LOCALS TRAIN FOR GAME WITH WILLIAMSBURG Beth Richmond and Williamsburg are getting In shape for the game at Athletic park next Sunday and the game promises to be the hardest contested struggle fought here in a long time, as there Is a great rivalry between the two teams and both are out to do their "darndest." Neither manager will announce their batteries until the last moment and both have even refused to give their lineups. So many letters have passed between Vlgran and Williams that it is doubtful if they will even speak when they meet on the field. T GIANTS PLAY RESERVES. Fairvlew Reserves afcd tne Union Giants will meet next Sunday and as there Is a great rivalry between these teams a good game is anticipated.

Pat Moras. Here's the manager that will probably lead the winners of the National League pennant. If he does, he will accomplish a task that was tried unsuccessfully by such great managers as Harry Wright, Arthur Irvin and others. If the Phillies win the pennant it will be the first time they have done so in the history of the national game.

EARLHAM PLAYERS GET LIGHT WORKOUT Despite the warm weather Coach Whiteside has been keeping the boys at Earlham busy on the gridiron and he has a better list of candidates for the football team than haB turned out In several years and a lot of .the material is class Last night Huttotn, Collins, Little, Meeks, Hadley, Winslow, Peterson, Kampe, Reese, Canady, Mitchell, Edwards, Bowen, Pennington, McKee, Oennett, Calvert, Peacock, Mills, Cox, Brunner, Loell and many others donned the canvas and toyed with the ball. Whiteside does not care to take any chances with bis men so early in the season and put them through signal practice only. Earlham 's prospects thi3 year for a strong team are bright and the present outlook is that it will be the strongest eleven in years. "Y" POOL IS POPULAR With the re-opening of the swim ming pool in the Y. M. C. A., the largest number of men and boys which has taken advantage of it this summer "went in" yesterday. Twenty-eight boys used the pool at 4 o'clock in the afternoon andthlrty-five men had the use of It in the evening.

AT NOTRE DANE TiliS SEASON

Jesse C- Harper, coach of the Notre eleven, face the very difficult taak of building a ehajafloaahip taw with the lightest and greenest material that the Indiana college, has offered in many years. : Bat Harper isnt really discouraged. -: :;; r "Some of the sophomores may develop Quickly into real start.: said Harper, "and 1 am aure that before the season gets very far along I can weld together a team that will be a credit to Notre Dame.- -- Only five of the 1914 regulars survived the Jane graduation, and only five of the fifteen second string men of last' year are 'available for doty now. Cofall, a heady, player, a good punter and drop kicker, la among the few stars that are left of the 1914 team. He weighs 178 and is- a wonder either at halfback or quarter. He is a certainty . for one of. the backfleld positions. Elward, one of last year's star ends, is back. - - He weighs only- 145 pounds,' but he's as fleet as a deer and will be a regular. Harper doesn't need to worry about the center of his line. The three regulars of last year Keefe, left guard. Backmann," right guard and Fitzgerald at center, art holdovers and this trio constitutes a powerful factor on the defense. - Line Candidates. . . Ward, a 190 pounder, and Holmes, 175 pounds, probably will land the tackle positions. Both got a lot of experience last year as first string substitutes. Banyan, who performed some spectacular feats when subbing in 1914 looks good enough to pair off with El ward on the wings. Stephen, . 195 pounds, a substitute last year, shows possibilities. O Donnell is the other substitute left over. ' He's a 165 pound center.. . The backfield is what will cause Harper his greatest trouble. Graduation robbed him of all his backfleld regulars with the exception of Cofall. The line smashing Elchenlaub is gone; so are Plisbe, Bergman, Kelleher, Duggan, Finnigan and Berger. And their, going has forced Harper, to the extreme of plugging up three backfield holes with light weight "freshles" of 1914. Backfleld Candidates. On paper the backfleld candidates look extremely punk. On the field, after a few weeks of practise, they may look better but it's doubtful. The three candidates for quarterback are Phelan, 160 pounds, Bergman, 150 and Doris, 140. All of them seem too light. Bergman is a brother of the backfield Bergman of 1914 and Dorias is a. brother of the wonderful Notre Dame quarterback of 1913. Jones is the leading candidate for fullback, but he is extremely slow. The others who will fight for jobs back of the line are Malone, 150 pounds, Miller, 155 and Slackford, 160. "If one of the new candidates for the guard positions show up . well, I may give him a Job on the line and switch Bachmann from guard to fullback" said Harper. "All the backfleld material is extremely light. But the men are fast there is ho denying that. I'd like to have a backfield averaging around 170 or 175 but it doesn't look as if I'll get one. So I'll just go ahead with what I've got and try to make speed replace our lack of brawn." BOWLERS WARM UP FOR SEASON'S WORK The city league is being organized for the coming bowling season and many of the boys are working bard every night getting in condition. Two teams are being formed by the Natcos and they hope to be represented in both the City and Commercial leagues The Commercial league will likely be represented by the same teams as last year, namely, Elcnenberry, Sprouse, Parks, Hadley and one other. probably the Natcos. The city league entries so far are Lichtenfeis, Major Meyers and The Vogue.

WILKES-BARRE TWIRLER TO GET CHANCE

Vj Beret skL VJ ' IO-vC

Manager Pete Noonan, of the

Wilkes-Barre team of the New York State league, says that the Boston Americans have notified him that they will file a draft for Pitcher BeretskL of the Barons. Noonan picked up Mike Beretski, nineteen-year-old boy, off the sand lots of Wilkes-Barre last spring. The kid started to show form right from the . start, beating Montreal and Rochester, of the International league, in the spring training games. He won fifteen and lost ten games in the State league,' which is not at all bad for a beginner when it is remember, ed that the" Barons made a miserable showing all year, losing sixtyone and winning only fifty-two con-, tests. Mike has exceptionally good control, a good curve and fast ball and nerve ts spare. He is s right l bander and can bit as well sis pitch.

During the evening a number of ladles were oa the floor and they rolled several games with very good averages. The managesneat of the City alleys is giving particular attention to the ladies this season and hopes that there will be some teams formed among the members of the flair sex.

"Y" FIXES REST ROOM Because of the gradual increase in the number of women visiting the T. M. C. A., the rest room on the second floor which has been used as a storeroom for four years is being improved and made into a rest room. Workmen have constructed a plaster partition which will permit of a storeroom near the kitchen to facilitate the work of the persons employed in the restaurant The rest room after it is furnished, is expected to become popular.

REDS' DAGKERS LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR Still Hope to Finish Not More Than Three' Places Frca First Division in 1915 lUce.

Y C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, Sept. 15. No matter where the Reds finish this year and it's s good bet that they will be pretty close to the first division, if not in it, when the final count la taken it may be truthfully said of them that they fought a good fight, and are well healed for the campaign next year. For a team that had to be entirely re-made during the season, having but one of its last year's pitchers and some four or five other players who were held over during the winter, the Reds have shown remarkable development and tengclty. They have upaet the predictions of all the sporting experts, snd incidentally have dealt some sad blows to aspiring teams in the National league. They have demonstrated gameness and loyalty, and in these latter days are showing a brand of intelligent teamwork that is not surpassed by any nine in the big circuit. It is this good work of the Reds that la making the closinc days of the season notable, and is drawing large crowds, so that the comins Sunday games with Boston, Brooklyn and Pittsburg, respectively are bound to be liberally patronized, and to be marked by the best brand of baseball seen on the local lot this season. Plan Big Festival. Two gala events are being arranged by the Reds' management for its patrons before the close of the season on Sunday, October 3. The first of these will occur in connection with the game with Brooklyn on Saturday, September 25. On this occasion the members of the Ohio legislature will be the guests of the club, and tor their special entertainment a cabaret show, a drill by the famous Troop C. Ohio cavalry, an exhibition ' drill by the Cincinnati police department, and a special demonstration by tbe Cincinnati fire department, showing the actual fighting of flames in a house constructed on the ball field, will be given. The other special event is set for Sunday. October 3. on which day will be Included all sorts of entertainment, with a series of field events, starring Cincinnati and Pittsburg players tor prizes as tbe chief feature of the program. Pitching Staff Strong. It is doubtful that any' team in the National league will start in next season better equipped with pitching ma terial than the Reds. As the season has progressed the Reds' hurlers havd steadily developed in effectiveness, so that today tbe .quartet made up of Toney, Schneider, Dale and McKenery compares favorably with the righthanded contingent of any team in the league. The addition of Lefty George, a southpaw hurler. appears to have filled the breach left by the departure of Rube Benton. Judging by George's excellent performance against the Glanta on the occasion of bis debut last Saturday. Lear, who has done some good pitching this season, also may be counted on for improved work next year, so that it really doesn't matter whether the new men who are coming in to try for hurling positions pan out or not. ANSWER QUESTIONS. CHICAGO. SepL 15. Leaders in the lumber industry of the United States, representing nearly fifty lumber organizations, gathered here today for a conference to form plans for general co-operation in the matter of rates and classification of lumber and lumber products. Answers will be formulated to the seventeen questions propounded by the Interstate commerce commission. .The nature, of the questions appeared to be so important to the industry in all its branches that an extension of time was asked for and the big conference was arranged. NEW MEXICAN GOVERNOR. NOGALEZ. Ariz.. SepL 15 Reports from across the border confirm information received several weeks ago that Albert Morales will today become ; Governor of Sonora. succeeding Jose i Maytorena. the Villa chief of that province.

AGENTS REPORT ACTIVE DEMAND FROriREMTERS Houses Which . Stood Idle During: Summer Eagerly Taken Up by Hcseseekers During Recent Days. : . A decidedly hopeful tone has been struck on the real estate market ot Richmond, according to agents who today expressed opinions relative to the rental of houses, purchase of property in the city and rural sections and the outlook for the tall and winter business. While none of the real estate men would concede that the renewed business was a "boom" in any sense, they were practically unanimous in their belief that within the last three seeks there have been more houses rented to tenants than during the entire summer. It is. usual, at this time of tbe year, they explained, for their business to increase, but the Improvement shown in tbe last few weeks has been surprising and unexpected. During the early summer, quite a large number of houses were vacant but these are rapidly being filled until now more than half of them have been rented. Several agents said their farm business waa very good and that tbe number of people who are buying houses on tbe installment plan is unusually large and Indicates that the market tone Is not a "fluke." "he per capita consumption of fish fin tbe United Statea now exceeds twenty pounds a year, slightly less than balf the consumption of Great Britain. tlZhiSI. hi l.i -jIM-tstt Second Hand Clothes for Working men Sold at Crawford's 313 North O Street.
