 10 a. m. Saturday. Columbus comes in as having reflated Martinsville and Bedford; in the former game, by a bigger score than Franklin turned the trick. State dopesters do not consider Milroy or Spiceland as serious contenders. However, Newcastle made Anderson fight hard to win by a close score, and Spiceland caused Franklin to do the same. Judging from these fames, Spiceland is not far behind in comparative strength. Milroy received a 72 to 9 walloping from Anderson earlier in the season and this score causes dopesters to overlook the winner of the Rushville section.

Bowling

Lichtenfels Haberdashers threw a surprise to the local bowling fans Tuesday night, by walloping the second place Coke outfit two out of three games at Twiggs Alleys. The Number Two Kaysee quintet dropped two out of three games to the league leading Feltman Tramps. 'High score and average for the evening were annexed by Huffman, of the Tramps. He rolled 215 in the third game and averaged 188. Broderick came in for second score honors with 210. King took second average honors with 188. The score: COCO-COLAS Handicap, 106.

in 1903 after gaining a rep as a college player with Santa Clara. In 1904 th 'Los Angele Pacific Coast team grabbed him and the following year the Yankees obtained him for. $2,700. :He played with them until 1913. with !the exception of a year with Stockton

in the California state jeague m ivua. The reason I fail to recall. The club, however, wasn't under the national agreement and Chase's departure to that outfit was a personal one. In 1913 he was traded to the White Sox and when the Feds sprung up Jumped "to the outlaws the next year, playing two seasons with the Buffalo club. .'When the Fed league broke up he was sold to Cinci. Last year the Reds were glad to dispose of him to the Giants."' Richmond Men Get Sub Job on District Team Officials at the Newcastle basketball tournament last Saturday picked an all-district five. Hatfield of Fountain City and Myers of Spiceland, were awarded the forward positions. Gullion of Newcastle was unanimously given the center Job.

Hal Chase. According to recent word from the Giant camp, Hal Chase has laid down his baseball togs and tools for good. The news was not unexpected, partly because of tho fact that last year Chase showed that he was slipping fast. Chase, in his palmy days, rightfully earned the ttlie of ' King of First Basemen." He covered the bag and the field around it as no man before or during his time could do. He was a good batter and brainy player in all branches of the game, too. His name would occupy a greater space in the hall of fame than it does, but for the fact that flighty temperament and a foolish nature caused him to do indiscreet things that several times threatened his career despite his greatness as a player. One of the last unfortunate mixups in which he became involved cost him his berth with the Cinci Reds and a chance to share in their first world's series in fifty years. Chase was born Feb. 13, 1SS3 in Los Catos, Cal. He broke into pro-ball with the Southwest "Washington league
