EARLHAM FIVE DOPED TO SNATCH HONORS OF CHRISTIAN TEAM Earlham college will advance another notch In the season's basketball schedule when the wearers of the Maroon and White meet the Butler aggregation at the Coliseum Friday night. This is the Quakers' first I. C A. L. contest and the outcome will have an Important bearing on the final standing of the league. ' Dope seems to favor the local five but Coach Mowe is not anticipating an easy time sending the Christians home with the short end of the score. Athletics at Butler have undergone a complete change for the better since the advent ot Pat Page last year. Mowe knows tnat a tough scrap is in store for his men and; is preparing for the game tonight accordingly. Ruling in. Question. There is some doubt as to whether Beck, who has been holding down the floor guard position and was a big factor in the Purdue game, will be allowed to play. Last year Beck attended Wabash college. Under the I. C. A. L. ruling a man coming from another college is -not eligible to participate in. I. C. A. L. contests during his first year. It is probable that this ruling will keep him out of the game tonight. ' In case Beck is out the team will probably line up as with Lawler and Hadley at forward, Carey center, and Ooar and Hall guards Another combination that may be given a trial puts Bcasley at backguard and allows Hall to return to his old position at forward. In this case Goar would be
shifted to floor guard. May Try Scrubs. Some of the scrubs have been showing up well in practice games and may be given a chance in the Butler contest. They are Sellars, Townsend, Beasley and C. Kellum. Tonight's game will begin promptly at 8:00 p. m. There will be no curtain raiser The doors will open at 7:15. Persons holding reserved seat tickets will enter at the Bouth door.

'By Associated Press) ST. LOUIS, Jan. 7. Another new record has been created in the history of baseball finance by the report from Housjtin, Tex., quoting Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis Nationals as stating the club had recieved a bonifide offer of $300,000 and four players for Roger Hornsby, Cardinal second baseman and Champion hitter of the National league. This figure more than doubles the reported purchase price given by the New York Yankees for Babe Ruth in a deal which was conceded to put a
f-record valuation on a player's serv
ices, and is just twice the size of the offer made by the New York Nationals for Hornsby early last season. . Giants Make Offer. At that time according to a formal statement issued by President Samuel Breadon of the Cardinals, the Giants offered $150,000 and two players in exchange for Hornsby. When that was turned down the offer was raised to $200,000 according to Breadon's statement which it was explained, was Issued to end rumors that Hornsby was to be disposed of. In connection with the statement, Breadon asserted the club would not sell the second baseman "for a million." Later it was said the Giant management raised the bid another $50,000,
bringing the total offer to a quarter of a million, but again without suc
cess. When it was rejected. Manager McGraw of the Giants, was quoted as saying it would not be renewed. Hornsby Deal Rumored. Rumors that a deal was to be made for Hornsbv continued to crop up in
baseball circles alter the close of the season and several days ago Judge Francis X. McQuaid. treasurer of the Giants announced that an offer of $200,000 and four nlayers had been met by President Breadon with the reply the club woudl "consider it", if one of the four players were Frank Friseh. The New York club would not entertain such a proposition, Judge McOuaid said. Concurrently with this offer it was reported Hornsby was to figure in a five-team trade between Boston, Philadelphia. New York, Cincinnati and St. Louis, but Cardinal officials asserted no proposition of this nature was being considered. Hornsby Satisfied. Hornsbv. who is in the insurance

RETURN OF COMISKY
SETS RUMORS AFOOT
(By Associated Pressl CHICAGO, Jan. 7. The return of Owner Charles Comiskey of'the crippled White Sox team from a northern hunting trip revived gossip today concerning the line-up of the South Side American League club for the coming season. Optiigistlc statements came from the "Old Roman" over the team's prospects despite inability to buy or trade for good players from other major league teams. "I don't expect any held." Comiskey said. "We might make a tradt; if we wanted to, but we haven't any trading material. Wo need all the men we have left. I guess no one wants to fell us any players. If they did they probably would be letting us know about it, for they know we would likt to buy." Two Recruits Ready. At least two of the team's recruits, Comiskey declared, are ready for regular berths. One is Johnny Mostil, star outfielder last year on the Milwaukee American association team, who is backed by Catcher Ray Scbalk for lead-off man in the batting order, and the other is Earl Sheely, heavy-hitting Coast League first baseman. Ernje Johnson, Coast League shortstop with better than a 300 batting average last year, is also said to be ready for a White Sox debut, to fill another important gap left by the dismissal of seven players involved in charges of "throwing" games in the 1919 world's series with Cincinnati.
