great bulk was a handicap rather than
anything else and with the exception
OF his battles with Jeffries his whole
record viii show that he was right.
Jim Corbett's performances are more
arguments in favor of the idea that
speed and skill will beat bulk every
time. Though Jeffries won at the end
OF twenty-four rounds, the fight show
ed well enough that his bulk and size
put him at the greatest disadvantage
and only his wonderful toughness let
him last long enough to get over the
one punch he hoped TO land Had Cor
bett had small part of the toughness
of his opponent the bigger man would
never have won with the one blow he
landed.

GAME AT EATON
WILL Determine
R. S.PROSPEC7S
Richmond Basketballers Are
Preparing to Meet Eaton
Friday Night.

The Richmond high school basket
ball squad is putting Oh the finishing
touches in preparation for the game
at Eaton, Friday night.
Coach Mullins proteges will have a
busy time the rest of the season prac-
ticing and training for the coming
tournament March 8, and the proba-
bility of the Tri-state tournament Feb
ruary 9, the team ought to be in good
shape for the state tournament.
At Eaton Friday night the Richmond
five will play the only team thus far
that Liberty, the highest contender in
the sectional tournament has played.
Eaton was able to hold Liberty to a
$50 score in the final of the game
and in the first half Liberty only held
a one point lead over Eaton.
The Liberty team is getting some
publicity for its apparently almost per-
feet record. The team claims the dis
tnction Of winning ten games out of
eleven. its only defeat being by Xenia
Ohio. on the latter teams floor, and at
time when the Liberty team was
weakened by the illness of some of its
members. Liberty has scored ASS
points to its opponents 1888.
In the game Friday night at Eaton
Richmonds prospects in the coming
tournament will altogether depend on
the size Of the score piled up.
Stegman will probably be out of the
game next Friday but is now reporting
for practice and expects to start in
the game in the near future.
Coach Mullins is attempting to put
plenty of speed along with accuracy
in the team in order to overcome the
light weight handicap which has
proven so disastrous to the high school
five during it's career this season.

After spending so much of his mon

a bit sad now to find that it is hard
to please the fans whatever ones eff
forts. Cub fans are now inclined to
sneer at Charley because he hash t
signed Hornsby and Max Carey in
the way that he loudly proclaim ed.
In fact, Cub fans are beginning to tell
Weeghman he's quite a skate. Tough
luck, Charlie, but what's so tickle as
fandom? Hopes raised too high and
then comes a crash. There is always
the reaction. Perhaps later on the
Cub fans may agree to be thankful
for the blessings they have thus far
received, but in the meantime they
must have their chance to do a bit
of following.
Quite few interleague games will
be played in the south this spring
