THE NINTH DISTRICT.

Mr.. w. S. Copeland. of the Rich
mond News-Leader. has been inves-
tigating political conditions in the
ninth congressional district OF Vir.
ginia. Mr.. Copeland was, before his
recent connection with the News.
Leader. on the editorial stan of the
Richmond Times-Dispatch and is n
writer of recognized ability.
He is telling the people something
OF things political in the Ninth. He
estimates that a large per cent. of
the Republican votes is purchasable.
That while victory comes high. the
patronage held by the leaders in the
Ninth enables them to lay SUFFICIENT
tribute upon the party in the state
to keep them intrenched; that n
large per cent. of the poll tax OF
Republican voters is paid by the
party which holds the federal pa.
tronage in its hand.
The Ninth district is we'll orga-
nized. Its leaders neglect the bal.
ance of the state to keep themselves
lntrenched in power. No office
holder in Virginia hopes for sue.
cess who does not bow the knee TO
this Baal worship.
The Virginia election law requires
that poll taxes be paid six months in
advance of the election, and prohib-
It's its payment by any party or can
didate. But this law is merely
winked at. The organization must
be held intact The assessments
levied upon federal office-holders
soon fill the Golfers of the machine.
and the pollution of the ballot box
goes merrily on.
Mr.. Copeland says the Ninth dis.
trict can be redeemed. II is nor
mally Democratic. If the payment
of poll taxes for floating voters be
prohibited the Republican majority
can be wiped out.

Every man to his trade" is an
old adage and Is familiar TO nearly
all OF us. It is brief in its wording
but conveys a great deal in its mean
ing. IL Is merely terse way Of
saying that a man who makes a spe-
cialty OF any one thing knows more
about, and Is more proficient in his
particular speciality than any one
else could be. 10 is for this reason
that we all seek a specialist when
we have any serious physical all
ment. It Is for the same reason that
The Rydale Remedy Co. went TO one
OF the best specialists i'm the United

Assurance That League

manager of the Piqua team of the
10 league states that he daily receives
communications from President Gam
BILE of Van Vert telling him not to
become uneasy in regard to the league.
as everything is moving along as nice
ly as can be expected, and that in all
probability Anderson and Muncie will
be signed up in a short time.
The league must have three Sunday
ball towns, and it is impossible to
Sunday ball can be played at Ander-
son, but in all probability it will
be permitted.
Manager Sank states that he has
received at least fifty letters from base
ball players from ali parts of the
country. He also states that he can
get a good team together III this city
inside of two weeks when the time
comes and none of the men will be
signed up until the proper time ar
rives.
The new league has excellent pros
poets for the coming season, and no
doubt Piqua will see some fast ball.
Not much can be done until the
weather warns up, and then work
will be pushed in the league. and when
the season opens Piqua will be there
with the goods.

HUNTINGTON is WILLING.
IN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE CIRCUIT FORMAL APPLi-
CATION WAS MADE-INDIANA
NORTHERN A DEAD ONE.
(By Tort.)

President Frank Gamble of the 10.
league telephoned to the Palladium
yesterday afternoon news which will
be glad tidings to the local fans. The
substance Of Mr.. CANDLES converse
tion can be summed up in very few
words-'"The formation of the 10.
league has been completed
With four towns in the organization
assured-Richmond, Van Vert, Piqua
and Anderson-and Muncie on the
doubtful list, the promoters of the
league have been busy for two towns
which can positively be counted upon
TO round out the circuit. Yesterday
Mr.. Gamble received a letter from the
manager of the Huntington, Indiana,
team stating that a stock company
had been organized there 10 put club
in the field and that already the club
had lines out for players. He also
stated that Kokomo could be counted
on to have fast team this year. The
Huntington manager concluded his let
ter by making formal application for
a franchise in the 10. league and
stated that, if invited to do so, the
management of the KokOmo team
would come into the organization.
Gamble to Huntington.
Mr.. Gamble says that he will go to
Huntington next Wednesday and
while there he will formally tender
All 10. league franchise to the Hunt
ington management. Mr.. Gamble will
also meet with the representatives of
the Kokomo club while in Huntington
and it is expected that this club will
then become affiliated with the 10.
league.
Runyan Cheeps.
Friday Manager Jessup received a
letter from Frank Runyan of Bluffton
stating that he thought it more than
probable that Huntington and kokomo
would join the 10. league, as it was
an assured fact that the Northern In-
diana league was a dead one. Runyan
concluded his letter with the state
ment that there would probably be no
baseball In Button this year.
Towns Proposed.
Huntington is a prosperous little
city of 10000 inhabitants and has al
ways been an excellent base ball town.
Kokomo has population of about A.
900 and last year was one of the best
base ball towns in the 10. league,
the Sunday attendance being particul-
arly good.

GOOD BUNCH OF
BASEBALL MEN
Coach Vail of EarIham Has All
Of Last Years Men and
Many New Ones.
THE PROBABLE SCHEDULE.
QUAkERS WILL MEET NEARLY
ALL OF THE STRONG SECOND
AIRY COLLEGE TEAMS OF IND
lana AND OHIO THIS YEAR.

The prospects for winning base
ball team and a good schedule are
very bright at Earlham this year.
Nearly all of the last years men are
in school and Coach Vail will have a
good bunch of the energetic fresh
men TO pick from. Conrad has shown
his prowess as an athlete and there
are several who will trot along in the
same class with a little training. The
diamond in Reid field is drying nicely
and practice out of doors will be start
ed next week if the weather still per-
mits.
Schedule Almost Done.
Manager John Heaton has the sche-
dule of games almost completed and
has been successful in securing a
number of goN teams to play here on
Reid field. In addition to the regular
inter collegiate schedule, Manager
Jessup of the Richmond team has con-
scented to take the Richmond bunch
out to Earlham for a few practice
games and some lively scrimmages
may be expected. In game between
Richmond and the Earlham team last
year the Quakers outplayed the pro-
fessionals and beat them 4 to ..
In fact the only two games Earlham
was able to play last year at home, on
account of the wet weather were sue
cessful to the Quakers. The probable
lineup of the team will be as follows:
White p; Harrell( capt. C; Lindley,
lib; r. Stanley. 2b; Chambers, 3b;
Hancock, SIS; Elliott, IF; Conrad. CT:
Furnas. If.
The probable schedule is as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
HAS MADE RECORD
Has Won Twelve of the TWen-
ty Games Played This
Season.
WILL LOSE TWO MEN.
ALL OTHERS WILL FORM A NU-
cLEUs FOR GOOD TEAM NEXT
YEAR-REcoRDS AND SCORES
OF LOCAL AGGREGATION.

After one of the most successful
seasons in the history OF the high
school, the Richmond basket ball
team of the season 1907 and 1908 will
disband, having made quite a record
for itself. The high school team this
year was composed of Juniors and
Seniors and was the fastest team that
has ever represented the high school.
During the season the team played
twenty games, winning twelve and los
ing eight. 1t was one of the hardest
basket ball schedules that has ever
been played by the high school team.
The schedule contained dates with the
fast Varsity club basket ball team of
Dayton, the fast Steele high school
team, Rushyille and Anderson.
The high school basket ball team
scored 521 points and their opponents
407, giving the local team a total of
ia points over that of their Oppon-
ents.
The team this year was composed
of Thornburg, forward; Harrington,
center and forward; Marlatt, guard
and center; Allison, forward and
guard; Tallant, guard; Grove, guard;
Fisher, guard; Smith, forward; True
blood, forward; and Ferling, guard.
All of these men, with the exception
Of Tallant and Fisher, will be on the
team next year. These two leave
school in June. Next season will make
their second, and the men remaining
ought to be able to make things inter
esting for the other high schools of
the state.
During the last few games the To-
cal team has been playing a remarka-
bly, fast game and would make the
best of the high school teams in the
state hustle to keep pace and this in
cludes the Darlington high school,
which claims the state high school
championship.
The only thing against the high
school basket ball team is that it is
S10.1O in debt. The manager, Robert
Thornburg, hopes to be able to pay off
this as soon as the Alpha Mu kappas
come to the rescue and they have con-
scented to give candy sale at the
high school in the near future.
1t is probable the high school bas-
ket ball team will play the fast high
school teams of Milton, Cambridge
City and Centerville before disband-
ing. The summary of the games
played by the team this season is as
