William G. Richardson is Silent Parmer of "Old Fox"
It's a far cry from the grain business to the ivory business. But William G. Richardson made the jump over night and is making a go of the ivory business meaning baseball. , Richardson is the life-long friend of Clark Griffith, who Joined the -Old Fox" in purchasing on an equal basis the controlling interest, in the Washington American league club a couple of years ago. , - Richardson had been known as an ardent fan for years and had had hopes i a part owner for about the same numDer or years. HIs chance came with of breaking into the game as at least Griffith when Benjamin L. Minor, then president of the club, and his associates -decided to sell. Antagonism of the fans toward the Minor regime caused the sale. Richardson is the silent member of the pair that bought all but a few 'stock and controls the club's policy. Richardson, because of his confidence in Griff, is willing to let the wise old head handle the reins. RICHMOND RECORD GOOD FOR TOURNEY IS GENERAL BELIEF Local -high 6chool basketball lads have finished their 1921-22 season with a record of 16 games played and only three lost They have passed through an unusually successful season and should be able to take the. district tourney if the old time form is kept up. With four days ahead of them in which to rest and prepare for the tourney the men are expected to round into the best of physical condition for the great grind which is to come. Of the 16 games played, Richmond has only played six games on her home floor. This fact establishes the strength of thateam in its ability to cope with any tea.ni on foreign floors. Lose to Rushville . The boys lost to Rushville on the latter's floor by the score of 21 to 16 in a hard battle which was only won in the last few minutes of play. In the next big game they lost to Columbus on the Coliseum floor by a 37 to 28 count. This game was one in which Columbus had a night on and they could hardly miss the basket. Kessler was out of the game and seriously handicapped the locals. The first invasion of the team at the first of the year Baw them meet defeat at the hands of Milroy on the latter's floor. This defeat cut little figure with the team, however, and it is considered the locals have the better team. With the above record hanging over their heads, the Richmond lads under Coach Stenger will enter the tourney with a big chance to land the superior honors.

NOT DONE YET Is Rube Marquard. The wondering Rube Is figurea oa by Boston Brave stockholders and fan. i n A rl f Vi tii.r.'h ftiot uMll Till t ... . ... XT- .. , , uitti icaiu iu tun iNauouai league iato. And this after Rube hatt been given a real nice burial by some of his nonadrnirers. He was obtained from the Cincl Reds a short time ago by the Braves. . Rube has passed his prime but still ranks as a formidable southpaw when he la going good. He sprang into fame in 1908 when the New York Giants paid $11,000 to the Indianapolis A. A. team for him. Rube failed to shine right off the bat, however, and came to be known as the "$11,000 lemon." Despite this slur the Rube kept plugging and has proved one of the great pitchers of the game. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio,! May 22, 1889. He broke into the minor leagues with the Waterloo club of j the Iowa league in 1906. He joined j the Indianapolis club the next season but was farmed to Canton in the Central league until recalled and sold to the Giants. He played for McGraw until 1915 when he went to the Dodgers at the ; l win the pennant in 1920, pitching among other important games, two against the Giants that hurt their chances. The Dodgers then traded Marauard to the Reds for Dutch Reuther. One thing that must be said for the southpaw is that he always has been willing to work out of his turn and often to help teammates in distress on the mound. Two office boys met outside the palatial offices of a firm that was reputed to be worth millions, and which employed over 2,000 people. Said the first boy: "Ullo, Dick! Wotcher lookin' at the orfice wot sacked you last week for? Are yer tryin' to get took back?" ' , His friend sniffed. ' "No bloomin' fear!" he said. "I just dropped roun' to see if they woz still in biz'ness." Richmond sure came through in the pinch In its game with the Newcastle high five on the Coliseumwor Friday night. With the Newcastle team stag ing a rally, the locals steped in and stopped it and started one of their own that netted them a victory. The game was ty far the best game the high Echool has had on the local floor this season. Rost was a marked man in the contest, having a man on his neck from the very start of the game until the finish, but he never let up. In the first half he was allowed but two shots at the basket, but in the second half he broke away from his man in the last five minutes of the game and connected for two pretty goals that brought the Richmond lads out on the long end. Martinsville Tri - State champions etruck a snag when they hit the Vincennes five at Martinsville Friday night when they received a 40 to 12 lacing. Wampler pitched free throws, making 14 out of 16 attempts. What would Vincennes have done in the Tristate meet? Drawings for the district, regional and finals in the state tournament will be made by the board of control of the I. H. A. A. S. at Indianapolis Saturday afternoon. ' Purdue and Indiana are both primed for the game between the two teams at Lafayete Saturday night, which promises to be the hottest battle the two teams have participated in this season. Both teams are in perfect condition, and Purdue is said to have the edge on the outcome, but there is no such thing as dope when these two team meet. UPSETS IN BIG TEN POSSIBLE TONIGHT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 25. More upsets in the big ten conference basketball race are possible tonight when eight teams go Into action. The University of II linois quintet, close on the heels of Purdue for the lead in the race, meets Michigan at Ann Arbor.
