not be able to start unless these three
laggards are paid up in time for the
beginning of extensive preparations.
Its hard to conduct a regular
league these days. said Smith Satur-
day morning What with the Feds
soaring the majors 10 death and the
majors spending all their money to
fight the Feds there isn't a whole
lot of money even in well-attended
league. Where one player is worth
at least $4,000 to a big league. they
are afraid to pay more than a third
of that for fear that the Feds will
want to cop him off. The only thing
/ can see that would clear up the
situation is for the Feds and the other
big leagues to come to some sort of
understanding. Peace is the best
tonic in the world Cor sick baseball"

FIRE DESTROYS HIGH
SCHOOL At LAGRO
Building Valued at $4,000 is
Burned to Ground-OnIy
$4,000 Insurance.

HUNTINGTON, Dec. I9.-The big
combined high school and grade
building at Lagro was destroy
ed Friday by fire.
The school was built only two years
ago at cost of S45. 600. only $4,000
insurance was carried on the building.
A pumping station at the side of
the building was the origin OF the fire.
About O'Clock Friday morning
flames were seen in this building, but
before it could be checked it had
spread 10 the big school building, and
in comparatively short time the
whole building was in ruins
Water pipes lead from the pump
ing station To the main building, the
station being only a few feet from
the big building. To prevent the pipes
from freezing during the zero weather
an oil stove and a lantern were kept
burning in the pumping station. and it
is believed the fire started from one
of these.
The building was built by the town
and township by Truste Purviance.
and was one of the most modern
schools in Wabash county.
school will be held in the Masonic
building and in a church for the re-
mainder of the year, that is. until
next summer. The town hall at Lagro
is not large enough 10 seat many of

NJ LOUGHL|N IS
BEST TENNIS MAN
Ranking Committee Puts Him
Ahead of All 0therS-0ear
Old Casino Will Be Deserted
Next Year.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-Maurice
Mclaughlin of California, the hero Of
the Davis cup matches and undues-
tionably the greatest lawn-tennis play
er OF all times, was rated number 1
by the ranking committee OF the
United states National lawn tennis
committee Friday. subsequently the
work of this committee was ratified
Dy the executive committee OF the Ma
tional body
Both committees met at the Wal
dorf Astoria and engaged in a lengthy
session. only one member of the ex-
ecutlVe committee favored putting
Richard Norris Williams ahead of
Mclaughlin, and based his opposition
to the time honored custom Of plac-
ing the winner OF the American cham
plonship at Newport at the top of the
list. In the championship, Williams
defeated McLOughlin.
Recently the English lawn tennis
association, which rates the players Of
the world, put Mclaughlin at number
l, While Williams got no better than
number D. 1t was a high honor for
Mclaughlin and the incident is not
able as it is the first time an American
has been rated number on both sides
of the Atlantic. At Fridays conclave
Williams was rightfully placed at No.
Whether or not America should
challenge for the Davis cup next year
came up for discussion. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that a conditional
challenge would not be out of place
and that the final recommendation be
made by the executive committee on
the morning before the meet
From what transpired at the meet
ing. the west side tennis club will
make bold bid to surprise national
champions for the forest hills courts
next year and the dear old casino"
at Newport, where many memorable
battles have been fought will be de-
serted.
The west siders. however. may meet
with some disappointment, but they
are good fighters, and Will not give
up until February. The west side club
politicians caused the challenge round
to be abolished and if they fight as
automatically to capture the cham
pionship fixture, they will surely bring
it TO the city
The various committees reported TO
the executive committee. the commit
tee on lawn tennis balls favOring either
of two plans. one is that a universal
ball be adopted and played by all
challenging countries for the Davis
cup matches; the other that there be
a vote of the different countries to
use their own balls whenever the pre-
liminary ties and challenge round hap
pened to be played

then came back and took the often
sive in the second, outplaying La

first period stood 33 10 :, while the
locals made 10 to LapOrte's > in the
second. The Mishawaka team was
without the services of PeltOn, who
was injured earlier in the week.
Kohler started in his place but he
had not fully recovered from his in
jury of last Friday and was unable to
handle the ball. Branstretter, a for
ward, went in the guard position and
covered himself with glory. Seifert
and Bussert were the stars for the
locals Bussert played his usual
lighting game throughout while ST
opened up the second half and gath
cred five baskets to his one of the
previous period. Wilcox, center for
LapOrte, made eight goals the first
half, which aroused Burnett's ire to
the extent that he kept his opponent
from scoring during the second half.
