JUMPED Oil CONNER

FOR ELEVEN HITS Decatur Pennant Chasers Showed Decided Fondness For Tick's Pitching. THREE THREE-BAGGERS. POOR FIELDING ON THE PART OF THE LOCALS ALSO ASSISTED THE VISITORS TO TAKE THE CONTEST. (By Tort.) Decatur 7; Richmond, 3. At Athletic park Saturday afternoon. Cap Behrlnger and his Decatur pennant chasers Jumped on Tick.. Conner, who is on parole from Dublin, Ind., and chased the big fellow about the lot until his tongue pot sunburned. Out In the supper leasee from which Tick graduated, the big fellow was famous for his rural free delivery hut Decatur did things to it Saturday. Mr. Conner was combed for eleven hits, three of them three baggers. This combined with sloppy fielding; on the part of the locals gave the visitors a 7 to r victory and incidentally put a crimp in our lead for the big blue streamer. 11 Ik Cy Alberts, erstwhile Central League twirUst of note, was in the box for Decatur, and he was touched up at a lively rate by the Quakers, eight hits being made off him, but fast, work in the field on the part of the Commodores, kept the locals from nosing out the game. Neither pitcher is credited with a strike out and the game was, as the score shows, one of those good old fashioned blff-fests which kept the crowd interested from start to finish. With the game 7 to 2 against us at the last chapter of the eighth inning, our demons, led by the ever reliable Jim Cameron, started a rally which would probably have tied up the game had It not been for an unfortunate slip made by Minsler off third base. As it was, three runs were pounded in. In the ninth another rally was attempted, but the assault was repulsed by the desperate Decatur defense. Story of the Game. In the first Behringer poled a hot infie!- hit and scored on Wiltermood's muff of a long fly, which miscue came after two were down. In our half of the flrst'Alberts planted the ball In Hitter's anatomy and the Rabbit scored from second on Weaver's beautiful hit, which came after Cameron had sacrificed Ritter to second. The Quakers took the lead in the second. Weaver again figuring In the count. Stokes lead off with a single and was advanced to third on outs by Morris and Je&diip. Wiltermood got his base oh balls and immediately started a successful double steal with Weaver. After Stokes crossed the pan Wiltermood was run to death between first and second. The visitors counted one run each in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.. These runs resulted from errors by Fisher and Morris and by good, solid swats. In the eighth both pitchers received ! H?

fearful lambastings. With one down, Wallace singled and counted on Witham's fluke three bagger. Winger was retired at first, then Witham was sent home on Albert's vicious three base hit to deep left center. Alberts scored on Behringer's single. This ended the Decatur eruption. Richmond started pin wheels in Its half of the eighth. Cameron singled, Weaver got his base on balls and both counted when Jessup drove out a sharp single. Jessup advanced to second on Wiltermood's out at first and counted on a single by Minzler. Fished lined out a hard drive which the Pewee tried to reach home under.

BASEBALL GOSSIP. (By Tort.) Jim Cameron, the crack first baseman of the locals, announced Saturday evening that he intends to quit the team and return to his home in Rhode Island. Jim states that he has nothing against Richmond. He says that his father has been in very ill health and as he has not seen him for three years he thinks it best to return home. "The base ball season will not close until sometime in October and the polo season opens in November so I think that I will auit the team about August 15 and return to my home," Cameron stated. If Cameron cannot be persuaded to remain here it will be a hard blow to the team. Cameron is a favorite with the fans, having won their friendship by his hard hitting and excellent field ing. He is always in the game with the ginger box wide open and there is no first baseman in the league that is any where near his equal as an all around player. Umpire Hicks, formerly first baseman on Rab Hare's Lebanon team, may be signed by the locals in case Cameron leaves. Hicks 13 a splendid fielding first baseman but is a little shy on stickwork. Hicks states that he would not be an umpire for a barrel of "the necessary." He has received an offer from one of the clubs in the Michigan league but he says that if Manager Jessup wants him he would probably play here. "Rlch-

DECATUR STAYS FOR THIRD OF SERIES

Plan to Have Kokomo Play Here Today Changed by President Kling. EXPECTING A BIG CROWD. THERE IS GREAT INTEREST IN THE LEAGUE EVENTS AND THE MID-WEEK CROWDS HAVE BEEN LARGE. Richmond 8 Portland 8 Decatur 7 Kokomo 6 Bluffton 4 Van Wert 4 Games Sunday. Decatur at Richmond. Bluffton at Portland. Van Wert at Kokomo. .567 .616 .583 .462 .364 .307 5 7 7 9 Decatur Plays Agam. Kokomo, as was announced Saturday in the Palladium, will not play here this afternoon. Manager Jessup received word from President Kling Saturday afternoon rhat arrangements had been made for Kokomo to have the use of its park on Sunday so the scheduled game between Kokomo and Van Wert will be played off at the former city and Richmond will tie up with Decatur as per schedule. Indications point to the fact that the biggest crowd of the season will witness the game between Richmond and Decatur this afternoon. The attendance at the two games played here between these two teams Friday and Saturday has been very large and the greatest Interest is being taken in the series. Richmond. Portland and Decatur are now. making a pretty fight for the top rung of the championship ladder. mond looks as if it would be a good place to play in," Hicks remarked. Laxon Joins Dunkirk. Pitcher Laxon, late of Lebanon, reported Saturday to Manager Behringer of the Decatur team. Laxon was badly wanted by Manager Jessup but he states that he never received any of the messages Jessup sent to him. "If I had received them I suppose I would have joined the Richmond team," Laxon stated. He will probably work against the Quakers this afternoon. Casey Horn Is Signed. Casey Horn has signed to play with the locals. Friday the big fellow decided to accept the terms offered him and the pitching staff now looks fairly strong. Horn may be sent in against Decatur this afternoon but the chances are that Fleming will be worked. Manager Jessup wired to Arnet Cole, a Columbus, O., semi-professional pitcher, to join the locals but he wired back that it would be impossible for him to report until August 15. Conner Not Fast Enough. It "was again demonstrated Saturday that Tick Conner is not fast enough for the company he Is tra. ellng in. The big fellow seems to have nothing but a fast, "wide out and Decatur had no trouble straightening them out Saturday. Fisher's Hard Task. Fisher made three errors Saturday. Its a wonder that he does not make more. The crack curley headed player holds down third one day and then pitches the next. As a result he does not have a chance to Tecome familiar with either position. Tacks . with a good team back of him would make a good pitcher he demonstrated this fact Friday. Morris should be shifted back to third base, where he is perfectly at home, and a good hard hitting shortstop should be secured. This would allow Fisher to confine all his efforts to the pitching department. Van Wert Won't Trade Hay. Manager Jessup has been trying to put through a trade with Van Wert. He has offered Wentz for Hay but was greatly disappointed Saturday when the Van Wert management stated they would not consider the deal. Hay wants to play with Richmond and Wentz is equally anxious to join Van wert. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY. UPERIOR I

FIRST ROUND OF GOLF WAS PLAYED SATURDAY Interesting Sport Witnessed At Country Club.

RESULTS OF THE CONTESTS The first round for the goif championship of the Country club was played Saturday afternoon on the club links. Although rather warm, the clay generally was a good one for the sport and the play was wltnessefi by several people. No sensational scores were made by any of the entries, but steady, consistent golf was played during all the matches. From the manner in which the men "sashayed" over the links Saturday afternoon. St is very hard to pick the" ultimate winner, according to reports coming from the scene of battle. In the matches played. Dr. C. S. Bond defeated Geo. Seidel one up Dudley Elmer forfeited to E. P. Trueblood; Hutton defeated Wickham Corwin; Will Dill trounced J. Y. Pouik! stone; J. F. Thompson "hung it on' Wilson; Ed Hill triumphed over Howard Dill, while George Bond cut capen In scandalous fashion. winnfr from F. L. Torrence. It appears that the" matches were so exciting that th scorer, forgot to attend strictly to bus iness. and for this reason the Falladi um cannot this morning publish the scores of the matches. The next round in the club championship race will be played next Saturday, winners playing winners. Thifc round Is looked forward to with particular interest, as much brilliant playing is predicted. JOHN W. GATES WILL EMULATEJICK CHOKER Famous Horseman to Remove To England. WILL RACE EXTENSIVELY Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 10. John W. Gates is to make his future home in England, where, like Richard Croker, he will live the life of a country 'squire, with a large racing establish ment to give play to his love of tlie sport and speculation. Mr. Gates will lease some largo country place in England for hi home, but will establish a large train ing establishment at Newmarke heath under the direction of "Boots' Durnell and will purchase a larg' string of horses in training and youm horses in gangland. Durnell will be in full charge of the racing and betting operations of the millionaire. Little E. Dugan, the most promising jockey in the country, will ride for Gates in England. The stable will depend largely upon him for its success. It is said that Gates will retain citizenship in the United States and that his son probably will represent him here, but that he seldom will favor the country with a visit. KOKOMO GOT A TIGHT ONE. Pretty Pitchers' Battle Witnessed In Saturday's Game. Kokomo, Ind., Aug. 10. In a tjght game which had snap and ginger In it, Kokomo defeated Van Wert at Athletic park today by a score of 2 to 1. It was a pitchers' battle and Grimes and Hay won honors royal. The goose eggs were handed out fifeely until the last half of the sixth Inning when Bun ny Hare scored after knocking a threebagger. Orr first discovered Hay's underhand twisters in the fifth inning, and laid one out In the field, and while Grimes sent him to third on a bunt the side went out with Orr on third base. He brought up the score in the seventh inning, however, by running in defiance of all hazards of the game. An error by Wharton on third saved him, and he landed safely at the plate amid shouts that shook the grand stand. Kokomo played the first errorless game of the season.
