FLEMING GOT BEST
OF GOOD CONTEST
Pitchers' Debate at Athletic
Park Resulted in Favor Of Nervy Nat.
RITTER THE SENSATION.
PORTLAND OUTFIT DEFEATED
IN A GOOD CONTEST, TWO TO
ONE LOCAL LINEUP IS MUCH STRENGTHENED.
(By Tort.) . Richmond 2; Portland, .1.
After four days of baseball famine
the locals, with a much strengthened
lineup, jumped upon Mr. Hunt's Port
land organization Friday at Athletic
parlr and sent that outfit to the mat
with a 2 to 1 defeat It was a pretty
pitchers' debate between Fleming and
Bnnilne. and hits were as scarce as
Strawberries in Greenland. Mr.
Fleming was exceedingly cold and stin
trv. allowing the visitors only three
singles, and hot one of these came until
the sixth Inning, when Nat of Fair-
mount allowed two of them to be bunched on him. Fast support by his
pals prevented them resulting in runs
Romlne was touched up quite lively the
first four innings when all of the five local hits were made. After the fourth the ex-Dunkirk twirler was as close
as the next second. Ritter the Sensation.
Mr. T. Ritter furnished the sensation of the contest. The first ball pitched
in the first inning by Mr. Romlne, was met on the bazlz by the Rabbit's
8hillalah. It drooped languidly into
right center and looked good for a sin
gle. With his gasoline tank working
overtime, the Rabbit circ-ed first and second bag3 and continued right on for the third station, which he reached by sliding through the perspective. The Portland fielders were dumbfounded by the crust of the wee center fielder, and the ball was noC retrieved to third nntil the Rabbit was safely lodged there. The sun gods, as a result of RItter's Texas league three bagger gurgled tack talk and bit at each other. The three batsmen that followed Tommy, died easy deaths, so his three bagger netted nothing. Lineup Is Improved. . The new lineup presented by Manager Jessup, looked sweet. FJsher continued his grand third base "play and incidentally accumulated two clean hits. Morris was at shortstop and while he failed to do anything with the stick, his fielding was clean cut and was applauded by the populace. Little Minzler was on dity at second and he covered that territory as neatly as he does the short field. RIdgely displaced Cunningham in right, but he had no work to do in the sun garden, and he did no execution with the bat Not Fleming's Fault. . The lonesome Jay tally was no fault of Fleming's. . It came In the third through errors. Parker got a life by Cameron dropping, an assist. Parker then started out to pilfer second and Jessup, to catch him, made a heave that went a mile over Morris's head. Ritter rushed in to block the ball but allowed it to get awayfrom him. Before the ball was returned to the Infield Parker was across the pan. Wlltermood killed the only other chance Portland had to score. .In' the sixth, with the bases jammed with palpitat
ing Jays, whose eyeballs were strained toward the plate like famished canines In a butcher shop. Jonts Bambraugh
came to bat and poled a single to left Wlltermood came In on the drive
trapped the ball and by a perfect throw
caught Grey six feet off the pan. Thi
made two outs and the side wa3 retired
when Carmony popped to Minzler. Made a Double Steal.
The first tally by the Quakers came
in the fourth. Wlltermood drew his
base, Minzler sacrificed him and Ridge
ly breezed. Fisher then came to the
rescue with a line drive to right
bringing Wlltermood home. In the
fifth, with Cameron on first and RIt
ter on third, a double steal was pulled
off, sending Ritter over the pan with
the winning run. The score:

BASEBALL GOSSIP. (By Tort.)
Richmond and Portland are playing again this afternoon, the game being called at 3:30 o'clock. Conner probably is working for the locals. The opening games of the Indiana-
Ohio league takes place Sunday. Bluffton will be the attraction in Richmond. Portland plays at Kokomo and Van Wert at Decatur. Bluffton has been hitting -a hot pace the last two weeks and the locals will have to work
hard to take them into camp. Bluff-
ton will be the attraction here Monday. Shortstop Stewart, of the defunct
Dunkirk team, states that he intends to give up baseball and return to his home. Manager Jessup asked him to

step, and the fast little player has promised to be here Sunday. It is
possible that he may be persuaded to
play with the locals. It is also probable that Pitcher Hay will come along with Stewart.
Ora Dunbar, manager of the Centerville base ball team, wishes to enter a
protest against the claim made by the
Dublin correspondent of the Palladium
come to Richmond before taking this tbat in the Greys, Cambridge City has
the fastest amateur team in the coun
ty. Dunbar states that Centerville
can give the Grays a run for the money
any time. He says that six weeks ago
Centerville defeated the Grays at Cam
bridge City to the tune of 14 to 4 and that the Center township representatives can repeat the trick. Dunbar ac
cuses the Grays of being afraid to take

Centerville game, the manager of the
Grays promised a return date in Cen
terville within two weeks, but he says.
that this date has never been filled. Dunbar states that if the Grays will play Centerville on the Centerville di
amond his team will once more demonstrate that it is the fastest amateur
outfit in the county. Centerville will give the Grays a date any time after August 4. Centerville has played eight games up to date. Six have resulted in victories. The first gajie of the season was lost to the Q. & B. team of Richmond, and on July 4, one of the two games played with Campbellstown was lost. Sunday Centerville will play the Gettysburg team at Centerville. Dunbar states that if a Sunday league composed of county towns i3 organized, Centerville would like to be included in the circuit.
THREE CLUBS ENTERED
Bull Durham, ex-Quaker and alleged
home run swatter, failed to show much
class Friday. Bull
single, drew a base and died on two
easy chances. Durham just hates to
play here, he says, because the local bugs will roast him for jumping to
Portland. Never mind, Bull, that has been so long ago that all of us have nearly forgotten who you are.
Sunday will be an auspicious date in
local baseball circles. On this date Richmond's first league team will
ixe its Dow to tne puDiic and it is
expected the largest crowd of the season will be on hand. Richmond should draw from 2,000 to 3,000 people
each Sunday.
Morri3 says his long layoff has
dimmed his batting eye, but that he
will have It tuned for the fray this afternoon. He has made a bet that he
will get a two base hit. You can make six doubles without making us peevish, George. Go to it.
Manager Jessup figures that he will
have to beat Portland for the I.-O.
league pennant. After the game Friday Manager Jessup ordered the bus driver to keep ahead of the Portland conveyance. He wants to lead that outfit in everything from start to the wire.
A Sunday league of Wayne county
:lubs would be a move In the right di
rection. There are some mighty fast
amateur organizations in Wayne county and the teams are well supported. A six-club league would be advisable, with the following teams to pick from
Cambridge City, New Lisbon, Cen
terville, Dublin, Hagerstown, Greensfork and the Q. fc B. of Richmond. Let the managers of these teams meet some evening at the Palladium office
and launch the league. The supporters of these teams would appreciate
such action.

Indiana Horse Could Do Better Than Second.

Detroit, Mich., July 27 The third day of the Blue Ribbon meeting was well attended, but the crowd was not up to the holiday proportions of
Thursday, when the $10,000 stake was on the card. The feature race of the day was the Consolation race for hors
es who failed to win money in the Chamber of Commerce Stake on Tuesday. As was the case in the main event, the Indianapolis pacer, Dan S, driven by Ed Geers, was installed favorite, selling at even money against the field, but the son of Grevstone
again disappointed his backers and had to be content with second money, the race going to the Cleveland horse Shaughran in time disappointingly-
slow for horses of supposedly high
class, as the track was In the best of

CALLING IN PARIS;
The Concierge Is a Peculiar Institu ticn -In Several Ways.
You leave your card at tbo door of the person to whom you desire to present yourself, and there it Is taken iu charge by that peculiarly French functionary, the concierge, says Professor Barrett Wendell in Scribner's. At least in rail, the greater part of French people live in large houses containing a number of apartments with a common entrance and staircase. Close to the entrance door, on the level of the street, are some stufTy little rooms inhabited by the concierge, or porter, with his family. Their duty, among other things, is to keep strict watch on whoever goe in or out, and at least one of them, often the porter's wife or half grown daughter, is always at hand. The chief peculiarity of their temperament seems to be insatiable appetite. At whatever hour of day or evening you call on a concierge you are sure to find somebody eating or just risen from table, and the atmosphere Inhabited by this bustling personage seems immortally laden with the fumes of something recently boiled. No mctter whether you call on a friend who lives in some unpretentious out of the way place or on one who Inhabits something like a palace, the concierge is always alout the same. You can detect little difference between those in charge of important doors and of insignificant. They are as like as house riles. Of course there are private houses In Paris, with regular domestic servants such as you would find anywhere, but these, grand or simple, are so unusual that you remember the concierge as everywhere standing between you and further human intercourse. In response to your card, which the concierge duly sees delivered, comes a card, often with a note, in return. If, as Is generally the case, this acknowledgment of your existence contains an intimation of when your French acquaintance may be found at home, either habitual or for your special benefit, you make your second visit at this appointed time and thus enter into real personal relations. Otherwise, your intercourse has limited itself to a polite exchange of cards. Generally speaking, you never expect or attempt to see French people socially except -when they have asked you to one of their regular days of reception or have madu a definite appointment. To tall on a person at any other time to do more than leave your card with the concierge would be an intrusive pretense to intimacy.

The Value of Diamonds.
- The value of the diamond is at so
much per carat, and up to a certain limit the value per carat increases as the size of the stone increases. When
a carat diamond is quoted at ?125, a
diamond weighing a half a carat is
counted at the rate of $75 per carat, three-quarter carat diamonds at $100 per carat, one and one-quarter carat diamonds at $140 per carat, one and one-half carat diamonds at $150 per carat, one and three-quarter carat diamonds at $1S0 per carat, and two carat stones at $2G0 per carat. Stones weigh
ing more than two carats sell at about
the same rate as that quoted for two
carat stones, and do not increase as rapidly owing to the more limited de-
maud for the larger sized stones. New York Herald.
To Calculate Longevity. "Bacon took a deep Interest in longevity and its earmarks," said a rhysieian, "and Bacon's signs of long life and of short life are as true today as they ever were. You won't live long. Bacon" pointed out, if you have soft, fine hair, a fine skin, quick growth, large head, early corpulence, short neck, small mouth, brittle and separated teeth and fat ears. Yomr life, barring accidents, will be very lengthy if you have slow growth, coarse hair, a rough skin, deep wrinkles In the forehead, firm flesh, a large mouth, wide nostrils, strong teeth set close together and a hard, gristly ear."

President Hopkins, of Williams cob
lege, raises the question whether it is wise for. the small college to grow or to restrict its growth. Ths same question has been brought up before at other colleges, and even the arts department of Chicago university has considered the advisability of arbitrarily limiting its students. President Eliot once remarked that the effective coltege unit, of a college as distinguished from a university, was five hundred students. Apparently the question no longer is whether there is a place for the small college, but how the small college shall be kept small. New York Tribune.
