CENTRAL LEAGUE NINE TESTS OUT RECRUIT SQUAD
Richmond's baseball season opens informally tomorrow afternoon when, with suitable Weather, the representative Richmond units of the Central and Interstate Association circles interlock in a nine frame session of the universal pastime. The action to be centered at Athletic park and the festivities will get under way somewhere around 2:30 o'clock. Word from Cincinnati, the headquarters of the Richmond Interstate club, is to the effect that quite a size
able squad of ball players supplement ed by a goodly number of team hang
ers-on, will help make Bade Myers hopes hustle la the Sunday sessioning.
Play With McCann's Team.
Three Richmond boys Pete Minier,
pitcher; Herb Logan, short cover; and
Vint Cooney, outfielder: are slated to
go the full route in McCann's lineup
Mac's battery probably will be Long
and Novack. .
Its a wide guess on the men who
will represent the Central League in
terests. It is altogether probable t&at Karl (Red Ainsworth, the promising Cub recruit, will be given the first opportunity at serving. Texter probably will take first trick behind the line. The rest of the battery recruits will - be slipped in from-'time to time, no matter how the game goes. ..- . The makeup of the Richmond Cen? tral infield and outfield will be determined largely on today's arrivals at Bade's training camp. The lineups will look something like this: Central Association Gygli, lb Logan, ss Evers, 2b McCann, If Lucas. 2b Kaucher, lb Stadtfeld. ss Burbrink, 2b Leber. 3b Cooney, cf . Jennings, 3b , Wulzer, rf Wilcox, If Bacon, rf Cook, cf Decker Crawford, cf O'Nlel, c McKand, rf Novack, c Ainsworth, p ' " ' Long, p Wagner, p Schulte, p Fromholz, p Minier, p

Fort Wayne, the last of Central teams, to begin training, is scheduled to get busy Sunday. Central park at Fort Wayne has been under two feet of water for the last month and thi3 fact has delayed the team's turnout. The war likewise has hit Vandagrift's club. Plaxico and Wasson, promising players, have been called to the colors. Lang, a Kansas City pitcher, has been turned over to Fort Wayne. Kelly, another Association light, is In line for a steady place with the erstwhile Billikens. Mathes, who topped the Central club swingers last year, has wired accept-
LOCAL SWIMMER TAKES ONE SECOND
Although South Bend swimmers took the meet in a walk and Gary, Purdue University, Lafayette and Crawfordsville fiBhes finished ahead of , Richmond, the local nevertheless had the satisfaction, of finishing ahead of ; M uncle, Greensburg and Indianapolis, who failed to scratch. Casper Parker, Richmond's entry, placed second in the fancy diving event. South Bend swimmers took practically all firsts.
PLAYERS OF S. A. L. PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO NATION'S FLAG
The S. A. L., Richmond's industrial baseball circuit, will tolerate no "slackers." Only "Americans" will be allowed to participate according to the decree handed down by the league directors in session at the "Y" last night. The following resolution was adopted: "Inasmuch as the game of baseball, is .the. national pastime of our country and as the United States is at' present in a' state of war against another nation, be it therefore resolved: That every player in the Saturday Afternoon League, swear, bis allegiance to the American flag and to the United States before he be allowed to participate in any of the champion contests of the league." GLOVERS SET FOE BACK THREE TIMES Blomeyer and . Fulle were good enough to set the R..A. M. five back in consecutive games at the "Y" last night. The B. B. C. five took the entire'lot. The scores: B.

Football, as a means of training, has been introduced in the training camp of Joe Dunn's Springfielders. But the Reapers don't play it the way the rahrah boys do. The Harvesters merely boot the ball around the field. Ed Smith, South Bend, is claiming the bloomer infield of the Central. The Benders have Sharkey, Wright, Julian and Hogan strung around the inner field from first to third, respectively. Fort Wayne is to have military training. The club will secure an army man from the government recruiting station. - .' Muskegon has been booked for a tilt with Glenn McCann's Richmond Association club at Athletic park a week from tomorrow."

MYERS TO CUT SIZE OF SQUAD ABOUT MONDAY
Indications are that by Monday there will be a reduction in the size of the squad of players who are trying for places on Myers Central League team. This was strongly hinted today by Manager Myers but he did noi disclose the names of the recruits who are" listed for execution. For the time being, at least, all of the pitchers now working out here will be retained. Myers thinks well of his squad of husky burlers and it will be difficult for him to select thi four men who will retain their jobs. Looks fop Understudy. Texter has the job of first string catcher cinched. The Job of under-
I study for Texter, still remains open
and will remain so until Myers has had an opportunity of carefully looking over the several candidates for the place, and it can be truthfully said that Myers has some likely looking pad artists to select from.Gygli is a fixture at first base. Evers will start at second and if Johnny Leber is as good as the reports received of his it is going to be hard work for anyone to take away the third basing job from him: The liveliest competition is for the position of shortstop. Stadfeld. a promising looking youngster, hajling from Indianapolis, has been working out at that position and Myers is from dissatisfied with his work. Lucas and Jennings, both home talent, aspire to infield jobs. Wilcox Appears Good. Bill Wilcox, purchased from Mobile, worked out for the first time yesterday and nade a very favorable Im
pression. Ho is fast, ranges the out- ' field in -.jpved style and appears to
be a heft Batsman. Donaldson, an out fielder secured from Toledo, will re
port here tomorrow. ' He appears to have one of the outfield jobs cinched. The same can be said of Wilcox. John Sundheim, a Three I league recruit who has been ordered to report i,are, and young Crawford, a promising looking semi-pro from Grant. Mich., are also candidates for the outfield. Myers has given uo all hope of securing the services of Al Shaw, an outfielder released to ? Richmond by Toledo. Mvers learned today that Shaw intends to manage an independent team at Frankfort, Ind., this year.' Chilly weather kept the players off the lot this morning but Myers had them put for a sharp practice th's afternoon. The team will be in fairly good condition for the game tomorrow after noon at Aethletic park with McCann's independent Richmond team. Myers may give all his o'tchers, Ainsworth. Hart, Fromholiz,, Wagner and Young, and all his catcher a change to show In Sunday's combat.
