Earl Smith.

Keep your eye on Mr.. Earl Smith,
young catcher cavorting with the
Giants.
Jawn McGraw is ready to swear by
the lad-and Jawn seldom grows en-
thusiastic over boomers.
Lew McCarty has been known as
the star of the Giant catching staff
but the last two seasons he has failed
to live up to expectations. McGraw
has, besides McCarty, this lad Smith
Frank Snyder, a husky mechanical
Dackstop and Mike Gonzales the slen-
der Cuban. And right now Earl has a
chance to cop the regular job.
Two years ago Smith was unknown
to big league baseballers. Inside Of a
year he was bought by McGraw for
seven ball players and lump Of
dough. How's that for breaking in?
Two springs ago Smith was a free
agent and hanging around Hot
Springs, Ark, his home town, waiting
for someone to hire him. When the
Brooklyn Dodgers arrived at the
springs for training Smith arranged
with Manager Robinson to work out
with the squad. Robby liked Smiths
looks and suggested to Ebbetts that
they hang onto the boy. Ebbetts said
nix. Another bull for Ebbetts.
Along came Arthur Irwin of the Ro-
chester international league club
looking for catcher and Robby sung
the praises of Smith to him. Irwin
signed Smith-for nothing. When the
baseball season of 1918 was ended Nc
Graw told Irwin to name his price for
the kid. Irwin did-seven players and
cash as mentioned above. McGraw
produced Smith joined the Giants
last spring and Jawn took him under
bis wing. During the practice SEES
sions McGraw talked to him. The
Giant pitchers talked to him. During
the early part of the season he worked
in the bullpen. Later McGraw let him
finish several games. And he was
learning every day.
Now he shows the results of the
years work McGraw-and the Goth
am scribes-believe the kid is ready
to blossom out as a regular back
stop.

ten to practically every school in the
state. Football is not generally taken
up by schools in this section, the
northern part having nearly all the
football schools. Vernon has written
Logansport, South Bend, Gary and
others, but has received no answer.
The football schedule is to include
six games. The return scrap with
Manual of Louisville, is hanging fire.
Manual wants Richmond to come there
the first part of October, while Yer
non wants a game in November Man
ual has game on the date suggested
by Richmond but is trying to arrange
the date SO as to accommodate Rich
mond.
Vernon is determined not to SEIZED
ule games with either Steele or Stiv-
ers high of Dayton. ST. Mary's may
get a return game, however Hamil-
ton is angling for return game with
Richmond.
The opening game on the schedule
will be played here against Green
castle on October Is.

KING O. SPORTS IS
READY TO ASSUME
SCEPTER IN CITY

With league baseball in Richmond
an assured fact, the population Will
soon be baseball mad.
Richmond goes into every sport with
q vim, basketball. football and polo
receiving great support. The King OF
Sports is expected to receive the
greatest homage of all, however.
This does not mean that Richmond
will be devoted entirely to Class
baseball, for numerous teams and
leagues in the city and county are
forming. Saturday Afternoon ball VIII
probably become an assured fact at a
meeting in Vigran's store next Thurs
day night. This league has been held
off until Glass B baseball had become
a fact. Six factories have sign1fled
intention of signing up.
To Meet at Brehm's.
A meeting of representatives from
six surrounding towns will be held IN
Brehm's store next Sunday afternoon.
Two or three representatives from
Richmond will also be present.
The outcome Of this meeting is ex-
pected to result in a Suburban league.
Small towns surrounding Richmond
are represented by baseball teams In
the summer and the Suburban league
will band these teams into one or
ganization.
The railroaders at the Pennsy East
Yards also have the baseball fever
and are trying to either organize a
Pennsy league or else enter team In
the S. A. L. or some other league.
Considerable agitation among Rich
mond commercial employees for a base
ball league is on tap. A Commercial
league was formed last year and back
ers plan to form an organization sim
liar, only more binding rules in regard
- outside players will be made.
Kids Biggest Players.
The grown-ups are not the only
baseball fans in town. Outdoor base
ball will be started by Garfield school
kids next week and the usual purple
and white teams will be formed. A
Garfield varsity nine is selected and
games are played with representative
high school teams.
The Twenty-second street play
grounds are to be put into shape and
this means that Sunday school
league will be formed this summer.
Organizations Of this sort proved of
great success up to two years ago,
when the junior element lost interest
in baseball. This interest has been
regained, however, with interest.
Baseball teams are formed at the
different Fairgrounds of the city dur
ing the summer vacations and these
will probably be formed into a league,
Many Independent Mines.
Numerous independent teams will
be formed in Richmond during the
summer months. Among these is the
X. of G. team. The organization al
ready has tentative games with K of
c. teams in Cincinnati, Dayton, In
dianapolis and Springfield.

BASEBALL GOES over; WORK TO Be
STARTED AT ONCE ON LEAGUE PARK
BY
McMANUS

Richmond will have baseball next
summer. This was assured Monday
afternoon, when the baseball commit
tee, in charge of the financial cam
paign, announced that the 100 button
statesmen, for the boster campaign had
been signed. Buttons will be placed
on sale Wednesday morning.
The matter of accepting franchise
in either of the two leagues that are
angling for team in Richmond, will
be settled at a meeting of league
heads and club promoters to be held
here soon. AS soon as these ar
engagements are completed a mana
ger will be hired to head a Richmond
club. By starting at this time Rich
mond will have an opportunity to sign
several big league recruits, members
of the committee believe, as major
leagues will soon start unloading and
farming their excess material.
Work to be Started Soon.
Work on the grand stand and park,
which will require at least two weeks
will be started Immediately. 1t is
hoped that the playing field will be
in fit condition to allow the team to
start practice there by April Is, which
will allow two or three weeks for the
men to get used to their teammates
before the season opess.
Most of the players that have been
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-03-30

considered for the league have already
started training, and the only practice
needed after signing here will be to
accustom themselves to the park and
other players.
President Dickerson, of the Central
league, and Joe Carr, head of the pro-
posed Indiana-Ohio circuit have writ
ten that they are planning to call a
meeting of interested clubs in Rich
mond soon.
Details Of league organization, ar
ranging schedule, posting of forfeits
and other matters that may require
attention before the season opens will
be taken up at once by the league
head.
Central Is Possibility.
Some sentiment has shown itself
among fans and promoters here of re-
viving as far as possible the old Cen
trail circuit, with either eight or ten
clubs, using the Invest towns in both
proposed circuits for the consolida.
ton. If this is done, it would mean
that the league would be one of the
strongest minor leagues in the
country.
Friction between some of the club
owners and league heads is believed
to be the only obstacle in the way
of accomplishing this, and there is
hope on the part of some that this
friction may be removed.

TWO BASKETBALL, 3
FOOTBALL CLASHES
ON H, s. SCHEDULE

Manager Vernon, of Richmond high
school, has definitely scheduled two
basketball and three football games
for next sea son. The basketball games
are with Huntington and Muncie; the
football games with Newcastle, Elk
hart and Greencastle.
Little difficulty Is expected in lining
up the ten basket scraps as Richmond
has a high class rep in state circles.
No date has been set, but no basket
ball season would be complete without
game with Newcastle.
Games will also probably be sched-
uled with Columbus and Wabash. Both
these schools are new to Richmond
fans. Spiceland and Fountain City
will also probably be added.
Manager Vernon plans to have the
schedule include only one game be-
fore Christmas. This will proba bly,
be against Fountain City as the bas-
ketball class displayed by this latter
school in the district tourney was i'm
pressive.
Things are not SO roseate In foot
ball, however. Three games have
been scheduled. but Vernon has writ

Farm Federation

Regulation Of the supply of live
stock in order to meet the demand,
and to keep a steady flow onto the
| market, is the one big problem of the
| farmers of Indiana and states in the
corn belt, according to a statement
issued by George c. Bryant, field
| agent Of the cooperative crop report
| ing service for Indiana. To meet this
problem an information schedule has
been prepared by Mr.. Bryant, in CO.
] operation with the Indiana Federation
, of Farmers Associations. A meeting OF
local units of the organization will be
held in every township of the state on
next Wednesday where officers of the
association will secure information
which will enable them to advise farm
ers in regard to their feeding plans.
In discussing the schedule, Mr.. Bry-
ant said:
"The schedule asks for the numbers
of cattle, sheep and swine on farms,
Jan. I, 1920; the number of births and
the number brought onto the farms
during the quarter, for feeding; the
number sold, the number slaughtered
and the number of deaths on the
farms during the quarter; the number
of females on hand March 81 for
breeding purposes, and the number of
stock on hand for feeding; the num-
| Der that will be finished during the
succeeding 80 days, the approximate
date they will be ready for market
and about the average weight per
head.
| No Data Available.
| AT this time there are no statistic
al data available to the farmers that
will enable them to successfully plan
their feeding projects and avoid a
glut on the market at certain periods
with a consequent reduction in prices
at such times. But with information of
the character indicated above, tabu-

lated in ten day periods, by counties
and shipping points, the officers of the
federation will be in a position to
regulate the flow of meat animals to
market to such an extent that when
farmers buy their feeder stock they
will be sure of fair profit when it Is
fully finished and ready for the mar
ket. The lack of stability in the live
stock markets has caused the farmers
to lose thousands of dollars and every
member of the organization is being
urged to be present at his township
meeting on March 81 and fill out a
schedule for his farm. 1t is fully ex-
pected that $4,000 to $4,000 reports
will be in the hands of the officers

MAJORITY LEADERS
DELAY TAX REFORM

WASHINGTON, April S.-Secretary
Houston of the treasury. in letter to
the house ways and means commit
tee, has put at the disposal of the
committee every expert in the treasury
department in an effort to either in
duce or force some revision of reve-
nue. legislation during this session of
congress.
Not only has the secretary offered
the services of his assistants, but @lso
he has offered to the committee all
the detailed information at the COM
self expressed the Willingness to join
in any movement relative to the ques-
ton of taxation reform.
Despite this latest endeavor. it is
apparent the house ways and means
committee will do nothing at this ses-
sion of congress- Whether it is fear
that prevents congress from tackling
the question. or whatever the cause,
members of the committee indicate
plainly that nothing will be done at
this time.
The decision of the republican lead
ers to refrain from removing the in
equaiities which crept into taxation
legislation during the stress and strain
of war will mean that not until 1922
will the country be relieved of these
burdens. When congress meets again
next November: there will be an ,ex-
pressed desire to await the recofn-
of the new president in the
following March. Then the subject
will be debated at length and the tax
able returns under a revised schedule
cannot be made applicable until the
1922 taxation period.
