The merry polo war is on and both
leagues have fired their opening guns
and up to o'clock Christmas morn
ing honor stood evenly divided. The
Central League Immediately upon
notification that the Western Lea
que had broken off diplomatic rela-
tons and had declared war, took
the iniative and sent a scouting
party, under the command Of Col
onel Cohen, First Israelite Regiment,
into camp Muncie, where Eddie
Higgins was taken. prisoner of war
and taken to Indianapolis. where he
will rush with Kid Haughton.
While the Central League raiding
party was at work, Major General
Petty, Of the Muncie Western Lea
gue detachment, was not wasting
time. He was making swoop on
FIT. WAYNE and yesterday morning
returned to his camp fire with Phil
Jason, of the Champion Fl. Wayne
aggregation. Jason was the crack
rush of the Central League and will
fill Mr.. Higgins shoes to the entire
satisfaction of Muncie "bugdom. !"
Jason made his first appearance in a
Muncie uniform last night at the
Coliseum and his play was one of
the games featues. He is nearly as
large as Bobby Hart and the two
men, when they come down the floor
look like a pair of armoured cruis-
ers.
The following is the way Higgins
was captured by Colonel Cohen, &C
cording to last evenings Indianapo-
lis News:
Higgins Kept Appointment.
Yesterday morning Cohen and
Bronson made an engagement with
Eddie Higgins and Bobby Hart to
The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-12-25

meet them at Yorktown, just outside
Of Muncie. The Muncie club owners
got wind of the engagement and tri-
ed to prevent the players from keep
ing 1t. Higgins, however, managed
to meet the Central League men on
schedule time. On account of the
danger of personal violence Higgins
did not stay in Yorktown any longer
than to promise that he and Hart
would come to Indianapolis.
Cohen and Bronson then went to
Anderson and twice tried to get
word to Higgins and Hart, but ow-
ing to interference by Mart Norton
and Walter Petty, they We're unsuc-
cessful. They then went to Muncie
and awaited the home coming of the
Muncie team, after the game at An
derson. Higgins and Hart met them
at the Kirby House, where they had
long talk. During the conference
Lon and Walter Petty ascertained
that deal was on, and together
with several Muncie fans, made sew
eral efforts to find Cohen and Bron-
son. The clerk at the hotel refused
to tell the number Of their room.
"Brother' Ben Crosse, Of the In
dianapolis Sentinel, had an article
in his sheet last night that read like
description of street fight or a
|hand-to-hand mixup at 2O3 Metre
hill. The article made the widest
yarns of Stanley Weyman or An
thony Hope appear insipid and as
tame as pink tea. It told how the
angry citizens of Muncie chased the
Indianapolis magnates around dark
streets with clubs and loaded revol-
vers; of fast rides in closed carri-
ages and secret conclaves in obscure
places.
Bobby Hart was asked last night
If he would jump Muncie and he
answered a most emphatic "No.'
However,, Bobby may be stalling--
Higgins told the same story Of indy
ing loyalty to Muncie, then executed
a kangaroo movement. 1t remains
to be seen what the big fellow really
has up his sleeve. Round number
one is a matter of history. By
Tuesday the jabs and counter jabs
will be landing thick and fast. The
league that developes the best stay
ing qualities will take the money. 1t
is cinch that one or the other will
take the count before the end of the
season.

GEORGE ABE
Will Not Enjoy His Christmas Din
ner Today.

Chicago, December 24.-With an
income which is fast approaching
$4,000 a week and stomach ravag-
ed with dyspepsia. the condition of
George Adel humorist, playwright,
newspaper man, bears a remarkable
similarity to that other unfortunate
celebrity, John d. Rockefeller.
When he arrived in Chicago from
New York Friday he \presented a
most forlorn appearance.
Welcomed home by his friends, he
smiled wanly. Pressed for the rea-
sons, he said:
"Oh, it's all right, boys. They
say l am successful, but | don't be-
lieve they know what success is.
"You notice my thinness? Well,
I'll tell you. I'm off my feed. I've
been fasting for nine days. Real
fasting, you know. I don't take any
nourishment excepting a little hot
water when get up in the morning.
"The doctors said this was the
only way to cure my dyspepsia. It's
a pretty prospect, isn't it? Sun
days Christmas and I can't eat any
turkey and cranberries. I can't eat
anything. What's the use of $4,000
per week?'

A Heavy Rain.

A heavy rainfall took place early
this morning. The sounds reminded
one of early spring as the crash of
thunder could be heard and then the
rain poured down in torrents. The
fall continued at intervals the great
er part of the early morning.

The Richmond Champs got it last
night at the Coliseum. where Little
Willie wears his sailor collar. Mum
Gle did it. Sad but true Phil Jason
. was on the rush line for the visitors
in place of the contract jumper, Ed
die Higgins, and his playing was a
revelation. The fans who saw the
game forgot that such a person as
Higgins ever existed. When Jason
made his first goal the crowd, 1,15O
strong, gave him a regular ovation.
The game was fast, interesting
and entertaining. Richmond's de-
Tense was a little off color, especially
Doherty, but Notwithstanding, the
only reason that Richmond was de-
feated was because of the wonderful
playing of the Petty outfit. Holder
ness was barrier that could not be
passed and eastman at goal played
a star game, though he had more
than his share of luck. especially in
the last period, when Cunningham,
jr, and Bone put four balls into the
cage only to have them roll out
again. Hart and Jason worked to-
gether like a pair of veteran pillow
horses and the exhibition of driving
the two great rushers gave has sell
dom been equaled on a local floor.
Bone played his usal good game and
succeeded in scoring three out of the
four goals made by the locals.
Richmond started in the first per-
iod like three time winners, scoring
twice in rapid succession Muncie
then rallied and Jason showed a tai
ly in standing three feet in front of
the Richmond cage. Forty-eight sec
onds later Hart sent liner into the
draperiess and the score stood a tie.
Three minutes after this Jason reg
istered again On lucky drive, the
ball glancing off Doherty's pads into
the cage. Forty-nine seconds later
Jason scored again on pass off
Hart between Doherty's legs. The
last score Of the period was made by
Bone on beautiful angle shot.
At the beginning of the second
period the score stood to in Mum
Gle favor. One minute and half
after the start of play Farrell tai
lied on an angle shot. Then Hart
drove in liner. After this goal
the prettiest play of the game was
made. Bone took the ball from be-
hind his own cage, flew up the floor,
hurdeling Farrell and side-stepping
Holderness, then he drew eastman
out and tossed the ball into the dra-
peries. The play was greeted by an
outburst of applause. Jason ending
the scoring in the second period by
tallying on a pass of Farell's. This
score was also the last one made by
either team during the game, not
prapery being disturbed in the third
period. Richmond made gallant
effort to win out in this period, but
to no avail.

SHADE TREES.

Last winter the Enterprise
inaugurated a veritable shade
tree campaign. The council and
many citizens set out hundreds
of sycamores, elms and oaks and
a few nut trees, but the drouth
was against us. and most of the
trees died early in the spring
Of course this will have a dis
couraging influence the coming
season, but we hope the effect of
last seasons failure will be over

tent that we may have many
more trees set out this winter
than last.

Yes, the Enterprise is in favor
of sewers. A sewerage system,
and that is the main reason why we
oppose the proposed bond issue.
Forty thousand dollars would be
within two thousand dollars of the
city's credit limit and it would
probably be several years before
we would be in position to issue
a sufficient amount of sewer
bonds to give US able and
serviceable system. In the mean
time the scavenger service would
be as necessary as it. is now and
would cost almost as much. Then
The reasonable thing to do (for
the man who favors sewers to
o il to wait until it is possible

1plete system. By this means

nmissioner of Agriculture
Stevens, who has been
ying the cotton situation in
Southern states very careful
for the past few months, and
so has been in constant cores
5ndence with the agricultural
commissioners of other states.
announced Tuesday that his es-
innate of this years cotton crop
was II, 421, 900 bales, an increase
Of more than a million bales over
last year. The entire output
last year was 1O,0ss, 900.
Mr.. Stevens is one one of the
best posted men in the country
on the cotton situation, and his
estimates of the crop each year
are nearly always correct. In
fact, he seldom misses his pre-
diction.
Numerous predictions have
been made in the past few months
by various people, and Mr.. Stew
ems prediction will be read with
great interest.

We usually call attention 10
announcements that appear ID
the Enterprise.
Last Saturday, just as we
we're closing the forms, we were
handed the announcement OF
Col. E. Wall, for the office OF
Observation-Disclosures Col. Wall
is we'll known to the people OF
this community, and his know:
ledge of the law, gained in eight
or ten years practice. will, his
friends insist, be of great benefit
in disposing of the matters that
usually come before the Justice
in this district.
They argue that precisely the
same reasons exist for the Sc
lection of a lawyer to fill he office
of Observation-Disclosures, as the
man who is selected as a Judge
of the Superior Court but, OF
course, to a comparatively small
err degree.
That the law docs not recog-
nize this requirement, is for the
very good reason that in a ma
iority of instances it il imprac-
ticab1e, or indeed impossible, to
find a lawyer for the place. But
that in an important district,
where there is larger business,
when opportunity offers to secure
the services of competent and
worthy attorney, it is altogether
reasonable and right for the peo-
pie to avail themselves of the op'
portunity.
Judge Harvey has made a very
satisfactory officer, and it is
probable that the contest will be
close.

The Enterprise has for a long
time considered Rev. Sam Jones
one of the brainiest and most
brilliant of southern men, and
we have often quoted him 10
these columns on matters of
politics much to the apparent dis
gust of a mum Der Of our Brya lis
tic contemporaries. Now that the
Rev. Jones apparently realizes
that Mr.. Bryan is the logical
head of the great democratic
party these same anti Jones pa
pers are quoting the enimitable
preacher.
Mr.. Jones says of Mr.. Bryan:
This election seems to have
demonstrated that democracy
does not stand for conservatism
and partnership with eastern
plutocracy and mointed aristoc-
racy. Mr.. Bryan is today the
EN- bodiment of the principles,
and also the leader of the senti-
ments. which genuine democra.
cy will ever champion, and on
which they must win if victory
ever comes to them again in ma
tional politics. He is the great
com moner, the Gladstone of
America, and stands easily the
leading champion of the people.
Against everything that tends to
undermine good government and
for everything that means liber-
ty, and the pursuit of happiness.
If Mr.. Bryan shall wisely make
the issues and faithfully advocate
the principles of true democracy
unswerved by capital and unem-
barrassed by populistic theories,
then he will in the next four
years either put himself in posi-
ton to capture the presidency or
else he will be in position to pick
the winner, and if he is the patri-
OF l now believe him TO be, he
would as DON pick the winner as
to win the prize for himself"
