DISAPPOINTMENT OF EASTERN DISTRICT
LEAGUE MEETING IS CONSIDERED

Postponement for one week of the
meeting called for Sunday. Feb. %,
at Fort Wayne. has been suggested
to the franchise owners interested in
the reorganization Of the Central.
The Richmond management early to
day had not received word of the post
pOnement.
In the meantime owners Of the fran.
chises in the western end of the cir
cult are preparing to attend the meet
ing called by AL Tearney at Chicago
for Friday.
Tearney Has Ambitions.
This move can be interpreted as al
effort Of Tearney to get into the run
ming with reJuvenated Three-l
league. Tearney has ambitions, one
of them being to head minor league
Some fans say that Tearney took ad
vantage of the situation created by
Noblett's desire to split the Central
into western and eastern sections.
With the eastern section willing to
meet at Fort Wayne. Tearney quickly
called the Chicago meeting, extending
his invitations only to western section
franchise owners. In this way, it is
trail, take advantage of the willing
ness of the western franchise owners
to have baseball at all costs, and ride
in as president of the circuit.
Every disinterested fan has come to
the conclusion that the Central needs
a leader at this crisis, who will fear.
lessly put an end to the pickering OF
the moguls and weld the clubs into a
strong circuit. Nothing will be gained
by trying to hold meetings in both
ends of the circuit
Hopes are still held here that the
Fort Wayne meeting will be held
Some resentment is entertained
against Tearney's meeting at Chicago

be no joint meeting Of representatives

from the entire territory in Fl Wayne
next Sunday. Official notice that the
meeting had been called off was re-
ceived by President Ryan of the Peo-
ria club today from Carl Vandegrift
of Fort Wayne.
The action necessarily signifies the
eastern owners have pulled away from
their brothers in the west, that they
will go along quietly and form their
own circuit, and the western owners
can make a similar move.
West 10 Busy.
That is exactly the move the west
ern owners are making this week IN
Chicago when they assemble Friday.
There is a strong possibility for the
old Three-I circuit to come back into
existence and If she comes back it
will be the best circuit to ever fly the
Tri-optic colors.
Perhaps the name of the circuit
may be changed, for portion of the
Central League territory will be in
cluded. But the move is up to the
club owners when they convene and
complete a permanent organization.
Il have been advised by Mr.. Noblett
of Grand Rapids, the Fort Wayne
Vandegrift said in his letter to Presi-
dent Ryan today.
I'VE have decided to form our own
league on this side of the territory.
The mileage will be smaller and the
natural rivalry between the cities will
be greater than any which we believe
would be created, by extending all the
way from Illionis to Ohio" he con-
tinued
According to Vandegrift's letter. the
eastern helf of the territory has seven
cities ready for the new league and
is waiting on the eighth city to com
plete club organization. They will
not meet Sunday in Fort Wayne, but
will probably hold their meeting one
week later, when they expect the per.
manent organization to be formed.

OF STOREKEEPER

A certain unassuming gentleman in
this city who happens to be a prom

weeks ago had become a recluse be-
cause of his physical condition tells
this remarkable and most interesting
tale:
For number of years." he said.
Il have been SO closely confined to
my business, working zealously to
make my store representative in every
respect that wear and tear finally got
me, my face became drawn and bag
gard and my disposition seemed to
urge people to evade me. 1t was then
that I began to despise my own COM
pany.
my bookkeeper one day suggested
that l needed rest and that my
nerves required attention. She told
me that her father had taken Phos-
plated Iron when in my condition.
Look at him now she said. He
works ten hours a day and Is the
happiest man in the world
All this happened less than month
ago. l followed the advice and look
at me now. Back in the harness with
smile all the while. l am feeling
more fit than ever. When I see tired
looking face the name of Phosphated
Iron Immediately comes in my mind.

Earlham may have state high school
track meet this year according to the
latest announcement made by A. l..
Trester, secretary of high school ath-
letic association. The meet will be
held May "a.
The meet was set for Indiana this
year but owing to FLU conditions at
Bloomington officials there thought it
wise to cancel the staging of the
meet Both Earlham and Franklin
asked for the meet.
e. p. Trueblood, athletic director Of
Earlham college received word We'd
nesday from A. L. Trester, stating
that In all likelihood Earlham would
be the college chosen for the state
track meet. AS yet the Richmond
high school officials have not been
notified that the track meet will be
held at Earlham.
Earlham college will make every ar
rangement for the entertainment and
care of the boys who will represent
the different schools and the follow
ers of each team.
Prospects this year for an excellent
basketball team are the best and
Coach Eckel has started getting
line on the men. He will not make
general call for track men until after
the basketball season is over. How
ever 1t is believed that the men them
selves will get to work as soon as pos
sible.
President B. w. Kelly will endeavor
to stir up interest among the boys
by holding several "thoos" meetings.
Richmond high school this year is full
Of excellent material, if the boys will
come out. The Richmond boys, how

first attempts in the freshmen year
when they are usually too light and
can do little. AS usual thing, the
student makes one attempt to make
a team and then II he fails quits for
good. Both Coach Eckel and Presi-
dent Kelly hope to overcome this
foolishhess on the part of Richmond
high school boys.
At present there are about fifteen
men who can take up track work and
probably will make shown Out Of
about 400 boys, Coach Eckel should
have at least 100 men out for track
from which to pick the final team.
The men who are being mentioned
for the new team are Emslie, Dollins,
Van Allen and Eversman in dash and
hurdle events. McMahan and Latta
in the mile. Reid In $50 and Smith
and Motley in quarter-mile. Price
and Stevens have signified them in
tentions of going out for weights
Richmond has enough good track
men to turn out splendid team and
with the advantage of practicing on
the track where the tourney will be
held should make a better showing
than any previous track has done.

ATHLETIC PARK FOR
USE OF SCHOOL IS
URGED BY KELLY

Richmond high school should have
an athletic park nearer the center Of
the town to stimulate athletics, in
the opinion Of B. w. Kelly, principal
of the high school.
Mr.. Kelly has been associated with
Richmond high school athletics for
some time and is in position to
speak upon the matter. During the
several seasons he has acted as bust
ness manager Of the basketball and
other teams when the returns after
expenses were paid, were not suffi-
cient to enable the school to break
even. The steady growth Of interest
in high school basketball has been
pronounced.
But the high school faces a problem
Of having that interest lost II the
boys do not take more interest in
the sport and come out, Kelly says.
One of the greatest needs to make
sports at the high school come to
the front is q more GENERALLY locat-
ed place for the boys to practice.
The playground is too far from the
school for the needs Of the present
conditions. He would advocate the
city turning over city square, some
thing the size Of Tenth street park
which could be turned into an ex-
cellent training place near at hand.
Other cities are making provisions
OF this sort for their school boys when
the city has become SO built up that
a downtown site is impossible, he
said. Sooner or later Richmond will
have to provide a place as the play
