THREE HURLERS GET CHANGES IN GAMES OVER JULY FOURTH There'll be baseball aplenty In Richmond on July 4 and 5 as arrangements were today completed for a double header between Richmond and Cambridge City at the Athletic park Monday, games to be played In the morning beginnin gat 10 o'clock and the afternoon game between the same teams to start at the regular time. Three twirlers will be carried by the club for those two days Lassing, Bacon and Wallace. The work shown b ythe trio will probably insure one or more of them a regular Job with the club since the desertion of Leake. The rest of the lineup will remain unchanged, it being the idea of the club to give them one more chance and if they do not come across with winning ball a mighty upheavel will take place. Only the Sunday game will count in the percentage column of the I. S. Li. the Manday games being played by the two teams on a percentage basis. In view of the fact that this will be the only sport event so far scheduled in the city on that day the players are counting on realizing a nice profit tor themselves and assure the fans that they will put up just as classy an argument of ball as if they were playIns for the leadership of the league. GRAYS TAKE TO ROAD New Pari3 Grays have about completed arrangements to finish the season on the road and with that aim in view have booked a double header at Eldorado with the Lewisburg outfit for the fifth. For Sunday they have as the attraction the Ansonia boys at New Paris. Minner, Vigran twirler, made a good impression with the Grays Jianagement last Sunday and will play with them on July 5. Williams another local lad will play Sunday. BASEBALL DAY. SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 30 Enthused over the showing made by the South Bend baseball team in the Southern Michigan League, the fans today celebrated "Baseball Day." The merchants closed their business houses and shops. An automobile parade preceeded the afternoon's game with Saginaw. For the past two seasons the South Bend team has been the best attendance drawer. VIGRANS PREPARE FOR HAGERSTOWN The Vigrans are booked with the fast Hagerstown aggregation at that city on the Fourth and vvil remain idle on the fifth. A field meet will be staged by the Hagerstown boys previous to the game on the Fourth. Since their victory over the Red Sox last Sunday the) Hagerstown boys have taken on a lot of confidence and expect to take the Richmond club. FORMER RESIDENTS PLAY AT CARNIVAL Twelve hundred paid admissions marked the second night of the Mazeppa United Shows, which are holding a carnival this week on the ground adjoining Doran bridge on the west side. The carnival undoubtedly is proving one of the most successful ever held in Richmond. All of the thirteen shows did a land office business last night, the Wild West being especially popular. The big Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round were also popular with the crowd, and the concessions were well patronized. Mr. and Mrs. Geyer, whose performance upon the trapeze comprises a free exhibition, were given a second ovation last night. In the performance of difficult feas they were loudly ap- j plauded. The free acts will be given i each evening. Especial interest is j taken in the work of Mr. and Mrs.: (leyer, as both are former residents j of this city. '

Sport writers who seek interviews .vith baseball loaders in these frivo-, ious days should provide themselves j with witnesses for such occasions, so they can have a come-back when the! leaders repudiate the interviews. Ban Johnson started the repudiating . fashion a month or two ago. At that time Ban was in Boston, and a very reliable and very accurate sporting writer sought out Ban and asked him a few words on tne Dasenau situation j generally. Ban. in one of his talkative i moods, talked and talked at length, j The next day there appeared in the paper a mighty interesting interview credited to Ban Jahnson. which created something of a sensation because the quoted words of Ban made it look very much as if baseball peace was a certainty in the near future which it is. Some of the associates of Ban in the baseball business read the article and got pretty much wrought up over it. The interview seemed to show that ban had spilled the beans had tipped off the dear old public to what was before the date fixed by Ban's asso

MISS DECKER WEDS EATON, O., June 30. Sidney Brubaker, of Eldorado, and Miss Pearl E. Decker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Decker, west of this city, were married Tuesday morning by Rev. Charles A. Hunter at the Presbyterian parsonage. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Brubaker, of Eldorado, but formerly residents of Eaton. SPLIT OVER TRUCK EATON, ., June 30. At their last regular meeting, members of city council failed to agree upon the kind of fire truck to be purchased, and the matter will be discussed further at another meeting Monday night. A truck manufactured by the Harwood-Barley Company, Marion, Ind., received serious consideration, but when the matter of favor was voted upon the ballots of the councilmen were evenly divided. BUDGE' ciates. Whether Ban's associates telegraphed him or got his on the longdistance phone and panned him is not known. But the same afternoon Ban gathered the newspaper folks around him and said, in effect: "Boys, look at me; I'm a wronged man. Ain't it terrible. And the wrong that has been did me was did by one of your fellow sport writers. Yes, sir-ee; one of your fellow laborers. He committed the heinious crime of misquoting me. He put words in my month that I never uttered. He put a false construction on the words I did utter. He practically said in his article that I intimated that peace was not far distant. Peace? How absurd how totally, absolutely absurd! "Boys, please deny in your organs that I gave out such an interview as that fellow printed. The organs pealed forth the denial, and the sport writer who got that first interview was in Dutch, but he insists, and will take oath to that effect that the interview that he printed was the interview that Ban gave him.

NAME NEW FIREWORKS AFTER SATANIC BEING

Richmond dealers in firecrackers and fireworks this year are wondering whether the makers lose sleep originating names for the variegated lines they manufacture. Here are a few of the names of fireworks on display in this city and being sold to Young America for Fourth of July celebration: "Devil Among the Tailors," "Son-of-a gun," "Raise the Devil," "Yip Yap Fountain, "Hornet's Nest," "Willowtree Rockets," "Flashlight Bombshell," "Wizard Candle," "Surprise Box" and "Whistling Willie." All of these are fashioned to fascinate the eye with a rare color combination, or delight the ear at least the youthful ear with a reverberating noise. Some of these go up in the air, some perform antics resembling a wriggly snake, some sizzle and some explode. Safety is Assured. NEW PARIS The Presbyterian Sunday school remembered Mrs. Ethmer Reid with a beautiful box of sweet peas Tuesday. Mrs. Reid is ill at her home north of New Paris with typhoid fever, but is doing nicely. A. C. Shaeffer and Miss Charles spent Monday here on Harper's Weekly business. The Salvation Army of Richmond, held a street meeting here Monday evening and attracted a large crowd. Two "lassies" accompanied by a preacher gave musical selections on organ and cornet and were well received. Cecil White is a victim of mumps. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Duf field and family motored to Glen Karn Sunday and visited Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Richards. Messrs. and Mesdames Fast of Dayton, and Ray Cummins of Richmond, were Sunday evening callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allie White. rHESE CUBS OF '05 ALONE SURVIVE IN THE BIG LEAGUES Frank Schulte (top) and Johnny Evers. Of the wonderful Chicago Cub machine that was built up ten years ago only two of its members still survive in the major leagues. They are Frank Schulte, still an important factor in the Cub line-up, and Johnny Evers of the Boston Braves.

"Safety first" would be the appropriate name of one article of the 1915 menu. This is a safety repeating cracker, guaranteed not to injure the user. No firecrackers longer than five inches are sold here because of the city ordinance prohibiting it, and the ruling of the interstate commerce com- j mission. j Dealers believe that children have become infused with a certain degree of war spirit which makes them long to make as much noise on this "one special occasion presented to them, as all the bombs being exploded across the water. The war has not affected the price of fireworks-., although some, contain- i ing German-made chemicals are not being sold. Boys and girls who have always bought this certain kind, among others they used, will not lack for substitutes, however. The shark holds the record for long distance swimming. One has been known to cover 300 miles in three days.

Hughie Jennings Manager of Detroit "Tigers", says "After a red hot finish in a ball game a pipe full of Tuxedo makes victory sweeter, or defeat more endurable. Ee yah for Tuxedo." "Come on, boys Smoke Up! With TUXEDO!" " Ee yah ! " That's Hughie Jennings battlecry, out there on the coaching line by third base. He's one of the pepperiest, gingeriest men in baseball; always up on his toes, rooting for dear life, making those runs come in.

Want to get some of that old snappy feeling yourself? Smoke Tuxedo, same as Jennings does. It'll boost you right up into the zingdooey class of fellows who are always on the go, full of vim and good nature, piling up success.

ONE-LEGGED HIKER STARTS TO SEATTLE Although possessed of only . one foot, John Stringfellow, painter and paper hanger, is attempting a 3,000mile walk from Dayton to Seattle. Stringfellow camped last night on a vacant lot at West Sixth and Main streets. ( The hiker would rather brave the vicissitudes of life on foot behind a small push cart, earning a living by selling spark plugs and post-cards, than wait in Dayton until his trade again becomes normal and offers him a living. Taking the hike with him is his dog, Spot. The animal is fond of his master and whimpers whenever" Stringfellow is out of sight. The cart is of the hiker's own design and is a compact and complete living and camping outfit on rubbertired wheels. Nothing was forgotten in making up the list of articles, and the cart is so arranged in compartments that any article can be found at once. A tent, folding canvas cot, bed clothing, extra laundry, a gasoline stove, a gasoline tank to carry an extra supply, cooking utensils and food are among the things carried. A storage battery and electric lights are part of the outfit.

When Frank Chance joined the big leagues in 1S98 he signed at $1,200. And was eager about it. Today a bush league star would scoff at that sun. There was a time when there was more honor and teas money in playing in fast company. Chance, though he started low, came to be the highest salaried manager in the game.
