OPTIMISTS PREDICT wiPTnnv nurn rcnc viuiuni uicn nuo Most Rabid Fans Believe Chick Long Can Defeat Tinker's Men. The greatest exhibition of the national pastime ever staged in Rlchxnand. Is the anticipation of Richmond baseball fans on the eve ot the Richmond-Chicago Federal game at Athletic park. The Chifeds -will be here with their regular line-up that played in the game yesterday in the East and the promise has been given the Richmond management that Claude Hendrix, the star Chicago pitcher, will pitch for the visitors. According to dope and percentages, there is no plausible reason why Richmond should be victorious, although there are many of the Richmond fans who honestly believe that if Chick Long Is in his regular form, he will be able to hold the visitors to a low score and, perhaps, if luck breaks with the home team, he will be able to come out victorious. In batting, Richmond is far above the average semi-pro team and it may be that this will count a long way toward winning. In addition to this, the Chifeds are comparatively weak In hatttne and the local fans are anxious to see Long show the Federals that he has professional class to him. Anxious to Win. Long, himself is anxious to make good for several reasons. In the first place, he is making a reputation and if he suceeds in holding the visitors to a few hits, it will mean a feather In his cap. He is already being considered by Manager Tinker, of the Chifeds, as a probability for next year and his showing tomorrow will go a long way In determining his ability to the Chicago manager. Novack, at catch for Richmond, is still in doubt whether he will be able to fill the position Sunday. Manager Kenney is not satisfied with the catching of Kneisley, who took Novack's place last week after the regular catcher had suffered a sunstroke and was unable to play. Novack is considered one of the fastest catchers In semi-pro ball and his absence will be noticed. Llchtendahl, the speedy left fielder, will be back in the game for Richmond after one absence on account of the death of his father. All the other regular players on the Richmond team will be in the line-up tomorrow and no other players will be imported for the occasion, so if victory occurs it will be truly a Richmond victory. Promises Real Game. "Don't say we will win, but they will know there has been a ball game," are the words of Dick Kenney, manager of the Quakers. A letter was received from him this morning and he has given the assurance that Novack will be in the game tomorrow as he has practically recov ered from his illness, which kept him out of the last two games. According to Kenney, Red Dahl will also be in the line-up without fail. The finishing touches were put on the diamond this morning and it is in excellent condition. The rain of Friday afternoon did not damage. Other1 improvements, such as the fixing of the screens, scraping and dragging the diamonds and weeding it, have been made during the past week. "Can assure you the regular line-up," reads a telegram received today from Charles Weeghman. A request has been sent him by the local club officials to have Hendrix pitch part of the game and assurance has also been given that this request will aslo be complied with. Open Gates Early. The game will be called promptly at 2:45 o'clock. The gates will be open at 12 o'clock and judging from the number of tickets sold, there will be the biggest crowd ever witnessing a ball game in Richmond, present tomorrow. The following is the line-up of both teams: left field. Zwilling, Wickland. right field. Walsh, center field. demons, Roberts, catch. Tinker, short stop. Beck, first base. Fritz, third base. Farrell, second base. Hendrix, McGuire, Fish, catch. Richmond Netter, right field. Merkle, center field. Novack, Knisely, catch. Popkins, first base. Dahl, left field. Leininger, third base, Schlenker, second base. Cushing, short stop. Long, Vordenburg, pitch. CHESTER, IND. The Ladies Aid met Wednesday afternoon in the hall. The time was spent quilting. There were fifteen members present. The society will meet again in two weeks.

FEW HURLERS USE

DECEPTIVE SP1TTER Leaguers Realize That Moist Fling Shortens Career on Mound. The spit-ball is falling into disuse. Very few of . the twirlers in the big leagues are using it today, and those who do are using it sparingly. The wise pitchers have cast it aside, knowing that even though the use of the moist fling may add to their string of vie tories it will mean the shortening of their careers. Jack Chesbro used it back in 1904 when he almost pitched the Yankees into the leadership of the league. But the use of the spit-ball practically ruined Chesbro as a star performer. Ed. Walsh used the spit-ball for several years and his success was phenomenal. But the price was high, for Walsh's arm today is in such condition i that he never knows whether it will serve him the full route or whether a kink will appear and force him to surrender the hurling job to a relief pitcher. "Jeff" Tesreau used the spit-ball to a great extent when he first landed on major league soil. But he isn't doing it with such reckless abandon as of yore. Jeff soon learned that the spitball "kinked" the arm, if used freely, and now he throws it only in emergencies. Few Cling To It There are several other pitchers in the big leagues who still throw the spit-ball, but they are throwing it just about a half dozen times during the game. Some of the fans believe they throw it oftener because of the deception practised by the pitcher of putting the ball up near the mouth and seeming to lubricate it. Batters aren't fond of spit-balls. They hate to Bee them coming. So the pitchers who have discarded the use of the dampened twister, very often bluff at pitching one. The passing of the spit-ball comes as good news to the infielders. In the years when the spit-ball was generally used errors were frequent on account of the spit-ball. A pitcher would gloss the ball freely with saliva and slippery elm or tobacco juice, a batter would hammer it to the infield, the infielder would grab it and start to throw, only to find that the slippery ball had glided from his fingers. Quite often when the infielder was able to get the ball away in the direction of the base the ball would take a wild slant and result in a horrible error. Stop Sport Writing. If the guiding spirits in the world of athletics don't stop making rules concerning the athletes there won't be anybody but reporters writing articles for newspapers. The last crushing blow dealt to "authors" has been handed out by the United States Golf Association which decided that amateur golfers who were receiving money for writng newspaper articles in which they explained certain golf shots were guilty of professionalism. In view of the fact that most of the leading golfers in this country have been doing that very thing, it would seem that we haven't any more amateurs in our midst that is, none but the duffers. But the U. S. A. isn't going to be overly harsh on the fellows who have been writing and posing as amateurs at the same time. It probably will send word to them that as soon as their present contracts expire they must desist, or lose their amateur standing, but that no penalty will be meted out for their past offense. They probably will be forgiven on the pretext that they didn't know any better. PUNS P00L EVENTS Parker to Attract Chautauqua Campers. If co-operation is promised by swimmers Charles Parker, concession holder at Hawkins bathing pool and Morton lake beach will have a swimming program in the pool during Chautauqua. The pool is always popular while the Chautauqua is in session and early morning swimming parties are not uncommon. During Chautauqua sessions is the one time in the season when girls and young women are usually in the majority. Mr. Parker has several fancy swimmers and divers who are willing to put on a diving exhibition. A number of women have also learned to dive from ths board this season and there are many good swimmers among them. MASONIC CALENDAR Tuesday Richmond Lodge No. 196, F. and A. M. Called meeting.

SIMPLIFY DELIVERY

OF PEHSIOH CHECKS New Rules Allow Postmen to Use Discretion in Leaving Papers. Orders received by Postmaster Beck from the department at Washington today relative to pensions, greatly simplify the delivery of pension checks to the veterans and other pen sioners. Instead of requiring the pensioners to make out a personal voucher to the county clerk, the former method, or demanding that the pensioner receive the check in person, it is left to the discretion of the mail carriers to de liver the envelopes to known members of the family on presentation of the pension certificate and an order of the pensioner. The pension checks are sent out on the fourth day of August, November February and May to Indiana and fit teen other states. Each pensioner is numbered and with the name and ad aress is printed the certincate num ber for comparison. Most of the veterans are waiting for the checks as they know on what day they are delivered. There are not many, cases where the pensioner cannot be found to receive the envelope in person. MOTHER SHOW HERE Small Boy Hears of Coming Circus. "And Buffalo Bill himself!" said the dark-eyed man who leaned over the corner of the desk this morning. Following which he waved his hand. "And Zora, the bravest woman in the world, with her three herds of elephants, honestly, and forty clowns, and Devlin's Zouaves, and Indians, and cowboys, and ropers, and riders, and a menagerie that cost a fortune, and the famous Rhoda Royal troupe of trained horses, and ." Whereupon there came a bit of an interruption in the form of a card, which proclaimed that the dark-eyed man was William E. Haines, contracting agent of the Sells-Floto circus and Buffalo Bill (himself), which is to appear here for a single day's engagement Friday, September 18. Mr. Haines is one- of the busiest members of the great circus staff. A thousand and one arrangements for the "circus of 1,001 wonders" are his to make and that was the reason for his visit today. A moment of digression, and then the flood of information began. "Bigger this year?" asked Mr. Haines. "Listen. When that circus comes here it will pitch exactly eleven acres of tents with a seating capacity of 14,000. And that means a program that is just a little bigger than anything that ever happened."

FEDS LOSE MONEY

BUT MAKE FRIENDS JAMES A GILMORE. "Oh, yes, we're losing money," said President Gilmore of the new Federal league when in this city, "but we're making so many friends that we're not particularly worried about it. Every club in the circuit is losing money but the steady gains in attendance lead us to believe that by next year we will be equally as well established as either of the big leagues."
