WILLARD DEFEATED

HIM BY FRAME-U- P

This is one of the stars in our ed big league player puzzle.We have arranged a series of stars disguised this way to test your knowl-fdg- eof major league players. We conceived the idea from a game playeda short time ao at Pasadena, Cal., in which the players, many of them

big league stars, were forced to wear flu masks. Fans' at that game had agreat time picking out the stars disguised that way. The player shownabove is a southpaw, hurler who has been a winner for his club in the pastHe has unusually good control and ranks high as a fielder. He helped landbin team near the top last year and has signed up or this season.

With the best outlook for a; goodfootball team for the coming season,Coach Mowe announced Wednesdaythat he would probably spend sometime this spring in lining up for nextseason's football campaign.

Because so many regular footballmen were not in school last year noattempt was made to schedule anygames and arrange for a football team'last fall. Thus far three home gamesare scheduled on the Quaker footballprogram. Wittenberg. Franklin andButler will be the opponents on Reidgridiron. Only three games scheduledare I. C. A. L. contests. St Mary'sand Xavier are two other colleges In-cluded in the 1919 football campaign.

Nine members of the 1917 footballvarsity crew are expected to be backnext fall. They are Snyder, quarter-back, Raiford, half back. Pitts, endguard, Osbourne, center, Johnson andHarris, guards, Hadley tackle and thetwo Mills, ends. All are expected totry out for their old positions.

The Earlham football card for fall Isas follows: ; .

Oct. 4.-- Wittenberg at Wittenberg.Oct. 11. St. Mary's at St Mary's.Oct. 18. Wittenberg at Rochmond.. Oct 24. Wabash at Wabash.

DISTRICT TOURNEY

MUNCIE, Ind., March 13. The Mun-cl- e

high school basketball team whichlost to Spiceland academy team atNewcastle last Saturday night in thefinal game of the district tourney, hasgathered evidence to present to theofficials of the Indiana high schoolbasketball association at Purdue uni-

versity Thursday, to show that it andnot Spiceland should represent thedistrict at the state tournament.

The Muncie officials charge irregu-larities in the decisions of the Muncie-Spicelan- d

game. They claim that menwere removed from the floor on thegrounds that they committed person-als which they and their teammatesdisclaim. Jones and Pjimale, the twostrongest men on the Muncie teamwere removed from the floor duringthe game.- -

Eddie Rousch's bat helped make theCincinnati. Reds one of the, greatestscoring machines in the Nationalleague last season. There is. no Tea-so- n

why Ed shouldn't give the otherbatters a run for the swatting cham-pionship in the National league in thecoming frolic.

- Rousch's picture was printed yes-

terday in the player con-test." The Reds tied with the Cubs lastseason in scoring the greatest num-ber of runs in the league while wind-ing up third in the standings. Theyscored 538. Rousch batted .333 in thecampaign, slamming out 145 base hitsIn 113 games. In addition to this heled the league in sacrifice hits a val-uable adjunct to his slugging in theway of putting over runs. He laiddown thirty-thre- e sacrifices.

He was the ' setond busiest littlegardener in the league, accepting 333chance in the fleld. He wound up witha fielding average of .960, perpetrat-ing fourteen boots in the season.

Rousch broke into the major leaguesas a star via the Federal league. Hewas obtained by the Giants but landedlater with the Reds. He led the Na-tional circuit in batting in 1917, hittingat a .341 clip.

The Other Alley' Some high class bowling was dis-played Wednesday night on the Twiggalley whVi the Richmond bowlingteam annexed a victory from theRushville bowling team by 26 pins.Both teams bowled the high total num-ber of pins of 2600 and over.

In the first round of the evening'sbill nothing happened, both teamsbowling rather even with Rushvilleleading. In the second round Cas-sad- y

annexed 212 pins but the im-

provement of all the Richmond menin this go gave Richmond the edge.

It was in the third game that thebowling reached its highest standard.Wolcott of Rushville the first man tofinish his ten frames headed the highscore list with 213 pins in one gameto his credit.

Tho hort schedule, by reason ofa-it- tho mnlor leaeue baseball season will not begin until April 23, haslost many of its erstwhile supportersas . a result of the excellent weatherexperienced this winter, yet there areat least four club owners, two in eachlnaerne. who are elad that a late startwas decided upon.. Their gratificationis due to the fact tnat some oi meirfttnr nlavers are still overseas, witnslim chances of a speedy return tothe land of base hits.

In the National league the Brook-

lyn club is chiefly concerned over thematter of bringing our troops backfrom France and Germany at an earlydate,, for four Robins whose presenceIn this country would enhance thepossibilities of a pennant for Brook-

lyn are in the American army of oc-

cupation or engaged in police dutyin France. Clarence Mitchell andChuck Ward are in Germany with the342nd Field Artillery, John Miljus,who was slightly wounded in actionhas recovered and is again withy hisregiment, and Sherrod Smith is an"M. P." in Paris, and no one seemsto ' know when any or all of theseplayers will return.

The Cubs, as they proved so con-

clusively last season, can win withoutGrover Cleveland Alexander, yet theChicago fans will be bitterly disap-pointed if Aleck the Great has not re-

turned from foreign service by April23, while in Boston, George Washing-ton Grant and the Brave's adherentsare looking forward to the doy thatHank Gowdy will again set foot inthe precincts of the Sacred Cod. JackMiller, Frank Snyder and MarvinGoodwin, whose return to the Cardi-nals would greatly strengthen theclub piloted by Branch Rickey, are i

still overseas, while in Pittsburg, therelease' from duty with the air forcesoverseas of Elmer Ponder, a talentedyoung boxman, is eagerly anticipatedby Hugo Bezdeck, and the fans whoserendevous is Forbes Field.

Would Not Believe theAdvertisements He

Read in NewspapersStrange Case of OHIO Man

Mr. Smith of Carrlnrton was quite apessimist until recently. Advertise-ments of patent medicines and otheradvertisements In general were In hisopinion absolutely unworthy of perusal.Of course he had the same idea of phy-sicians, and that Is why he. sufferedfor years from stomach trouble andconstipation.

At last, however, Mrs. Smith hasgrown tired of the continuous ill treat-mentxs-

suffered on the part of Mr.Smith, who was continually lrr.tated.Naturally restless quite often suffer-ing from Insomnia, he caused moretrouble than was to be expected fromhim. A neighbor of the Smiths calledMrs. 8m!th's attention to the advertise-ments of LAXCARIN in the local pub-lications. Mrs. Smith decided to try It.Sent for a box. Received it by returnmall. However, she then encounteredanother obstacle that had not beenthouarht of before'. Mr. Smith has ab-

solutely refused to consider taking-"tha- t

fake stuff". Finally, Mrs. Smithwas.abl to persuade him to take atablet after dinner. Of course. It didnot help Mr. Smith, on the contrary Itmade htm feel worse than before.Nevertheless, notwithstanding: Mr.Smith's Mrs. Smith noticedthat Mr. Smith did not have to be per-suaded to take the second nor the thirdtablet of Iaxcarin. Obstinate in na-

ture, of course, he would not admitthat Laxrarln was helping-- , him. Sofinally, after thirty days treatment, heconfessed to Mrs. Smith that he him-self has sent for six boxes of Laxcarin

and "furthermore he does not hAvoto take them anymore although he hasnot used a whole treatment. His stom-ach is working; well also ; he has aperfect bowel movement -

So now there are advertisements andadvertisements, as there are people andpeople. If you are pessimistic, let yourwife send for a box of Laxcarin. If youare not then send for it yourself to-

day. There Is no worse misery thanstornach trouble or a constipated con-- 1

dltion. It Is not only a misery, but itaccelerates old age. Send for a boxof 'Laxcarin. let us show you thatthere are advertisements in which youcan and in which you should believe.

Laxcarin Is sold by the Laxcarin1Products Co., . Dept. B-9- 4. Pittsburgh.'Penna. Prloe per box one dollar, fulltreatment six boxes five dollars. Willbe sent post paid upon receipt of cash,money orders or stamps. Substitutesmust be refused. Adv. i

HAVANA, Cuba, March 13. Jack. Johnson, former heavyweight cham-

pion, in a signed statement given tothe Associated Press last night, de-

clared that his fight with Jess Wil-lar- d

in this city four years ago was apre-arrang- affair and that he allo-

wed Willard to win. In addition to thef sum of $30,000, entire' rights to the

moving picture films in Europe and33 1-- 3 per cent of the proceeds fromtheir exhibition in the United States

, and Canada are mentioned by Johnsontogether with the promise of aid tosettle Johnson's Chicago difficultieswith the federal authorities, so thatthe colored pugilist might return thereto . his property and see hismother.

Johnson declared In his statementthat it was arranged that he shouldlose in the tenth round, provided Wil-lard- 's

showing was such as to justifyit, but that as Willard was doing prac-tically nothing, he was forced to wait.

' The signal agreed upon was given inthe 20th round, Johnsop, states, buthe waited until the 26th round togive Willard an opportunity to make

! a good showing.';' The former champion declares that

unless Willard agrees to light him. wtthin'a reasonable time he will claim

the world's title. He signed his state-ment, "Jack. Johnson, Champion."

Colonel D'Estrampes. former con-gressman, who is backing Johnson,stated that Johnson is willing to bat-tle Willard anywhere in the UnitedStates, the proceeds to go to the ClarkGriffith Bat and Ball fund or to anycharitable institution. Col D'Estram- -

; pes has wired "Bat" Masterson, ofNew York, asking for the address of

: Denipsey and Fulton, with the ideaof arranging a match in Havana between either of '.them and Johnson.D'Estrampes says in his cablegramthat Johnson i "disposed, to defendthe world's championship" against

either of these men. . ..
