Hagerstown's little pilgrimage over this way Sunday was a profitable one for four members of the Quaker team Johnny Holmes, Bill Niebuhr, Herb Logan and Wink Holmes. The rest of the tribe 6lumped back a bit after the figures of Sunday's scrap are added to the statistics. J. Holmes, who garnered three safe swipes out of four trips to the pan, Sunday, is now leading the pack by a safe margin. He is using the diamond furniture at the figures .421. Bill Niebuhr, the recent Hub acquisition, is in the ruuner-up position with a bingling percentage of .364. Herb Logan, erratic short cover, is in a position to claim third money. , 9 Records of the team follow: . A.B. R. H. 2B. 3B. H.R. T.B. S.B. 0. A. E. B.A. F.A. J.

WHERE TO SEE BASEBALL THIS COMING WEEK SUNDAY BOOKINGS Williamsburg at Richmond. All-Stars at Ratliff. Rexalls at Ridgeville. Hagerstown at Marion. Miller-Kemper at Centerville. Liberty at Brownsville. With the Richmond-Williamsburg county title series game as the headliner at Athletic park, the West side All-Star vs. Richmond Senators furnishing the attraction at Ratliff park and with practically all of the local traveling teams booked, Richmond's baseball fraternity faces a lively bit of sessloning this coming week-end. The Williamsburg-Richmond affair, of course, will be the big game in Wayne county. This is the second of the county title series, and inasmuch as the Quakers are to the fore with a one game lead, fans of the Wayne county baseball series will have plenty of fodder in this game. Sara Vigran, who has taken over the management of the Rexalls has booked the reorganized club for a trip to Ridgeville. Vigran intends that the Rexalls shall come back. At Ratliff park, west side, a good bill is promised In the Senators-All-Star go. Both are city title claimants and apparently evenly matched. GAAR IS PROMOTING NEW POLO LEAGUE " Clem Gaar, together with a number of Richmond promoters, will go to Newcastle tomorrow, to confer with the men interested in the promotion and organization of the Indiana-Ohio polo league.

SWAYNE FINDS Continued from page One who would be paying the larger amounts and, therefore, instead of penalizing the manufacturer who does not have the sprinkler equipped plant, it is putting him on an equality with the sprinkler equipped plant, except that the latter pays some portion of the "ready to serve" charge made by the commission. Then again in making that kind of adjustment, it would exempt from any additional cost almost all of the building blocks on Main street. It seems to me that the business houses on Main street should be compelled to pay a portion of this charge for if there is any property owner in the city benefitted by the sprinkler equipment, it is the Main street business blocks. In other words if all business houses were equipped with sprinklers, the danger of a general conflagration in Richmond would be practically eliminated. If a compromise could be made with the Water Works company eliminating the necessity for the installation of meters, there would be a saving of about $2,000.00 per year. This, of course... should be done by all means, as such a tax should not be placed on the citizens of Richmond for all time to come. By deducting this, it would leave only $5,000.00 of revenue to be raised. In order to equalize this, it should be added to the tax duplicate and paid by the municipality. A three cent addition to the tax duplicate would raise a little over $5,000.00. The owners of business blocks on Main street, therefore, would pay their proportion of this charge, as well as the manufacturing industries. The small property owner referred to by Mr. Bavis who has purchased a home and is paying for it, would only have to pay in case his home was assessed at $500.00 fifteen cents a year. If his home was assessed at $1,000.00 it would cost him 30c a year; a nominal sum, yet by having sprinkler equipment in the manufacturing concerns of this city, it has probably made it possible for him to buy a home for it probably has given him more steady employment. Therefore, he reaps a benefit by more steady employment, and at the some time the cost to him is insignificant. It is the larger property owner or tax payer that pays the larger amount. The new order is to go into effect tomorrow. It seems to me that you and Mr. Bond should get together and arrange if possible with Mr. Starr for an adjustment. I hope you may give this very serious consideration this day as well as other matters pertaining to the same subject which have been placed before you by the manufacturers. Yours very truly, S. E. SWAYNE. P. S. Undoubtedly the Utility Commission Intends to make a "ready-to-serve'' charge against sprinkler equipped plants throughout the state. This

SINGLE G SETS NEW RECORDS AT KALAMAZOO Pacing the fastest mile ever negotiated on the Michigan track, Single G., the Cambridge City sensation, in the free-for-all event of the Grand Circuit races yesterday at Kalamazoo led a field of seven 6tarters. Single G's time in the first heat was 2:00 and the average for the three heats was 2:00 2-5 making it the fastest three heat race ever run in the state of Michigan. Seven Horses Start. There were seven starters in the pacing classic. The field went away fast and stepped to the quarter in 29 seconds. Hal Boy and R. H. Brett could not stand the pace and broke, the other five racing neck and neck down the back stretch, Single G. lead The half was made in '1:00, the three-quarters in 1:30. Here Napoleon Direct and Russell Boy went after Gosnell's pacer and it was a magnificent flight of speed down the stretch, Single G. winning the heat by a neck from the Geers horse. In the second heat Single G. led to the half in 10:01 and then the pace quickened. Geers was determined and let Napoleon Direct out . inch by inch he overhauled Single G. and passed him about fifty feet from the wire, winning the heat in 2:01. The third heat was another battle, but Single G. was equal to the task this time and, despite the efforts of Russell Boy and Napoleon Direct to overhaul him, managed to win the heat and race. The last half was paced in 59 seconds. The time for the mile was 2:00.

FOLLOWS SWALLOW LONDON, Aug. 2. An officer of the Flying Corps states that his experience with the flight of swallows caused him to doubt whether their reputed flight of 200 miles an hour was correct. "I was up in the air last week one day," he said, "when I observed a swallow flying high in front of me. I resolved to test its speed. I went out full after it, and the swallow also put on full speed. The bird dived; so did I. It went up and I followed. We were at it hammer and tongs for a quarter of an hour, diving, rising, and racing, and I gained on it foot by foot. Finally one of the wires on my wings struck the bird, and it went down." The officer said that of course it seemed cruel to kill a bird in this fashion, but he found it a splendid practice in the air. GIVES KAISER PIN BERLIN, Aug. 2 Mohdi Gassau, a famous Persian jeweler, and artist, living in Vienna, has presented a wonderfully carved precious stone to Emperor William as a token of the gratitude and admiration of the Persians and all Mohammedans for the German ruler. The Emperor acknowledged the gift in a personal letter to the Persian to whom he also sent a beautiful stick pin with his (the Emperor's) initials in diamonds. The value of the pin represents a small fortune. SUDDEN DEATH Before an insurance company will take a risk on your life the examining physician will test your water and report whether you are a good risk. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sickheadache, dizzy spells or twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout, or sleep is disturbed two or three times a night take heed, before too late! You can readily overcome such conditions and prolong life by taking the advice of a famous physician, which is: "Keep the kidneys in good order, avoid too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea. Drink plenty of pure water and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking 'Anuric,' in tablet form." You can obtain "Anuric" at almost all drug stores. It was the discoverv of Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buf falo, N. Y. If you cannot obtain it at your drug store send him 10 cents for trial package "Anuric," or $1.00 for full treatment. Adv.

THIS EXPLAINS WHY SHOES COST MORE THIS YEAR THAN IN 1915

Two billion people there are now in the world. Less than one half of them now wear shoes. Year by year, millions put on shoes. In South America the bare-foot man is putting on sandals and the man who wore sandals is putting on shoes. At the same time, the supply of hides is decreasing annually. The foregoing is the answer offered by David H. Teeple for "Why shoes cost more?" Everywhere men are crying,. "Give us more leather," and everywhere taners are asking, "How can we make more leather?" Here are some of the increases in prices of materials going into shoes. The first price in each instance represents that of March 1915 and the second, the price now per square foot.

PLAGE TRAFFIC SIGNS

' At last, that new "stop and go" traffic sign has been placed in use at Eighth and Main streets. As Traffic Officer George Fee has not yet learned on which side the words are he has to keep watching the sign to be sure that he is giving traffic the proper instructions. The signal, however, is a decided improvement over the old method. GUARDS MAY SWIM; WOMEN ARE BARRED STONEBORO, Pa., Aug. 2. Stoneboro wished to be patriotic. No town ever wanted more to do "what was right" by the soldier boys than did Stoneboro when it heard that a train load of Philadelphia guardsmen was about to pass through its limits. A big demonstration was arranged. Then came the word an hour ahead of the train that the Philadelphians would stop in Stoneboro an hour and planned to spend the time swimming in Sandy Lake, on the edge of which Stoneboro stands. There was consternation in Stoneboro. The bath houses boasted no more than a hundred bathing suits and it was reported there were three hundred guardsmen on the train. Stoneboro met the situation, however. The demonstration was called off by proclamation of a group of prominent citizens. Orders also were issued that all females should stay in doors for the next two hours and that all blinds must be tightly drawn. The guardsmen had their swim but even the hundred bathing suits Stoneboro had to offer found no one who wished to use them.
