LAST OF FEDERALS QUITS BASEBALL Rupert Mills, Justly celebrated a few years ago as the last Burvlvor of the old Federal league, has announced that he Is through with baseball for all time and his name has been' dropped from the suspended list of the Detroit club. Notice to thl9 effect was issued recently, President Navin announcing the unconditional release of the player. Mills Intends to devote his time to law. A condition that undoubtedly stands out unparalleled in tho history of the game featured Mill's connection with the Federal league. lie developed as one of the college stars of the middle west during the days when tho Feds were making their bid, and he was signed to play in the Independent league in 191C Before the time for the opening of the season peace was agreed upon and the Federal league, as an organization, retired from the scene. A number of players were turned over to Harry F. Sinclair, owner of the Newark Feds, for sale wherever he might find a market, and Rupert Mills was one of these. Mills declined to be a party to any such transaction and Insisted that the Federal league must attend to the salary which had been promised hlrn. Pat Powers, who handled most of the Sinclair baseball afTairs. tried to reach a compromise, but failed. Mills insisted on being paid according to contract, refusing to accept the sum offered by Powers to call everything off. Then ensued the odd feature that made Mills the last of the Feds. Powers and Sinclair decided that Mills would be paid in full, as per contract, but insisted that be fulfill his part of the contract. They thereupon sent him orders to report each day at tins Federal league park In Harrison. The park had been deserted, but was kept open for Mill's benefit, and day after day he made the trip to the park and went through practice stunts all alone Mills followed orders strictly, drew hie checks on the 1st and 15th of each month as If pla3'ing regularly, and after a few weeks the player and Sinclair reached some agreement, never officially announced. Mills discontinued his daily trips to Harrison and the Federal league had no players left. Later the Detroit club signed Mills and sent him back to Denver for development. In 1917 he entered the service and after being discharged he returned to law work, where he plans to spend the rest of his days. Efforts are being made to bring Willie Meehan on from the Pacific coast for a bout with Gene Tunney at Jersey City. Mehan has been offered $2,500 for the bout and is ready to accept as soon as he receives transportation. Matching Tunney with the conqueror of Jack Dempsey seems to be a rather hasty proceeding, but Meehan undoubtedly has gone back of late and it is highly probable that the youngster will be able to take bis measure. Chuck Wiggins, a light heavyweight, who recently returned from Australia, where he made a great Impression. I another who Is coming on from Caliofniia to seek a match with Tunney. Bring Out the Towels! H. S. Seconds to Mix With Teaching Force Everything is in readiness for the last basketball scrap this season, tho bat t In between the K. II.

The teachers have been secretly holding workouts in the high school pyrii mill nro prepared to give tho kids a trimming. However, the game will present the seconds with one glorious opportunity of getting even with the-teachers. In preparation for rough stufT, the teacher squad will compore everv male teacher in high school, all or whom will be in uniform and in readiness to enter tho fray. The five that probably will start the game for the teachers will compose Echols and Cievengcr at forward; S. S. Vernon at center, and McComb and Rock at guard. Principal Bate will be in uniform. and if the seconds pile up too large p. score, oe may lorce the scorekeepers to even up things. J. B. Thompson will back Bate. Spiceland Has Easy Time With Central; Anderson May Be the Quakers' Downfall By virtue of the 31-14 defeat handed tr Central high, of Evansville, Spiceland stepped forth as a possible contender for state championship honors at the state meet at Blocmington, Thursday evening. Spiceland probably could have run the score larger, as Evansville was completely outclassed. As in district tourney games, Spiceland showed won- - f.erful accuracy at hiting the netting, Reese looping two goals that brought the crowd to Its feet. Reese made six field markers and led Spiceland. Mocer, with three goals, led Central." The real contest for Spiceland comes at 4 p. m. Friday, whon AnderHon is played. Critics concede that Spiceland has an oven chance. Thursday Afternoon Scores. Greencastle. 20; Martinsville, 16. 'South Bend, 27; Angola, 12. Spiceland, 31; Central of Evansville, 14.

Who Tipped Up That Board? Centerville Wins Shamrock Game Victims "of an unexpected rally in the last 10 miriutea of play," the Richmond Shamrock independent basketball team closed its season with the short end of a 37-32 Bcore, at the hands of Centerville, Thursday night. The game was hard fought, with Centerville on the short end most cfits length. The Shnmrocks piled up a lead in the first 10 minutes that discouraged Centerville fans, but the home team staged a come-back and the half ended 1S-15, the Shamrock3 leading. The visitors repeated their first half performance in the final session, leading Centerville 25-17. Centerville called time and at its conclusion "tsrted a whirlwind attack that pulled them tip and by. Shamrock subs were run in in a vain endeavor to save the game, but Centerville continued to increase its lead. Runnells was the bright offensive light for the Shamrocks, tossing eight field goals and two fouls. Eades came ia for second honors with five field markers. Mathews starred for tho winners, caging seven field and seven foul poals. Schadle came through with fivo field markers.
