Basketball Scores - ,
Richmond high school basket men
won a decisive game from the Eaton, j
Ohio, quintet Friday night at the umo city, after a hard fought battle. The final score stood at 24 to 16 with Rich
mond on the lone end. At half time, j
Richmond led by a S-S count. The Red and White team opened up strong and their offense put them in front within the first 10 minutes of play. Eaton backers -were sure of a win and the rooting was intense throughout the first half. The Preble county lads had played seven straight games without a set-back. Richmond, arrayed in new sweatshirts, made quite an impression when the entrance upon the fjoor was made. With the exception of Dan Rost, the entire Richmond team was in fine physical condition. Rost had experienced a bad cold during the holidays and was in no shape to play, but if the need had come, he would have gone in the fray and helped bring things out of the fire. "Whitey" Kessler was elected to perform in the other forward position in place of Rost and he worked well with Harkins. Kessler realized his opportunity and surely made use of it. He resembled a -fighting demon throughout the first half and his floor work was like that of an old-timer. Even with all his fight and good offensive work, "Whitey" was jinxed on basket shooting, which is his hardest task.
Harkins Connects Maintaining his reputation to connect with the basket from the side of the floor under pressing conditions, Dale Harkins stepped on his ability and connected with six field goals,
I which took the heart out of . Eaton.
iKvery time tnis piayer receiveu mc ball. Eaton spectators held their ?hrfnth in susnsnse. Harkins was cov
ered at, most stages of the game ana mly through his clever elusive play
ilid he break away for his snots.
Sam Green and Jean Grams put up uch a close guarding game in the ferine scrimmage that Eaton was unable o get any closer than 20 feet from he basket with a few exceptions. With
raflis taking care of the loose man, reen would nail any attempts to get
nder the basket.
Kennedy, the youngster from Green s
ork hieh team of last year, in tri-
ay's game stepped out and established
itnself. Each man on the local team played sterling game. The local boys cared out the winning policy, "All for
fie, and one for all.!'
Sherer Stands Out
Sherer, Eaton floor guard, was the
ly man to do mucn witn me meu-
lond defense and he was forced to
lot over the rafters for his goals.
A delegation of at least 100 Rich-
nil rooters made the trip to tne
io city and with the two rooting elents in the crowd, which packed the
Imony, tne rivalry was rcatu .

IN PATH OF COMETS Rallying In the final minutes of play
the New York State League (Colored) basketball team defeated the Richmond Comets on the Coliseum floor Friday night by the score of 24 to 23. The
game was hard fought. . A Richmond victory seemed assured until the last few minutes of play.
One of the largest crowds of the
season turned out for the contest. The game was a thriller from start until the finish. The visitors were not ac
customed to such' a large floor, but whenever they chose to pile up a few
points they would add a little steam and drop a few points through the nettings.

The points on the yisiting team was evenly divided among Thompson,
Bloomer and Anderson, each man making 8 points during the contest. All the men were In the thick of the battle. Kelly was the bright light for the

WILL REVISE STAFF OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
3MPIRES FOR 1922
(By Associated Press) CHIOXGO, Dec. 31 Baseball deals involving players are no more extensive this winter than the shake up of umpires in the National league, which involves Bill Brennan, Hank O'Day and Bob Emslie, and perhaps others, according to reports current here. It is understood. President fleydler plans an extensive revision of his staff. Brennan, already has been transferred to the Southern Association; O'Day is pressing for his release so he can sign up with the Pacific Coast league and Emslie it is understood is about to be retired on a pension after nearly 25 years faithful service. "Ducky" Holmes of the Western league, Paul Sentelle of the Texas league and Pfirman of the Southern Association have been added to the National league roster . Considerable opposition to Brennan had developed around the National circuit. O'Day's retirement from the majors is due to his desire to live in the west. Emslie is to be replaced by a younger man and rewarded for his long service, according to the stories here. O'Day has had a remarkable career in "the majors. Starting as a pitcher in the days when Connie Mack was backstopping, he switched to umpiring more than 5 years ago but in 1912 was persuaded to take the helm of the Cin
cinnati Reds. O Day brought them out of the last division into fourth place, but gave up the post after one year. He is said to have brought out the foul strike rule now in force in the majors and is regarded as one of the most diplomatic arbiters in the game.
The Dayton K. of C. basketball five will tackle the American Legion five next Wednesday night on the Coliseum floor. The Dayton team will
have Seward and Norb Sacksteder, who played here with the Dayton
Cadets.

Oscar Vitt. ' Oscar Vitt is admittedly a brilliant infielder. He formed a cog in the Red Sox inner garden with Mclnnis, Pratt and Scott last year, which led the league in clean fielding. But his one weakness caused the Sox to waive on him. He can't hit. When the Red Sox let him go recently no other American League club claimed him. So the Cinci Reds grabbed him at the waiver price. Whether he'll be used in another trade isn't known.
