EATON, O., Jan. 31-The 1ndepend-
ent basketball team of this place was
defeated by the Richmond Y. M. T. A.
at the Armory last night ~ to o.
The locals were Outclassed IN ev-
cry department of the game, the
Wayne county outfit scoring almost at
will. The winners opened up with a
rush, caging a pair of baskets before
the Preble county men had gotten
their bearings. The local five fought
hard but in spite of their efforts the
score stood "a to 0 before the Eaton
boys broke into the score sheet
Parker and Caster made the best
showing for the MINERS with 26 and
rs points, respectively. Duning at cen
ter assisted materially, feeding the
"Y'' forwards with sure passes. The
guarding of Schepman and Brunton
proved to be so close that the local
lads had but few shots at the basket.
Wykle and Cline played good games
for the losers.

FOUR TEAMS TIE
IN NEW LEAGUE
RICHMOND LEAGUE,

A double tie exists in the Richmond
League, a recently started bowling or
ganization composed of four teams,
as the result of last nights bowling
between the Millers and the Reds. The
Millers took the first and last game
while the reds had a margin of more
than hundred pins in the second
game.
The third game resulted in a tie
both teams securing 66S pins. The
teams rolled off the tie, each man roll
ing single ball, with the result that
the Millers Out-bowled their opponents
by ten pins. While the scores were not
extremely high it is due to the fact
that many of the men are just learn
ing the game. Butler, of the Reds,
drew high score at 176 demolished
pins.
The summary Of the games is as
follows.

INDIANA CR|PPLES
DEFEAT EARLHAM
State School Team Takes
Basketball Game, Score
% to Is.
PLAY HOTLY FOUGHT
INDIANA %, EARLHAM Is.

The pleadings of a thousand fren-
zied rooters and the blare of brass
band failed to overcome three point
lead held by the Indiana basketball
five last night, when the Yellow and
White of the Earlham bowed to the
Crimson of I. U. in one of the most
holly contested games ever staged on
the Coliseum floor; the final count
standing 1925. in favor of the State
Institution men.
Indiana made the initial score on a
fluke shot by Frenzel, who moment
later broke into the limelight again
with a foul and another basket, max
ing the Crimson score a total of five
points to blank for the locals.
Wolfe gave the Quaker hackers their
first cause for noise when he dropped
a foul throw through the hoop. A few
seconds later Kemper, center of the
local aggregation, caused joy by shoot
ing a perfect basket. A basket by
Rowe, followed a minute later by an
other from Kcmper, gave the Quakers
a lead which they held until the close
of the half. Score: Earlham II, Indi-
ana II.
Indiana Evens Up.
Indiana evened up things before the
second half had progressed far; after
this however, the local men seemed 70
get the advantage of the State outfit,
at one time having a 5 point lead,
which local supporters thought lmpos-
sible to overcome.
At his point of the battle Coach
Berndt sent in Prather, husky for
ward to replace Ferguson, who had
lost a greater part of his jersey by
the over enthusiastic efforts of guard
Ross Williams. The advent of Prather
seemed to instll new life into the
ranks of the Crimson crew, the down
staters opening up an attack so bril-
liant that the lead of the Earlham
bunch was soon overcome and passed.
Earlham rooters at this point be-
came frantic in their pleadings for
the Yellow and White to tie the score.
Largely because of the splendid de-
Tense offered by kirkpatrick and Whit
taker of the State machine, the Grim
son retained their lead, despite the
desperate efforts Of the Quaksrs.
Hold Lead.
Just before the final whistle KEN
per trapped a field, cutting down the
Staters lead to 3 points, but before the
Quaker machine could score again the
whistle blew, ending to what, in the
estimation of some $500 fans was the
classiest collegiate battle ever witness
ed on the local floor.
For the winners Frenzel. Kirkpat-
rick and Whitaker deserve the most
credit although Gilbert and Prather
showed fine form. No one in particular
starred for the Yellow and White, the
whole team playing equally we'll, Wolfe
leading the point getting with total
of g.

British Saved Belgian
Army at Antwerp, Says
Sir John French, in Report

LONDON. Dec. 5.-The official bu-
reau issued last night a message from
Sir John French, covering a dispatch
from General Arch bald Paris, conf
mander of the naval brigade which
was sent to Antwerp in October.
General French asserts that General
Paris handled the operations with
great skill and boldness. He says:
Although the results did not in
clude the actual saving of the fortress
the action of the force certainly de-
layed the enemy for a considerable
time and assisted the Belgian army
10 withdraw in a condition that en-
abled 1t TO reorganize, reft and re-
gain its value as a fighting force.
The destruction of war material and
ammunition. which but for the in
tervention of this force would have
proved of great value to the enemy,
was thus able to be carried out. The
assistance which the Belgian army
rendered in subsequent operations
has been valuable asset of the al
He'd cause, and such help must be
vention of General Par'ss force Fur
thernore. the moral effect produ ~ed
on the Belgian army by this neces-
sarily desperate attempt to bring
them succor before ii was too late
has been Of great value to their eff
cheney as a fighting force"

nitely that he would not preside at

papers as having called the American
flag a rag" and the congressman
called the matter to the attention of
the committee, with the request that
the ]. w. w. man explain.

notified Larkin that il his speech had
been reported with substantial cor
rectness, his presence on the platform
at the academy meeting Sunday nigh
would not be tolerated The agitatoI
declared emphatically that he had
been misquoted, and gave expression
to the highest regard and admiration
of the American flag and the Amer

Report Kaiser's Sons Escaped
Only by Flight in Aeroplane

LONDON, Dec. Sin the recent
fighting in the region between the
Warta and Yistula rivers, says a
dispatch from Petrograd to the Morn
ing Post, Prince Oscar and Prince
Joachim, sons of the German emperor,
are reported to have escaped only by
taking flight in an aeroplane.
The message refers to the delay in
the arrival of Russian reinforcements,
which enabled the Germans to break
through the surrounding ring, ana
adds:
"As It was large number of Ger
mans got out of the trap, and the
subsequent fighting has been a
curious tactical spectacle, with the
Russians and Germans IN alternate
strips covering considerable area.
The Germans have alternated furious
attacks with retreat fighting, and the
information vouchsafed Is sufficient
to show how final success can be at
tained."

T FAIL TO IDENTIFY
SLAIN GUNMAN
Toledo Police Baffled by Case
of Man Killed by Saloon
keepers Wife.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 5.-The iden-
fity Of the gunman who was killed in
the home OF Harry c. Piummer
Thursday night remains a mystery,
the police having exhausted every
means tracing the mans movements
leading up to the attack on Plum
ner. a former Louisville saloon
keeper.
A ray of hope was had yesterday
In the finding of the name of John d.
I.arkin. il. of Buffalo, n. Y, sewed
inside the waistband Of the trousers
which the dead man wore. It was
thought this would serve rs a means
of identification, but 1t developed dur
ing the night that the clothing was
part Of loot stolen in a Buffalo
suburb.
Unless the body Is claimed by rela-
tives or friends within the next forty
eight hours it will occupy an un-
marked grave in one of the city's
cemeteries.
Plummer, in a dangerous condition
In a hospital, maintains he knew the
men in Louisville but cannot remem-
ber their names. There were four of
them. The other three are at large
despite the fact that a dragnet has
been spread over the city.
The police are convinced the men
came from the underworld of Louis
eille TO wreak vengeance on Plummer,
whose saloon was in the tenderloin
district. Word received here last
night was TO the effect that Plummer
had had considerable trouble with
4he rough element of the Kentucky
city. Since Thursday night nearly
one hundred suspicious characters
have been arrested by the police.
Chief of Police George Murphey Fri
day declared war on the Toledo
crooks.
THE crooks must CO. said he. Il
viii reorganize this police force into
IN army to fight the men who have
been robhing and numbering the citi-
zens of Toledo. All rooming houses.
saloons, hotels or other places where
crooks are harbored will be rawhided
out of business. Any member of the
force or other employees of the city
who know these men and harbor them
arc worse than the crooks themselves
and will be treated accordingly. To-
le1o will no longer be a soft nest for
criminals as 1t has been for many
years."

COMMISSION TALKS
OVER SEWAGE PLAN
New Orange Board Considers
Question, but Makes No
Decision.

AT a conference of Orange commits
sioners last night the problem of de-
Gliding which way the city will go in
the future in the matter of a sewer
age disposal system, was thoroughly
aired, and while no decision was
reached by the five men, announce
ment was made, following the session
that the commission will decide next
month upon a course of action. City
Engineer Fred T. Crane was q mem
Der of the official group for half an
hour, explaining plans of the Pas
sale Valley flume and OF the Inhoff
system No vote was taken upon the
merits of the rival plans, but 1t was
an impression OF the officials that if
Orange should decide to enter the
Passaic flume, the othesr communi-
ties interested in the big draining sys-
TEN would permit the suburban city
to do SO.
While no outsiders were present at
the meeting which was called to dis
cuss information, Commissioner Will
lam A. Calhoun, who was active as
a member of the advisory sewerage
body. which aided the old Common
Council in reaching a decision favor
able to an Imhoff system, is thorough
ly familiar with the Views of the citi-
zen DOuy. lie is one OF Inc DeSt
posted men on sewerage disposal in
the city and has ben an avowed sup
porter of the Imhoff system as the
best solution of Oranges difficulties
His views are expected to have weight
in the discussions in the future.
The members adjo rned to have
second private conference in a short
time and action will be authorized on
one or the other of the two schemes
the first of the new year.
Orange has been urged to join with
East Orange and Montclair in an In
dependent disposal system. The three
municipalities have not been active in
discussing the proposition of a joint
system. and on Oranges decision as
to her future action will rest the prob
able fate of the Independent munici-
pal plant that has been urged.

ITALY READY TO ENTER WAR
IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS
People Now Understand That Government Held Aoot Because
of MISREPRESENTATION Can Now Call on 315o,ooo
Men-Equipment for Al-Navy Modified

addition to the energetic preparations
now about complete, to the eagerness
of the people and to the menacing at
titude of Turkey, the recall of veteran
troops from Tripoh, the building of
huts for soldiers and defense works
along the Austrian frontier and the
activity of American consulates fur
nish further indications of the trend
of events.
The American consulates are pre-
pairing lists Of all the Americans in
their districts, so that il Italy goes
to war the relatives and friends of
these persons could be notified at
once of their whereabouts and safety.
If the question is asked, Why
should Italy plunge into the war after
four months of successful neutrality?
I can only give the answer that would
be instantly on the lips of every
Italian, privately even of those
statesmen who must publicly depre-
cate the war spirit. That answer is
that the entrance of Turkey into the
war as an ally of Germany and Aus
tria is gravely threatening Italys
cole nies in Africa and in the Red Sea.
Turkish and German agents are
stirring the Trlpoli tribesmen to re-
volt; Turkey is bent on Selling, pos
sib V closing, the Suez canal. which is
almost as vital to Italy as to Eng
land.
Back of this lies 1talys future in
the Adriatic. Unless she helps the
allies she cannot hope for great con-
siderati0n when peace is made. Trent
will be hers if she fights. Her oppor-
tunity is at hand to control the
Adriatie and restore to citizenship
masses of Italians now under the
Austrian flag. She has occupied the
Island of Saseno. which commands
Av,ona, and thereby the neck OF the
Adriatic.
Further. there is the realization
that Germany and Austria will never
forgive her for refusing to fight on
their side, and that Italian safety
means the defeat of the Germanic
powers.
Unless all signs are wrong, there
will be a f1rmer, sharper note in
Italian policy after December Is.

Maps Found on Dead Officers
Said to Show Germans Would
Violate Swiss Neutrality
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. Dec. 5.--Proof that viola
ton of the neutrality of Switzerland
was included in Germany's original
plans has been found, says the Matin,
in the shape of ordnance survey
maps discovered among the papers
on dead German officers.
The maps are similar to those used
by Swiss officers, the Matin says,
except that all the names are In
Italian, and information Of a special
nature printed on them shows they
were intended for the use of an
Italian army marching across
Switzerland to attack France.
