ALL PROFESSIONALS PLAY HERE SUNDAY Richmond Baseball Fans Have Opportunity to See Big Players. LAST GAME OF SEASON Ownie Bush and Dauss of Tiger Aggregation on Visitors Lineup. Eli Cates, who pitched last Sunday for the All-star Federal league players, will be seen In the uniform of the Richmond team when the All-professionals appear here next Sunday. Meyers, whose hitting has weakened Sf late, will be out of the line-up and Cates will take his place in right field, probably alternating with Utrecht in box. While the local management has not yet been able to obtain an umpire for the game, the assurance is made that a high-class man will be brought here to officiate on that day. The prices for the game will be the same as those that have ruled at Athletic park all summer, save that the prioe of admission to the grand stand will be increased from ten to twentyfive cents. Some Star Players. Ownie Bush, of Detroit; Dauss the ensational left-handed flinger of the Tlgere, and a number of other wellknown major league stars will be seen In the visitors' line-up. This will be the last game of the season, and owing to the heavy expense Incident to bringing such a high-class aggregation to Richmond, a record breaking crowd will be necessary If the management breaks even on the game. The management of the All-professional desired to hare the price of admission to the game raised to fifty cents, but this the local club refused to do, feeling that. th Richmond fans have been loyal in their support of the team all summer and should be entitled to witness the best game of the season at the same price that has obtained all summer. Visitors' Line-up. Following is the batting order and line-up of the All-professionals: Bush, ss., Detroit. Bauroan, 2b., Detroit. Dowling, 3b., White Sox. Dolan lb., Philadelphia Nationals. Massing, c, Indianapolis Federals. Miller, If., and c, Brooklyn. Qulesser, cf., Springfield Three-I. Scanlan, rf., Omaha Western league. Dauss, p., Detroit. Willis, St. Louis Nationals. BOOK THIRTEEN GAMES Members of High Basketball . Team to be Busy. Director Nohr of the physical department is receiving letters from the high schools of the surrounding cities asking for games with the local school.

Following is the list of games booked up to the present time: Shelby vllle, two games; Steele, of Dayton, one game; Stivers, of Dayton, two games; Anderson, two games; Evansville, two games; Marion, two games; Manual Training School of Indianapolis, two games.

WINS FUTURITY EVENT Peter Volo Lowers 2-Year-Old Record. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Oct. 7 The world's record for two-year-old trot ters was broken here yesterday when i Peter Volo won the futurity for two-year-old trotters, making a mile in 2: 042. Another record was lowered when Uhlan, Billings' champion trotte, negotiated a guarter in 27 seconds. WORLD SERIES NOTES . A new feature this year was the absence of any temporary fence or roped off enclosure on the field, probably to avoid a repetition of last year's collapse of the fence at Kenway Park, which delayed a game 20 minutes. An important change in the schednle arrangements has been made. In case of a legal tie, the teams will not play the game over again the next day in the same city, as was done last year in Boston. Instead, the teams w'ill move to the next town and play out the rest of the schedule. If the question of supremacy depends on the tie game; it will be replayed in the city where it was played the first time. In case of a game stopped by rain before the legal number of innings has been completed, the game will be played in the same city on the following day. SET A NEW RECORD FOR TIME OF GAME NEW YORK, Oct. 7. In an exhibition game here yesterday the New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Nationals, 4 to 1 to the entire nine innings being played in the remarkable time of 31 seconds. New York used three pitchers in the contest, Schupp, Wiltse and Hearne. Telephone operators in Egypt are required to speak English French, Italian, Greek and Arabic

"Every member of my team is in grand physical condition, and despite rumors, the pitchers are all on edge. We'll have plenty of speed, splendid fielding, heavy hitting and good slab work, and this, with the usual base NO TRANSFER MADE OF INDIANS TEAM INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 7. The transfer of the Indianapolis baseball team which was set for yesterday, has not been consummated. The owners said today the negotiations have been entirely broken off, while the representatives of the intending purchasers said they have been merely suspended for a time. It is understood that the question of deferred payments for the stock of the club was the stumbling block. -Mr. Kiser said yesterday that since the deal was off, no more attention would be given to the matter, but the owners of the team would go ahead with their arrangements for strengthening the Indians for next season. GIANTS PITCHING ABILITY BETTER The following comparison of the ability of the star hurlers shows that the Giants have a bigger shade the advantage in pitching than the Athletics have in batting. There is a difference of .045 in the pitching strength of tine twro teams as shown by a comparison of the season's record while the difference in batting ability, if mere figures be used, is only .016 per cent.

ball luck, will return the Athletics pennant winners. We beat the Giants in 1911, and we can nepeat this year. It will, however, be a close, hard fight." Connie Mack, manager Athletics. SPARTANSBURG MAY PLAY SENATORS SOON The last game of baseball will be seen this season at Athletic park on Sunday, October 17. Negotiations are under way between the Richmond Senators and the fast Spartansburg team for a game on that date. These teams have met twice this summer and each won one game. Richmond wond the first contest 7 to 3, and the Randolph county bunch took the seeon 6 to 1. Although the arrangements for the game have not been completed, both managements favor the idea of playing off the time, and there is little doubt that the game will be scheduled for October 17 at Athletic park. NOT TO ANSWER OWLS' CHALLENGE No attention will be paid by the Richmond Senators to the challenge of the Owls for a series of games to be played between the two teams for the championship of the city. The Senators assert that the defi of the Owls is an annual outbreak ' and means nothing. The management of the Senators asserts that while that team was defeated by the Centerville team, which fell a victim to the Owls, it was through the absence of all the members of thg pitching staff and the team went into the game without a heaver. The Senators point out that while the Senators walked all over Lynn in a very one sided contest, the Owls had to travel through 11 innings in order to turn the trick. SPORT CALENDAR BOUTS.

"Twenty hours of sleep in five days. This was the record of Chief of Police Gormon during the days of the Fall Festival, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The chief, backed by a force of a dozen extra police and as many or more plainclothes men, worked almost constantly during the time when Richmond's largest crowds were in the city and lawless conditions were expected. However, not one "dip," crook, pickpocket, rowdy, robber, burglar, nor any other form of lawbreakers operated in the city. They might have been here but they did not ply their "trades," a fact that speaks well for the reputation of the city in the future, because according to Chief Gormon, almost every town in the country of any consequence is listed among crooks and "con" men. "In the future we shall take the same precautions for the safety of the citizens and their property when large crowds are in the city," said the chief. "But I do not believe that we will experience any trouble unless it is from young and inexperienced men who are not 'on to the ropes' and are not in with others. I believe that Richmond is now marked in flaring letters in the minds of confidence men, pickpockets and crooks of all descriptions, 'Keep out.' " In connection with his duties at headquarters Chief Gormon was on the streets in watch for any dishonest men of whom he might have had a record or previous acquaintanceship. The regular police force worked overtime, too, the day men spending their evening's in the parts of the city most liable to be frequented by the men they were watching for. The night men reported early in the afternoons.
