Baseball Polo Bowling VIGRANS TAKE AD-HILL TEAM BY ONE POINT Starrs Again Forfeit by Failing to Appear Fence Factory Will Get Piano Makers' Berth. "Y" INDOOR LEAGUE. W. L. Pet. Vigrans 2 0 1000 Natco 2 0 1000 Panhandle 1 1 500 Ad-Hlll 1 1 500 Starr 0 2 000 A. S. M 0 2 000 Despite the fact that the Ad-Hills flashed their new uniforms on the Vigrans Saturday night and had the help of that sterling player J. Jones, the team went down to defeat before the fierce slugging of the opponents by 16 to 15. The game -was the best staged so far and it was only after the hardest kind of battle and a belated rally that the victors were declared. In fact up to the last inning they were four runs shy of the Ad-Hills who had taken a long lead in the second and third innings making 4 and 5 runs respectively. The Victors won by bunching hits in the last of the seventh sending six men across the plate on as many hits. Two two baggers helped considerably. Noticeable improvement was shown in the hitting of both teams, every bingle being the cleanest possible and no less than six two baggers were made, three for each team. Pitchers Perform Well. The score shows just how even the two teams battled with the Vigrins being entitled to the game. The pitchers records show the two respective tv.lrlers dishing them up with about equal skill, both being steady, allowing but one base on balls, with R. Jones, Ad-Hill heaver, getting 4 by the whiff route while Helmick turned five back. Johnny Holmes was the hitting kid sending out five safe ones in six times up, one of them being food for a double. Stover, his teammate came next with three safe swats out of four times up. Both teams were equal in errors committing the offense six times. Perhaps the feature of the game was the surprising fast work of Pop Jones who donned the uniform of the AdHills. There is no doubt about it he certainly did put up some game in the early part threatening to win the eame unassisted with his speedy base running and batting. He lead the Held in stolen bases with 3. Stars Drop Out. The Natcos once more showed up with no opponents, th-e Starrs again falling to put in their appearance. So the Natcos are today on even terms with the Vigrans without playing a single game. The Richmond Fence Factory will be given the Starrs berth and if possible will be given an opportunity to play off the games which the Starrs have failed to play. VIGRANS. AB. R. H. PO. E.

Queerest Plays Seen onDiamond "Talk about your queer plays," says Johnny Holmes. "We had one of the flukiest ones pulled off on our team when I was playing on the Army team, 29th Infantry ever heard of. We were playing the Casea Belles of Buffalo at Fort Niagara a few years back when I was in the army. This team is about the best semi-pro team in Buffalo but despite that we bested them 2 to 0. The peculiar play came in about the seventh inning this way. "We had first and second occupied with base runners and the man at bat hot a liner over second which looked good for at least a two bagger. Both foase runners started out at full tilt for home. Imagine their surprise when the player who had been on first ran plump Into Durham the Casca's second sacker who had made a remarkable one hand stab for a flyout 4n the batter and turning around to run into the players coming from first for an out and then touching second for a triple out without an assist.

SUN STAYS HIDDEN ALMOST ALL WEEK The sun was chary of his presence last week, according to the report of the co-operative weather observer, who says Wednesday was the only clear day during the seven, while all others were either cloudy or partly cloudy. With exception of Sunday when the mercury climbed to 51 degrees the maximum varied between 40 and 42 degrees. The minimum was 21 degrees on Wednesday. On Tuesday and Friday nights the minimum was above freezing. Rainfall amounted to .44 inches.

I don't know where she got the name Gibbs." Lamb will appear against his wife as a character witness. General Joffre never has less than 200 officers workin gwith him at headquarters.

MENTION RITTER FOR PRESIDENCY OF NEW LEAGUE

Indiana State Circuit Post pones Election of Officers Until Sixth Club Enters to Take Voice in Ballot. Seven clubs were represented at the meeting of .the Indiana State league yesterday afternoon at the Eagles Hall: Newcastle, Tommy Ritter; Connersville, Jack Remington; Rushville, Doo Hiner; Richmond, Cambridge City, Frohnapfel and Wheeler; Queen City club of Cincinnati, Baumgardner; T. T.'s of Indianapolis, Vogel. Charley Becker, of the Perkins-Campbells of Cincinnati, failed to attend but sent his application to Tommy Ritter and also told George Brehm that he was anxious to be included in the league if it went through. Ritter Is Mentioned. The election of officers was postponed until Thursday afternoon when the sixth club will be selected and officers will be elected in Cambridge City. The postponement of election resulted because members thought the sixth club representative should have a hand in voting for the men who handled the destinies of the league. Tommy Ritter was spoken of as president, but owing to the fact that he may manage the Newcastle club he would not consent until he found out for certain whether or not he would accept the management of the club as he believed as several others that the president should not be affiliated in any way or other with any of the clubs. He will probably know by meeting time Thursday. "Cambridge City has not signed a man," said Mr. Frohnapfel, "but we will get busy right away and line up a strong team as is possible to get together." The team will be known as a home team but will be in reality a traveling aggregation. The league season will start June 6 but previous to that all the traveling clubs will be booked once in each city to show the fans the calibre of the teams and if falling short will be strengthened enough to hold their own with the home teams. Cambridge has been booked in Rushville May 2, Connersville May 9, Richmond May 16 and Newcastle May 30. To Require Forfeits. To make sure that the various teams will finish out the season a forfeit of $250.00 will be required. This will insure the league of a full season as no team is going to give that amount up especially a semi-pro team. The enthusiasm which the representatives have shown however makes the matter of forfeit money seem rather a superfluous article as it is reasonable to believe that they would all finish, the season or bust. The Perkins-Campbell will be the sixth member of the league if they see fit to accept and will be corresponded with to that effect. Offer Schedule Prize. The name of the league as adopted and endorsed will go under the non-de-plume of Indiana State League. For the person sending in the best schedule of twenty-four games a prize of $10 and a season ticket to any of the games throughout the circuit will be presented. John Emrey, of the Pennsylvania, was a visitor at the meeting. He came in the interest of the company with rates and schedules. Labor Day, Decoration Day and July 5 were declared open dates and that in case arrangements were perfected for games among the league teams on those dates that the outcome would not count in the percentage columns. From present indications this league will be the most successful ever attempted in this state both from the sports side as it will tend to speed up the game and from the fans side who if given high class ball will support it in a way to make the clubs backers appreciate there is such a thing as baseball. MARLATT INSTRUCTS FORD TO BUY BIRDS Charles Marlatt of the board of public works, who has supervision over park affairs, said today that Park Superintendent Ford had been instructed to investigate into the advisability of purchasing two ostriches for the Glen Miller zoo. These valuable birds, which ordinarily sell for $400 or more apiece, are being offered by an Arizona concern for $30 each and if two good birds can be purchased for this amount the city will probably contract for them. A place for them could be provided either in the elk range or the deer park. In winter special quarters, well heated, would have to be provided for them. Mr. Marlatt thinks they would be a great attraction at the park. The purchase of a pair of buffaloes is also being considered. Auction sales originated in ancient Rome, and were introduced to enable soldiers to dispose of spoils of war.

NIGHT CLASS WORK TO FORM EXHIBITS Pickell Provides for Unusual Display at Art Gallery During May. Work of some of the night school classes will be exhibited at the annual exhibit of the Richmond city schools, which will be held in the art gallery of the High school building some time in May. Principal Pickell said that he expected to arrange for special exhibition of the night school work next year, and that announcement would be made at the beginning of the fall term. Only four more nights remain for the high school. In a few cases the attendance dropped off during the last month so that it is found impracticable to run the classes. No grades or diplomas are given the night school pupils at the completion of the work.
