man is a finely developed man. You
should see his arms. They are as
hard as steel and the funny part Of
it is he does very little athletic train
ing. But the reason is simple as he
owns 100 cows and milks them him
self. He is a real Scot, believe me.
Tom says that the reason why he
milks his cows is to keep his arms In
condition for hammer throwing"

AN OPPORTUNITYFOR
TRACTOR OWNERS
International Harvester Company Will
Hold Tractor Schools.

| OF all the machines farmer owns,
none is more important than his trac-
| tor. Especially is this true this year.
! Tractors must be in condition to work
| day and night if necessary to make
| possible the increased production of
food we need. There must be no de-
lays due to unsatisfactory operation,
no loss from misunderstanding.
To this end the International Har-
vester Company Of America proposes
! to hold tractor schools in various parts
Of the country in order that their
users may get the best possible serv.
ice out of their tractors.
One Of these schools will be held at
the office of the Harvester Company,
170-174 Fit. Wayne Avenue, Richmond.
January 20 and 80. The sessions will
open promptly at $50 a. m.
This school will be absolutely free
to all who care to attend, whether
they are tractor owners or not. Moth.
ing will be offered for sale at these
schools and there Will be no selling
talks. A course of instruction in how
tractor works and how to keep it
working will be strictly adhered to.
The instructors are practical tractor
and engine men and the course is laid
out on large charts illustrated with
clear diagrams and described in simple
terms. It takes up the reasons why
an engine operates, what takes place
within the cylinder Of an engine.
symptoms that indicate approaching
trouble, how to look for trouble and
not overlook it, how to get the best
possible service from a tractor or
engine, new uses for tractors and
many other subjects Of special interest
to men in this locality.
Those who attend the school will be
encouraged to ask questions on any
subject in connection with tractors
and engines. These questions will be
answered at the end of each school
session. There will be demonstrations
with engines and tractors themselves.
To be sure that every one who at
tends the school carries home with
him every point brought out there,
book containing all subjects discussed
at the school will be given to every
man. Every farmer who owns trac-
tor or engine should attend this
school but, more important still. he
should bring with him the man who
operates his tractor. Plan now to be
present at every session of the school,
for the men who do this will get the
greatest benefit out of it.
Don't forget the date, and be sure
to be there.-Adv.

Showing a greater development and
much moro aggressive spirit, the Rich.
mond high school basketball represent.
afives In the first game OF double
bill on the Coliseum door Friday night
downed the Eaton high school leather
tossers by the overwhelming score of
ia, and the Earlham basketball
tuirlers handed the State Normal ag-
gregation the small end of a All
score.
After the first i've minutes Of play
the Eaton quintet was lost. The
Eaton men collected In the middle
Of the floor and tried to play the
ball down the floor by short passes
but the plays were all stopped. Eaton
has become accustomed to playing on
a much smaller floor than the Coli
scum. Richmond gained the rub each
time when Simmons. the tall Rich.
mond center gained the tipoff at
every goal. The Eaton team showed
spots OF team work and passed the
ball with something like teamwork
occasionally but on the whole it prov
ed a slower team and the passes it
attempted were smothered.
Van Allen 10 Clever
Van Allen. the speedy little forward,
though the most of the time smother
ed by Eaton guards, held the crowds
attention while he lodged and evaded
the Eaton men and with speedy shots
located the basket fifteen times. Sim
mons came next on the high score
roll dropping the ball In the basket
from most any old place on the floor
for eleven field goals.
Cross floor plays from Simmons to
Robinson and then to Van Allen with
Crafts mixing in for his share usually
Melted a field goal for Richmond.
Kubler. the Eaton center, in a long
shot connected with the basket once
but the Eaton men were usually held
helpless by the Richmond forwards
and failed to score. Eaton fought
hard to run up larger score but the
efforts proved fruitless. In the first
half the score ended 42-3 and in the
second half Heistand made one free
throw.
EarIham Wins, Too
In the second bill of the evening
Earlham repeated the high school per.
Torrance but with harder fight. The
teachers put up hard fight The
game started fast and although Earl
ham gained the first goal through a
quick shot from Edwards, the Teach
crs came back with two field goals in
no time and 1t looked as though Earl
ham might have a harder fight than
was at first thought. But the clock
work playing Of the Earlham machine
soon put an end to this line of think
ing.
Jessup led the scoring for the Earl
hamites, making seven field goals.
with Edwards making six fields.
Shipley, of the Normals. led the scor-
ing with two fields and two free
throws.
The feature of the second half was
the freeze out the Earlham team play
ed. not allowing the teachers to con-
meet with the basket single time.
In the second half Move substituted
Pontius for Lawler and Carey for Ed
wards. Pitts for Meeks and Ellsworth
for johnson.

One hears that the Cubs are plan.
ming to see their trio of pitching stars.
Alexander, Phil Douglas and Vaughn.
win thirty games apiece next season.
The Cubs have 1t all figured out that
II this happens and they have fair
break OF luck in other departments
they will pick off the pennant with
great ease and eclat. Sad as 1t Is to
bust so lovely dream one cannot help
calling to mind the fact that winning
thirty games a season is little per-
Torrance that in the history Of base
ball has fallen to but few. In the past
twenty seasons for example just ten
pitchers have been able to win thirty
a season. Four OF those have done
il more than once. Grover Alexander
won thirty in 1915-l6-17, so it looks
likely that he should be able to come
through this season. AS to Douglas
and Vaughn, we may be permitted to
have a doubt or so. And let them re-
member that so great a star as Wal
ter Johnson has done it only once.
Stuffy Nc Innis will be warmly
welcomed in Boston, according to
most reports Stuffy makes his home
in Glouchester and has friends
throughout New England. Frazee, the
Red Sox owner, believes that Stuffy
will be the biggest drawing card the
team has had in many seasons, What's
more. his batting Is sure to strengthen
the team quite lot. He has been one.
OF the leagues 800 hitters for some
nine years and he ought to keep up
the pace for a few more seasons. Red
Sock fans are expecting a great deal
of McInnis.

hammer tbrower, was talking about
