BASEBALL GUESSERS SEEK TO PLAGE CLARENCE ROW LAND, DETROIT SCOUT

Baseball guessers, good and bad, are busy placing Clarence Rowland,

former manager of the Chicago White j Sox, and the past season a scout, for Is America to "have another middlethe Detroit club. Most of them agree j weight of the Stanley Ketchel and that he 13 in line to succeed Hughey!Eilly Papke class? Boxing fans who Jennings at Detroit, which sounds rea-i have seen Billy Shade, an almost unsonable, since he already is connected j heard-of fighter from San Francisco, with the club. Others aver, however, in action against a couple of high-

that Rowland will land with the St. Louis Browns, succeeding Jimmy Rurke. though there, if the logic of things is pursued, Lee Kohl would nat urally arop into the job. All agree (hat Rowland should land somewhere as a big league manager for they figure he deserves such a position on the showing he made with the Chicago White Sox before Charles A. Comiskey dismissed him. Will it be Detroit or St. Louis? Miller Huggins' enemies among the Sew York writers' fraternity just could not resist slamming at him in the hour or his reappointment as manager of the Yankees. Several of them announced to their readers that while Huggins had been engaged, the appointment of Ed Barrow as business manager was the real news, for in all probability Barrow would take over the team management, replacing Huggins as soon as the latter showed his inability to handle the job, which RAPID RISE OF RAPP PLEASES LOCAL FANS Richmond fans who have been following the career of Joe "Goldie" Rapp since' 1917, when he was the star of the Richmond Central league club, will bo pleased to learn that he has just been purchased by the New York National leaguo club from the St. Paul American Association club. St. Paul will receivo two players and $15,000 from the Giants in exchange tor Rapp. Rapp's many Richmond friends had hoped that he would be purchased by Cincinnati, which club had him at the beginning of the 191!) season but sold him to St. Paul for $1,000. Rapp had a wonderful season with St. Paul. He batted over .320. led the league in base stealing and was recognized as the best fielding third baseman in the association. Purchased From Peoria. Toward the middle of the 1917 playing season Richmond purchased Rapp from the Peoria club of the Three-I league for $200. He immediately establi.shcd himself as the best third j taseman in the Central league and j when occasionally used as shortstop! proved to be a classy performer in that position. He was, undoubtedly, the most popular player on the Richmond club. At the close of 1917 seat-on Cincinnati offered Richmond $1,500 for Itapp and the deal would j have gone through had the league i park gates closed during 1918 because of tho war. This action resulted in! ihe Central league players becoming i free agents and Cincinnati secured Rapp without cost. In 1918 Rapp was in the army and the following year he was ' farmed" by the Reds to the Beaumont club of the Texas league, where lie performed so brilliantly that the Reds recalled him. Manager Moran of the Reds turned Rapp over to St. Paul without much of a trial at the opening of the last playing season. Manager McGraw of the New ork Giants announces that Rapp will be i . , . . . ! . : . i i . . I piayeu reguiariy at uuru im&e uwi season and that the sensational Frisch, who played third last season, will be transferred to second base.

They also compare hira favorably to the iate Ketchel. If all this is true, then the United States will be able to boast of a nrst-ciass miaaieweigm, wno may bring fame, as did the late Ketchel and the great Nonpareil Jack Dempsey before him. Shade had been boxing in a small way around Frisco, but, finding the game not too good financially, he et sail for Australia, taking with him his manager, Jimy Gilfeather. They land ed unheralded, but soon had a chance . to show what the boy was made of. .He fought a fellow named Hunert Hinton and stopped him in one round. It was thought to be a fluke, so Billy was asked to meet Tommy Uren, the middleweight champion of Australia, and the match was made. Uren is a high-class fighter and a tough one, but Shade knocked him out in the nineteenth roi'id of a whirlwind battle. QUAKER NET SEASON BEGINS DECEMBER 10 Earlham basketball season will begin Dec. 10, on the home floor, according to announcements made by Coach Mowe, Thursday morning. All games played before Christmas holidays by the local college will be practice games to some extent. Basketball practice will be started the latter part of next week, the first part will be given the men who have been out for football a chance to rest up before beginning the strenuous net season. Notre Dame's basketball squad will make a swing through this part of the country at one time during its season and has promised a game to Coach Mowe. This will undoubtedly be the biggest drawing card of the season. Other strong teams are being angled for by the local mentor. The first game will probably be with Antioch college on Dec' 10. The Indianapolis Dental college will be here on Dec. 17; Wabash will be the tirst awav from home, game being played on Dec. 22.

New Lisbon will entertain the C M A. C. team of Cambridge City Saturday night. The cigar team is romping along at a great rate and will give the Lisbonites a mouthful to handle. Lynn will open up its season on Thanksgiving night when it will play the K. of C. team from Richmond on their floor. The Lynn team has mst been organized and are holding first practices. Their showing in the opening game is difficult to predict. The local K. of C.'s have been practicing diligently for the past three or four weeks and will bo a hard proposition for any team to take over when they get going. Football Season Nears End; Miami Turns to Basketball OXFORD. O.. Nov. IS. Although the football season is not yet over, basketball is receiving a great, deal of attention in athletic circles at Miami University. This probably is due to tho fact that Miami's basketball schedule, just completed and made public, is one of the longest and hardest ever arranged. Just what kind of a team Miimi will have this winter cannot be forecast with any degree of certitude at this time, but with the material available Coach Little is not anticipating any trouble in rounding up a team that will give a good account of itself. Miami's schedule is as follows: Jan. 7 Ohio University at Oxford. Jan. 15 Kenyon College at Oxford. Jan. 21 Denison University at Granville. Jan. 22 Capital College at Columbus.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Princeton Football Outlook Is Bright f or 1921 Season (By Associated Press PRIN'CETON, N. J., Nov. 18. With the football season past history for this year, Princeton is looking forward to the prospects for next year's team, which should be superior to even the 1920 aggregation if material means anything. Of the men on the varsity, only three are lost through graduation, Davis, at end; Cap. Callahan at Center, and Joe Scheerer, at fullback. Eight other positions can be'filled by this year's veterans, and sevtral substitutes with men who are now ineligible will undoubtedly more than fill the shoes of the department. Head coach Roper is to have Stinson as one veteran end and Snively, a this year ineligible, to take the other wing. At tackle both of this year's men remain. In addition to these there is Frank Rutan who had a varsity berth cinched this fall when an early season injury removed him from further participation. There are many good candidates for the guard positions including Dickin son and McMannon, who were first choice all this season. Home-Coming Banquet For Johnny Evers, Dec. 1 7 CHICAGO, Nov. 18.
