make the count 16-all.
Another round was tried, and
Glover was the only Solsberry player

Warning
Watch Bulldogs in Sec
ond Half, Quakers; Take
a Tip From Wabash!
BY PAUL BOXELL

NOTICE, Quakers: Those Butler
IN Bulldogs may appear Gocile
enough in the first half, but when
the second canto begins-look out!
Such is the message that should
be sent to Richmond as a. matter of
fair warning to Earlham College
basketball players before they tan
gle with the battlin' Bulldogs tomor-
row night.
The statement is an automatic
outgrowth of the local cagers' daz-
cling performance last night at the
Fieldhouse when they registered a
1890 triumph over Wabash College
by piling up 80 points in the last
half while the Bachelors were col
Letting is.
Little Booey Snyder put on one
man show for the visitors as they
completely outplayed the home
towners in the first half to lead at
intermission, IA to Is. He. was a
"dribblin' fool" as he bounced the
ball through the Bulldog lines to
advantageous spots near the basket.
Booey Gagged only one field goal in
the first session, but got himself
fouled for eight free attempts, of
which he made six.
Speedy Opening Session
Roscoe Bats and Ralph Bradford
flashed the Bulldogs into a SO
lead. Snyder sank two free throws,
added his lone basket, Heath tackled
on a charity toss and the score was
knotted, Sail. Heath tipped in a
follow-up, Booey was good on two
more gift flips, and the Butler boys
called for recess. They came back
with Jones dropping in a long one
and Fawcett. sent in by Coach
Hinkle presumably to clamp down
on Snyder, adding a ne-pointer.
Davis streaked under the hoop to
push the Little Giants ahead, II to
9. Jones fired another long ranger,
but Heath matched it, and Bats
closed the gap to 14-13 with an UNI
der-basket dash as the half ended.
Bulldog Dynamite ExpIodes
Then came the fireworks! The
second half was hardly minute old
when Gerkensmeyer sounded the
bugle by sinking free toss. Arm
strong hit from the field, Bats
rambled under in his own inimitable
style, Bradford sank a brilliant one
handler, Bats repeated, Bats drib-
bled the length of the floor to con-
meet, and the resurrected Bulldogs
were in front, "a to Is. Snyder
sneaked in one of his charity throws
during the spree. The Little Giants
were completely subdued and from
then on it was breeze for the Fair
view goalers.
Coach Tony Hinkle inserted a
complete reserve lineup as the third
quarter got under way, with Mer-
rill playing center, Corbett and Faw-
cett, forwards, and Clay and Co.'S
grove, guards.
All told, tow-headed Roscoe Bats
scored IS points for Butler. Davis
took scoring honors for the in
vaders, collecting nine points as
compared to Snyder's eight.
The game marked the thirty-first
basketball meeting of the two old
rivals, and was victory No. % of the
series for the Bulldogs. Summary:
Butler 4a). Wabash 1907.

MALFORMED BABY t BOY IN DISPUTE
CcontInued from Page D

a CContinued from Page D for the baby to live unless the cp- eration is performed Eastman told the parents. "He is slowly starving to death, because his body can't absorb enough nourishment."
 we can't let him died without trying to do something" Mrs. Tafel cried. Tt would be Q sin not to give him Q chance to live. I lie here and watch nurses going past in the cor- biesridors with normal healthy babies, and I can hardly stand it to think of our poor baby starving to death as we do nothing"
 Tafel contended 1t would be a sin to let the poor child live. He would probobly be bed-ridden for life, and when he came to under standing, if he did, he would curse us for letting him live.
 May Discover Something
 Eastman pointed out that there is always a chance surgery may dis- cover something to permit victims of this type of malformation to lead normal, or near-normal lives.
 Tafel fears the child always will require special attention. He point ed out that his means are limited, that his wife would have to give the child all the attention 1t re- quired, and might be forced to neg lect their normal and healthy daughter, Cornelia, who is two and a half years old.

 The father is a graduate of De- pauw academy, and a garage me- chanic.
 Fed With Eye DrOpper
 The child is bemg fed with an eye dropper. Doctors hope his tor- tured body will absorb enough nour -ishment to sustain him for a few hours, or few days.
 Three nurses will attend the child until the parents decide on the op- eration. Then, at their orders, doc- tors may let the child die without further aid, or gamble on the inci- sion.
 Eastman conferred with the hos- pital attorney, Stuart Krohn. Krohn told him, Eastman said, that in the "cold eyes of the law the child deserves every effort on the part of the medical profession to save his life.

OLD SOLDIERS
 ARE INDIGNANT
Continued from Page |,

(Continued from Page 1.) noisier than the democratic na- tional convention this summer in Philadelphia. The old soldiers are outnumbered by the ladies of the G. A. R., the Daughters of the c. A. R., and the Women's Relief Corps of the c. A. R., whose buxom men- bers are holding their conventions simultaneously.
 Veterans Without Chairs
 Veterans of Bull Run, of Shiloh, of Sherman's march, wander for lornly through the Hobbies, looking for chairs and trying vainly to ig- nore the ladies fife and drum corps from Philadelphia, whose perspir- ing members wear blue coats and white skirts and who make noises no union soldier ever heard before. Other ladies, in yellow silk cloaks, hustle importantly. Children, in silk soldier suits, slide on the marble floors.
 Women Sell Everything
 The Women's Relief corps peddles handkerchiefs from 6 stand in the lobby. The Florida auxiliary sells flower pots made of cocoanut shells, and ornate ashtrays built of semi tropical flora and fauna. The crush of women is terrific. That's why the veterans, most of whom are in their nineties, have deserted convention headquarters, in favor of the benches in the park. Ninety-three- year-old Oley Nelson, the com mander- -in-chief, from Slate, Ia., is one man who withstands the fenli- nine onslaught. He stands stiff and straight in his dress uniform, and tells the ladies where to head in.
 Veterans Will Parade
 About the parade tomorrow, down Pennsylvania avenue and past the White House, Nelson tells them they can throw their automobiles in the lake. He says the Grand Army is going to march on foot, as usual. The ladies insist and the com- mander relents little. He says they can have some cars at the end of the parade, if they want, but only for the benefit of the veterans who are too feeble to walk. There won't be many, he says.
 Wants No Sob Stories
 He turns then to the newspaper reporters and says he doesn't want to be reading sob stories about the faltering ranks of blue. He doesn't want to see any gun, nor any tears in print.
 The c. A. R. doesn't need any sympathy, he says. Its members

Decision by the state supreme court on Greenwood,s petitions against McGlue to prevent hearings on pro- tests against his nomination papers before the ballot law commission has been postponed until September 2o. Attorney General Paul A. Dever also has deferred until the same date his decision on legality of quo warranto proceedings to test McGlue's right to sit with the com mission.

 The bill, roughly providing for an additional $l0,0O0,000 expenditure, goes into effect July 1, 1887. About farm tenancy, MT. Roosevelt wrote: 'The tenancy problem in the United States cannot be solved over night. But through government financing of land purchased by tenants. Other countries, notably Ireland and Denmark, have substantially increased. farmer ownership of farm land.
 T think we need some such ap. proach. It should give tenants who have demonstrated their ability to manage land an opportunity to buy farms on long time terms ct mod. crate interest rates"
 In appointing the committee for the study of additional vocational aid, MT. Roosevelt named as chair man Dr. Floyd Reeves, professor of education, University of Chicago.
