COUHTY SERIES EFFORTS AGAIN FALL THROUGH Williacsburgs Action in Refusing to Meet Varans on Liberal Terms" Savors cf Cold Feet. ' - fl$fi'f'e '7 ' 'X'r r - apeeaeeeaa -Ufl7 f- f'-J BY THE SPORTING," EDITOR." There ku bera a lot of Ulk around town about the proposed' county ' championships and it cmd for a i while that the fan were going to see some great baseball. That these games are not coming off as per schedule Is no fault of the local management and Manager . Sam Vlgran must' be exonerated of the blame. - ' - - Vlgran .made every effort to arrange this series and gave Williamsburg very concession, even going so far as to offer them fifty per cent of tbe gate and then agreeing to pay. half of their expenses here ana to pay en umpire from some other city to , look after tbe game, so that there . would not be an altercation afterwards .about favorism. '....-- Williams, in the presence of several men. made the proposition for a game to vlgran under tne conditions statea above, and agreed to play on Sunday. About that there1 is not a doubt Then Willlama arranged another game and did not notify the local management personally that they have decided not to play the local game, but does so through the columns of this newspaper. It-would have been a good business proposition for Williams to bring his team here next Sunday. All other teams in the county, with one or two exceptions, have expressed a desire to take part in a series for tbe county championship, but none of them care to do so 'unless Williamsburg is a contestant for in case-of winning there would - not be a clear title unless Williamsburg was one of the contesting teams. In an interview Manager Vlgran declared that he was willing to meet Williamsburg on almost any terms so long as the game la played here, for .the local manager. believes, that it is only justice to bis followers to give them-tbe best baseball possible and that Is what he is trying to do. AQUATIC MEET LIST REMAINS OPEN TODAY The acquatic meet at Hawkins' lake will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and as there will be about fif ty entries, it promises to me a most successful one. There will be a 100 yard free-for-all race. alOO-yard race for men, one for women and one for boys and girls. Then there will be 50-yard races for the same classes and high and fancy diving events. Fancy swimming contests for both men and women -will be held and there will also be a water polo game. Those who have not entered still have a chance to taek part in hte contests, as entries do not close until 2 o'clock tomorrow. LOGAN WITHHOLDS LINEUP OF ELEVEN Manager Brehm of the Quaker City football team announcea that his boys will report at Athletic park Sunday morning for the second practice of the season. He expects a large turnout Tbe present . weather is , proving a handicap for football men. but they expect a cool wave in the near future, so they can get down to hard work. Coach Logan has about selected his team, but will not announce the line up for several days; in fact, he declar ed he may not do so until Just before the opening game, for it is his desire to give every man a thorough trial. ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR SUNDAY GAME Richmond will meet New Paris Sunday at' Athletic park and that the neighboring city intends to win the game if possible is shown by tbe team that will take tbe field. ' They have sifted the line-ups of the different clubs in the S. A. L. and selected the best of the players to represent -them. ' Here Is the line-up, so the reader may. form his own conclusions: . Stanley, ? if; . . Cooney, cf ; Knight, ss ; Ralney, lb; Hampton, rf; Lucas, 2b; Neibohr, 3b i Hawekotte, p; . HaaS. c. "i " - - " . . . v With Pete Minner In the box for the locals, and Pete is at his best right now, there should be a game replete with fast plays and few hits. In fact, It should be one of the tightest games seen on the local diamond this year. BOYS TAKE HIKE Boy members of the Y- M. C. A. will go On a hike at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon under the direction of J. J. Somervilie, head of the boys' department.

TURKO-BULGARIAN AGREEMENT SIGNED LONDON, Sept. 17. All Indications point to, an immediate crisis in the Balkans.

The number will ' probably continue to grow until , the expiration of the first six weeks of school.

Evasion of the civil service system is seen. In Wayne county political circles, in an order just received at the Richmond post office from the post office department, reducing the number of rural routes In Wayne county from twenty-eight to thirteen, motorizing eacb of the redlstricted routes, and requiring all men now employed as-rural mail carries to take a civil service examination in Richmond. October 9, with" other applicants for the thirteen positions.. , .. Wayne county .. Republican leaders charge that the change really is ' a method to oust all the Republican rural mail carriers in the county. Two thirds of - the twenty-eight carriers now operating In Wayne county are Republicans. At least six of the nine carriers operating out of the Rich mond post office are known to be Republicans. - Political leaders recognise the fact that under the civil . service regulations the post office department can arbitrarily reduce the number Of rural mall routes and can require a motor service for all routes. However, they question the right of the department to require carriers to take a- second civil service examination in the absence of any charges ol neglect of duty or incompetency. They assert that when tbe carriers qualified for. their positions by passing the prescribed civil service teats CZAR ADMITS LOSS OF PINSK T0JM.1ANS Russian Offensive in Galicia Gaining Ground, Says Official War Statement at Petrograd.

they were guaranteed their positions, under the civil service act, so long as they could competently perform the duties of their offices. The poet; office department order, they, believe provides a war for the replacement ot Republican rural route carriers by Democrats. ; ."Why should the members of the present staff of Wayne county rural mall carriers be requested to take another civil service examination U they expect to retain their jobs?" one of the Republican leaders said today. "All of them were appointed under the requirements of the civil service act all experienced men and not one has been charged with neglect of duty-or incompetency. -They must, however, compete once more in a civil service test against applicants, who have had no experience- whatso" - or- with the work of the postal sert.ee. Of what use is the civil service act If civil service appointees are not protected from the old spoils system? In my Opinion It the, carriers are Obliged to compete again for positions, under the provisions of this order,, the civil service act becomes a farce. 7 "If the postal department desires to reduce the number of carriers in Wayne county it has a right to do so, but, as we interpret the civil- service law, the thirteen routes to.be provid ed mould be served by the thirteen senior carriers." ' " - - ANGRY DEPOSITORS RAID SAVINGS DANK ANSONIA, Conn... Sept. 17. Quiet reigned early today at the : Savings bank Of Ansonia, besieged by angry depositors who yesterday started a riot, following the disclosure of a shortage of $36,000 and. the arrest of Franklin Burton, former state senator and twice mayor of the city, who, admitted that he had diverted the funds of the bank to his own use. A squad of police was kept at the bank all night and was reinforced by more officers this morning in anticipation of a renewal of the trouble when the bank's doors were opened. Burton spent the night. In the lockup at the city ball guarded by policemen. E STREET MERCHANTS ASK CLUSTER LIGHTS Following the example of the Main street business men in petitioning the city for cluster lights, .a number of merchants on North E street have requested the (Commercial club Committee to .circulate a petition among property owners on that street asking for similar action on the part of the city officials. The petition being circulated asks for cluster lights from Eighth to Tenth streets. Local officials of the Pennsylvania railroad are in favor of the plan, but they do not have final authority. The petition has been sent to the railroad officials at Pittsburg with the endorsement of local officials. The plan proposed on North E street is the same as that to be carried out on Main street.

He was under indictment, charged with intent to kill two prominent men of Elnom, but declared he never-would go . to prison. . BOARD PROVIDES Continued From Page One $500 to provide for improvements now planned for the old covered bridge. When the board considered the petition of Falrview residents this momning to have an early morning and a late afternoon car service until the paving of Sheridan street had been completed, City Engineer Charles vetoed the project. He said Falrview would have to 'wait for the resumption of street car service until Sheridan street was thrown open, to traffic once more as tbe vibration of the cars, If operated now, would damage the concrete. It 'was reported to the board that the contractor who is placing a con? crete pavement on Sheridan street has been delayed in this work because be has not been able to secure a supply of washed gravel. The board today ordered that Richmond avenue be repaired and thoroughly cleaned preparatory to oiling it. True) Secret of Keeping -" Youthful Looking .
