Local Sport News at a Glance

FANS PLEASED WITH PLAYING OF MYERS' MEN In the opening came of the Central league season In Richmond yesterday at Athletic park the Quakers were defeated 3 to 0 by the South Bend team, the defeat being entirely due to the splendid pitching of one of baseball's real veterans, Shettler, who broke into the pastime about the same time that Hans .Wagner began shortstopping for a living. This wise old bird did not have a thing yesterday, except a hopping fast ballball, a varied assortment of curves, a slow ball and unlimited control. . Just four widely scattered hits were registered off his delivery. Joe Evers, whose work featured the Quakers' play, bagging two of them. Alnsworth Pitches Ball. Working for Richmond in the box was Earl Alnsworth and no one can say that the red-maned twirler did not come through with a high grade brand of pitching. With perfect support he would have lost a 1 to 0 game. Costly errors presented two runs to the Benders. The one earned run. off Alnsworth came In the seventh when Baschang led off with a single and immediately scored on Rellly's three base, hit to deep center. Rellly . was prevented from "scoring by some beautiful fielding on the part of Evers. who, playing in close to the pitcher, knocked down two vicious drives off the bats of Callahan and Tydeman and retired the side. Weather Proves Handicap. About one thousand enthusiastic fans, braving pneumonia, shivered through the nine Innings of interesting play and, despite the defeat of the locals, the popular verdict was returni ed that Myers has assembled a team1 which will keep Richmond right In the running. The play of both teams was remarkable, especially the pitching, because the weather was more suitible for football than baseball. Today's rain caused the postponement of the second game scheduled with South Bend, this afternoon, but the two teams will be in action again tomorrow at Athletic park. Sunday Tort Wayne opens a three game series with the locals In this city. The Benders scored their first run In the second. Allen led oft with a two-bagger. Kelly got to first on errors, then Shettler sacrificed. The bases were filled when Alnsworth w alked Baschang. Rapp mlscued the next chance shot at him by Rellly and Allen scored. Kelly was put out at third and Callahan ended the agony by popping to Evers. Alnsworth. Pulls from Hole. It looked like a deluge, of runs, for ibe Benders In the fourth -when the laes were filled with one out. It was then that Alnsworth showed "the fans that he is a real pitcher-for he struckout the next two men that faced him with sharp breaking curve balls. The Benders scored again in the seventh on Baschang's single and Rellly's three-bagger. In the eighth La Ross walked but was cut at second on Grodick's attempted sacrifice. Grodick stole second and Allen got on through KelIv's poor throw on an easy chance. Orcdick takin third on the play and ountlng the final run of the game on Kfllv's sacrifice fly to Wilcox.

Coach Whiteside, of the Earlham track squad, in forecasting the results of the St. ' Mary's-Earlham dual on Reld Field Saturday afternoon, bases bis hopes for success on the performance of the following bets: . Elden Mills, star weight man of the state for three years, will take three first3 in the manual events. Janney Hutton and Steady Tomlinson will place well in the long distance runs. - Cutrell, always a consistent performer, will place first in the high jump and perhaps in the dashes. Leland "Doc" Calvert should finish at the top in the high hurdles event. . , The Horner boys Dick and Gerald although comparatively new tfien at the track game, are showing well in the middle distance runs. The coach looks for them to harvest a first or two between them. Of the new men, the Brown-Pitts-Johnson unit from Richmond high school should figure in the final poll of points. Brown is tossing the irons around In approved style while Pitts and Johnson are tearing big holes in the cinder track. The performance of this trio will be watched by Richmond fans who believe In the abilfty of the R. H. S. products. Frost Nips Hopes of Grand Rapiders in Dayton Opener DAYTON, May 4.

Springfield walloped Muskegon and the Dayton Vets ran all over the Grand Rapids club. Ed Smith, president of the South Bend club, insists that all club Owners in the Central should compel their players to undergo military training. "My team will be drilled every day until the close of the season," said Smith. "I believe the government will permit the players to remain with their clubs all season providing the government is assured that the players are receiving military training." - President E. W. Dickerson of the Central will probably be in Richmond tomorrow or Sunday. He saw the opening game at Dayton yesterday. , Two thousand fans saw the Springfield opener.

Springfielders Reap Game Over Muskegs With Little Trouble

SPRINGFIELD, O., May 4. Before a crowd of over 2,000 fans who faced a cold, chilly breeze, Springfield defeated Muskegon in the opener yesterday by the score of 9 to 0. There was a big auto parade, with military drill by the High School Cadets and the Muskegon players. While "Old Glory" was hoisted to the breezes. City Manager Ashburner threw out the first ball and the game was on. Joe Coffindaffer, Pirate outcast, was in the box for the locale and he kept the hits well scattered, not allowing a visitor to reach third base.. until the eighth and ninth, but there they stuck.

Joe . Evers had a field day. He knocked down everything that came his way and made two hits out of four times up. In young Allen it appears that President Smith of the Benders has picked up a classy shortstop. This lad hit hard yesterday and came through with some classy fielding. Callahan at second is also going to help this team. Red Hart has been groomed to meet the Benders In the final game of the series tomorrow. George Texter has a very sore arm and he worked eight innings under difficulties yesterday, being relieve in the ninth by Kryci. It is probable that Texter will be given a layoff until his arm is ready for service. Umpire McKee, a newcomer in the league, had the players of both teams snarling at him over his decisions on balls and strikes. Then Myers had a lively tilt with him over a decision at second base. Fort Wayne opens here Sunday. It is probable the game will be played at Athletic park. Today's rain prevented work being done on the new park. An automobile parade with a band preceded the game. - No opening ceremonies were observed, this feature being reserved for, the dedication of Exhibition park, May 21 when Dayton plays here. 727 MAIN ST.
