LONG TO HURL FOR RICHMOND IN NEXT GAME Manager Kenney Books Tuxola Athletic Club of Cincinnati Thomas Shows Poor Form in Games. Manager Kenny yesterday booked the Tuxola Athletic club of Cincinnati, for Sunday's attraction at the Athletic park. The Tuxola boys come -with a good record and promise to make the locals hump to get out of their losing trid Si-ndav the Tuxolas defeated

the strong New Albany club and a week before that they tooK tne Miacuetown, Ohio, team in a close game. Tr he well fortified with twirlers Kenney has written Chick Long of Dennison, Ohio, to report. Sjunday ana to be readv to step into the game. Chick has promised to be on hand according to his letter in which he writes, "I'll come any time you need me." Thomas has not been giving the Richmond club his best efforts from appearances the last two times out and if he does not show more spirit in Sunday's game Long will be assigned the regular job on the mound. Long worked for Richmond a few games last summer and more than made good with the fans who would be glad to see him back. He can hold his own with the best of them and wa3 a far better heaver than Vordenburg. Chick was given a chance to work out with the Fort Wayne Central league club this spring but as in the case of so many others who went out was not given a good overlooking, and where he had the natural ability he was released without getting an opportunity to start a game, where others with not enough class to play with Long were worked in preference to him because they had had previous tryouts with the club. Long pitched the Dennison, Ohio, club to a 7 to 1 victory last Saturday. Motorcycle Notes From Everywhere A 100-mile motorcycle race will be staged at Madison, Wis., on May 30.

THE DMLYe3

SPORT c5k "More public golf courses," is the cry of the ever-increasing army of golfers in every part of the United States, and it is likely that the big city governments will make answer by constructing additional courses for the use of the public. In greater New York, where the golf fever is raging fiercely and corraling hundreds of new victims each day, there are only two public courses one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan island. And there are at least fifty thousand persons who want to use these courses which have a total normal capacity of less than one thouj sand games a day. Crowds Arrive Early. On Sundays the crowds start to arrive at the golf links around 5 o'clock i in the morning. The city controls the parks and issues tickets that entitle the holder to play around once, but one's chance to get one the links depends upon one's early arrival. One golfer arrived at Van Cortland park at 6 a. m. on a recent Sunday. He thought he would be an early bird. He found, seventy-five golfers already on the course and more than one hundred more in line waiting their turns. This golfer finally got his chance to play at 12 o'clock a wait of six hours. In disgust he quit playing at 3 p. m., after negotiating ten holes in three

BUDGE' hours owing to the crowded condition of the course. In every other city of metropolitan nature where there are public courses there are at least a hundred times as many golfers as there is room in the links. But the municipal authorities are awakening. They realize at last that golf has become a game of the masses, as well as the classes now. They realize that it has as many probably more players than baseball, and before another year comes around some new municipal golf links courses may have come into being. VIGRANS TO MEET An important meeting of the Vigrans S. A. L. team will be held tonight at the store to consider offers for games from out of town teams. Manager Vigran requests that all players be present. ISSUE CHALLENGE. The West Side All-Stars are without a game for Sunday afternoon and would like to hear from some good team. The Tigers would be favorably considered. For games see Sam Vigran or Al Kuhtenbeck, 14 South West Third street.

ENTER 4 ATHLETES

Four men will be entered In the track meet at Oxford Saturday by the local high school. This is expected to be an exceedingly fast meet and Coach Nohr, while not expecting much scoring by his athletes, would neverthe less not be surprised if one of the boys pulled down one of the medals. The Oxford men will offer gold, silver, bronze and ribbon medals for the first four positions in each event. Dollins will be entered in the high jump, Thomlinson in the broad jump and shot, Carvey in the shot and discus, and Long in the mile run. Baseball Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Things begin to move whenever Dario Resta, winner of the last Vanderbilt and Grand Prize races at San Francisco, takes the track in the sneed preliminaries for the . next . Indianapolis 590-mile race. . Resta is an absolutely T fearless driver, of great expertness and skill, so that no chance looks too tough for him to take. Withal, he has one of the fastest cars ever built, and, consequently, can shcr.T to great advantage. It is the ordinary thing for Resta fo clock laps of 2 miles on the Indianapolis motor speedwa" in 1:35, or 95 miles an hour. Frequently, on the straightaways, he reaches 110. The above photograph shows him in one of these bursts of speed, stepping on the throttle for all it is worth, and fairly' splitting the air in his hurry. In the next 500-mile race he is carded as favorite, s

NUMBER OF OUTINGS AT PARK DECREASES The business depression, the fact that many men are unemployed and the cessation of railroad excursions, are the reasons put forth by Superintendent Ford of the city parks, why many picnics will not be held in 1915 in Richmond. In previous years during this time picnics were planned and scheduled tc be held in Glen Miller park, a pleasure resort known well in this section of the state. Thus far this season none have been arranged although it is expected that there will be the annual events of the lodges, churches and those societies which invariably hold a picnic in Glen Miller. A few automobile parties composed of people from Winchester, Greenfield and other nearby cities are also expected to picnic here this year.
