Minor Leagues Pleased
Declares Three-I Head

CHICAGO, Jan. 28-Refusal Of
Chairman Hermann Of the National
Baseball Commission to sign the new
pact with the minor leagues is no
cause for alarm, according to Al r.
Tearney, president of the The Three-l
league and chairman OF the minor
league committee which effected the
break" with the majors.
I'VE accepted the word OF the major
leagues that they would respect our
contracts, players and territorial
rights and their word is good enough
for me- said Chairman Tearney.
This action of the minor leagues is
a splendid thing. 1t enables us to pro
tect our clubs by holding most of our
good players, and thus assure our pa
trOE. better baseball than we could
give under the old agreement. We will
continue to sell players to the majors
and buy players from them, but we
will sell to whom we please and not
be compelled to give them up under
the optional agreement and draft.
Minor league clubs will never be
broken up in mid season by sales or
recall of players loaned us by the
major leagues. The minor leagues are
well satisfied with the new turn of
affairs"
Chairman Tearney and his associ-
ates will present new agreement to
the commission within a month.

ing up to the final game which was to
be held in Richmond, but when the
teams tried to get floors they found
that in most of the towns the only
place to play was in the high school
gymnasium and there is rule against
any teams but the high school teams
using these gymnasiums, SO the indie
pendent teams could not schedule any

Possibly new plan will be brought

looks as II no Independent champion
ship will be decided in Wayne county
this year.

MARCHES IN REVIEW

His march with the sixth division in
parade before President Wilson. Cen
eral Pershing and President Poincare,
is described by Private Thomas Little
john in a letter to his mother. Mrs.
Harry Littlejohn, and his sister, Mrs.
Harry e. Sharpe.
THE boys certainly had time with
that parade" Littlejohn wrote, 'wad-

took movies of US SO you may see them
in Richmond some day. We have had
rain and mud foet deep for two
weeks; then yesterday il started to
snow, but no frost. so the snow is just
over the mud. which makes a lovely
combination to Vancouver on. The
hills and pine trees about here GER

EARLHAM TEAM
D0PED TO win
WABASH GAME
Secondary Basketball Cham
pionship of State to be De-
cided at Game Here Friday.

The stage Is set for what promises
to be the best game of the season on
the local floor this year. on Friday
night when the Wabash college bas-
ketballers come to this city to play
the Fighting Quakers."
Wabash last year had the reputa-
ton of the best team in Indiana and
this year the Earlham boys with Hall
of last years wonder five" with them
are developing into ono OF the best in
the Hoosier state.
Probably by Friday Captain Speedy
Meeks will be out OF the hospital and
able to play his old position OF floor
guard. II he had been playing in the
Butler game on Friday, there prob
ably would have been no blowout
in the last few minutes OF play If
he had been in the game Saturday
night against Indiana Dental college
team. the score would probably have
been great deal more uneven than
IT was.
With Lawler hitting the basket next
Friday night and Hall playing his us
ual fast and steady game, the Quakers
VIII have fine scoring machine
against Wabash.
II Carey plays as he did last Friday
night, breaking up play after play by
jumping into the air and stopping
the ball, the Wabash team should have
hard time getting the ball down the
Lcor on long passes. Meeks can be
depended on to guard his man all
over the floor. Johnson will probably
stop any OF the men getting within
range OF the basket to make short
shots. He is always steady in his
playing and will make fine backbone
Tor the team Friday against the large
Wabash players.
This game is attracting great deal
OF attention all over the state in bas-
ketball circles as the secondary cham
pionship Of the state will be decided
by this game. The Earlham men have
either defeated everyone else in the
l. e. A. l.. or made better showing
so that 1t can be doped out that
Eariham is now at the top of the l..
G. A. l.. standing.

AS result of ruling of the war
department on the matter of dis
charges for men now serving in
France who have good reason for
returning to this country in the i'm.
mediate future, President John A
Heydler of the National league be-
lieves that little or no difficulty
should be experienced in bringing
about the speedy return of men like
Grover Alexander, Hank Gowdy
Christy Mathewson and Clarence
Mitchell who are still overseas. The
section of the rule which may reason
ably be construed to apply to the
cases Of these men reads as follows:
ANY officer or enlisted or drafted
man who entered the service since
April l, 1917, and who submits good
and sufficient reasons for requesting
discharge in Europe may be dis
charged in Europe, provided that the
officer or soldier valves any claim
for sea travel allowance. Officers
and men of this class shall be paid
travel allowance to the port of en-
barkation and from Hoboken, N. j.,
to the place Of entrance into the serv-
ice"

charge from the air service mechanic

ton at his home prior to resuming
his duties as mechanic in connec-
ton with his uncle's racing cars. De

the mechanic school has helped him
wonderfully in his knowledge of mo-

will be the best mechanic on the au-

Brooklyn driver, also went into the

AT MARTINSvILLE

Richmond high school basketball
lers are all set for the game Friday
night with Martinsville high at Mar
tinsville.
Last Friday night against Rushville
Richmond showed the best class ex
hibited this year. and if the same form
is shown at Martinsville. the game
will not be very hard for the Rich
mond youngsters.
In the first few weeks of the season
Richmond high won from Martinsville
on the Coliseum floor here, but the
test will come riday when the team
plays on strange floor.
Probably Van Allen and Stegman
will occupy the forward positions
Dollins the pivot position and Evers
