THE RICHMOND PALLADIU3I AND S UX-TELEGKA31, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907.

FIRST STEPS WERE TAKEN TO ORGANIZE NEW BALL LEAGOE

Outlook for the Organization That Is to Include Richmond Appears to Be of a Most Promising Nature. MEETING WAS HELD AT INDIANAPOLIS FRIDAY. Another Called for Next Monday Evening at Muncie Richmond Probably Will Get A Game Every Sunday. Friday evening at the Star office in Indianapolis, Manager Frank Runyan of Bluffton, Manager Lewis Hunt of Portland and Manager R. B. Hubbard of Hartford City, met with A. R. Kllng. porting editor of the Star, and took the first steps toward organizing the Intfima-Ohlo league, which 13 to 'oe composed of the following town-? Richmond. Portland, Decatur, Hartford City. Bluff ton ard Van Wert. O. Next Monday evening at 8 o'clock, the managers of the proposed league will meet at the Hotet Delaware, Muncie, and complete arrangements for launching the league. At this meeting earn team will post 1100 guarantee to finish the season. A schedule will also he drafted, a president elected, and urn pires chosen ar-d other details of min or importance will be transacted. At the metlrj Friday evening Manager Lou Holthouse of Decatur was represented by Manager Runyan of Bluffton, Manager Jeasup of the Richmond team and the manager of the Van Wert team were prevented from attending the meeting by missing the interurban they were to take. A local newspaper man attended the meeting and assured the magnates that Rfch mond was all for the league and w?.s able to supply the information asked t him. Opens on July 28. The league season will open Sunday, July 2S. and will close Sunday, September 1.1. There is not the slightest doubt but that the league will be a go as the managers of the teams now proposed to be included in the circuit are enthusiastic about the organization and there are other independent teams already trying to break into the circuit. While the meeting was in session Friday there were long distance phones from Marion and Kokomo, each city asking to be included In the league. They were invited to be represented at the league meeting at Muncie Monday evening. ' Percentage of gate receipts for the home and visiting clubs was arranged for, an $800 a month salary limit decided on and a decision was reached to have each club manager draw up a schedule, which he will submit at the Muncie meeting. The most satisfactory schedule will be adopted. Expect Much Locally. .Bluffton and Van Wert do not play at home on Sundays and it Is probable that the local team will be at home nearly every Sunday during the season. Richmond is the largest city in the league and the managers all predicted that with fast league ball this city would be a gold mine, Richmond having the reputation as a good sporting town. On this account the man agers all agreed that Richmond should be favored to every extent in drawing up the schedule. The one holiday date during the league season is Labor Day. Manager Hunt asked to be scheduled in Richmond on that date. Bluffton and Decatur wanted to divide up the two games on this date between the two towns and Manager Hubbard of Hartford City, stated that he would like to have his team play in Van Wert on that date. This is probably the way the schedule on this holiday will be arranged. Mr. Kling stated that he thought league ball would increase the gate receipts in every town from thirty to forty per cent and all the managers agreed with him. Mr. Kllng is slated for the presidency of the league, and he will make a most efficient official. ELMER FLICK TO QUIT TEAM Internal Dissension Among the Cleveland Players. Cleveland, O., July 20 The an nounced retirement of Elmer Flick, leading batsman and outfielder of the JCaps. and the reported internal dis sensions among the other players have nearly brought matters to a cris is in the Cleveland club. It had been reported several days that Flick would quit the team after the Washington series next Tuesday, and Friday he cdnfirmed it. THREE HITS OFF OF MOORE. Wheeling Could Not Do Much His Delivery. With In the game between Wheeling and South Bend, Friday, stopped in the seventh by rain. Wheeling secured but three hits off Gene Moore, former Richmond pitcher. Moore is credited with two hits. CLOSE ONE TO BLUFFTON. Kid Hull Pitches and Combines Drop Game. Bluffton, Ind., July 20 Bluffton shut out Kokomo-Sharpsville for the secand straight time Friday by a score of 1 to 0: Kid Hull pitched his second shutout of the week.

BIG CRIMP WAS PUT III VAN WERT TEAM

Fleming, the Popular Twirlist, Held Buckeye Visitors Down to Three Hits. JESSUP'S STICK WORK. HE WAS THE HUMAN THIRTEENINCH GUN OF THE PROCEEDINGSVAN WERT BONE HEADED AT TIMES. (BY TORT.) RICHMOND 5; VAN WERT 1. The big crimp was placed on our guests from Van Wert, O., Friday af ternoon by the locals. N. Fleming, popular twirlist, was C. W. T. H., which is the abbreviated form for "crazy with the heat," and he held the Buckeyes down to three hits, incidently whiffing seven of them. Two of these hits combined with an error came In the second and netted the only count for the visitors. Van Wert sprung a southpaw battery on us, but it didn't make any difference. D. Bockwitz was the flinging end of this port-sided battery and he only permitted six hits to be garnered off him, but these six hits counted for cine bases and five runs. Three costly Van Wert errors also counted in the local's run getting. Manager Jessup was the human thirteen-inch gun of the proceedings. With his sturdy willow the little manager poled out two doubles, each one of which drove In a tally. He also played a brilliant fielding game. Mr. Ridgley of Fairmount, W. Va., made his debut at second base. Mr. Ridgley was chaperoned by N. Fleming, his old college chum. The young man look's promising. Ridgley fielded his position well, pulling off a sensational play by capturing a liner back of second, and got a single out of four times up. Minzler's play was also a feature of the game. Bone-Headed Work. Van Wert got off ever now and then some bone-headed work but all in all the eame was interesting and well played. Four of the locals' five runs came in the first. Ritter started the proceedings by receiving a hot drop on his bum pin. Cameron then sacrificed the rabbit to second. Along came Jessup and belted the ball over the center fielder's head for a double, Tilttpr. Wiltermood was VA ' passed to fir3t and Jessup pilfered thirrt Thfi manaeer and the boss slugger then pulled off a double steal While the Van Wert infield was con fining its efforts to running down Wiltermood, which they failed to do, jpssun sneaked out for home. Seeing the little manager under full steam fnr home Kellev hurled the ball to Hillinger, but it soared high over his head. This gave Jessup nis run ana Wiltermood a perch on second base. Ridgley then reached first on a Texas leaeuer. permitted by Alphonse-Gas-ton tactics on the part of F. Bockwitz and McCann. Wiltermood took third on this single and scored when Conklin muffed a throw of Hillinger's to catch "Grins" off his bag. Ridgley scored on Minzler's hard tap to Folley, who messed the play. This ended the pyrotechnics as Cunny breezed and Fisher skied to McCann. Last Run in Fifth. In the fifth with two down Cameron took first on a slashing single and scored on Jessup's second vicious double to left center. Score:

STIFF FIGHT MADE T THE PLAN 0 Property Owners and Residents of North E St. Present Remonstrances. IN FAVOR OF MACADAM. THEY DO NOT WANT BRICK OR CEMENT USED IN IMPROVEMENT FROM TENTH TO SIXTEENTH STREETS. Two remonstrances against brick or cement paving materials for .North E between Tenth and Sixteenth streets, has been filed with the board of public works, and are signed by every property owner along the street, including both the manufacturers and residents. Not In a legal sense being property holders on North E street, the manufacturers presented a separate petition while the residents presented another. The same objections that have been presented time and time again by the manufacturers particularly, are ex pressed along with the remonstrances Both the manufacturers and the res idents want a good grade of macadam placed along the street between Tenth and Sixteenth, the work to be done at the city's expense. A few of the manufacturers however have expressed a willingness to stand an assessment for the improvement of the street with macadam, rather than see the brick placed along the street, maintaining that brick streets would ruin horses pulling heavy loads over the affected portions. One manufacturer stated that the materials used in the manufacture of his output and the output itself, were very heavy, and the horses would strain themselves while pulling loads over the brick pavement, stating that it was much harder for a horse to pull on the brick and keep from falling than It was on a good grade of macad am streets. All Favor Improvement. Not one resident along E street be tween Tenth and Sixteenth streets objects to improvement of the street; in fact, they all agree that some sort of an improvement should be made, but think macadam would be better than either cement or brick, the two kinds of paving material favored by the board of works. The board cannot now proceed with the work, and the matter will be presented to the council by President Mer rill at its next meeting, August 5. If the council decides that the street shall be bricked or cemented, it will be done. In an effort to offset any such decision. It Is highly probable that the manufacturers will select a representative or appear in a body to fight council's approval of such paving material. The board of works will give the matter no further thought until action is taken by council. LONG GAME AT FRANKFORT. A. B. C.'s Battle for Thirteen Innings In Hard Contest. Frankfort, Ind., July 20 The hardest-fought, closest and most sensational ball game of the season was played on the local grounds Friday between the A. B. C. colored team of Indianapolis and the Frankfort team. The unusual features were so numerous that the crowd was prepared for anything. The most remarkable feat ure was that the colored men could not get a hit off Malicoat until after one man was down in the eleventh, and during that time Frankfort had scored but three hits off Griffin. The game was called at the end of the thirteenth on account of darkness without either side scoring. HAGERSTOWN-NEW CASTLE A Good Ball Game l Promised Sunday Afternoon. for Hagerstown, Ind., July 20 The base ball boys of this place have arranged for a good game of ball at the L. I. C.

and Two of Her Benefactors.

Columbus, Ind., July 20 Members of the Beard of Children's Guardians today located little Jennie Carter, who was kidnaped from Mercy Hospital Thursday by her mother. She was found at Lawrenceburg. It was reported that when the mother took the child she had been met just outside the city by a strange woman, and that together they had driven to Elizabethtown, where they boarded a train for STORY OF TWO DUELS. A Sword Thrust, a Bullet Wound and an Extraordinary Sequel. When dueling was an actual factor in the social order of this country It had many worthy and notable expo nents, including no less distinguished personages than Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, De Witt Clinton, Stephen Decatur and others of the same type, but nowhere on this continent was it so much an established institution as In that peculiarly romantic old city of New Orleans. It was woven into the very fabric of the life of the community, and many a crumbling tombstone In the antiquated Creole cemeteries bears grim and silent witness to the fact, though to understand the situation more clearly one should breathe, so to speak, tbe atmosphere of the period. M. Augustin, who afterward became a district judge and general of the Louisiana legion, was the victor in several encounters in which the temper of the period caused him to be engaged. One In particular is noteworthy on account of the part it played in an extraordinary freak of fortune. Alexander Grailhe was the offending party, though the insult, or, rather, provocation, for gentlemen seldom insulted, would in tbia day be of ecant concern. But some cause of action was present, and each was sure that a deadly meeting would certainly roiiow. They rode together in a car riage with ladles, who, after the duel, commented on their mutual affability during the entire trip, which only serves to show how delicately adjusted was the code of etiquette, especially in the presence of ladies. They fought at The Oaks, and as Boon as the weapons had been crossed and the impressive "Allez, messieurs," pronounced Grailhe, who was high strung and hot blooded doubly so under the stress of what he regarded as a grievous provocation lost his temper and furiously charged his antagonist. Augustin, on the contrary, was cool, collected and agile, parrying each savage thrust until by a temps d'arret (sudden pause), judiciously Interpolated Into a vicious lunge of Grailhe's, he pierced him through the chest. Grailhe, with one of his lungs perforated, remained for a long time hovering between life and death, and when at last he did come out of his room he was bowed like an octogenarian. It was now only a question of time for the wounded man, as an Internal abscess had formed where it could not be reached surgery then was not what it Is now and the doctors despaired of saving him. Some time after he had been up and about a quarrel with Colonel Mandeville de Marigny resulted in his challenging that distinguished citizen. This duel was also fought at The Oaks, but as Grailhe was too weak to do himself justice with a sword the weapons chosen were pistols, at fifteen j paces, each to have two shots, advance five paces and fire at will. At the first shot, fired simultaneously, the unfortunate man fell forward, pierced by his adversary's bullet, which had entered the exact place of his former and yet unhealed wound. Marigny, with pistol In hand and as placid as a marble statue, advanced to the utmost limit marked out, when Grailhe, who was suffering greatly, exclaimed: "Fire again. You have another shot." With grave dignity Marigny raised his pistol above bis head and fired into the air, saying with frigid politeness, "I never strike a fallen foe." More dead than alive, the stricken duelist was carried home by his frienda and consigned to the care of his physicians; but. instead of sinking rapidly, as was expected, be really began to mend and by the following morning was much improved. The ball had penetrated to the abscess which had threatened his life and made an exit for Its poisonous accumulations. Some time afterward be walked out of his room as erect as ever and soon regained his health and stately bearing. Century Magazine. Psychology of Gambling.

man speciiiiitt uy staking, say, 1 on the chance of winning 100. observes an Cnglish writer in Nature, the notion of winning 100 makes a big Impression on his mind and weans something more real to him than the idea that the odds are 200 to 1 against him, say. He forms a clear mental picture of the prize, and tbe odds do not present the same picture to his mind. Consequently, he exaggerates his prospects. Appropriate.

WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND

All the Horror of Change of Life Tor Five Years. Leucorrhea for Ten Year. USED ZOA-PHORA After Physician Failed to Cure. That Was Five Years Ago. Still Praising Zoa-Phora. Woman's best friend is one that w ill give her the degree of buoyant health and strength that nature intended for her. Zoa-Phora Is that friend. Not a "patent cure all. but just a medicine, scientifically prepared for women only. One that acts directly on the diseased organs through the blood and nervous system, replacing the old worn-out tissues with new. and removing congestion, inflammation and unnatural discharge. Zoa-Phora is the well woman's friend too. because it Keeps her well. Mrs. Edwin Lee, of Addison. Michigan, says: "Pen and ink can never tell what Zoa-Phora has done for me. It is indeed a true and tried friend and has never failed me once." Whether vou are sick, ailing, or well, keep a Viottle of Zoa-Phora In the house all he time. It will prove a friend la need. Mrs. Alice Brown, of Valley Junc tion, la., wrote on May 27. li2, "I wish to tell you that Zoa-Phora has been a wonderful blessing to me. I have been a sufferer for the last ten years from leucorhea, and for the last five years with change of life and all its horrors. I took treatment from local physicians in Elkhart. Ind., but received no benefit. Finally I was Induced to begin taking Zoa-Phora, and after tthlng four bottles my health is restored. I can now do my S (S ISA K A MRS. ALICE BROWNv' Valley Junction, la. own work, and can never thank you enough for the benefits derived from your wonderful remedy." On April 22, 10O7, nearly five years later, Mrs. Brown, writes, "You may still refer any woman to me. I will gladly recommend Zoa-Phora." Does this not prove that the benefit was permanent? This letter is strong proof of the merit of Zoa-Phora. The only way that you can become positively con vlnced that Zoa-Phora will do as much for you Is to try the medicine yourself. Go to your druggist and ask him for Zoa-Phora; no other explanation will be needed. You will receive the medicine already prepared, compounded in just the right proportions, and put up in a sealed, sterilized, one dollar bottle. In each package will be found a copy of "Dr. Pengelly's Advice to Women," a medical book giving Interesting and Instructive Information about all dis eases of women and the way to successfully treat them. You can now treat yourself in the privacy of your own home and need not tell your trouble to any one.
