IS KING OF LEAGUE Lid Could Not Be Pried Off the Indiana-Ohio This Afternoon. BIG TIME NEXT FRIDAY. LOCAL SEASON WILL OPEN WITH MUNCIE AS THE ATTRACTION MAYOR SCHILLINGER TO TOSS THE FIRST BALL. Owing i' the heartless eondu of j i the weather merchant !h opening j game of the I. O. league season at Van j AVerl, which was to have ben pulled j ofr by the Van Wert and Richmond j teams, was postponed. East, evening j Manager Hunt of the Huckeyes telephoned to Manager J -ssup stilting j that the Van Wert park was all right j for a game of water .nolo but. there was nothing doinu in ihe has.' ball line. On receiving this information Manager Jcssuu decided not to take his team to Van Wert until Wednesday. If I lie present weather continues it is probable that the entire Van AVert series will he postponed. Weather conditions at Huntington are reported to he the same as at Van Wert and it is probable that the opening league Katne in that city between the Muncie a.nd Huntington teams will have to be post poned. Owing to the fact I hat Me diamond at the Crolley park. Mimeio, are not jet in shape to play on, the Muncie 1eam will probably infest Eogansport until everything is ready for the transfer of the leant to .Muncie. The rebellion. Manager Jack Smith of Me Huntington team so promptly Iput down is now a matter of ancient history. Catcher Kogol and first liaselnail I'Viv, ler have wallowed in the d.iist and have loudly acclaimed Smith boss, so these two players have been reinstated. Went, the plaver over whom Richmond and Van Wert had 'fcaeh a violent nuarrel last season, is more Man inaMng good with Hiuitington. Sunday, Huntington and the Ft. AVayne Shamrocks played a 1 to I game. In the fourth Went, relieved (A'alanti. In the remaining nine in 1 1 -in.es of the exciting thirteen inning battle Went whiffed eighteen Shamrocks. Weather permitting, there will he , fpnte tall doings in Richmond Friday of this week. Muncie will bo hero to 'assist in prying open the season. Automobiles carrying hall players, county and city magnates, war correspondents and just common ordinary, every day human beings will parade to the grounds. A brass band will tender it mixed program of rag time and classics and Mayor Sclnllir.gor will toll how popular base ball is with us folks and will then fling the ball at the plate. Cuess all of this business wouldn't make a good plot for a melodrama? A Californian's J uck. "The luckiest, day of my life was v'.ten 1 bought a box of P.ucklon's Arr.ica Salve:" writes Charles F.

The New Castle Courier pays its resnec.s to the Richmond s in this manner : T he. Richmond l:i:,u . houl ball tram got "cold feet" or something Saturday afternoon and did not show up for the ball game scheduled- with the local boys. The Richmond manager te'ephoned about noon to Manager (. lart-nce Jackson of the locals that it was raining over there and they would not come tm the noon train, but would arrive on the traction line about :: o'clock.
