Games Today. n Wert at Richmond. Ulaffton at Kokomo. Portland at Decatur. Richmond 4; Van Wert 3. Our hitless wonders annexed another victory Saturday afternoon over the Van Wert aggregation despite the fact that the' Quakers got a frazzled start. The score was 4 to 3, all of the Buckeyes scores coming In the first round

ot play. After that it was easy sailing for "Crip" Jessup's pennant hunters

and the good sized half holiday crowd went home happy. Van Wert was really very generous, their six misplays helping us manfullyin fact with Portland's defeat boosting us to the top o the ladder once more. We didn't hit like demons by any means, but we did take advantage of everything thrown our way. There is no telling what might have been if one Wharton, a flaxen haired twirler, had been allowed to remain in command of the department of curves. The peaceful Quakers were steadily whetting their batting eyes for his'dellvery, but he was stabled, after two runs had been secured, and in the third inning Handsome Harry Hay essayed to deceive us. notwithstanding that he had officiated ineffectively the day previous. That Hay did not win his game, however, was not entirely due to his inability to prevent us from meeting the ball squarely. He allowed a lone hit, but unfortunately could not cover third base and centerfield in the third Inning and we chalked up another count. Again we rang up one in the seventh and that was the one that put the contest on ice. There again we were aided by some stupid playing, a dinky fly from Cameron's bat dropping safe

behind second base. A base on balls by Weaver, advanced James C. to second base, a pretty sacrifice by "Slug'' Morris, anchored the premier first sacker and then Cap. Jessup showed his knowledge of the game by poling a fly to center field, on which James C. crossed the tape without a whimper from the visitors. A misplay by Wiltermood and Ritter In the first inning not alone gave Van Wert a score, but came near putting Wiltermood in the hospital. As It was he went down for the count but was brought to terra firma through the agency of several dippers of pura aqua. Wiltermood was under Wolfe's fly, in fact had the ball in his hands, when Ritter butted in, flooring his side partner. The ball fell to the ground

and before it was recovered Kelly had raced home from second base. That was Van Wert's second score, the first one being made by Conklin, who got as far as second base on Fisher's error and came home on Kelly's hit. The third marker which Wolfe gets credit for, was earned by a squeeze play. "Tick" Conner, late from the land of alfalfa in Western Wayne, demonstrated that he has learned something since Joining us. The big boy was steadier than on previous appearances and really should have gotten away with a one score game. Our right garden was better tended to than on various other occasions. "Buck" Weaver making his debut to Quaker City fans. Weaver won a place in our hearts right suddenly. He acted about as catalogued, spearing two nice ones in his territory and pegging a hit. Weaver has every mark of a finished player, and there was not a fan but voted that Manager . Jessup struck a mighty blow for base ball In Quakerdom when he added "Buck" to the Richmond base ball association's pay roll. Official score:

Hagerstown, Ind., Aug. 3. The Hagerstown fair board has unanimously decided to retain Its organization and hold a fair next year. The weather thi3 year prevented all racing, and except for one day, Wednesday, no attempt was made to conduct the fair. In spite of the failure so far as attendance was concerned, the managers decided to pay all premiums and charges in full, and in order to do so drew from their own individual resources. Every bill was paid in full and so well pleased were the horsemen and exhibitors that practically all promised to return next year.

Jessup is anxious to have Fisher remain on third base in order that his Infield may be the same each game. In case Conner keeps up his encouraging work and Wentz makes goodi Fisher will play regularly at third and not be compelled to give it up occasionally and take his turn in the box. The head on collision pulled off by Ritter and Wiltermood in the first inning Saturday should be a lesson to them for the remainder of the season. Such plays are not only costly in runs but may prove injurious to the pla3rers. Conner's young wife watched his performance from the grandstand. She may well feel proud of her hubbie. "Buck" Weaver has all the actions of his brother "Jocko" with a few better points thrown in. "Buck" is fast as lightning on the bases and moves about in his field with graceful and finished actions. Umpire Thompson is well pleased with the prospects for base ball in Richmond. He thinks the local ball park is a splendid play ground and thus far likes the manner in which the crowd has accepted his decisions. It must be said for Thompson that he is the best Umps that has been seen here in years. Fleming will pitch for Richmond today. Game called at 3 o'clock.

Manager Jessup Saturday afternoon

received a telegram from President Kling, of the Indiana-Ohio league stating that Pitcher Wentz had been awarded to the Richmond club, but the

forfeited game at Van Wert Wednesday w'ould stand according to the umpire's ruling. Although pleased over getting Wentz Manager Jessup cannot understand the decision which President Kling has made. He thinks It is inconsistent.

He thinks that as Richmond's claim

to Wentz was good. Van Wert had no

right to attempt to use him. Jessup wants to play the game over and he will appeal to Kling with this object in

view. It may be that President Kling based his decision on the fact that Richmond refused to play at Van Wert instead of allowing the Ohio team to use Wentz under protest. In some leagues a fine of $100 is assessed against a manager for refusing to play when the umpire orders the game to proceed. Wentz will be ordered to report here and in case he does so will be given a try out. Manager Jessup says that Van Wert's claim to Wentz was a trumped affair. He declares the Jeter they claimed to have from the Wapakoneta pitcher was written on the van Wert ball diamond.
