"With fair weather the management of the Richmond baseball team will make another attempt to entertain the fans at Athletic park Sunday afternoon. A special dispensation will be asked of the weatherman 'for the afternoon, and there are those who have

the temerity to hope that the sun will shine all day- . The famous Blue Grass team, of Newport, Ky., will cross bats with the Quakers. Inasmuch "as i this will be the third consecutive Sunday the attempt has been made under trying circumstances, it it believed that the spell will : be broken and that the game will ho played. r ' Made Fine Record. Last- season the Blue Grass Team won 22 out of the 28 games played. Ita schedule included games with the best independent and semi-professional teams In' and about Cincinnati, the Blue Grass league teams and -the- Kio leaguers. Mapager Strunk claims the amateur, championship of northern Kentucky, and says ho is ready to post a forfeit for a series of games with all corner fof that distinction. The team has been together five years. Following is the batting order of the Blue Grass team: Beuk, If.; Boehner, ss.; Berninger, c; Poe, lb.; Janszen, rf.; Bender, cf.; Wankleman, 3b.; Scheve, 2b.; Moran, p.: Wilber and Coffey, utility. This will be the first opportunity of the new Quakers, to show their prowess. The fact that there are several candidates for places on the team who will be tried out Sunday, is expected to prove a special attraction for the fans SOME FAN FODDER. The Royals, who claim the independent championship hi' Cincinnati, and who were unable to' play last Sunday because of - the rain, will probably- be given another" date. The All Kentuckians, whose game two weeks ago was postponed because of the high cold wind, have joined the Kio league and will ; have no more open dates until late in the season. -They may tome to Richmond before the season closes, hut for the present they have their bands full. The . Kio teams are much Btronger this year than last and Manager Drees will have to hustle to keep out of .Jthe cellar., Hamilton and the Dayton" Shilohs are bidding for' the pennant. The Norwood, O., Blues, who held the Colts of the Cincinnati National league squad to a 3 to 2 score, several weeks ago, are booked to play, hero May 23. Other teams scheduled to meet' the Quakers are as follows: Dunkirk, with" four ex-laguers, Including several Indiana-Ohio league players; the Springfield, O., Reds; the Taste Tells, of Indianapolis; the Cincinnati Muldoons and others. Connersville, New Castle and Cambridge City will all be accommodated later in the season. Interest id the 'curtain raiser series for the City championship - is second onl yto that in the big, games. The exhibition between the ' National and the X. Y. Z. team Sunday afternoon at 1 :15 o'clock, : will no doubt attract a large crowd of the friends of the youngsters; . Bulla, the- local sidewbeeler, whose work against the Indianapolis Gold Medals, .was so satisfactory has been training and promises to maintain the fast clip set then. . He and a depend able right-handed heaver will constitute the local's pitching staff as long as they -can stand -the gaff. The remainder of the team will be expected to do its share of winning, and the pitcher will not vbe made I to carry an unusual burden, . .-; .v' ."" .' "r r Jocko Weaver has been appointed captain tof the - team. Jocko is a favorite with .the fans and. players, and although not the slugger he once was, still "plays a7 matchless fielding- game. His knowledge, of baseball Is all that can be asked and with an even break of luck 1 he should develop a winning combination.', '''T , HIGH SCHOOL TO E1IIER THE tVEIIT To Send Strong Team to the Quadrangular Meet. Interest in the quadrangular high school 'meet to be held at Anderson Saturday promises to Induce several local students to accompany the track team. Anderson's athletes took, their final workout last evening. . The team U counting - on winning the .meet. Delph Is running the hundred in 10 3-5 seconds and Stanley Is high jumping 5 feet S Inches. The work in the weights satisfies the coaches. - The local hoys claim they will be able to surprise the Madison county lads. ' "Consistency's a jewel."

In a hard fought thirteen-innlng game yesterday, during which Umpire Cusack was assaulted by one of the visiting players and three of them were ordered off the grounds, Boston defeated Cincinnati by the score of 3 to 2. Starr's two base hit In the eleventh Inning sent in the tieing ran for the locals, and Ms single tetb thirteenth ecored

Mattern from second, giving the vic

tory to Boston. In the twelfth inning, when Catcher Roth, running for McLean, was called out at the plate on a close decision. he attacked Umpire Cusack, striking him with both hands on the chest. Several of the Cincinnati players crowded around the official threatening him with bats, but the Boston players succeeded in quieting the visitors. Roth and Dubec were immediately put off the grounds. Dubec had been sitting on the bench. Lobert and Huggins were removed from the coaching lines. Manager Griffith had been ejected previously for disputing another decision. The visiting team was left without a catcher, and Shortstop Downey was pressed into service behind the bat. Score: R.

There 'was in one production a snper who, though he had only a couple of lines to speak; made bis entrance In snch a way as to lead one to believe he was sustaining the leading role, and his behavior to his fellow actors was equally un warrantable. Irving soon got on the track of this man and ran him to earth at rehearsal. In due time the snper entered, haughtily saying: . "My lord, the carriage Is waiting." "Let's have it louder," said Irving. The man repeated It In a louder tone, whereupon Sir Henry demanded that It should be repeated again still louder. Yet again did. he make the super repeat it. and louder stUL and yet again was the same demand made. The' man was becoming enraged and at last shrieked oat the words.

BEN GRAVE. EARLHAM COACH, WILL ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE WORLD'S HOP-STEP-AND-JUMP RECORD MEET GOSSIP. v

Last night the Quaker track, athletes took their final work In preparation for the big Indiana College Athletic league meet, to be held on Rcid Field Saturday afternoon. Coach Grave made the following ' statement last night. "The track team has developed rapidly in the last two weeks anl has rounded into finished condition. Earlham should take the contest by a close score." He also stated that he expected Wabash to give the Quakers the hardest fight for first honors. Webash bear stories have gained little credence locally and Wabash is counted out by no one. Franklin Dark Horse. Franklin is the dark horse of the meet. She has had some very satisfactory trials, it is understood, and it is a well known fact that Brannigan, their distance man, has shown much class, taking third place in the half mile run during the state indoor meet at Indianapolis last month. He did this feat in a grueling race, which was won by Dana of Notre Dame and seconded by Bonslb, of Indiana. Rose Poly Is depending on Standau, of football fame, to take the broad jump. Report has it that he has made a leap close to 22 feet. This is well beyonl the I. C. A. L. record and a great contest will be in order when he and Conrad meet at the saw dust pile. Conrad made a leap of 21 feet, 6- Inches in the meet with De Pauw last Saturday. The finest medals ever procured have been purchased by Manager Hancock and a lo-inch silver trophy cup will go to the champions. The track is in tbj best condition of the year. The footing is firm and conditions for record breaking could not be better. Meet Is the Rubber. : The meet this year is the rubber between Wabash, Earlham and Rose Poly, as each college has taken the championship twice. Earlham took the games in 1003 and . 1904. Rose Poly was the winner in 1905 and 1905, and Wabash took the honors in 1907 and 1908. The first event on the program will be the attempt of B. H. Grave to break, the' world's record Jn the hop-step-dump. The record now stands at 30 feet, 4 inches, and the biology professor has been jumping close to that mark. He is confident that he will be able to turn the trick of gaining a world championship. E. H. Day, of the Dayton Y. M. C. A. will be the referee-starter. He has officiated at practically all of the meets held, being the official at the first meet, six years ago. CHARLES SUDHOFF PARALYSIS VICTIM Well Known Resident of This City Died at His Home Last Evening. LIVED HERE MANY YEARS HE WAS SEVENTY-EIGHT YEARS OF AGE AND WAS ALWAYS A LEADING MEMBER OF ST.

BOTH MEN QUALIFIED FOR OFFICES BY THEIR FAITHFUL SERVICESNO RECOUNT OF BALLOTS IS PROBABLE.

At the organization meeting of the republican city committee tomorrow evening at the office of George Ferling, the outgoing city chairman, it is probable that El am Hill will be elected chairman and Theodore Ireton will be chosen secretary. At least indications point to the selection of these two, owing to the experience they have had in committee affairs. No Recount Probable. As none of the candidates in the recent primary seem to be dissatisfied with the count, it is probable that the ballots will be destroyed following tbu meeting. - If any candidate should desire a recount, he will have to make his request before tomorrow evenlng"3 meeting. The voters of the Seventh ward will hold a mass meeting this evening at the grocery of George Shofer and select a committeeman. No one came out- for' the office in this ward for election at the primary, although one voter wrote the name of George Cotton on his ballot BEVER1DGE HITS TOBACCO TRUST WITH UPPERCUT (Continued From Page Ono.) $12.8)7,993.67 In 1902; 125.681,607.21 in 1903; $26,915,270.88 In 1904; $27,524,955.49 in 1905; $29,326,000.97 in 1906; $31,198,451.32 in 1907 and $30,646,268,89 in 1908. All told the "government has lost $184,090,557 in the last eight years. , "By cutting the prices so as to compel competitors to sell out or enter new combinations, which.it from time to time organized, the American Tobacco company has at the present time secured control of more than eighty-. two per cent of the output of the chew ing tobacco of the country; seventy-one per cent of the smoking tobacco output and more than eighty-two per cent, of the cigarette output of the country, and more than eighty-six per cent of the smtffi output." 1 ' Leeked Into Future. "The tobacco trust has passed through many forms of corporate duplication and , combination. These reached their consummation at a time when the war tax was removed and the war time package was specifically continued by the express words of the law. It was worthy of note that when the war was drawing to its close and far seeing men knew that the war tax would be removed, such men as Ryan, Dolan, Whitney, Brady, Wldener, Elkins and others well known to world of finance, forced their way into the inner council of the tobacco trust. It is still more worthy of note that when, according to the newspapers, Thomas F. Ryan, last year, determined to retire from most of his financial enterprises, he retained, as his own favorite enterprise., his holdings and active participation in the American Tobacco company, which Is the tobacco trust And More to Come. "The principal men who are in control of the tobacco trust are James B. Duke, Thomas F. Ryan. Oliver H. Payne (of Standard oil fame), Anthony N. Brady and the banking and brokerage firm of Moore & Schley. Elkins, Whitney and Widener having died. At a convenient time in the future I shall, if it becomes necessary, present to the senate the detailed transactions of this mighty organization controlled by these well known men." 'The EVwsR. fcVrfcr I don't see." said the erudite barber as he stropped his rasor, "why our customers complain that -men of our profession are exceedingly loquacious. Ail who enter the modern barber's place 'of business should know what to expect. Every barber shop Is a tonsorial parlor nowadays. The word parlor literally means talking room. just as 'parliament means an assembly of talkers. Parlor and parliament have the same root as the French parles, which means to talk, and then there la the English 'parley,' to exchange words. Moreover" "Moreover,- gasped the victim In the chair.
