Woman Will Heave First Wild One Over Pan When Centrals Open Here Richmond's Central League Base ball team probably will see to it that the women are given special recognition in the opening festivities at the new league park May 3. iIn keeping with the suffrage wave that is sweeping the country and which recently has brought the women of Indiana into the' voters' column, the management of the Richmond : team is considering inviting some young woman to fill the time-honored position of opening the ceremonies by pitching the first ball. . ; " . .; Of course it may be a crude pitch; one of those feminine overhanders that is as likely to go over the grand stand as over the plate, but there is, every reason to give the honor to a woman instead of following precedent and permitting the mayor or seme other official to be the . initial heaver of the sphere. " Later on when plans for the big opening are under way, the club management will take up the matter formally and it is said that if Richmond women who are lovers of clean sport as exemplified in 'the National game, desire to receive recognition proposed, that they will accept in the same spirit that the invitation is given, and select their representative to play the all-important role when the umpire yells "Play Ball." . v .

DISCUSS TRADE CONDITIONS

(By Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 22. A general discussion of trade conditions and election of officers . featured today's session of the annual convention if the National Wholesale Dealers' Association.

Frank Cayou, . famous . Indian athlete, now traveling for a Chicago sporting goods concern with in Richmond yesterday and put through a deal for uniforms . for the Richmond Central league team players.' Cayou for 'several years was football coach at TVbash college and history relates the remarkable success he had at that institution. Even home-plates have been effected by the high cost of living When Cayou told Manager Bade Myers the cur

rent price of home plates Bade yelled

like a wild man. Cayou only grinned. Bids were opened by the baseball club directors yesterday on the concession contract at Exhibition park this summer. It was, awarded to C. Phillips of Battle Creek, whose bid was a most satisfactory, one. The concession contract Includes fence advertising, score cards &Jd everything else sold on the grounds. A tractor excavator will be operated at Exhibition park Monday and the work of grading the new field will be completed before the end of the week. After this has been done work on sodding the field and putting up the stands and fence will be rushed and it is probable the field will be ready for

use on the opening game of the league season, May 3. Bade Myers has confessed that he Is In the Hans Wagner age class but insists that be is still capable of putting up a game at first base that will make many a recruit open his eyes. "This fellow Gygli had better step lively or I will beat him! out of his job," Bade remarked, and Cayou laughed again.. It isn't of ten. that an Indian laughs. ' ; Frand "Red"' Ireton, , late of Richmond, now of Indianapolis, has been, heard ' from. "Red" has written to President Eggemeyer that he wants

transportation and a three-year con tract forwarded to him at once.

Word from Dawson Springs, Ky.,

the training camp of the Toledo Association club, is encouraging to local prospects. In a communication to

Manager - Bade Myers this morning

Roger Bresnahan- assures the Richmond club the addition of several players who will be. turned over to Richmond in the near future. Manager Myers has not divulged the names of the new comers. When the Richmond squad reports for tha nraliminarles eariv in Acril a

number of Wayne county lights will

report for tryouts at their own expense. Requests for trials of this sort are coming in every day, says Manager Bade. Richmond fans will watch the performance of Paul Jennings, the Whitewater third sacker, who is to get a trial for the Quaker infield. Jennings is no stranger here having figured In county championship series games for

the last two years. He Is a sure fielder and a clouter of more than average

ability. Richmond fans would like to see him make good with Myers' team. It looks like Leber, former Terre

Haute third eacker, .would be signed to fill an infield position with Rich

mond. A proposition from Lee Fohl,

manager Cleveland Americans, who

holds an option on Leber, looks good

to Manager Myers. '

Harry Stahjbefer's EvansriLJe club will open 'with the Pirates at Evapsville, May 10 . - .

George Perring, formerly with' Toj

ledo, regarded as one of the highest priced -players in Central circles, probably will play with the Evas. Harry Stablbefer intimates that, be ha? just about hooked the ex-Mud Hen. George Bcelze,- catcher of tie Quincy Tbree-I league will do backstop .Tcrjj for Evacsville, says Ft. Wayne management. Manager Vandagrift, of. Ft. Wayne, announces that he has lined up Harry Siegfried, a Pensylvaaia comer.. Dayton had eyes on Siegfried for a -w hile. A ebort cover and a fret ba reman is all that 3 worrying the Ft: Wayne manager. First' Baseman Eooney..- a former Hoofed, may land the first E-top position. ' Somebody mussed one. says Manager Myers in referring to the report that Ray Brubaker and Al Shaw had been lined up for Quaker berths. Owner Ed Smith, of the South Bend club, today announces plans for the extensive enlarging of the Bender ball park. New stands will be built and other improvements made. C. H. Richardson, termed the "fu

ture iron man of the Central" is the ! latest addition to the Ft Wayne Cen-I tral colony. Richardson hails fromj Evansville and has requested that he:

be allowed to pitch the opening game between the Railroaders and the Evas. His homexfolks would like to see him in action, says Richardson.
