LEAGUE TEAM TO PLAY FIRST

ON NEW

GROUND

Just four weeks from Thursday, this coming Thursday, Richmond opens its Central league schedule with South Bend. Whether or not this game is played ft Exhibition park depends entirely on the- weather April weather. President Elmer Eggemeyer is not sure that the new park will be ready for the opening game. But he is sure that "it has to be done." Taking it for granted that bids to be opened probably late today will be acceptable and the contract awarded with any kind of weather it will take the greater part of this week to get the grounds in shape to start construeion work on the stands. That will give the builders practically one month's time to complete the plant. Hope to Use New Park.

Officials of the club are determined that the opening game be played in the new field. The work will be rushed to the limit. . The revised plans call for a somewhat less elaborate layout of stands and bleachers, ' but as the plans now stand, the new park will be a credit to the city. The seating capacity of the re-planned grand stand will be something like 2.000. The bleachers will hold practically the same number. Every convenience is afforded in the plans for the structure. Will Open Season Anyhow. In case a month of rain should prevent the completion of the .plant, "ffie Central schedule will in no way be altered. Richmond will open with South Bend here. May 3, if Reid Field, Earlham, or the Playground diamond has to be pressed into service, says Field-Marshal Blick. Athletic park will be used in case Exhibition park

is not ready. Richmond is not the only Central town having trouble along this line. Dayton is up against the same proposition. Dayton wanted to build a model park. The directors ordered plans drawn. The figures on the blue prints took the breath away from the Dayton magnates. They have been forced to do just what Richmond did lop off, and order new bids.

Rain Prevents . Season Opener The opening of the semi-Pr0 baseball season in Richmond waS halteL temporarily, at least, yesterday afternoon when a rain-soaked Held mada necessary the postponement of the Natco-Miller-Kemper game scheduled for Natco park. The teams probably will get together next Sunday.

HIGH TRACK TEAM WILL DRILL DAILY

In preparation for the opening meet with Technical, at Indianapolis, Saturday, April 14, the Richmond hiRh school track and field squad is this week slated for a daily session on the cinders and sod at the playground training camp. The weather permitting, R- H swill workout out doors. In case the rain interfers with the program of

conditioning mapped out by Coach Nohr, the school gym will be utilized for the preparedness work. In biblical times the strongest rope was made of strips of camel hide, as still used by some tribes of Arabs.

MYERS TO GET CUB CASTOFFS FOR OUTFIELD

If Charlie Weeghman, Chicago Cub owner .and. former Richmond boy, keeps his word, Richmond's Central League club in all probability will have an ex-Cub-recruit outfield. ' For Weeghmair'through President Elmer Eggemeyer has assured Manager Myers of the local club his choice of the Cub cast-offs, .players who will be turned over to Richmond Just as soon as the Chicago club is cut down to its regular war strength. In a letter to President Eggemeyer Owner Weeghman intimates that Cub Manager Mitchell will have quite a few promising youngsters who will be turned over for Richmond service. Several of these men are said to havej the ability to make good in the big-circle, but are turned back for a little more seasoning in the bush. Manager Myers is in touch with Manager Mitchell and expects to have a young squad of the ex-Cubs in action here when the training work begins in earnest ten days or so hence. Outfielders is what Myers ' needs most at the present and Weeghman'a offer is good news, to the Richmond manager. ,

Pitcher Jess Haines, one of the leading slabbers in the C. L. last year, will not be with the team this season. The Detroit Tigers, who had strings on him turned him over to Denver. Rooney, former Fed. signed by Ft. Wayne, is a left winged first baseman. He hits and throws left handed. .

WATER WORKS i WANTS CITY TO GUARD PLANT In a letter submitted by the Richmond Water Works company to the board of public works today, it ; is stated that the company plans to put on six guards for its pumping station and reservoir, but it is pointed but that this expense will amount ; to about $500 a month, an expense the company does not believe it should be expected to assume all of. A-guard of soldiers is suggested. When Howard A. Dill, superintend

ent of the company, appeared before the board, Charles E. Marlatt, a board member, informed him that he did not believe so many guards would be necessary. It was finally decided to take no action nendins the action of congress on

!the German situation. The water

company'3 letter follows: Company Writes Letter "In reference to the demand of the citizens and your request that this company place guards at the pumping station and the reservoir, we wish to advise you that this will require at least six men. This will mean a monthly expense of approximately $500, not including necessary equipment and means of transporting the guards for the reservoir. The revenues of this company will not be sufficient to provide for this expense. This company is willing to assist in the safeguarding of property that is vitally necessary for the life and protection of this city, but feels that it should , not be asked or required to assume this entire expense. Other communities are having this service done by state troops, and this company feels that public property in this city should be protected by similar means." If troops from the : Indiana guard are not available, Richmond should take steps to raise the necessary .troops, to guard, her interests. This company has no desire to shirk its responsibilities in this critical time, but wishes to present this matter for- your further consi deration,!'

George Perring, veteran Toledo iludhen, who had joined the Evas, has jumped to Beloit, Wis., says press dispatches.
