TRACK A HEAVY ONE
Because of Danger Racers Wanted 100 Mile Race Cut to 75 Miles.
Indianapolis A. B. C. Club Trimmed Richmond Yesterday 19 to 7 in a Farcial Game All-Professional League Team Will Play Locals Here on October 12.
On a track heavy with dust which made fast riding both difficult and dangerous, Robert Perry, of Rockford, 111., on an Excelsior stock machine, won the 10-mile motorcycle race in 1 hour, 36 minutes and 15 seconds, Monday afternoon at the Driving park. Perry was easily the star of the events of the day, leading the entire field in the ten-mile race for eight laps only to lose out on account of engine trouble, and winning the main event with three minutes to spare over his teammate, Shafer, who landed another Excelsior in second place. Minier Ennice, with an Indian, finished third. Baker, with an Indian, and Brinkenbach, with a Thor, were the only others to finish. Ellis Won Ten-Mile Race. The ten-mile event, open to all classes of machines, was won by John Ellis with an Indian in 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Perry led the entire field in this race for the greater portion of the distance, but through ignition trouble had to finish on one cylinder, getting third place in 10 minutes and 18 seconds. Shafer took second with his Excelsior. Owing to a smash-up just before
the race, when C. Alexander, who was !
riding Brinkenbach's racing machine, hit a fence, this rider was unable to enter the ten-mile event, but succeeded in substituting parts in time to get it in chape for the 100-mile race. Smith is Sidecar Winner. The first event of the day was the ve-mile race for side cars, with four entries: Smith, Excelsior; Cook, Excelsior; Humphries, Henderson and Lawson, Indian. Smith finished an easy first in 6 minutes and 23 seconds. Svent No. 2, a five-mile race for machines of not more tnan 30-50 cylinder displacement, was called off because of damage to machines that had been entered in the race. On this account, fearing that such action "would prove- unpopular with the crowd, the management later refused to accede to the request of the races to cut down the main event to seventy-five miles. A number of riders before the starting of the big race, strenuously objected to going the full 100 miles, stating that the track was in such a dangerous condition that a number of accidents must necessarily result. Fearing that the request, if granted, would displease the crowd and work injury to the sport in Richmond, it was decided after a delay of several minutes that the race should be run as advertised, even if only one machine started. Eight Machines in 100-Mile Race. The riders got away at 3:50 o'clock. There were eight machines in the field, ridden by Tangeman, Ennice, Thomas, Shafer, Brickenbach, Kesel., Allen and Perry. Shafer set the pace in the early part of the race, riding the first ten miles in 9 minutes fat. Allen was the first rider to be compelled to stop, leaving the track in the sixth lap to repair a broken chain. At the twenty-fifth mile Perry was leading the field, having run the quarter in 21 minutes and 45 seconds. He completed the half-century in 50 minutes and 45 seconds. The time for seventy-five miles was 1 hour, 11 minutes and 50 seconds. Sprve pxe'tement wns crpnte rt"rIng the final laps of the race by the
failure of Tangeman to pass the grand stand with the other contestants. Thinking that he might have met with an accident, a party was sent out to bring him in. He was found in the back stretch with a stalled engine, caused by ignition trouble. Considerable interest was shown in the performance of Shafer, who rode an Excelsior stock machine. Shafer had been riding his machine about the city all morning after reaching the city by a 100-mile cross-country ride. The only preparation he made for the race was to remove his lamp and change handlebars. With this insufficient preparation he was able to finis4 second in the big event of the day. J. H. Kinsey. state referee of the F. A. M., of Indianapolis, acted as official referee. J. C. Brown started the races, and Fred Cates and Elmer Smith acted as Judges. The meet, which was the second to be held under the auspices of the Motorcycle club, was a very successful one from every standpoint. The attendance was close to the two thousand mark, and while the weather was intensely hot, and there was not nearly enough shade to go around, practically every spectator remained for the finish.
Richmond went down to defeat yesterday before the A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis. Al Whitridge, who was to pitch the game for the locals, failed to appear on the grounds, Walter was out of the game with a sprained shoulder and no other pitcher could be found when the game was called. Richmond decided not to disappoint the large crowd of fans and Moore was taken from the outfield and put on the mound. He proved to be easy picking and Summers was put in hip place in the fourth inning. The score ran up so rapidly against the local that Summers was taken out and Myers put. on the mound in the sixth. The final score was 19 to 7. Only last Sunday the locals defeated the Indianapolis A. B. C.'c 10 to 6. Had it not been for the absence of a regular pitcher there probably would have been a different outcome of the contest. Jefferies, a south-paw pitched the game for the A. B. C. score:
cans, shortstop; Bauman, Detroit Americans, second; Dowling, Chicago White Sox, third; Carr, Kansas City Americans, first; O. Miller, Brooklyn Nationals, catcher; Johnny McCarthy, formerly of Richmond, lately drafted by the Philadelphia Americans, rightfield; Orville Woodruff, Milwaukee American Association, center-field; Massing, Indianapolis Federal League, left-field; George Dauss, Detroit Americans, pitcher, and Patterson, Minneapolis American Association, pitcher. Richmond will pit her regular lineup against this team of all-stars. Bauman and Bush of the All-Professionals are well known to local fans, having formerly played here. This game will wind up the baseball

ALL STARS TO COME. Richmond base-ball fans will have an opportunity to witness one of the greatest games ever played in this city on October 12. An all-professional team made up of high salaried, high class players from various big league teams and some of them former Richmond boys, will play the Richmond team. All-Professional line-up is as follows: O. Bush, of the Detroit Ameri-
GAME HERE ON SUNDAY. Richmond plays the West Covingtons here next Sunday. The latter team beat the crack New Albany team 5 to 3 just two weeks ago and last Sunday won the championship of Northern Kentucky. West Covington's line-up follows: Schroder, If; Curley, 3b; Shepker, 2b; Poqkins, lb; Watters, rf; Sheppard, cf; Wovack, c; Alberts, p; Cushing, ss. Richmond will run the regular lineup. It is hoped that Walters' shoulder will be in condition then, for he is the mainstay of the locals and his absence was very noticeable in yesterday's game. Alberts is considered the best semiprofessional pitcher in Cincinnati and has an enviable record.
More Scandal Talk For Followers of Baseball
(National News Association) PITTSBURG, Penn., Sept. 2. Two deals have been made in the National League only recently that have caused considerable gossip among the players in the organization. They are the transactions in which the New York Giants obtained Catcher Larry McLean from the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburg accepted Infielder Dolan for Bobby Byrne and Howard Camnitz. The latter trade is the later of the two and it has aroused more astonishment than the other. Both Byrne and Camnitz are still first-class players and have been doing well for the Pirates, according to the records. No one expected that Fred Clarke would dispose of them for Dolan, whom Manager Dooin, of the Phillies, did not ever think enough of to use as regular or even a pinch hitter. Dolan was given a chance in the spring, but was so weak with the hickory he was placed on the bench. Yet Clarke declared he desired him because of his hitting and his promising traits. Since that deal was made the report is going around that Barney Dreyfus, owner of the Pittsburg team, is interested in the . Philadelphia club, the same as was Charles Murphy, of the Chicago club, when Horace Fogel was President of the Phillies. It is intimated that in giving Red Dooin Byrne and Camnitz, Dreyfus is striving to assist the Phillies to make a desperate and
vigorous fight for the National League championship, in spite of the fact that they seem to be hopelessly out of the race. Whether this transaction is to aid the Phillies in making the New York Giants fight to the finish for the pennant remains to be seen. Dooin maintains he secured the better of the exchange and no one denies it. To what extent he has profited will not be known until he uses both Byrne and Camnitz in games. He does not seem to have any use for Byrne with Lobert at third unless he is thinking seriously of making a second baseman out of one of them in place of Otto Knabe, who has been practically worthless to the Phillies this summer as far as his batting is concerned. He will make use of Camnitz, who is not ready to join the ranks of the down and out. John McGraw's affair with the St. Louis team looks as queer as any deal yet made. Originally he gave Pitcher Crandall and a cash consideration for McLean. It is said the Giants rebelled over sending Crandall away at this time of the year, thereby depriving him of a share of the world's series money. Rather than have dissension in his club McGraw recalled Crandall and still retained McLean. How McGraw accomplished this has not been explained except that the New York team is to pay the St. Louis club a large sum of money.
SPORTING NOTES
CARLISLE. Pa., Sept. 2. James Thorpe, one of the world's greatest athletes, left here after a twenty-four hours stay, during which he astounded his friends by announcing his engagement to marry Miss Margaret I. Miller, a beautiful Cherokee Indian girl, now in Colifornia, but a resident of Otee, Okla. The banns will be published in St. Patrick's church here, and the pair will be married on a date
in October, to be determined by the conclusion of the world's baseball se ries. Jim will take his bride on a honeymoon tour around the world. He will be a member of the New York Giants, world touring base baseball club.
BOSTON, Sept. 2. George Foster, a pitcher, has the distinction of being the first player to sign with the Boston Americans for 1914 on a one-year contract. Foster wrenched a knee several weeks ago, and as the injury continues to trouble him, he decided to return to his home in Bonanza, Ark. Before leaving he was signed for next year.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 2. Just after he had finished second in a mo torcycle race at Vandiver park yesterday, Dan Morrisson. an electrician, was catapulted over the outside en closure of the park when his engine became clogged, and received injuries from which he died while being rushed to a hospital. Other races and events of the Labor day program were cancelled after the fatality.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2. The Elgin road race netted a profit of about $6,000 this year, according to a report made by officials of the Elgin road racing association at a dinner given by the Chicago Automobile club to those in charge of the Kane county contests and the competing drivers. The report shows that the crowd far outnumbered that of last year, when a deficit of $8,000 was sustained. The dinner was attended by only one driver, Gil Anderson, pilot of the winning Stutz in the Elgin national. Ralph DePalma, who was to have been present, spent the time at a hospital with an injured mechanician before starting for Corona, Cal., where he will race next week. Several entries were promised for next year's race. Harry Stutz promised the return of
Vnderson to defend the cup. David G. Joyce signed an entry blank and will a;et a foreign car here, probably for Edward Hearne to drive. M. D. McNab said he probably would have an American and a Marion in the race. Charles E. Erbstein telephoned that he probably would have Joe Dawson here with the Marmon. Mark Kavanaugh will enter a machine, the name of which he is withholding.
HOT LINERS i OFF THE BAT !
