Inquiry developed the fact that Will

Smokes Will Enter Game to
Mar Perfect Percentage of
Seeders.
Smokes VS.. A. S. M.
QuiQleys VS.. Greeks.

Get the seeders,' will be the cry
of the Smokes tonight when the Rich
mond Polo league plays this weeks
games instead of Friday because of
Muncie being brought here for the
New Years date. The Seeders with
perfect percentage up to date will go
in the game tonight with no intention
Of letting the Smokes break it up and
will play their hardest.
The Smokes want this game badly
because it would bring them within
one game Of the top. The Greeks and
Quigleys will try conclusions in the
second game and this too should be a
bang up affair The Pharmacists with
a strengthened lineup will make them
all sit up and take notice from now ON
and are expecting to take the game
tonight for starter. The Greeks
claim they have some right for an
argument on this point however and
will make them go some to turn the
trick First game called at 7:45.

established a new worlds record for
the event.
With the exception of the victory of
Freddie Welsh in the lightweight
division no boxing titles changed

SANE OLD STORY

The atter1pt made on the part OF
Akron, o., unionists to amend an or
dinance 10 guarantee a Jury trial to
persons arrested on a riot charge has
failed. Under an ordinance forced!
through the City Council last year at
the behest Of Big Business a Police
Judge can tine an individual accused
of engaging in or melting to riot $500
or imprisonment from two to three
years. The amendment permitting \
trial by jur;f was carried on the irst
reading, bit finally defeated, 6 to S.
Democrats and Republicans voted al
most solidly against the amendment,
which was supported by the four So
cialist members. and Democratic
molder. When Mayor Rockwell was
asked to vote for the ordinance he
declined and advised the workers to
elect their oxn Police Judge and they
will probably take his advice.
