RICHMOND WINS A PITCHERS BATTLE Turner Pulls Off Ty Cobb Stuff in Ninth and Brings Home the Victory.

Richmond, 2; Miamisburg, 1. One of the fastest and prettiest games which the local fans have been privileged to see on a Richmond diamond was yesterday's contest in which the Quaker City youths snatched victory from the Buckeye aggregation in the ninth inning, winning the game by the close score of 2 to 1. At the last of the ninth the score Btood 1 to 1. Turner, the little catcher for the locals, who had his finger broken in the first game of the season was sent in the game in the last inning by Manager Jimmy Braxton to wield the stick for Scattel, whose batting had been below the average. Turner used hfs eye, letting Williamson's bad ones go by and spoiling the good ones, with the result that he was given free transportation to first. Once on first and it was all off, for Turner twice committed grand larceny, stealing second and then stealing third. Powell, the Quaker's first sacker then stepped to the pan, getting a hit and bringing Turner in home. The 1,500 bugs in attendance went wild. Hats were thrown in the air, heels kicked together and a roar of victory shattered the atmosphere. As long as the Richmond team playB the class of ball it did Sunday it will have the entire support of. the local fans. From start to finish the game was fast. For a while it looked dark for the locals. Miamisburg got a marker in the third, Behringer getting the honors, and Richmond got its first tally In the eighth, Feldhaus bringing in the bacon. Richmond then took the field and Miamisburg failed to Bend a man arount the paths. It was then that the ever eager Turner was told to bat for Schattel. Schattel'sflelding was as good if not better than expected and when the sphere was sent into his domain, as well as that of the other outfielders, it was good for an out. But when he came to the bat he struck at everything and Williamson refused to put even one over the pan, while Roy refused to allow any out-curves to get 'by without striking at them. Williamson was weak at times and exceedingly wild at others., More than one of his pitched balls went clear of the pan by several feet and it kept Sheibly, his receiver, busy guessing where he would have to be, in order to catch the next pitched ball. Once Williamson hit the wire netting in the grand stand, the ball being' thrown over the batter's head. Betts, on the other hand, put it over and depended upon his support, which was excellent and as soon as the ball was thrown to Powell the runner was out. Powell demonstrated his ability as a ball player yesterday, repeating his work in the opening game here two weeks ago. He is the best first baseman who has ever played on a Rich-, mond team. The entire team gave its best support to Betts, "Doc" Martin, and Stupp, second and short stop, respectively, drew repeated applause from the fandom. Martin was given an ovation evrytime he came to bat. Stupp lined one out above the center fielder's head, almost hitting the north fence of the

park and tried to make it good for a three bagger. However, as he slid for third Flaherty nailed him. Stupp and Turner were practically the only men i who were not afraid of soiling their euits. Miamsburgsupported Williamson in euperb form. Score:

GRAVEL BANK AH EYESORE

The West Environs of the Glen Lake a Defacement to That Part of the Park. Post Office Lobby Needs to Be Kept Clean.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Take a look at the gravel bank in the Glen. The ragged, jagged gravel bank. Just west of the lake. "Lake!" However we pass lightly on. Possibly you haven't noticed it because its been there so long a permanent and aggravated and irritating eyesore. Loud and long has been the protest against this defacement of the landscape thereabouts. Many the attempts to get it landscaped gardened, raked over, or "fixed up" in some way. But without avail. Park boards pass, custodians flourish and are carted to the cemetery. Public Works officials come and go, and still the gravel-pit we have with us. And constituting one of the worst derelictions of official duty constantly flaunted before the public. A simple plan has been suggested time and again that of rounding it off and planting it with the same vine that covers honeysuckle hill and which has so admirably served in that part of the park for both utilitarian and decorative purposes. Officials say that the gravel from the pit is needed. And they are right. Six hundred loads of gravel were placed on the Glen roadways last year from this valuable asset to the public domain. At one dollar a load, as would have had to have been paid, the city is saved six hundred dollars. But this condition can be retained and the side turned toward the lake made decorative "at one and the same time." The bank can be entered from the back as .well as from its present place of egress, the same amount of gravel taken out, with the same amount of

work.

The objection to this is, the board of works states, that ttie eye-sore will be turned toward the railroad and the park defaced from the vantage of the car-window. But this has little weight since the spectators from car windows are negligible and fleeting compared with the residents of the town, and more or less permanent visitors, whose eyes are offended with the yawning bank, dripping stones and dirt, its razor edges extending toward the little sheet of water- whose ornamental value would be enhanced a thousand nor cent by the smooLbtiu? off of Ihis excrescence. This is a part of the Glen which should no longer be permitted to deface the whole. For it detracts from the landscape effect, which is so highly accentuated throughout this track of parkland, to detour suddenly on the environs 'ipon which the pit "abuts." It gives the general impression of jumping from Central Park into the fringes of Podunkville. Its bad. Everybody admits it. The officials don't deny it. The condition can easily be remedied. Why, then, isn't it done? "Costs too much," says Mr. Official.

lars to put it into proper shape. And I

there is just about that amount left from the Chautauqua fund after paying for the celebrated arch that is to loom upon the fascinated public gaze within the month. The money could not be expended to better purpose. So far the fund accruing from the Chautauqua has been used in elevating the roadway rieir the east entrance, to buying a lot of new benches, much needed, and which are comfortable and of movable veigtit, and in an appropriation for an arch to cost $800. The remaining $600 could not be used to better advantage than in "laying out" the gravel pit so that that part of the park will become a valuable decorative accessory and still preserve its usefulness. Bp the way why doesn't the park keep its curb in better condition. The grass strip betweep the sidewalk and curb should be groomed as carefully as the park itself. But it is ragged and unkempt and makes a bad impression on the stranger. It should be put into condition and kept so. First impressions are almost always lasting. Or at least modifying. And to see an entire park front bordered by a mangy looking walk isn't conducive to further eager desire for exploration. The truth is that the grass curbs all over the town are indifferently kept. And nothing in the city's mise en scene should be given more constant attention since they are constantly within the public vision. This duty, naturally, outside that portion of the town fronting the park, devolves upon property owners and that many of them pay little attention to these sidewalk grass plots is evident. The grass about the postoffice building is frequently in a state of neglect and ornamented with bits of paper and other debris. This looks bad for the Federal authorities. But no worse than, as animadverted upon once before, the state of the post office lobby. This is an ornamental enough interior and could be made more so if kept clean. Rarely does it have the appearance of being even swept out. To say nothing of being mopped up as it should be every day. The immediate environs of the scrap baskets and cuspidors are far from inviting and the whole place looks frankly dirty-Why not, now and then, also clean out the ink bottles, and renew the pens?This is doubtless done when any notice is taken or attention is called to the fact that the ink wells are empty or dry and the pens worn out. But the public should not have to call attention to something which should be the part of the routine of the building. "What, pray, is it to you?" asks somebody. Like a lot of other things nothing and everything. It is the truth, though, that there is much general and unfavorable comment on the state of the post office lobbies.

FACTORY EMPLOYERS AMD EMPLOYES WILL HOLD NATIONAL CONFERENCE IN GOTHAM

(National News Association) NEW YORK, May 20. Several thousand employers, factory superintendents, managers and workmen from every section of the country will gather at the seventeenth annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers of the United States at the Waldorf Asoria on May 21 and 22nd. The convention will mark the opening of a constructive campaign to improve the efficiency of American industrial methods by educating both workers and employers. Its deliberations will be cenered about the elimination of industrial accidents. This subject will be handled by speakers of national prominence among them being Ferd C. Schwedtman and James A. Emery, of the Association's Committee on Accident Prevention and Workmen's Compensation James P. Bird, vice-president and general manager of the Association and John Kirby, Jr., president of the association. Among the special features which have been arranged for the occasion are three motion picture films, each of which has its own lesson on the cause, effect and remedy of industrial accidents. The first shows the occlurrence of an accident in a factory with its attendant injury, and he logical effect of the casualty both upon the worker and his family or relatives. The pictures prove as clearly as would a personal visit of inspection to any

plant the practicability of adopting remedies for at least seventy-five per cent of the total number of industrial accidents which occur in the United States every year. The third motion picture Sim, is entitled "Insuring Safety at Sea," and comprises the results of a careful investigation into the field of practical life-saving apparatus, as promoted by the various trans-Atlantic steamship companies. The pictures also include some of the latest and most adaptable forms of rescue apparatus which are of particular interest at this time. Besides the motion picture films there will be arranged in the Colonial Room of the hotel an Accident Prevention Exhibition, consisting of almost 2,000 photographs, a large number of working models of safety appliances and the greater portion of the safety -at-sea apparatus shown in the motion pictures. The Wisconsin State Industrial Commission has contributed to the photographic exhibit, and the United States Steel Corporation has arranged an extensive array of working models from its various plants. The trans-Atlantic steamship companies will have experts on hand to explain the details of the safety-at-sea exhibition. ficiency of employers and workers Another branch of the national campaign to promote the welfare and efwhich will be touched on at the coming convention is the question of fire prevention.

An Historic London Street. Leadenhall street was so called from the lead roofed mansion of Sir Hugh Nevill, which the city acquired for a court of justice. Few London streets possess more interesting literary and historical associations. Here Peter Motteux. the translator of "Don Quixote." kept "an East India shop." and Gibbon's great-grandfather "did not aspire above the station of a linendraper in Leadenhall street."

Swimming Ghosts. Lecturing before the Camera club. Dr. Francis Ward said that in an attempt to photograph fish in their natural surroundings he had constructed a pond with an observation chamber let in at the side below the surface of the water. Through the window of this chamber unseen by the fish he could watch and photograph their movements. He discovered by this means that the protection of fish when in their natural state is much more thorough than is generally supposed. All silvery fish were in reality merely mirrors in the water, reflecting the tone and color of their surroundings so as to appear to their fellow fish gray, unsubstantial, swimming ghosts, hardly to be distinguished at alt. It was only when the dace, for example, rose to the surface, causing its body to reflect light, that the pike at the bottom of the pond could see and go for its little victim. London Graphic.

England's Cream Ponies. The famous cream ponies which are used to draw the king's carriage on state occasions are the sole survivors of a breed of horses which has otherwise passed out of existence. They are the direct and only pure bred descendants of the famous horses of Hanover, which George I. brought with him to nis new English kingdom two centuries ago. The once famous white horses and black horses of Hanover have died out, and now the creams alone survive, and only in England, for when Queen Victoria sent to Hanover about 1S90 to procure fresh stock for the royal stud not one was to be found.
