TROLLtVSLAB EXPERT

Eagles' Southpaw Joins Richmond Central League Club Managed By Joe Evers.

BEDDOW AFTER COLLEGE STAR

Expects to Start Crack Collegian Against Moose At Athletic Park Sunday Afternoon—Other

Important Games.

Br Ralph H. White.

With the sivnlng of a Richmond Central league olub contract, -i^etty" Gilbert yesterday severed relations with the Trolley league and the Haglea will be compelled to rely on some other pitoher from

now

?uzsle

on until the flag falls.

Gillie, by the way, Ditched his first fame for Manager joe Brers yesterday afternoon and won, 2 to l, defeating Ft Wayne.

Manager Roy Beddow of the Eagles was lait. night in communication-with one of the best known college slab stars In the state and expects to start a

against the Moosev In Sunday's rolley tussle at Athletic park. The pitcher In question is said to have world of stuff, a good head and ambi tion. That last virtue ought to take him a long way and he is expected to be a winner in the Trolley. Beddow Is "also in" touch with three or four other players of repute and declares he will nave a winning ball club on the field Sunday .afternoon.

So it is with the Moose. Pete Shull's bunoh downed Brazil last Sunday, 2 to 11, and can't see the Eagles in their coming encounter. A stand pat policy prill jse, in vogue, with the Moose team last Sunday doing battle with the

will jse, in vogue, with the Moose team Of "last Sunday doing battle with the Eagles out at east side park tomorrow afternoon. Houck will do the twirling with Wilson behind the bat. Dinkle wi4l be back at first with Holt at seeon!!, Julian at short and Black at third. Ingthe outfield will be Becker. Snadden ana Wyatt.

Local fans intend taking in Sunday's gaSne if they nevei see another Trolley sec-to. And the fans are sadly divided, tod. Those who figure standings are strong for the Eagles, while others who have studied out the itval' lineups are lined up behind the Moose. Any way you take it, however, the contest i scertaln to be hard fought and exciting throughout. The game will be called promptly at 3 bells, providing, of course, i that it doesn't snow.

Parle at Unlvrfanl.

Trolley followers are interested in tlrfe Paris-Universal affair, to be staged at Universal. The league leaders are likely to give the Coal Miners a battle, but Dick Lark's t'and is composed of hitters and there may be an upset at any time. Corzetto. the Universal killer, or Ira Humphries will do the pitching for Jess McConchie's crew. Opposed will be Louis Qiovanini. Manager Lark has decided to use McKinney, pitcher, in the outfield Sunday because of his hit7 ting prowess. Last Sunday, McKinney exploded two doubles, a single itriB a homer In the Clinton game. Pretty good for a fttnger, no, yes?

The Clinton-Brazil mixup is another that should be hard fought and close from taw: td' ffftTsC" l^lng Wiir be asked to "spit" his way "to victory over Otto Hill's second placers. The southpaw has a swell assortment of slants and promises to cause the Brazil batsmen considerable trouble. Either Sisson or Ludwig will work on the firing line for the Clay crew.

Clinton will have a counle of new players In the lineup against Brazil and should put ,up a leal fight for victory. Lynch, shortstop, is one of the new players. He can go get them on either side, is a reliable hitter and a clever base runner. The dope around the circuit just now is Watch Clinton.

"DICK" RIDES HICKEY.

Tells "Calamity Howler" to Cut Out Petty Quarreling. PORT WAYNE, Ind., June 16.—"If President Hickey, of the American association, and President Tearney of the Three-I league are employed by their organizations to do ^everything In their power to damage base ball, they could Hardly better accomplish their purpose than they have done by their pessimistic and dyspeptic calamity howling," declared E. W. Dlckerson, who a few days ago resigned the presidency of ie Central league to become head of the Western league, in an Interview today. "There is nothing the matter with base ball except the commercial side, the petty quarrels amohg the magnates and the like which have no bearing upon the play Itself and it Is the latter alone which" concerns the fans," says Dlckerson. "If, the owners would quit wrangling long enough to Join In means of devising more Interest in the game, they could accomplish much."

According to the former Central lea"eader, this circuit is In better this season than ever before.

gue leader, this circuit is In better I Shape this season than ever before. "Attendances are good whenever the weather permits and never before has there been so much money back of the various clubs in the Central, a strong point In the league's favor," doclared
