An Amateur at Half Back,
Especial to the Palladium

Mun,ie December 1o.-With an
amateur at half back Muncie played
all around Richmond and had no
trouble in defeating the Quakers, 4
to 3. The game was very fast one
and all of the men played good, hard
polo and some of the different plays
We're the best ever seen on the local
floor. The only spectacular playing
of the game was the work of De-
Witt on defense for Muncie. Young
Cunningham seemed to be off form
tonight and all of the goal getting
was left to Bone. Both Mansfield
and Doherty played great game on
the defense for Richmond. Doherty
was particularly good. The game
was practically a clean one, only one
foul being called and that one on
Doherty. 81:

Tickets to Be Returned.

1t is the earnest request of the
managers of the Eagles minstrel
show that all persons who have tick
cts allotted to them, should make a
report as to the tickets sold by
Thursday morning. All unsold tick
cts to be turned in at the same time.
This action is necessary from the fact
that Manager Flick will leave the city

HIGGINS and HART
Will Likely Appear in Indianapolis
Uniforms.

It is now probable that tonight
Eddie Higgins and Bobby Hart, erst-
while rushers on the Muncie polo
team, will appear in indianapolis I'M
iforms. Manager Cohen, of the In
dianapolis team, has signed them and
he has all assurance that they will
The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-12-20

be in the game this evening. For
several weeks Cohen has been i'm
ploring the managers of the Central
League to let him strengthen his
team, but until yesterday morning
he did not have the permission of
President Foor. After Saturdays
game, Cohen said that he would hire
Higgins and Hart, permission or no
permission, and he did not care how
the matter would end. He notified
President Foor to this effect and Mr..
Foor told him to go ahead and get
the players. The arrangement of
things will mean that McGilvary will
90 to center, Coggshall to half back
until O'Hara RECEIVERS from his re
cent injury and Kid Haughton will
90 to the bench. 1t is reported that
Higgins and Hart will receive greater
salaries than they receive at Muncie.
IF all of the above is the truth the
next few days will see some great
changes in the Western Polo Lea
que. Tt is likely that the Muncie
fans will quit the game with both
Higgins and Hart out of it. The
new move shows that any Western
League team is open to invasion by
the Central League people. What
will the morrow bring?
Another Story.
Especial to the Palladium
Muncie, December 19.-Previous to
tonight's game between Richmond
and Muncie Referee Latham came
out on the floor and addressed the
fans in behalf Of Higgins and Hart.
Tn favor of the two men Referee
Latham announced that they would
stay with the Muncie team until the
last bird had died. The fans re-
ceived the few remarks with cheers.
1t is thought by some people that the
speech was made simply to keep the
fans from getting sore at Higgins
and Hart during the game. 1t is as
serted that fifteen minutes before
the game both of the players called
up Manager Cohen over the long dis
lance telephone and told him that
they would be in indianapolis tomor-
row night to play with the Indians.
Manager Cohen left indianapolis to-
night to get the players here.

The $50 or more employees OF the United

of wages commencing Monday morning
next. The exact amount OF the reduction
has not been fixed upon as yet, according
90 the statement OF Agent Barker. made
yesterday morning. This mill IL one OF
the few nslls In this vicinity that has
been running on full time. and the news
OF reduction was not a surprise to those
affected.
This Central Falls mill has been no.

ing reduction OF wages and this recent
decision need not be construed as fore
casting, except in a very vague way. the
trend OF affairs in the cotton milling bust

OF mills will beg overned largely BY the
attitude OF the unions In Fall River If
the Fall River operatives accept the
seemingly inevitable reduction early ac-

Mrs. Smith scouts the idea OF spiritual

lations the safe door swung open, says II
was nothing else. The little safe con-
tained all the valuable papers belonging
70 Colonel Smith and he was the only
one who knew the combination.
The experts worked at II for a day or
two and then gave II up as bad job and
advised Mrs. Smith 10 have the door

Mr.. swett is an enthusiastic spiritual
list. Meanwhile Mrs. Smith, who is de-
vout Christian, was praying daily that
the safe might be opened and save her
further worry and expense.
SWEET says he has been a spirituaiist
for forty years at least twenty OF which
he has been a medium. and has about
twenty-five spirit guides One OF his
guides. he says is an Indian girl and she
il the one who he states saw Colonel
Smith in the other world got from him
the combination and transmitted IL, thus
enabling the safe TO be opened. He tells
the story as follows:
II conceived the idea that would open
that safe got that impression last Sun
day night and asked my spirit guides 10
help me. | went TO the safe about nine
o'clock Monday morning and touched the
combination lock, as / sat down before IL.
Instantly realized that some invisible
power had assumed dominion over my
hand.

impulse TO reverse II. This did. and
again my hand, impelled by the spirit
guide, moved In the opposite direction
and stopped. Then the door slowly opened
