have an opportunity now to show ;
their willingness to support the game j here. Baseball Booster buttons, 10,000 of them, were distributed by the baseball committee Wednesday, and ' will be placed on sale by the 100 sales-' men who have guaranteed the finances ; of the eame here. No work toward the baseball league will be started until the $10,000 fund is collected. As soon as the fund is collected, which will probably be by Thursday morning, active work o organizing the league will be started. Members of the Richmond baseball committee are planning to call a meeting of league heads here within the week, in an effort to bring about some understanding with regard to the circuit in which the city will be represented. May Rejuvenate Central. An ideal league, in the opinion of most fans here, would be a consolidation of the proposed Central and Indiana-Ohio circuits, taking eight, or possibly 10 of the leading clubs in both circuits and forming a rejuvenat ed Central league. Efforts to this end probably will be made by Richmond boosters when a league meeting is called. Mileage rates will figure largely in the circuit including a Richmond club. The mileage is ideal In the proposed Indiana-Ohio circuit, but many of the cities in this circuit are new league towns, and with a new league, there is some question as to whether a league playing ball every day in the week would be properly supported. The Central league, however, is in a field that has already proven its ability to support daily league games. nd except for the long trips into Michigan, would be an ideal circuit for Richmond to enter. Would Be Ideal. A league club, with Springfield, Ft Wayne. Richmond, and Muncie or Lima, O., with four Michigan cities, it 1s believed, would furnish an ideal attraction for all supporters of the ' came. None of the fund collocted by the r.ooster campaign win be used to! liquidate Hip old standing debt of the Richmond Exhibition company at the j present time, a member of that organlzation said Wednesday. The fund j v. ill be used only to instill a team and socurp the finances of the club for the season. Profits from the league season will bo used to pay the old company's debt, and the Booster fund will be used to perpetuate tha game here during coming years. Baseball May Be Dropped From I. C. A. L. Schedules Baseball in I. C. A. L. circles is liable to be dropped from the list of sports as a result of the meeting to be held at Indianapolis. Friday. None of the schools has had a successful baseball season and the student bodies are not enthusiastic. Butler's action in canceling ts entre schedule is expected to cause the discussion. Coach Ray Mowe will represent Earlham at the I. C. A. L. mogul's meeting and will be empowered by ! the Earlham athletic association to vote on all propositions brought up, providing that the old rules of the organization are enforced and needed new ones made. Mowe will introduce :i motion to withhold the award of the loving cup for the basketball championship. Franklin was voted at the lai't meeting, but Mowe contends j rrantuin aid not actually win ine liampionship. CAM DEM WINS PENNANT ! IN PREBLE COUNTY EATON, O.. March 31.

Camden has won the pennant the last several years consecutively, it is said. i I Bowli ins The A. S.

Felt man's Tramps displayed real class in the match with the Haberdashers, f-tepping above the thousand mark in the second game. The high scores vere needed, however, as the Haberdashers were close on the heels of the leaders.

Duffy Lewis. Duffy Lewis, staid old veteran of world's series and many big league campaigns, almost kissed his big league career good-bye last winter. The dependable outfielder of the Yankee crew is just getting himself in shape after his close call. Lewis's home is at Boyes Springs, Cal. Last winter he decided to paint his garage. While climbing about on the ladder he fell and cut his arm. The paint fell, too, of course, and some of the paint penetrated the cut in his arm. Blood poisoning set. in and for a time his condition was serious. Amputation of his arm was considered a possibility at one time. Lewis's perfect physical condition helped though and the arm is rapidly rounding into its old form again. The loss of Lewis would have been a sad blow to the Yanks. He is a star fielder and a valuable unit on offense. Lewis is a native of California. Was born in San Francisco April 18, 1888. He broke into pro ball with the Alamada team in the California State league in 1907 and the next year signed with Oakland in the Pacific oast league, in 110 the Red Sox ecouts recommended Lewis as ready lor the big show and the Red Sox grabbed him. He broke into the lime - ngnt almost immediately and is regarded as one of the best outfielders in the game. He played a brilliant game with the Sox untij. the war came along. Then he joined the navy. Last year the Yanks obtained him along i witn tLrnie hhore and Leonard for a squad of Yank3, including Walters and Gilhooley, and a wad of kale. Mowe Schedules Five Baseball Games; May Get More in J. C. A. L. Coach Mowe, of Earlham, used the long distance 'phone to good advant age Tuesday. He definitelv Kf-hprtulfd five baseball scrans. The first is with St. Mary's at Reid Field, on May 1. The second is with Muncie State Normal, the game to also be played here. Earlham plays a return game with Muncie on May 22, and brings ' Muncie here on May 25. A return game , witn Ht. Mary s is played at Dayton on May 29. Two games with the Wilberforce colored college may also be added to the Quaker schedule. Coach Mowe will attend a meeting of I. C. A. L. moguls Friday and will probably pick up a couple of scraps. The Earlham baseball team is well on the way to condition and for the present will work out under Captain Templetown. Both Coaches Mowe and Higgins will confine efforts to the Quaker track team, which has not rounded into condition as rapidly as the ball tossers. Golf and Tennis Opening Up at the Country Club The golfing spason at the Richmond country club will be started within the next three weeks. The course is now very soft and a successful round cannot be played. Occasional parties brave the handicaps, however, and go through the nine holes as a preliminary to the start of the season. Golf has been played on the course during the winter. Richmond has one of the best nine hole courses in the state. The golf course and the tennis courts at the club will be worked. upon and put Into prime condition by the middle of April. Present plans are that tennis will also be taken up more j extensively this year than last. The club has two courts and tlrese are usually busy during the summer, but this year the championships of the club are to be decided. SOPHOMORES OUT IN FRONT IN EARLHAM BASKETBALL ! The end of the girl's inter-class : basketball games at Earlham saw the , champion sophomores winner over I the hard fighting freshies, Tuesday ! afternoon. The second place juniors ! having an easy time taking their j measure Tuesda. afternoon. Outdoor athletics will be started by the girls ! next week. These will include Greek ! athletics, tennis, archery and base ball. The tennis courts are being repaired and put into shape this week. It is probable that tennis matches will be played with girl teams from other schools. CHANOS IS BEATEN Jimmie Chanos, former welterweight wrestler of this city, was defeated by Billy Trout, of Kokomo, after 90 min utes of gruelling wrestling at Kokomo Monday night. Chanos Muncie as his home. now claims D ALTON TO TRAIN HERE. Jimmy Dalton, lightweight battler, of Indianapolis, has been taken under the wing of Billy Benson, Richmond promoter and manager. This gives Benson two scrappers.

Paddack, O. E. Brubaker, George Morningstar and Howard Hart constitute the board of directors of the reorganized exchange. The board will select the controlling officers. The purpose of tho exchange is to engage in a general grain elevator business. There are several similar organizations now operating in Preble county. Fairhaven Grange Organized. With a charter membership of more than one hundred, Fairhaven grange, Israel township, has been organized. Organization was effected under supervision of H. D. Bragg, New Paris, county deputy grange master. H. G. Morton is at the head t Fairhaven grange as master. County Deputy Bragg states prospects are bright for organization of at least three more granges in the county, which would bring the total number of grange units up to a dozen or more. Preble County Pomona grange is the parent body. There are fully 1,300 grangers in Preble county, according to Deputy Bragg. "Y" Benefits in Will. Dayton Y. M. C.

Below, Go die Rapp, Cinci boy with Beaumont last year, is living up to his name. Right now it looks as though Patrick Moran of Fitchburg, Mass., and Cincinnati, O., has about the toughest job in baseball.

The acquisition of Nehf and Douglas, both star hurlers, bolsters the Giant staff. The presence of Alexander and Davey Robertson, all ! primed for action, at the opening of the season, gives the cuds a more powerful outfit. There are other minor improvements in both clubs. About the only added strength the Reds have at the outbreak is the youngster, Pat Duncan, whose terrific hitting was a feature of the world series last fall. He will bolster up an

Pat had him out in . the minors last season. j Sam Crane, infielder, isn't exactly : a rookie. The Reds had him once before previous to Moran's arrival. Washington tried him out, too. Moran , however, believes Crane will fill the bill as utility infielder. Young Tom Casey from the Frisco sandlots looks like a promising catcher and may hang on, although Rariden, Wingo and Allen give Pat a good trio. Hank Schreibler, infielder given a tryout last fall, along with Charley See, will be retained for emergency. Of course, Moran's pitching staff looks to be the cream of the country still. Eller, Ring, Sallee, Reuther, Fisher, Luque and company will give Moran his same classy hurling. But the Giants almost overcame this handicap last year. Pat's staff will have a tougher job this year. The Reds sure will give the league another merry battle, but the opposition's going to be a lot tougher.
