Frank Duning RICHMOND HEAVERS DEFEAT OHIO NINE New Madison Batters Unable to Unravel Assortment Served by Messrs. Hafner and Williams. 8 TC TELLS THE STORY Hart and Beisman Follow Iample of Tyrus Cobb tVith Runners Waiting At the Stations. Richmond, 8; New Madison, 3. Inability of the New Madison batters to solve the slants of Messrs. Williams and Hafner, slab-artists of the local high nine, combined with some timely clouting on the part of the Richmond outfit, were the big fac tors of the 8-3 victory of Nohr's men at the play grounds diamond yesterday afternoon. Until the fifth inning it was any one's game, each side having annexed three runs and both teams steadying down to what looked like an overtime battle. The Richmond crowd, however, opened up in the sixth and the seventh, sewing up things in these sessions by counting five times. New Madison, on the other hand, registered a series of zeros for her share of the scoring activities. Richmond opened up strong, tallying a pair of runs in the initial stanza. Hart drew a life on a boot of a Madison infield man and Moranda followed with an infield bingle that sent the big catcher to the third sack. Carvey failed to do anything for his teammater,, but "J;twn" Baker Beisman stepped to the pan. Beisman did his duty all right, for when the dust of the next few minutes tf carnage had lifted, Hart and Meranda's names had been entered into the run column, while the premier third sacker "was seen reposing on third. From this point on the game resolved into a pitcher's battle. Thomas, of the Buckeyes, had the local men swinging in a manner that did not give promise of anything big in the scoring line for the Red and White warriors. Thomas fanned eleven men during the game and with better support would have held the locals to a closer score. Williams, on the other hand, was equally effective, holding the invaders to a trio of.bingles in the five innings that lie occupied the mound. " The red-fire caroo in the sixth and seventh. Hart, as usual, started things with a safe one into the garden. Meranda got life on a bingle that was too hot for the Madison short to handle. Bob Carvey slashed out a vicious liner that shoved Hart across the pan. Our old reliable "Jawn" Beisman again came to the fore with a rippling two-bagger that caused another marked to be registered for Nohr's men. Greenstreet sacrificed, but Bockhoff ended the inning by whiffing. Hafner, who replaced Williams on the mound at the beginning of the sixth session, held the visitors to one lone bingle and whiffed seven batsmen in the remaining four sessions.

TO SCHEDULE Jlcnney's Men Book Two Fast Teams. The latest addition to the schedule of t" Richmond nine is a booking wit'lnhe Hamilton (Ohio) team and a date with the Springfield Reds, two of the fastest teams of the. Buckeye state. Hamilton will play here May 14, instead of the Cincy Shamrocks, while the Reds "will show their wares here on August 9. Both teams are good attractions. The Hamilton nine is the same combination that represented that city in the Ohio State league, last summer. The Buckeyes-played here several years ago and gave the locals a trimming that Keruiey's men hope to avenge this year., Springfield needs no recommendation as that team has met and defeated some of the best nines in this part of the country.

M'GRAW ESCAPES USUAL WALLOPING Giants Leader Wears Horseshoe to Ward Off Blows "From Behind."

BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, April 18 "Jawn" Mc Graw, leader of the New York Giants (when not prone on the ground from a wallop from behind), must be wearing a four-leaf clover in his tootsies these day, a dangling a horseshoe from his slended Grecian neck. There seems to be no other way of explaining away the fact that it's been almost three weeks now since anybody has hit him "from behind." But John shouldn't get too enthusiastic over the wallop preventing powers of the clover, the horseshoe, or whatever he's toting around on his person. The season still is young, "Jawn's" trouble making tongue still is in working order, and who knows but some day in the immediate future some one Avill repeat the performance of Messrs. Newman, Brennan, "Honest" John Kelly, "Bugs" Raymond and Dan McGann. Somebody ought to feel sorry for John, because he's been hit "from behind" so frequently and so effectively. But we're afraid that John? isn't so well loved that the sympathetic feeling will be general. But, as aforementioned, John ought to be sympathized with. Not only has he been struck from behind and driven to Mother Earth in a crumpled heap on sundry occasions, but he's been robbed of his cherished and undeserved possession; the reputation of being a scrapper. Tn the years that have gone ' Jawn" used to kid the people into believing that as a punching machine even Jim .Tefferies had very little on him. And the gullible public used to believe it. They thought "Jawn" had made a mistake that he should have gone into the business of "white hoping." CUBS NAIL AT PLATE Chicago Bests Reds in Heartbreaker With Two Men on Bases. CINCINNATI, April 18.

ISSUE ULTIMATUM TO Richmond Baseball Men Decide to Cancel Middleborough Games Unless Team Takes Action. MORE PLAYERS HERE Ohio Management Agrees to Pay Expense of Men Reporting in Richmond Under Orders. Disgusted over the failure of L. Draper, manager of the Middleborough nine, to hold to his agreements, the Richmond baseball club, at a meeting last night, decided to cancel its scheduled games with the Appalachian leaguers, if aome definite understanding between the Middleborough and the Richmond managements was not reached by Monday. Saginaw or Bay City, of the Michigan State league will be billed here for the April 26 date, in case Draper fails to offer satisfactory reasons for his failure to keep his agreements with the local club. Draper is at present at Portsmouth, Ohio, where his men have been working out for the past week, but intends to come to this city the first of next week. If Draper had held to his original agreement, Richmond jnen say, he would have been here six weeks ago. Draper's Troubles. Draper appears to be having a heap of trouble in manipulating the affairs of his team as sections of his squad have landed in the city. Morgan, Elder and Lewis, who were here the first of the week, were ordered to "beat it for home." The trio did, but the latest arrivals did not. Walt Hartley and Glenn Stewart, two recruits, claim they were ordered to come here by the Appalachian manager and said they were here to stay until the arrival of the rest of the squad. Both men have been working out at the playground. A conference was held by the Middleborough club the other night in which the situation was discussed. The Appalachian circuit is apparently in deep water with several of the cities on the verge of giving up the ghost. The backers of the organization however claim that the league will be as strong as ever this season and all managers have been ordered to hold to their men. The question of what should be done with the players reporting here was taken up and it was decided that the club would stand good for their expenses. The secretary of the local club was asked for the amount of expense that the players had contracted and was notified that the Middleborough club would send a remittance to- cover the same. Doping Sport With Charlton BY FRANK CHARLTON. Why worry if .the dogs of war Are whining to be freed iiy net iiuout our new canal And graft and trusts and greed? Why try to dope out in your mind If Harry Kendall Thaw Will win a glorious victory And circumvent the law? Lay off, lay by such cares as these And others that perplex; With three big leagues to follow up We have enough to vex. i J. Pluvius opened his season yesterterday and it was a large and juicy i success. The baseball magnates are not running true to form. They failed to start a single new lawsuit yesterday. However, President Gilmore, of the Feds, says that he is planning $65,000 worth of damage suits within the next few days. Football practice has been commenced at Cornell and judging from last season's record it is not a bit too early. ! Of all sad words of tongue and pen : The saddest are these: "We lost again;" ! But other words that give us pain i Are these: "No game because of rain." James S. Hanlcy, aged 59, has enI tered a marathon race to be run in j New York in May. Now, what does i Dr. Osier know about that? "This is the life," chuckle the Federal league backers, as they recall the direful predictions of the organized I baseball magnates. INDIANAPOLIS BOYS TAKE RANK HONORS CRAWFORDS VILLE, Ind., April 18. In the acquatic meet held here last night, the Y. M. C. A. and Shortridge high school swimmers of Indianapolis carried off the honors with 39 points. Their closest competitors from South Bend scored 25 points. . -Next in line came the Gary swimmers,' who captur ed seven points. The local boys got only one point. Owing to the fact that the .athletic board of the local Y. M. G. A. failed to vote the necessary expenses, the Richmond swimmers did not enter the meet. For Carpet Cleaning Phone 2690. 14301

Killefer Ousted From JJ Frat For Jumping

WW ' - vrr ii jtt i ti 1

I k VWi

William M. Killefer, catcher of the Fhiladelphla National League team, is the first to feel the displeasure of the Baseball Fraternity's Ieague. He was expelled from the fraternity for jumping his contract. In annoimeir.g Killefer's expulsion, David L. Kultz, president of the organization, alluded to "cutthroat tactics" of baseball club owners in inducing players to violate agreements. The magnates more than Killefer were blamed for his jumping to the Federals. Killefer is now back with Philadelphia and the United States Court has held that he is the property of that club. Fultz's statement reads: While the Fraternity wishes to go on record as being .bsolutely opposed to this practice, and while it wishes to rebuke Killefer for his action it does not feel that he is half as much to blame as the older and more experienced men who held out the lure and induced him to violate his agreement. If baseball magnates, both organized and otherwise, desire the public to continue to believe in the honesty of the game they should put an end to such practices instead of upholding one another in these "cutthroat tactics."

Fishermen Banquet The annual banquet of the Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association, will be held May 12. Members will go to the fish hatcheries tomorrow to put in some parent fish. They have only about a dozen small mouth bass now, but expect in the next two weeks to have their hatcheries stocked without three dozen, insuring a good ha tch of young fish for the season.
