SUBURBAN LEADERS SUCCUMB TO ATTACK OF KAYSEE QUINTET Displaying a scoring combination that would have been difficult for any team to defeat, the Knights of Col umbus defeated the Boston Indepen dent, leaders of the Suburban Basket ball league on the.Y. M. C. A. floor Tuesday night, 61 to 12. The strength ened lineup which the local club put on the floor was invincible and caged goal after goal in an easy manner. The K. of C. lineup was the same as that used against Campbellstown last week. Boston was minus its star player, Samuels, and was particularly weak on the defense, allowing the Knights to score most of their points from un der the basket. Few long shots were tried from either side. Boston scored only four field goals during the game. Runnels and McBride Strong. Runnels and McBride were the chief powers for the K. of Cs. They were not the high scorers but their excel lent floor work and rapid passing made them stand out from the rest of the team. Beisman played a great game at back guard, keeping the Bos tonians away from the loop. The visitors seemed unable to get their team work going and did not play the game they are capable of putting up. The Knights ran in a second team at the beginning of the second half and this bunch continued the attack on the draperies. Making New Start. Boston heads the Suburban league standing and the K. of Cc. are at the foot. The new start they are making probably will land them near the top before the end of the season. The Richmond Kevpies defeated the Boston second team 25 to 8. The local youngsters bombarded the bas ket from all angles. The lineup and score follow : K. of C. - Boston Eubanks F. Ballinger McBride F Miller C. Reynolds C Davis A Aletz.- -. .G Kltchel Biesman G McBride Field Goals K. of C Eubanks, 13! McBride, 7; C. Reynolds, 6; H. Fitz gibbons, 3; C. Fitzgibbons.

Gastritis, Sluggish Liver and Weak Kidneys greatly Helped I by Dreco. Constipation is one of the worst of modern ailments. Can you imagine a sewer pipe being stopped up for days at a time? You have probably seen that happen and you know the conse quences. Then just think of the sewer pipe in the human body getting stop ped up by constipation. Think of the foul gases kept in the system and the poison being absorbed by the blood and carried to every organ of the body. Do you wonder that the breath is foul, that there is always a bad taste in the mouth; that there are spliting headaches; that the appetite vanishes; that the weight falls away and nerves go all to pieces, the rest being broken at night? Do you wonder that the liver and kidneys become affected. Go the limit and get rid of constipation as soon as possible if you want to again enjoy good health. "I want every person suffering like myself to know that right In the city there is a medicine that will give splendid relief. Just as it did for me; that medicine is Dreco," said Mr. Charles A. MeLain, a well known em ploye of the American Seeding Co., who lives at 423 N. 16th St Richmond, Ind. "I have suffered years from consti pation and" never hit the right thing to overcome it till I found Dreco. My stomach was also deranged and failed to digest my food completely, for It fermented and caused nausea and gas tritis and gave me no strength. My liver got lazy so that I often had head aches and dizzy spells and soon my back and right over my kidneys ach ed, but these troubles are all gone since I took a treatment of Dreco. and I give all the credit to this medicine for my greatly improved condition; really it is a great medicine."

HPOE tOME VOU MlHT EAT THAT LAST Potato : MORE meat: HIGH MEETS ELKHART, MISHAWAKA QUINTETS ON NORTHERN JAUNT Richmond high school basketball team will invade the northern part of the state next Friday and Saturday, where they meet the Elkhart high school and the Mishawaka high school teams. These two games promise to show the real caliber of the red and white, as the northern schols are among the leading high school teams of the state. The men predict that they will return with a double victory under their belts. It is probable that Coach Null will take 10 men on this trip and will give all the men a chance to play in the games.- It is thought the following men will make the trip: Harkins, Lob man, Loehr, Rost. Green, Graffis, Brehm, Spaulding, Amick and Walls. The men are putting lots of pep into their practice and Loehr and Rost are setting a hot pace both in hitting the basket and covering the floor. They are expected to carry the brunt of the scoring. Harkins, who has been de cidedly off on hitting the basket, is gradually getting his eye back again, and with the offense working right, the northern quintets will find the local five a tough proposition to stop. Green, the big back guard, is holding down his position in fine shape and the opponents will find it a hard job get ting around the big boy. Practice will be held in the high school gym Wednesday night and on the Coliseum floor Thursday night. Coach Null has a stiff program planned for Wednesday, which will put the team in tip-top condition for the frays. BOXING TOURNAMENT. (By Associated Press i NEW YORK, Jan. 19.

BIG SALARY OFFERS MENACE SAYS MACK PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13. Tamper ing with the imagination of baseball players by offers of big salaries is the greatest menace the game faces in the opinion of Connie Mack, manger and part owner of the Philadelphia Americans. "First division teams" Mack said today, "think that whenever a star is developed all they have to do is ad vertise that they, will pay thousands of dollars for him and then double the salary he Is getting from his present club. To my mind that is the biggest menace baseball faces right now. Some of these first division clubs don't seem to realize it, and I think it will take some kind of a ruling by Judge Landis to get it through their heads. "Baseball is in better condition than it was ever, in my opinion, but this tampering with the imagination of the players of other clubs is a big evil." RETURN BOXING BOUTS.
