MORTON VANQUISHES STIVERS AT DAYTON BY 33 T0 16 COUNT
DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 3. Coach Little's Morton (Richmond) athletes
handed Stivers high school a neat lacing here Friday night by a decision of 33 to 16. Score at half time Bhowed Richmond leading 16 to 6. The visiting athletes outplayed the Stivers lads in every department of the game, and the most outstanding feature of the game was that Richmond players did not commit or were not called for a single personal fouL Each player seemed intent on playing the ball at all times, thus never having time to commit a foul. Richmond's offense moved more smoothly than any team's yet shown here this season. Short passes proved the undoing of Stivers from the opening whistle which started the game. Extremely close guarding by the visitors kept Stivers goal shooters from getting into scoring territory at any time during the fray. Guards Are Good Kessler and Mattox were the stellar performers for Richmond with their brilliant style of defensive play, which kept Stivers forwards bewildered at all times. Nixon, Muey and Kennedy carried the scoring burdens for the winners and worked into team play with Sauter at center with apparent ease. Richmond's next game is with Steele, of Dayton, at Richmond next
Saturday night. Summary: Richmond (33) Stivers (16) Muey .......... ..F. ....... . Herman Kennedy F Ramby Sauter ........... C English Kessler G R, Young Mattox G Smolar Field goals: Muey 5, Nixon 4, Kennedy 3, Kessler 2, Herman 4, English 2, Ramby 2.

IS HUGHIE JENNINGS THE HARBINGER OF PENNANTS FOR McG RAW'S TEAM!
LOCAL PENNSY ROMPS OVER CINCY QUINTET Richmond division Pennsy net five romped away with an easy win over the Cincinnati division team at the local Y. M. C. A. Friday night by a 58 to 15 score before a capacity crowd. All the Pennsy second-string men had a chance to make good after the score
had been run up, and they all took advantage of the chance, every man getting into the game connecting for at least one field goal. The Richmond
division band was on hand and it
served to liven things up a bit
throughout the game with its spirited
music.
Lamb and Samuels were the heavy scorers for the winners, and Martin,
backguard, played a whirlwind defen
sive game. For the losers, Heuy was
the main cog in both defense and or fense. Summary:

jn, wnai a nice mess is mis uiin. war for the minor league baseballer. The best he gets out of the tussle between major and non-draft minor league magnates is a sundry collection of kicks in the tenderest part of his financial slats. Here's the story: Prior to this season, whenever a young baseballer failed to make good in the majors' and needed a bit more seasoning, he was sent back to the bushes usually to a club in one of
the class AA leagues, where salaries
are reasonably high.
In the history of the game, there
are only a rare few instances where a minor, who- failei to deliver in the majors, was sent back to a smaller league whence he came. That's all clear, isn't it? But conditions have changed! A resolution, adopted by the majors during the winter, intended as a wallop at the five non-draft leagues International, American Association, Pacific, Three-Eye, ad Western has altered everything. That resolution in substance reads: "No player hereafter will be turned
back to any of the five non-draft leagues except upon condition hat the major leagues at any time thereafter may draft back such players into major league baseball." Immediately afterward the non-draft minors assumed this attitude: "Our leagues" were declared exempt from draft for a period of seven years from 1921 until 1D27 inclusive. The ruling powers in major league baseball made that deal with
us in good faith. Therefore we are not going to permit any drafting of any sort under any circumstances until 1927. If you major leaguers want to turn unseasoned players back to us, we'll take them but they will not be subject to later draft. We'll take those players and keep them for our little selves or we will develop 'em sufficiently so that you'll want to buy 'em back." Major Throats Croak. Thereupon a howl issued forth from the major throats. "Outrageous!" they yelled. 'Think of the absurdity of that proposition! We buy a player, say, from the Pacific Coast league and pay $100,000 for him. We try him out but he isn't ripe. We then turn him back to that league without getting back our $100,000 and a season or two later if we want that player,- we have to pay

THREATENS TO REPEAL N. Y. BOXING LAW
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Repeal of the
state boxing law will ba sought in
event the state athletic commission
bars the world's heavyweight title bout between Champion Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, negro challenger. Senator James J. Walker, author of the present legislation permitting professional boxing has announced. Approving any action forbidding a Dempsey-Willard contest, Senator Walker declared that thet Wills match ceuld not be banned for discrimination of "race, creed or color" or for commercialism.
I regard Dempsey- ills bout a3 a clean contest between two athletes of recognized ability," he said, "and I am
preparing for the repeal of the law
bearing my name if I am convinced that this contest has been prevented
through discrimination.

Spartanburg Has Easy j
Time With Farmland SPARTANBURG. Ind., Feb. 3. The
local high school net five won from
the Farmland high school team here Friday night by a 34 to 11 score in a slow game. The winners had little trouble in working the ball down the
floor for short shots at the basket, and most of the points were made on shots from under the goal. Farnir land failed to penetrate the defense of of the locals to any extent, making most all its points on long shots.
Shoemake, Brown and Mann were the main cogs in the machine-like work of the locals and Bales played a good game for the losers. Summary: Farmland (11) Spartanburg (34) Somerville F Shoemake Bales F Hutchinson Mclntyre C Pickett Freddline G Brown

LIBERTY LOSES FAST GAME TO BROOKVILLE
Charley Robertson, Charley Robertson, the young White Sox pitching rookie who hurled a no-hit game last year, is reported holding out for mon dough before signing his 1923 contract. On top of this news comes word that the New York Yankees want him included with Eddie Cci-li-is and Bib Falk in t'.e long-talked of trade for Bob Meusel, Aaron Ward and WJtj Hoyt.
for him all over againat any price the Pacific Coast league club may be pleased to fix. V'You sezzer," answered the nondraft minora. "That's exactly the situation. Ain't it a nice one for us?" Now comes the real recital. The majors have threatened in this fashion: "Either you non-draft minors take back players from us subject to draft in later years, or we will not turn
back a single man to you. We'll turn
em back to the minor leagues which have not been exempted from the draft."
That's all fair enough except for
the noble athlete. For instance: What About Bentley?
The Giants speared Jack Bentley from Baltimore, paying around $65,000
lor him. buppose Bentley fails to
make good and appears as if he'll
need another year or two in the bush
es. What becomes of him?
Nothing, except that this man who
was the most sensational and perhaps
the highest salaried athlete in the International (Class AA) league will be sent to one of the lowly minor leagues, where he perhaps will get only half of the salary which Baltimore had

EARLHAM FIVE WEAK
'IN DEPAUW NET FRAY ' Earlham fell before the attack of the DePauw Tigers 29 to 16 at the Coliseum Friday night The visitors came out with a fast game and scored after the first few minutes of play. The Quaker lads failed to get a winning combination together and were outclassed in all departments of the game. Captain Hadley, of the Quakers, started the scoring with a field goal immediately after the tip-off. Wills came back with a field goal for DePauw and they battled on even terms for a few minutes with the score 5 to 4 in favor of the visitors. Then goal 3 by Hirt, Wills and Lauglin put the Tigers in the lead and the Quakers never threatened. The half ended 16 to 7 in favor of DePauw. Earlham Tightens. Earlham tightened up some In the second period but were not able to gain on the fast growing lead of the Methodists. Coach Mowe tried several combinations attempting to find a quintet that could stop the visitors, but the Quakers failed to get together
for a winning team. Hadley was high
point man for the locals, counting fivo markers from the field. Wills and Hirt showed up best for the visitors.
