PANS EXPECT BATTLE BETWEEN PITCHERS Utrecht, Quaker Southpaw, Will Meet Cincinnati Mound Worker. WALTERS NOT PLAYING Y. M. I. Line-up Strengthened by Addition of Badel and Lawson. With Utrecht on the mound for the Richmond team and VordenberR working for the Cincinnati Y. M. I. crowd, fans are promised one of the hardest fought pitchers' battles of the season tomorrow afternoon at the Athletic Park. Vordenberg has the respect of the Richmond team, for whom he pitched last year. After leaving here he went to the Philadelphia North Americans, with whom he worked during the training trip, and during the early part of the season. Utrecht, who will be given a chance with the Chicago Cubs next spring, has been winning most of his games recently with little difficulty. He is a big southpaw, with lots of steam. The Y. M. I. lineup will include two other well known players. They bring with them Badel, left fielder for the Kansas City Federal League team, and Lawson of the Cleveland Reds. Lawson is a hard, sure hitter, and is fast on (lie bases. The Richmond lineup will be the same as for the last few games. It was announced today that "Babe" Walters would be kept out of the game for the rest of the season by his bad shoulder and back. I LEAGUE STANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE. Clubs V. L. Pet.

E. GATES MAY PITCH Probable That "Old Eli" Will be Used Here. Eli Cates was in the city yesterday visiting friends, having had an off day in the schedule of the Indianapolis, team, winner of the pennant in the Federal league. Cates this year has certainly been assuming the role of a come-back. The standing of the Indianapolis team may be regarded as partly due to the work of Old Eli. Today the populace of the Hoosier capital are celebrating the occasion of raising a pennant at the Federal league park. Cates has participated in sixty games this season, playing in every position except behind the windpad. Of the sixteen games he pitched, he annexed twelve on the winning end, and lost but four on close scores. Eli has been clouting the horsehide this year better than he has ever done before, and has a batting average well over the classy MOO mark. He has been tendered a contract for next season, but has not signed it as yet. Cates will be among the players representing the all-star aggregation that will play the Richmond team on October ". Other members of the aggregation that will be recruited from the Federal league and the American Association will be be Massing, Dolan, Willie Hopke, Eddie Tiemeyer, Jelly Burns and Jimmy Barton. It" is probable that Eli will pitch the game in Richmond, and his many local friends and admirers will turn out in force for the contest. GAMES SUNDAY ! Richmond vs. Cincinnati Y. M. I.

A foreign resident in Switzerland was fined 10 francs because his little girl had plucked three buttercups growing on a piece of land on which she and some half dozen children had for years been accustomed' to p!ay. The land had recently changed hands, and its new owner had put up a notice forbidd.ujr the plucking of flowers. A passing srendaruue had found the children frasrante delicto and bad forthwith instituted proceedings against the little foreigner while letting the natives go scot free. The child's father appealed against the sentence and by dint of bard tigbtiug. which entailed, of course, expense, forced the higher court to reduce the tine from 10 francs to 3 i. e., one franc for eacb buttercup. When 1 tried to learn the ways and wherefores of this case 1 was told by a Swiss that one-half of every tine levied goes to the gendarme who reparts the offense for which it is levied, and also the Swiss gendarmes cannot fairly be expected to be quite as alert in taking proceedings against natives as against foreigners. Further. I was told bj an American that in Switzerland aii foreigners rank as Egyptians and that the one Scriptural injunction thst is faithfully obeyed there ts that which ordains that Egyptians shall be spoiled.

SPORTSMEN REM FOR FALL HUNT Game is Reported to Be Plentiful in Wayne County This Year. Game of all kinds is plentiful in Wayne county this year. Local sportsmen are preparing for the fall hunting season which starts soon. , This is the open season for squirrels. The rabbits are also plentiful and are said to be very tame. Farmers report that they are seen often sitting near the roads. Quail exist all over the state in large numbers, it is reported from other cities. Wayne county has its share of the birds and the number this year is said to be double that of last year. The quail season does not open until November 10. Several coveys of quail have been secured by farmers who say the birds I seem plump. Although the fall migration of wild j geese and ducks is near, the local j hunters do not expect to secure many i of them. The ducks and geese are reported to be greater in number than before, due largely, it is said, to the stringent game laws which Canada and northern states are enforcing. A few of these are bagged during the fall by farmers. From the amount of hunting supplies which have been purchased, one local dealer -says that the season will be a busy one from the hunters' point of view. LOCALS WANT GAME WITH HOOSIER FEDS Two dates are being held open by the Richmond team in an effort to book a game with the Hoosier Feds. If possible the Feds will be brought to this city on September 21 or 28. Phillips offered to come on September 22, but the local management felt that a Monday game would not be well attended.

President Ed Krause was in the parade. The closing bill of the season will be played in this city tomorrow afternoon. LONG SOUGHT'S WORK PLEASES HIS OWNER Pleased with the showing made by Long Sought this season, and believing he has more speed in him than has been shown in any of his races, the mayor brought the horse home for the winter today. Rain and the heavytrack prevented the races at the state fair yesterday, in which Long Sought was to enter the free-for-all. This was the gelding's first season on the track. The mayor believes with proper handling this winter and good training in the spring, the horse should make a good showing next year. HIKERS GO THROUGH UPON THIRD TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Dan Carlos passed throught here yesterday on a hike from Windsor, Canada, to Talahasse, Fla. They were travelling light, carrying only sleeping bags and a ten pound kit. They spent ten days visiting Mr. Carlos' parents in Springfield, Ohio. This is the third trip they have made to the south in this fashion. Carlos is a machinist, but does not work at the trade in the winter time. They are paying the exepnses of their trip selling soap.

Those who live in temperate and cold climates do not realize the effect of the sun's direct heat on tbe sea. The luxury of bathing in an ocean that has a temperature of 10S degrees, writes Mr. E. J. Bantield in "My Tropic Isle." is not for the multitude who crowd the cities that the sun touches tremulously and aslant On Nov. 21. 1909. we bathed at MooJee. north Queensland, in shallow water, on the edge of an area of denuded coral reef fully two miles long by a mile broad. For three hours a considerable portion of the reef had been exposed to the glare of the sun. and the incoming tide fjlcbed tbe stored up heat from coral and stones and sand. The first plunge provoked an exclamation of amazement, for the water was several degrees hotter than the air. and it was the hottest hour 3 o'clock In the afternoon of a Tery hot day. No thermometer was at band to register tbe actual temperature of the water, but subsequent tests at the same sptt under similar conditions proved that the surface stratum of about one foot was at 108 degrees F-. from four to six degrees hotter than the air. Below that the temperature of the water seemed ordinary and corresponded with that of the water a hundred yards from the shore. On another day. Jan. 30. 1910. between noon and 3 o'clock In the afternoon, the ea. scientifically tested, was found heated to 90 degrees. 'With tbe bulb buried in tbe sand six feet from tbe water's edge, the merenry rose to 112 degrees Tery Quickly aad retrained stationary.
