Frank Duning rvmniTinii it nini AmDlllUN HI rAniv Draperites and Umpire Wagner Enact Popular American Pastime Second in In- .' terest to Real Baseball. Richmond, 9; Middleborough, 4. Between the flagrant robberies of Umpire Wagner, the consistent playing of Dick Kenney's Richmond team, the whimperings of Hutchinson, who became peeved werytime the "umps" called one of his shoots a ball, Middleborough never had a chance to win In the freak contest at Athletic park Sunday afternoon. After Yockey had yanked "Hutch," the Richmond batters did unmentiofMe things with Decatur's straight ball, consequently when Yockey counted up the fatal Ities, he found that his leaguers had been downed by a semi-pro organiza tion, 9-4. Notwithstanding these minor fea tures, the game abounded with thrillers and fans were furnished with everything known in the base ball art from circus-fielding to "umps-baiting. Strickland, Middie short, pulled one of the best bits of fielding that has been seen at Athletic park since the days of "Ownie" Bush, when he nabbed a sizzling liner that went within a foot of the keystone sack. This fea ture had nothing on the rank work of the "umps" on many and varied occasions. Wagner's lamp yesterday waB off as many decisions, particular 2y on balls and strikes were question able. "Vordy" Goes Well. While Vordenburg, Richmond pitch er, was touched for eight safeties, they were fairly .well scattered and iialled to do any great amount of dam ge. The Quakers generally managed to pull out of the tight places and in but one inning, the fifth, did the Mid Idies get in their work of destruction. iA single and a rattling double cast a cloud over the Richmond's prospects, In this session. Hutchinson, who hurled the first six Innings for Draper's men, showed good .form but spoiled his chances by dis playing childishness that would have lone credit to a ten-year-old town lot pitcher. "Hutch" was the victim of many apparently unfair decisions on balls and Btrlkes, but he failed to im press the fans with his kiddish actions. He allowed four hits in the Innings he officiated. Richmond did business in the third, ififth, sixth and seventh. Wilbers reg istered the initial run after singling, etealing second and coming home on Hutchinson's wild heave to center. A pair of tallies were added in the fifth when Novack delivered a rippling double sending in Wilbers and Voltz, who had gained the sacks by virtue of the free passes of the Middie pitch er. Lenniger Starts Sixth. Then came the big sixth. Lenniger, iirst man up walked, McCann hit one that was too big for McCall to handle and was safe at first. Cushing hit clean sending in Wilbers. Right here Lieutenant Yockey, who was in command of the Middie forces while Draper sojourned at Muncie, produced the hook and the peeved Mr. Hutchinson was removed to the lesser excitement of the player's bench. Decatur then took up the burden but his second ball met the bat of Vordenburg squarely and Cushing came in. Wilbers lined a hook at McCall, who booted the same and the bags were again occupied. Voltx relieved the strain by slamming out a single and two more names were entered in the ecorebook. Merkle ended the agony by grounding out, Strickland to McCall. The final score came in the seventh. Popkins registered his first hit of the day. Lenniger popped one between the catcher's and pitcher's box where the Alphonso and Gaston stunt resulted in Lenniger's life. McCann soaked one on the nose and "Big John" came home. The Middies counted in the fourth, fifth and seventh. Theobold, scored in the fourth on a sacrifice fly after hitting and being advanced to the third sack on a couple of infield outs. A base on bjalls, Hutchinson's singje and McCall's two base hit counted two in the next session. An error and an infield bobble in the seventh added the fourth and last score.

Losing teams in the American league yesterday did not score any runs. Now, who will stop the Pirates bold? The fans all loudly cried "We'll do it If It can be did," The doughty Cubs replied.

A, S, M, PRESENTS GAME TO MIDDIES Tagagrt Holds Leaguers But Teammates Make Costly Errors. t Taggart, the A. S. M. company pitcher, held the strongest lineup that L. Draper could Bcare up among his Middleborough recruits to seven scattered bingles Saturday but his team mates generously booted the game away. The score was 10-3. Had Taggart been given perfect support, the SeederB would have taken tne game. Although the Hoosier men showed that they understood the game and had the goods, they happened to make their errors Just when errors counted most. With the exception of one lone tally, the Middle's runs were gifts. Eight of the Southerners' runs came in the sixth and seventh through errors of Taggart and Sitlow. Before these fatal sessions the Seeders seemed to be holding their own and the game looked to be about an even break. A costly error of Sitlow, who dropped a fly with the bags loaded paved the way to one deluge while Taggart's poor thsow to first with the bases in a similar condition caused the other ascension.

RELIANCE REPEATS ON ROBINSON TEAM The Robiason nine suffered a double tragedy Saturday night when right after being walloped by a 30-1 count the Reliance Founders came along and added another 22-2 thump. The game was a duplicate of the Wayne-Robinson game though not quite so extensive. O. Firth, of the Founders had the Machinists well under control at all times while Newby proved as effective as he had against the Wayne outfit. The Founders garnered twenty-two hits off Newby's assortment of shoots while O. Firth gets credit for pitching an eight hit game. The Founders started off at a clip that took the breath away from their opponents scoring just fourteen runs in the first frame and registering at a fairly regular clip thereafter Creagar had the honor of scoring the total number of runs accredited to the losers.

QUAKERS Will OUT AFTEJHpiIGS Wallace Holds Butler to Five Hits Errors Prove Very Costly.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 11. It took ten Innings of the hardest kind of work to make Earlham victor over the Butler nine, her Saturday. The score was 6-5. Wallace, pitching for the Quakers, held the Irvingtonlans to five hits but six errors behind him enabled the locals to keep in the running. Bonham, who hurled for Butler was touched up for nine bingles. Hobbi scored the winning run in the tenth when Logan singled to right. Score: EARLHAM. A.B. H. O. A. E.

ROBINSONS SCORE ONE LONE MARKER The Wayne WorkB nine annihilated the Robinson combination, Saturday night in a poor exhibition of indoor baseball at the "Y" that ended 30-1. Ability to pound the offering of Newby, the Robinson slab man and inability to 'do anything with the slants of Hannah tells the story. New by's offering was touched up for something like twenty-seven hits, while the best that the West-endere could do against the slaats of the Wayne pitcher was seven safe ones. The Wayne Works team held a good time on the paths in every round but the final session took the banner. Eight, six and three runs were count ed in the first three sessions, respect ively, but thirteen crossed the home pan in the final. Eadler scored the lone tally of the losers ia the second frame.

PITCHER MAIN COG

BASEBALL TEAM BY FRANKE Q. MENKE. NEW YORK. May 11. We have with use today the ancient but still honorable quizz as to which gentle man is the more valuable to a team, Walter Johnson, the pitching nerson. or Ty Cobb, who does everything but pitch. The answer is simple Johnson Is Jar more valuable, despite the wonderful, uncanny, all-around ability of the Georgian. Cobb, marvelous though he is, is but one cog in a machine of nine cogs. His position as an outfielder forces him to share only a portion of the defensive Play. But a pitcher is the main cog the real cog. Upon hjm stands the greatest portion of the defense. In ract, every defensive play of the game depends first upon him and his pitching arm. If a pitcher is going "right" it needs but little offensive work on the part of his teammates to bring home a vic tory. But if the pitcher foozles, and the opposition begins to batter avound his twists and slants, the official score keeper usually proceeds to chajk a defeat against the team that owns that wobbling pitcher. No More Games. Not since tbe Federals pried open the season and outdrew most of the organized majors has Ban Johnson rushed to the fore with any remarks abeut "Joke." Nor ha GarrolouB Garry Herman murmured "blooir, blooir" when any one mentioned the Feds. And Charles Holiday Ebbetts. the Brooklyn magnate, no longer grins from ear to ear, no longer holds his sides to suppress boisterous giggles heje somebody hazards the remark that "it looks like the Feds are there. McGraw's Men Base ""Stealers. John McGraw, whose fame through being hit "from behind" has almost overshadowed the fact that he's the $30,000 manager of the Giants, boasts of the greatest collection of base stealers in captivity. Hock, the new third sacker, stole 43 base while with Mobile last year, and 1b running wild this season; Merkle pilf erred 35 sacks in 1913; Bescher 38, Murray 35, Burns 40, Doyle 28, and Fletcher 37, which give3 McGraw seven regulars with a grand average of something like 38 bases.

AN APPEAL TO REASON Who passes Judgment for yon on your political, civic and religious belief? Then, why not do your own investigating on this health question? See for yourself the part Bile plays in your physical make-up. Every authority concedes that Bile is the element that purifies and disinfects the food and food channel. Pure food for the blood means a healthy body. Pure food for the blood Is impossible without a free flow of Bile. PoDoLax Releases the Bile "PoDo," from Podophylln, the medical name for May Apple Root. In bibical times It was called "Maadrajce." "Lax," from Laxative, meaning to release gently without the purging, cathartic action of other bile starters. PoDoLax is the name. After thinking this over, after investigating for yourself, ask for Po DoLax and remember that the man who offers you "something better" or just as good" questions your Intelli gence.
