The quoted value of the money of

has the real cash, but it is worth
more on account of the war.

FALL FESTIVAL PLAN
CONTINUES TO SLEEP
New Advertising Committee
May Revive Elaborate
Boosting Program.

No desire is being shown this year
for a fall festival, E. NJ. Haas, secre-
tary of the Commercial club said to-
day.
When the fall festival was dropped
last year, it was expected that one
would be held in October 1915. There
has been no demand. This situation
may be altered by the appointment
of a new advertising committee which
will be announced Monday night.
This fall festival plan was brought
up by the appearance of a member Of
the Muncie Commercial club yester-
day, seeking information on Rich
mond's plan Of conducting fall festi-
walls.
The members said the success Of
the Richmond fall festival in past
years is matter Of common belief in
Muncie and the Muncie club wants
to pattern after the Richmond plan.

M|[LSAPS DEFEATED BY MARION SCHOOL Ward Is Hit Hard-Bril- liant Pitching of Hicks

Marion, April 23.-(Special) )-F'lushed Alabama, Ward, the star twirler of Mill sapps college, went down to defeat with his team mates this afternoon before the fierce hitting of the Marion institute bat ters.
 The features of the game were the home run of Frierson, Marion's speedy centerfieder; the catching and hitting of Quarles and the brilliant pitching of Hicks. who struck out eight batters and was given superb support by his team mates in an errorless game. Marion field was crowded with automobiles from ad- joining towns and the largest crowd Of the season was out to see the Mississippi champions.
 The game was thrilling from start to finish and again and again the spectators plays.
 For the visitors Ward carried off the honors, but he was hit when hits meant runs. Summers, the Mississippi third baseman, made a brilliant line catch, which brought the spectators to their feet with cheers. The Missssipians field in many years and baseball fans are disappointed that only one game could be had with the visitors

DIAMOND SPARKS

Charlie Carroll returns to the ini- tial bag.
 As for Coombs returning to second there is hardly a chance while Dan nie Clark is cavorting in his present style. Incidently Clark is slamming the ball nearly as hard as Coombs, and is proving a distinct surprise as a hitter.
 One characteristic thing about Roy Ellam is that either fans or hits out triple or home run. Yesterday aft ernoon Roy got triple.
 Edson Hemingway made beautiful stop of Tullos' drive in the seventh inning, but threw hurriedly to Coombs and the runner was safe. This was IIemingway's only pebble out of diff fiCult chances and was excusable. Hemmie's timely single in the first scored two runs and he scored him. self by daring base running.
 
 Hemingway is playing the kind of ball that will shortened his stay in the Southern league-it looks like a return to the majors for the former Vol.
 
 On the whole the Barons look like a well balanced team at the present time. The hole at second has been blocked for the time being and out side of the disappointing showing of the old pitchers the fans can rest satisfied. as we have a good team. We may not win the pennant, but who ever wins it will know that the Barons have been in the race.
 One positive fact-the Barons are a walloping crew.
 The fans can forgive many things to a hitting team so the Barons need not worry over a few boots-just get in the juicy bingles and the enconiums of the masses are assured. Applause follows the swatter.
 President ". D. smith announced yesterday the proposed erection of new score board to register the doings of the National and American leagues. It is a good idea, MT. Smith, and will be pleasing to the fans.

 Arthur Johnson is slated for his third trial on the mound this aft ernoon. We wish Arthur all the luck in the world, and we rather think he needs it.
 Odd, isn't it. that after spend ing a month in Orlando, Fla, with fair weather the faltering Baron pitchers are putting forth the old alibi Of when the sun gets hot the old soup bone will be in form? Grimes and Robertson are not talk ing much about the heat of the sun or the air for that matter, but they are winning ball games.
 Yesterday afternoon Robertson pitched in mid season form. There was no reason in the world why he shouldn't pitch that way. Rob bic has been busy getting in condi ton for upward of six weeks and the fact that he is winning his games merely proves that he got in condition.
 This column does not intend to knock the veteran hurlers of the Baronial staff but simply to rid icule their alibis. If the old pitch CTS haven't got the stuff this sea son, what's the use of blaming the sun for it? Why not try the moon for a change?
