spinney Enters Protest.
John kid" Spinney who remember
ed the days when Billy Earle brought
fame to Richmond Entire Nous stated
that it was time to clean up baseball
for the amateurs and that he believed
the X. I. o. was the proper medium to
do the work. He objected very strong
ly to the practice Of sporting goods
houses of holding up managers for
booking games.
Dick Kenny, manager of the local
team, stated that crooked work had
taken his third baseman from him and
for that reason he was for the K. I. o.
heart and soul and that only teams
from Cincinnati belonging to the or
SANITATION would be booked in Rich
mond.
Five parks are controlled by the
league in Cincinnati: Elmwood, Price
Hill, Covington, Delhi and Weihes and
you can place this in your hat gentle
men that only K. l. o. teams will show
in these parks" stated the president.
The next meeting of the league will
be held in Dayton, March IS, for the
purpose of organizing that end OF the
league Officers from Indiana. Ohio
and Kentucky will probably be elected
at that time.

Players from only three of the teams
which appeared here in the district
tournament of which New Castle was
declared winner were awarded places

Brookville men were recognized as

sitions. Three New Castle men were

At center Laning and Lawson stood
out as superior to all others. Both
outjumped their opponents, were &C.
curate in goal shooting, carried the
ball down the floor in good style and
were big obstacles In breaking up
plays. Lawson threw more field goals
than any other man in the tourney,
which gave him a shade 3over Laning.
The Richmond center while almost as
good as Lawson could not stand the
strain and slowed up during the second
half of the final game. English, the

ample Of this is the Connersville club,

who has always been a booster for
Rohrer's league, but who Topped into

proposition as it was always mis-
quoted to him by the few friends of
Rohrer's league but now that he had
attended a meeting Of the K. I. o. that
he was for the league heart and soul
and that only K. 1. o. teams out of

HIGH SCHOOL STARS
TO ENTER EARLHAM
Whiteside Lines Up Kampe,
Williams and Priest for
Next Fall.

Coach Whiteside of Earlham did q
little flirting with some Of the High
school stars in the basket ball tourney
Friday and Saturday and from their
expressions Earlham will be their
habitat next year.
Two of New Castles team members,
the Kampe brothers. have already
made preparations to attend Earlham
next year while 1t Is believed that
Williams, the husky guard, will also
enter. He is one of the best guards II
not the best that has ever shown in
Richmond on a high school team and
would make a valuable addition to
Earlham's squad. He is fast and
heavy enough to take care of himself
with any. Priest, the speedy forward
of the Brookville five, and Brown,
guard, both crackerjack players like
Earlham and If possible will enter next
fall. Priest would make a good foot
ball player as he Is extremely fast and
weighs In the neighborhood Of 175
pounds.
Ainsley Of Connersville, Ellsworth,
Rushville, and Smith of Thorntown
have all signified their desire of enter
Ing next year. Meyers of Cadiz, the
oIoA VI tudt CedIu, Will enter year art
er next. Whiteside also wants Ian
ing very badly
Earlham will cooperate more in
athletics with the high school next
year than ever before and with the
help and interest which the Coach
could 1nstill in the high school Ath-
letes proba bly, help not only the High
school but have a good chance of get
ting the High stars to enter Earlham
after graduation.

RACINE WANTS GAME

, Racine polo team wants to get back
into the polo game again and has
asked for booking here some time this
month promising a return date in
April. Their proposition is being given
consideration by the management of
the Coliseum and If proper arrange
ments can be made the fans will once
more get the opportunity Of seeing the
Wisconsin team in action. 1t has been
several years since the two cities have
held an argument on the polo floor
and no doubt interesting games should
result. If Mr.. Campbell Of the Muncie
five can be persuaded to take Racine
on for a game of two on the following
night the expenses would be fairly
reasonable.

Richpond's elimination from the
state basket ball championship on a
two-point margin was heart breaking
to almost two thousand supporters
who filled the Coliseum.
The fight displayed by the Red and
White during the first half was a sur.
prise both to New Castle and the fol-
lowers Of the team. During this peri
cd they outfought and outplayed their
opponents, SO the score stood IL to 5
in their favor when the gun was fired.
81 Team 1ombards Basket.
Had all the shots fallen through the
net during this half, New Castles rally
near the close of the game would have
held no terror for Richmond. Brown,
Laning and Porter bombarded the New
Castle basket repeatedly during the
half. The contrary ball would hit the
rim Of the basket, hesitate for an in
slant then, instead of falling inside,
drop into the hands Of some player.
Time after time the crowd came to it's
feet for a cheer as the ball hit the
basket, only to be disappointed when
it fell out.
For the first twenty minutes prac-
tically all the play was under the
Richmond goal, New Castle getting
only one field goal, because Of the
guarding Of Pitts and Bavis. The man
ner in which these two men worked to-
gether was sensational. They covered
their men all the time. Johanning,
who went in for Laning when the cen
ter who was slowing up. was injured,
played a scrappy game.
Lawson Breaks Loose.

.91.r fejd goals in this period were
f.on, apparently impossible angles.
Ouce with a Richmond player on his
back he tossed the bali over his head
for basket. Another time when he
backed against the railing he made a
cne-handed shot which went true.
This was agoniZing to Richmond
rcoters, who had seen just such shots
by their own players miss the basket
by hears breadths during the opening
session.
New Castles play during the last
period entitled them to the game as
they outpassed and outshot the locals,
who were considerably Weakened
when Laning slowed down.
Several times Porter, the little Ma
poleon, threatened to repeat his shots
which were the caus of Rushville' s
downfall in the afternoon, but luck
seemed against him. Lineup and

Only $4,000 Set Aside
to Pay Three, $4,000
Tax Commission Salaries
for Ext Two Years

Bismarck, n D., Mafe. S.-According to the
provision of the general budgr i the only measure
passing the legislature with tht ergency clause at
tached only $4,000 is appropratGs r salaries of tax
commissioners for the biennial period.
The bill repeals all laws and parts of laws in con-
ct with the budget bill, consequently there is only
$4,000 to pay three, $4,000 salaries for two years.
Attorneys state there is no way of getting be-
hind the records and getting money for salaries every
amount appropriated is for specified item the total
appropriation for the tax commission is little over
$4,000 which is about $4,000 less than was asked
for.
There is no opportunity of using the referendum
on this bill the emergency clause was attached III
conformity with the law
When the tax commission item was placed In the
budget, it fixed to carry single commissioner
expense about $4,000 less than the threeInan COM
mission requires.
The original provision was not changed when the
bill for single commissioner killed, and the gen.
eral budget law with its appropriation retained, was
carried without dissenting voice, both supporters
and opponents of the present tax commission voting
in favor of the measure.
The first salary account from the tax commission,
which calls for money beyond $600O directly appro
prated for that purpose presented it is certain to
cause court action, as there will be money In the
fund to care for such claim and hence the treasurer
and auditor will not be empowered to pay such claims
