FROM BASE TO BASE

Just a week from today the Central league will open Its playing season with South Bend at Richmond. Muskegon at Springfield, Grand Rapids at Dayton and Fort Wayne at Evansvllle. The Richmond club Is one of the clty best assets, being especially valuable as an advertising medium, and' the citizens should contribute to Its success by liberal patronage throughout the season. The Richmond Exhibition company has provided one of the best parks to be found in the minor leagues. Fans can show their appreciation by filling it up on opening day, next Thursday, thereby winning for Richmond the handsome cup offered to the city having the ' largest opening day attendance in the Central. By the way, have you, Mr. Fan, purchased a season ticket book? For $7.50 investment you can see all the 67 games played at home, or a cost of about 12 cents per game. Those who can afford to should rally around the home team by subscribing for some of that additional $5,000 stock issue of the Richmond ExhibitIon company. And. by the way, its going to be' a real team to rally around. Myers has been having trouble getting the right men for some of the positions, but he Is going to get them before next Thursday. . The club management is hopeful of two big crowds at Athletic park, MYERS LANDS MEN TO FILL UP HOLES IN LEAGUE LINEUP Lines that Manager Myers cast the past few days to catch players needed to fill up weak places in the Quaker's lineup have already landed three likely looking players. Myers announces the purchase of Infielder Rapp of the Peoria, Three-I league club, the signing of Bill Donahue, a hard hitting outfielder, now a free agent, having retired from the game after the 1915 season, and states that he offered to purchase an infielder named Walsh now with the Memphis Southern Association club. The Memphis club wired Myers last night that Walsh was on the market and the Richmond manager promptly entered a claim for his services. Myers Expects to Close Deal. Myers also expects to close a deal with the Grand Rapids club for Shortstop Mitchell, one of the stars of the Terre Haute club last year. Mitchell has refused to play with Grand Rapids With Rapp. Mitchell, Kelly and Walsh there will be no trouble In plugging the holes on the left side of the infield, at shortstop and third base. Kelly is a youngster who reported here the first of the week. He was with the Maysvllle club of the Ohio State league last season. Gygli, at first, and Joe Evers at second are fixtures.

DONT MERELY KILL FLY BUT EXTERMINATE HIM PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. April 26 The city entomologist, Herman Horning, has issued a warning to the public that fly-swatting.-when it is not a part of more systematic schemes of extermination, is wasted labor. A swatted fly, be says, is quite asperidous as an unswatted. It is not the fly that is dangerous, it is the microbes the insect carries, and when you kill the fly you do not necessarily kill the microbes.
