BASKETBALL LEAGUE IN LOCAL COMMUNITY MAY BE PERFECTED Blar.s for a basketball league made up of independent organizations from towns in this community will be made at a meeting at the George Brehm store Wednesday evening, Nov. 17. at 8 p. m. Letters have been sent to managers of several teams and the opinion of these men is that such a league would be of great benefit to the game in each of the towns as well as the sport, in general. Every independent team in Wayne and nearby counties is asked to have a representative at the meeting at which time officers will probably be elected and plans made for the permanent formation of the loop. Independent tenms in Richmond are also invited to the meeting and at least two local squads will be taken in.the league. Interest in basketball is greater this season than ever before. Teams are being formed by all kinds of organizations and towns. The basketball public is going to demand that good basketball be given them and will not be content with piek'-up games with any organization which has no responsibility. The formation of this league is contemplated as a means of guarantee ing net followers in every town good clean basketball. High Class Tearr.s. Only teams of sufficiently high caliber will be admitted and in this way the advantages will be great to the teams as well as the public. The interest that, is generally created by a league will put the teams on a better financial tooling and do away with the scheduling of cheap teams as a money making proposition. Basketball leagues have proved cuccessful in the east, some progressing to a professional footing. The great interest in this locality insures the success of some form of a plan of this nature. Betters received from managers of several teams state that they will have men at the meeting with power to act In taking a berth in the new loop. Managers of teams in Eaton, Eldorado, New Madison, Whitewater, Hagerstown. Economy, Centerville, Cambridge City, Campbellstown and Richmond will take notice of ihe time and place of the meeting and try and have their representative present on time.

BLOCKED KICK GIVES RICHMOND VICTORY IN ARMISTICE GAME A blocked kick which rolled behind the Indianapolis goal line and was captured by Roach, local left half, enabled the Richmond American Legion team to triumph over the Greenwood American Iegion post of Indianapolis, 7 to 0, Thursday afternoon on Reid field. The game was a good exhibition of football and above the general class put up by independent teams. The rough playing that generally features an independent game was absent, and every man on the two teams played clean, fast and hard. Roach and Ashinger stood out prominently for the Richmond team. Ashinger got away for a pretty 35 yard end run at one time and hit the line fearlessly when given the ball. Roach had his eyes on the ball at all times and sifted through for consistent gains. His big play was the blocking of a drop kick on his 20 yard line, recovering the ball which had rolled to the Indianapolis 20 yard line. Roach Captures Oval. "Webb, left end, blocked the Indianapolis punt four minutes before the close of the game, which rolled across the goal line after it had eluded a Richmond and Indianapolis player. Roach captured the pigskin. Straight football was played virtually all the first half by both teams, straight line plunges being used consistently. In the second half both opened up with an aerial attack which fniled to give either a great advantage. Indianapolis completed two of their attempts, both for gains" of 13 yards. The locals were unable to get their passes across, although they tried them continuously May Claim Championship. Thursday's win gives the locals a chance 1o claim the state championship for legion teams. Kokomo and Tortland both have teams that are still in the race and the locals probably will meet one of these within the next two weeks. The Lineup. Richmond Indianapolis Dollins . . .

'fly Assoc iiiU'rt Press) TOKIO, Nov. 12. Japanese delegates now in Geneva to attend the meeting of the assembly of the league of nations have been cabled instructions giving them wide discretion regarding race equality proposals, says the Asa hi Shimbun of Osake. The opinion of the cabinet is said to be divided between the conviction that the present time is inopportune for such proposals and the fear that objecting nations might take political advantage of the situation. Three proposals rave been drafted by the Japanese deb?gates. One i3 designed to secure a:3-urances from the league again.st discrimination respecting tariffs and raw materials. The proposals probably will be presented if prospects are deemed favorable. Erie Asks Revocation Of Highway Crossings Order (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. The suit brought by. the Erie railroad to secure revocation of the order of the board of public utilities commission of Faterson, N. J., requiring the elimination of highway crossings within the city was cn the calendar for ar-i gument before the supreme court to- j day. Because of its sweeping charac-j ter. the public service railway com-; parry of New Jersey, the Western Union Telegraph company and other pri-: vate organizations joined with thej railroad in fighting the order. Counsel for the Erie, in brifs filed with the court, contended that the commission's action was unconstitu tional in that it violated the "due process" clause, and was arbitrary in : requiring the railroad to make large expenditures which it was financially unable to undertake.

Maroons, Sadly Crippled Meet Wolverines Saturday CBy Associated Press) CICAGO, Nov. 12. The university of Chicago football team, severely crip jled. left this morning for Ann Arbor, Mian., to make a Spartan effort against the Volverine3 Saturday. Crutches and plaster casts were numerous. Cole and Hanisch. two of the most valuable backficld men, are taken merely as spectators, as injuries have put them out of the game for the rest of the season. Miller Huggins By NORMAN E. BROWN Peppery, diminutive Miller Huggins, panned, frisd, turned over and done on the other side by the New York Yankees the past season because he failed to win a pennant, has volunteered to lead the Gotham ball tossers another season knockers be hanged. Which shows that. Hug's tiny frame carries considerable sand. Huggins has announced, however, that he will change his methods next year and will try to develop more speed on the bases, better catching and better pitching and not depend solely on the club's batting power to win games. Huggins probably would not be in the big leagues today as a pilot might even be unknown to big league fans but for his own sticktoitiveness as a player in the minors. He had won his way to Class AA and was playing with St. Paul when he decided that his size would bar him from becoming a major leaguer unless he could learn to bat left-handed and become a lead-off man. He figured he had to make his rep as a second Backer, too. He couldn't throw hard enough to get the ball across the diamond which eliminated third and first from his grasp. He couldn't even work fast as the middleman in a double play. But he learned to play second brilliantly. He practiced hours, days and months until he could bat left-handed. Eventually he was "called" and his fame as second baseman for the Cardinals spread over the baseball world. Later he managed the club before joining the American league.

WASHINGTON. All who have seen Roscoe Arbuckle, the genial comedian in ParamountFatty' Arbuckle comedies during the past three years and who has not? will find his characterization of fat "Slim" Hoover, the Sheriff whom nobody loves, in "The Round Up" which was fhown at the Washington Theatre last night, a worth while treaL This at least, was the verdict of the audiences which greeted the portly comedian in his first. Paramount feature picture produced by George Melford with exceptional splendor of appointments. The scenes of ' The Round Fp" are laid in Apache land and as might be expected, the dramatic element is not lacking. There are some scenes of unusually strong heart-appeal, while the thrills which accompany them hold one as by a magic spoil. One marvels at the photography of the outdoor scenes by Paul Perry as one admires the superiority of the cast. Mr. Arbuckle is no less interesting in the picture ihan was his namesake Macklyn Arbuckle in the stellar rolo of Edmund Day's celebrated play of which this is a picturization. Mabel Julienne Scott, who plays opposite him, evinced ability of a high order. MURRAY. "The Husband Hunter" is a brilliant comedy bordering at times on farce. The story is of a young girl who sets nut to capture the love of a man she has never seen. The picture is a splendid adaptation from F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, "Myra Meets His Family." Eileen Tercy enacts the role of Myra Hastings, the young woman in question. Vhen the story opens Myra's plan to win Kent Whitney is well under way. A storm forces Myra and Whitney into a deserted house in the woods and result.1? in the couple being quarantined, they being informed that scarlet fever had existed in the shack. Rather than expose Myra to any possibilities of bring compromised Kent proposes, and of course, is accepted. Miss Percy combines cleverness and beauty in a fine bit of acting. "The Husband Hunter' is one of the most enjoyable film comedies seen in eonje time. The star is admirably supported by Emory Johnson, as leading man. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE. "The Story of the Hunt" an artistic posing act, novel, in detail and very beautiful holds down the stellar role at the Murray Theatre the last, half of this week.

Feiber and Griffith put on a good Kinging and dancing act which had good harmony and mirth. It was among, the best that have appeared here for some time and even though not met with the applause it deserved, was very well received. Feiber has a vqice similar to Shank, of the famous Van and Shank team, and uses it effectively. Frawley and Clark open the card with a comedy gymnast act which is good but similar to several seen here recently and hence did not score heavily. Gwen and Clark in "Nifty Nonsnse" come second 'and work th audience into a good htor with their gift of gab, songs and jokes.
