When the Democrats came into pow
er in 1918. the hardest job of all con-
fronting them was the handing out of
some $4,000 postoffices without caus'

was simply natural that Roper should
be made first assistant postmaster
general. Just when he was function

partment, however, it occurred to
some good friend of Woodrow Wilson's

Roper so he roped him In as organ

was sent over there as vice chairman
Of the body. Next the income tax
business promised to be even fuller of
figures than the tariff commission, so
Roper was made commissioner Of in

.EARLHAM SCRAMBLES
UP I.C.A.L. STANDING
BY BEATING WABASH

All Earlham wears a contented grin,
for Quakerdom triumphed over the
Wabash basketball machine "a to %,
In movie thriller" scrap at the coli
scum Friday night.
This victory completely changes the
complexion of the I. c. A. L. BY
virtue of two defeats over Earlham,
Rose Poly has good ground for claim
to first position. However, by virtue
of the decisive defeat of the Engineers
by Wabash, I. c. A. L. officials prob
ably will award the silver cup to
the Charlottesville team. Earlham has
q title to second honors.
AS for Fridays game itself-fans
will agree that it was one of the best
ever staged here. Wabash gained a
six point lead early in play and main
tanned 1t for the first ten minutes.
After Johnson deserted his back guard
job and dribbled the length of the
floor and Gagged the first Quaker mark
er, Coach Moves proteges got to-
gether and started to climb. The first
half ended with Wabash leading, 16
to Is.
Second Half Repetition.
The second half was a repetition of
the last Of the first. Wabash would
count a goal, followed by a Quaker
marker. Kashner tossed a foul goal
that put Wabash three points to the
good.
Hall came through for two points
and in the last two minutes Lawler
made his only field marker of the eve
ming, which won the game. Earlham
then successfully kept Wabash from
the goal until after the final gun had
been sounded.
Orvall Hall was the individual star
for Earlham. In addition to making
half the Quaker total points, he was
a world of power on defense. Lawler
was closely guarded and could not
register any of the five free throws
offered Herb Carey performed in
good style, caging three field markers
Kashner showed to advantage for Wa
bash, getting field goals, and making
five out of six foul shots. Adams
played a good game, hooking three
baskets, but could not quite fill the
hole made vacant by Etter.

George Dauss.


Hughie Jennings has let it be known
that he has little hopes of adding to his
pitching staff for 1920 chase and will
depend upon George Dauss, Howard
Ehmke, Dutch Leonard and Bernie
Boland to do the bulk Of his slab work
in what Hughie believes is Detroit's
year for the pennant.
Jennings and Detroit fans are ex-
pecttng the veteran Dauss to lead the
quartet again as he did last season.
the best in his big league career.
Dauss, pitching his eighth campaign
for the Jungaleers, hung up twenty-one
victories last season while losing only
nine games, an average Of 700. He
held the opposition to $3.50 runs game
which Is all Hughie asks for his hurlers
with the smuggling team he has.
George was born in Indianapolis in
1889 and broke into the pro game with
Duluth in 1909. In 1911 the st. Paul
IA club obtained his services from
Duluth but after he had taken part in
three games sold him to Winona in
the Minnesota-W Wisconsin league, Of
which Duluth was member. In 1912
Pittsburg obtained him but released
him early in April to St. Paul. On
August 20, 1912 he was sold to Detroit
and finished the season with the
Tigers. He was a winning hurler for
Hughie every season excepting 1918
when he won thirteen and lost sixteen
games. He was of little real use to
the Tigers in 1915, however, being
credited with only one game-a vic
tory.
Last year Emke, Boland and Leon
ard ranked higher than George in the
number of earned runs allowed but
none Of the three had as good a won
and lost percentage
