WILLIACISBUBG IMAGER PROTESTS LOSSOFBAri

O. G. Williams Says Visitors Had Game Stowed Away When Umpire Calls Off Contest. Vigran Comes Back With Reply Offering to Play Another Contest to Decide Supremacy. The following interesting letters were received in the morning mail by the Sporting Editor and they are given to the public because there is a great deal of interest over the controversy referred to in the communications. Williamsburg Letter. Williamsburg, August 24. Sporting Editor The Palladium. Dear Sir: In regards to a game of ball which was played at Richmond Sunday, August 22, 1 want to say to the Item sport writer that we did not agree to play till '6.15 or did we agree to play a series of games at the Athletic park, Richmond. Vigran and I agreed upon six o'clock as it is a state law. I also want to state in regard to the ball game (.hat we were on the field the last half of the seventeenth ready to finish the game. It was then four minutes to six but Richmond refused to play or finish the game. Neither did our umpire consent to them retiring without finishing the game. This they did for the purpose of calling the game back to the inning which then stood a tie. I claim the game under the State law. People who saw the game know, that they refused to finish and killed a lot of unnecessary time which is not legal in baseball. O. G. WILLIAMS. Mangr. Williamsburg B.B.C. Vlgran'a Answer. Richmond, Aug. 25. Sporting Editor, The Palladium. Dear Sir: I understand that Mr. Williams, manager of the Williamsburg B. B. C, has commented strongly in reference to last Sunday's game. According to the rules of baseball the game is legally a tie. Mr. Williams can claim the game sod other things if he wants to, but he can never truthfully claim that my team would not finish the game as Reddinghaus, the batter up in the last half of the seventeenth was ready and willing to bat and was up at the plate when the umpire agreed to call the game, as the state law prohibited further play. :. - . . Finally I wish to state that I am prepared and willing to play off the tie game at Athletic park on September 5 or 12. If Mr. Williams means business and wants to decide which is the better team, let him notify me in regard to one of these dates as I have other bookings under consideration. Yours for Sport, SAM S. VIGRAN, Mngr. Richmond B. B. C. Decision Stands. Mr. Williams claims that his team won the game and Mr. Vigran claims that it was a tie and according to the rules of baseball the Richmond manager is unquestionably right for the umpire called the game, which he had a perfect right to do under the laws laid down by the highest authorities the National Commission and so it will go down on the records as a tie game. If Mr. Williams is satisfied that he has the better team there is Just one way to settle the argument and that is make some arrangements for another game to be played here or in Williamsburg. There Is no queeton but that if such n game can be arranged it will draw tbe largest crowd ever turned out to n similar affair in Wayne county. Arrangements for a meeting between the managers in the dispute can easily be made If they care to ! plav off the tie. The financial end of the game would rrfount to considerable and the profits could be equally divided. Let each manager agree to play the Fame teams exactly as they had on the field Sundav and then the present argument will come to an end and the public will be treated ot some baseball that will be a little out of the ordinary. POSTPONE CENSUS BERLIN. Aug. 25. The German census for 1915 has been postponed, probably for military reasons. Lime-Loss in Tuberculosis la the Jouraal of the American Medical Aaaorlation (January 17, 1IM4I was the follow lari It hum been ma ay time stated that la tuberculoma or la the prrtubercnloala ataxe aa Increased amount of calcium (lime) Is lost, both in the arlae and feeea. la fact, a dcmlncrallxatloa has beea thought to be a forerunner of the development of tuberrnlnala "Forced feeding of tuberculoma patlcatn and the' enormoua amonat of en-a-a aad milk once alvcn aura patients are not now eonaldered ndviaable by a la rice number of phyaletana who are epeclallaino; In the treatment of pulmonary- tuberculoma." If tuberculosis Is due to a loss of lime from the system, the success of Eckman's Alterative in tbe treatment of this disease may be due, in fart, to the fact that it contains a Ime salt so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be easily assimilated. - Always we have urg-ed users of Eckman's Alterative to attend strictly to matters of food. In addition to rest and proper diet, some effective remedial agent seems to be needed, and In numerous cases at apparent recovery from tuberculosis and kindred throat and bronchial affections Eckman's Alterative has supplied this need. It does not contain opiates, narcotics or habit-formtns- drugs, so It is safe to try. Your druggist has it or will order it, or you can get It from us direct. Lkmaa Laboratory, Philadelphia.

RED SNYDER WANTS GO WITH JEFFERIES Red Snyder, the 133-pounder of Cincinnati, has written here for a match before the Richmond club against any boy of his weight. He is particularly anxious to meet Jefferies, and if these two could be brought together some good sport would be furnished the fans. Both Jefferies and Snyder are the kind of scrappers that like the mixing, and a fight between them would be worth going a long way to see. Snyder claims he can put the local boy to sleep inside of ten rounds, but there are few fans who believe that. The Cincinnati boy has never been seen here, but he has beaten some of the best boys of his weight, and is fast and just as clever as they make them. DARK HORSE BOYS ENTER FIELD MEET Entries to the Chautauqua athtetic meet to be held at the playgrounds next Saturday are being received at a rapid rate, and it is expected that it will be necessary to run the events off in heats. Those who have not already entered and intend to do so, are urged to file entries at once. Some of the fastest boys in Richmond have enrolled their names, and there are many entries from boys who have never participated in athletic events, so some surprises may be sprung.

REDS ADVANCE OVERJOYS FANS Iff CINCY TOWN Grand Rush of Herzog's Boys Toward Front Regardless of Opponents Recalls Boston's Spurt. BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, Aug. 25. Viewing and , reviewing the work of the Reds during the past two weeks, one is almost moved to indulge in a series of delighted chuckles, pat oneself on the back, and remark in low but gleeful accent, "I told you so." Nothing has occurred in the National League since the memorable spurt of the Bostons a year ago, and their subsequent victory in the world's , series, has aroused as much comment among base ball experts as has the recent work of Manager Herzog's team. True, the Reds still are down in the second division, but the manner in which they have been slaying all comers and dispelling the pennant hopes of several aspiring aggregations has given them a standing in the general dope that no position, however lowly, can dim. The only two weakneeses that have been apparent in this mighty rush, has been a bit of faltering at second base, and an occasional slip-up on the bases. The pitching has been superb; the hitting hard and timely, tbe general fielding of . a high order, and the work of both Wingo and Clark behind the bat as good as that of any backstopping department ?i any circuit. Pitchers Hit Pace. Harking back to the pitching department which is always a favorable subject for comment when things are going right no team in the National can boast of four steadier, more consistent hurlers than the Reds have in Dale, Schneider, McKenery and Toney. Of this quartet, Dale and McKenery are in their first season in fast company; Schneider has been up a little over a year, while Toney has been there and back on more than one occasion. All of them are young men, alt steady and ambitious, and likely to remain stars for some seasons to come. All the Reds need now to round out their pitching department into the best in the circuit is a good left-hander but at present there is no hurler of this description in sight. ' Promised Reception. If the Reds continue - the form against Boston and Philadelphia that they have been showing in their recent games with the Pirates, New York and Brooklyn, there will be some reception for them when they return home September 3 for a series of games with Miller Huggins' St. Louis Cardinals, including a double-header on Sunday, September 5. The recent Boosters' day, which brought out 15,000 fans on the occasion of the Reds' departure for the east, will not be a circumstance to the "welcome home" the boys will receive if they keep up their present clip. The last two weeks of the Reds' play, including Monday's game with Brooklyn, have been remarkable, including as they do, three victories in four games with Brooklyn, five in six games with Pittsburg, two in three games with New York, and two in three games with brboklyn, a total of twelve victories in the last sixteen games, a percentage of .750. Some speed, what?

STALLING' BRAVES START GRAND RUSH TO WORLD'S SERIES NEW YORK, Aug. 25. "Watch Boston"! That is the cry going the rounds of the National league circles today. Only three games behind the leading Phillies, the Braves appear to have at last hit their stride and apparently are on the way to another world's series. The onward rush of the Pirates was checked by Stallings' men, the latter taking four games from the Pittsburgh team. The spurt of the Reds is also attracting attention, Herzog sending his men along at an amazing clip. Only 8 games separate the leading Phillies from the tail-end Giants, and this shows that any team has a chance. DAYS PLANS ALTERED Two games which were arranged by the Central Labor Union to be played at Athletic park on Labor Day between the Richmonds and two other teams that were to be selected, will not be played. Teams from labor unions will meet that day, and good sport will be furnished, as some of the best players in the city are members of unions and are eligible. The lineup will be announced later. PLAY IN LEWISBURG The Red Sox will play at Lewisburg, O., next Sunday and will take along their strongest team for the Ohio lads are not to be trifled with as they have a fast team and the Sox are anxious to defeat them.

OXFORDS STRONG LINEUP TO GAME HERE

The Dayton Oxfords who play . the Richmond team ' here Sunday, are claiming the championship of Dayton after trimming the Marcos last Sunday. They claim the only other team in their city worthy of consideration is St. Mary's Cadets, and that team wants none of their, game. There is little doubt but that, the Oxfords are one of the strongest amateur teams in that section of their country, and they have , come mighty good boys in their line-up. Manager Vigran will put his strongest team In tbe field but will not give out his line-up until he is certain whether Dayton will use. a right or left hander against them, or the ambidexterous Brown, v Dayton's line-up will be: Krapp, rf; Bunk, If; Lyman, lb; Holder, c; Jordan, cf; Welbaum, 2b; Tesno, as; Peterbaugh, 3b, "and G. Wolf, C. Wolf or Brown, p. Tesno, Holder and Jordan have all played here before and are sluggers against almost any kind of pitching. S. A. L. TO DECIDE WHETHER TO STAGE POST SEASON GAME There will be a meeting of the S. A. L. Friday night at the Y. M. C. A. to determine whether or not it will be advantageous to the league ; to play double-headers or not in order to complete the schedule, which was recently reduced to fifteen games.1 League officials are afraid that under the present weather conditions it will be impossible to play even the fifteen game schedule. At this meeting it will also be determined whether or not the Vigrans and Natcos will play . a Sunday . game In the event these two teams finish the season in a tie. Some of the managers favor a Sunday game, believing it would be a big attraction and draw an immense for the annual league banquet will also be made, and committees appointed to attend to the details. LABOR COUNCIL GIVES PROGRAM Sr 2 FOR PICNIC Announcement has been made by the Central Labor union that the annual picnic of the organization and affiliated orders would be held at Athletic park on Labor day, Sep:nber 6. It will be an all-day picnic, with a program that will surpass any celebration ever held in this city, it is said. The program includes a diversified list of events for both the children and grown-ups. The events are: For the Children Potato race, peanut gleaners race, sack race for boys, time race around diamond, first race for girls under sixteen, second race for boys under fifteen; free for all race from grandstand to signboard and return; tug of war for girls, tug of war for boys. For the Grown-ups Contest open to teams of ten from different unions, unions to issue challenge: Fat men's race, lean men's race, time race around the diamond for baseball fans; baseball game. Prizes will be given to the winners of the different events. Dancing will be a feature of the day. CIRCLE ENTERTAINS. NEW PARIS, O., Aug. 25. The Rev. Ruth E. Hemphill, Mrs. Lena Kessler and Mrs. Jeennie Kessler were hostesses Tuesday afternoon for a meeting of the Social Cirf le and invited guests in the parlors of the Methodist church. A pleasant afternoon ' was spent and refreshments were served. The rooms were gaily decorated, yellow being the color used most profusely. Great Demand for New . Constipation Remedy j They say that the advent of the "sentanel tablet" as a vegetable substitute for' calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chront-5 constipation, who were quick to recognize its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely w tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning instead of encouraging the "cathartic habit." Also, Instead of Injuring the membraneous lining ot the organs involved, they exert a healing Influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their inexpenslveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets.

WHADDA YOU MEAN. A bunch of ponies were ees trotting down Main ; street yesterday and . it called forth the remark that there was no burlesque show In town, that they were the real thing. HE WAS GUILTY. "Two hundred rooters attack Utipire, One arrest," reads a headline. It dont say whether the person arrested was one of the rooters or the umpire,'! but it must have been the latter. " WE'RE SAFE YET. The public prints say that Basil Manley states that the present unrest of the laboring classes is caused by swollen fortunes and advocates the seizure of all inheritances of over $1,000,000,000,000. We should worry. HOW ABOUT BURLESQUES. One of the fellows was handed an assignment to cover the story on "How Marjorie Won a Career" at the Murrette yesterday, while we had to pound this out. Gee, but some guys are lucky Nothing like that ever comes our way. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. Some of the boys stole a badge from a policeman out at Chautauqua the other day. Now we rise up to the remark that the guardian of public safety should not be treated in such a manner. Think of boys, and little ones at that, daring to take such an unfair advantage of one poor lone policeman. Its a shame, so it is. TOO CLOSE WHERE? Paper the other day said. "Too close for dinner." !We never found it to warm to respond to, the clarion call "of the dinner bell, not even in some of the boarding bouses " we could tell many mysterious hash stories about.
