"P' AY BULL" THE NEXT POPULAR CR! Tncflana-Ohio League Season Opens Tuesday at Huntington and Van Wert. JESSUP IS CONFIDENT.

THINKS HIS COLTS ARE ABOUT THE BEST IN THE ENTIRE CIRCUITPITCHING STAFF IS A STRONG ONE.

(By Tort.) Tuesday the I- O. league "umps" will bawl nut "play b-a-a-1" and the reason of 1008 will be on. Richmond will open at Van Wert for a throe pnmes series while Muncio will open at Huntington- The schedule rails for Muncie to, open at home, but owing to the fact that the grounds at Crolley park are not yet ready for use the Huntinfton-Muncie sanies for May .", r, and "1. have been transferred to Huntington. Y$n Wert is maMnjr big preparations for the opening game and it is expected that the largest crowd that eVor attended a game in hat city will be out Tuesday to witness the Quakers and the Huckeyes give battle. f There will be an automobile parade to the grounds. While the teams are warming up, a brass band will tear off a few selections then when "his nmps" gives the signal, the mayor of the city will heave the first ball over or in the direction of the plate. Mr. Shinn is expected to strike wildly at this ball and miss it a foot. Brown is the farthest advanced of the local pitching staff and Manager .lesKiip will probably select him to pitch Tuesday. Brown will be opposed either by Manager Hunt or Wagner, who is in grand form, having had the advantage of working out this spring In the south. Both the Richmond and Van Wert teams have suffered from lack of practice the past week owing to the (old, rainy weather but. this, it is thought, will not be a very great handicap. "I am well pleased with the team 1 now have," states Manager .lessup, and I fail to see where any other team in the league has anything on us. In Brown, Mason. Fleming, Areemith and Conner I have a pitching staff which I am confident Is the best tn the league. Now take the infield. Can any team show a better quartet t nan Burns, Parker. Bambraugh and Bauinann? The outfield, which at first looked weak, now shows up with the best. Hurst, Cameron and Shinn w ill make them all hustle." Manager .lessup will do the bulk of the catching and It Is well known that, he has It on any other backstop in the league. The two teams will probably lineup as follows: Richmond Van Wert Burns First Base ....Carmony Parker.... Second Base ....Gregory Bambaugh... Third Base ....Conklin Baumann.... Short Stop ....Stewart Shinn l,eft Held dray Hurst Center Field ....Durham Cameron ....Right Field ..Bambaugh .lessup Catcher Harden Brown Titcher Hunt i lemin Pitcher Wagner

HUNTINGTON IS READY. League Season to Be Given Auspicious Opening. Huntington, lnd.. May 2. Secretary Carl Willis of the Huntington base ball association announced today that extensive preparations are under way to give the I. O. base ball season in Huntington an auspicious opening when Muncie appears in this city Tuesday next. A city band will be engaged to head a procession of the Huntington and Muncie teams, league and association officials, city officials and members of the proposed Huntington Rooter club. The line of march has not yet len decided upon, but it will include most of the main downtown streets. At league park. Mayor D. C. Anderson will be invited to attempt to twirl the first ball somewhere near the home plate. Members of the Huntington ball team will be presented in person before the fans for the identification of those who are not already acquainted with the local warriors on Manager Jack Smith's tribe of Miamis. It Is probable that the two teams will lineup as follows: Huntington Muncie Kendall First Base Wills Strands Second Base Zellers Wltham Third Base Wise Bergrwald . . . . Short Stop Foster Smith left Field tiillis Donovan.... Center Field Hall Valanti Right Field Farman Rader Catcher Wolfe Wentz Pitcher Hay Goshorn Pitcher Biltr Trough . Pitcher Dix A Noisy Operation. A noted English suffragist was describing at a dinner a very disorderly suffragette meeting. "The noise." she said, "can only be likened to the hubbub that I once heard coming from the nursery of a friend with whom I Tvas taking tea. Terrified by this infernal turmoil, my friend and I burst Into the nursery breathless. The children, in a close group by the window. th baby In the middle, looked up calmly. " "What on earth are you doing?" the mother demanded. "We'Te found. said the oldest bov, poor grandma's teeth, and we're filing them down and fitting them on the

Affairs of the

(By Tort.) Well, everything is ready for the big league opening. Our pets play three days at Van Wert, then open here next Friday with Muncie for three game. Rah, rah. rah. This afternoon the locals will give battle to the Dayton Shilohs at Athletic park. Jim Cameron will play his first game with the locals. The city lf-aguf was to have opened yesterday, but both games were postponed on account of cold weather. Eas,t haven was to have played the Hoosier Drills, while the Kibbeys and the Starr Pianos were to have locked horny. Karlham took the Miami tennis players yesterday both in the singles and in the. doubles, in the singles Beebe, of Earlham. defeated Anthony, of Miami. In the doubles Campbell and 1 1 ol lings worth. I'ailhani. defeated Anthony and Robinson. Miami. This afternoon the V Z team will play the fa.-t. Boston team on the hitter's grounds. A mouse took possesssion of the grand stand at Reid held yesterday afternoon during the track meet, an-d j for about five minutes the proceedings were interrupted by the shrieks of the fair co-eds, who were about to stampede, when a .small boy captured the badly frightened mouslet. Yesterday Manager .lessup released Outfielder Hedjuk and Pitcher Branson. Both men have made an excellent showing and would fit in well on anyClass I) league team. Manager .lessup had no room for them, and he wa.s obliged to let them go. Assertions of Richmond fans about ante-season league games are not countenanced in Huntington. Practice games give the teams the go. and are necessary to put the players in condition for a hard campaign. Rich CAMBRIDGE GRAYS PLAY AT CONNERSVILLE Fans Accompany Team There Today. Cambridge City. Ind.. May 2.-- The Grays will go to Connersville Sunday to try and pull one over on the Connersville aggregation. In this game the Grays will be lined up against the fastest bunch it has ever met, but the team is no quitter and it expects to play from start to finish and makes the game interesting for its opponents. A special train will leave the I,. K. & W. station at 1 o'clock p. m. to carry the local fans and many admirers of the Grays. Returning, the train will leave Connersville at f,::iO p. m. The I-.it.tle Giants are scheduled to meet the Connersville Junior team here Sunday morning at the E. K. & W. ball park. Game called at 'J: 30 o'clock.

mond's ideas v.-ill be compared after the teams meet Jessup's men. Huntington Herald. Benny Yanger. who was one of the best little fighters in the business several years ago. has quit the ring and now intends' to take up the wrestling game. He and Eddie Tancel. another fighter of Chicago, have been signed up for a wrestling bout to be decided in Chicago on May 7. They will wrestle for a side bet of Sl. and the entire gate receipts. Yanger will make little money at this sport. First Baseman Stovall of the Clevelands is working hard to make good his threat to beat out Lajoie in batting this season. At the present writing he has quite a hunch on his chief. Up in Chicago they have added coffee to the refreshments that are served during games, "ot dogs" also being on the menu. In Cincinnati the "sausage eaters" prefer beer with theirs. Billy Campbell's friends presented him with a diamond ting at the game in Pittsburg Saturday afternoon. Pitcher Kroh. who is working for Kd Ashenback at Johnstown in the TriState league, shut out Wilmington without a hit Friday. He also retired thirteen batsmen on strikes. Kroh H a southpaw, six feet tall. Htcher Finlayson. over whom Brook, lyn ha.s had so much trouble, has been drafted by Rochester from th chib to which the national commission pent him. That ends the Suixrbas" claim on the twirler for the time heing. James .1. Jeffries is said to weigh just 2K pounds now, without training. As long as Jim is determined to keep out of the fighting game, his weight is of no more interest, to the ring followers than that of Presiden Roosevelt, who is said to hover lightly about the 2; mark. HIGH SCHOOL MEN HAVE TWO WEEKS In That Time They Must Round In Shape for Quadrangular Meet. ALLISON IS DETERMINED. CANDIDATES FOR TEAM MUST QUIT SMOKING AND "CUSSING" IF THEY KEEP THEIR PLACES PRESENT OUTLOOK. Two more weeks are to elapse before the members of the Richmond High school track team participates in the quadrangular meet at Anderson, and it means that the candidates for the various events will have to get down and dig to be able to keep pace with the contestants from the other three high schools that, will take part in t lie field meet. The boys have taken more interest in the track athletics during the past two weeks and now Captain Allison has' eleven men out for positions on the team and nearly all of them can be counted on for scoring several pout p. Xext week Allison will order all his men to appear on the public playgrounds for practice and those who are not regular in their attendance and who do not quit smoking and swearing will be given their walking papers on short notice. He states' that he will have his men in good condition by thetime of the field or know the reason why. Allison stiited yesterday that he expected Manager F. L. Torrence to se cure a track meet date with the fast Ruahvillo team to le held May 0, so that the. local team will have an equal chance against the other quadrangular ; meet high school teams. Manager Tor- j rcnee stated that he will do all in '. his power toward securing dates for .1. . i 1 lilt leaau. Allison, as usual, is the whole team, i Out of the fourteen events lie is a J candidate for eislit. and it is very j probable that he will give the taudi-j dates for the oilier position a hard race. Chapman and Magraw were with i the team last year, and are counted ' as men who will take first place in the events they are entered. Wann, is a new man. but is expected to make , good. He comes from an athletic fani- j ily and his brother. "Happy." "of Earlham college, expects him to keep up the record. Haas is doing well with the hammer and is expected to make the other contestants for this event hustle. The candidates that are out for the different positions are as follows: 1" dash --E. Cotton. R.
