weeks ago turfore the weather gent got the rabies and ran am nek, was spilled upon Athtetfr park yteetenday after
noon and it is as necessary to call off
the third and .final game of the Fort Wayne series. Of the six games scheduled here for the league opening just two- were playid, Richmond losing one to South Bend. 3 to 0, and defeating Fort Wayne, 4 to 2. At midnight Manager Myers and his players departed on a special sleeper for South Bend ami the team will be Kone for twelve days, playing In South Bend, Fort Wayne. iGrand Rapids and Muskegon. " Must Reduce Squad Soon. In the Myers party arei fifteen players and it is probable that at least two of them will be numbered! among the missing when the QuaSkers return home again. Under Ceotral league rules each team can enrty only thirteen players after May 15. It was Myers original plnn to carry five pitchers, working on of them regularly in the outfield unless one of the regular pitching staff became incapacitated, in which event the relief pitcher would be used on the mound nnd the extra catcher sent -to the outfield. Myers had planned tfo use Cy Young In one of the gardens, but he has never tried him out as a fly chaser and it is generally believed that the Quaker manager hR selected Ainsworfji, Hart, Warner and Fromholz as his regujar pitching staff. j Fotir Candidates In -Field. There are now four cadidates for

EVANSVILLE. Ind.. May 8. A batting rally in the Cost, aided by errors of the visitors, let Evansville cop the last game of the scales, beating South Bend, 9 to 6.

BOYS CLUB GRADES OWN PLAY GROUNDS IN NORTH RICHMOND
North end boys are going to make their own playground this year. This play ground is the proportion the northeast corner of North Tenth
and J streets. It is owned by the J. F.
Miller estate and at one time was used
as a city dump. The Miller estate has
given permission for the use of the
property as a playground,
The city is too busy now providing

Eno Doped to Lead R. H. S. Basket Ball
Team Next Season
Despite the fact that they have had
vry little oractic Mnsworth. Hart. Waerier and Fromholv are all in good condition and the Quakers will get as
coed pitching as any team in the
lame. This is a source of great satisfaction to Myers for the other players, with the exception of Kreg and
Donahue, have not yet found their batting eyes, one of the results of lack of practice due to the miserable
weather of the past two weeks. . When the team hits Its stride it will possess considerable batting strength. Bossoloni and Rapp should both hit well over .300 and it is an even chance that Donelson and Kreg will hit around that mark. Myers Can Maul the Ball. Donahue, if he is retained, will also hit around .300. Gygll. Evers, Texter and Wilcox should hit between .250 and .275. Myers is still able to maul the ball and probably will assign to himself the job of pinch hitter. Little Joe Kelly is probably the weakest hitler on the team, excepting the pitchers, but this fault can be overlooked if he continues to field his position in the form he displayed in the Fort Wayne game, Monday.
Reapers Capture Last From Grand Rapid
youngsters are going to provide their
own playground, the boys working under the direction of the Boys' club of the North Tenth Street Friends' church. The city will loan certain street department machinery to grade and roll the North Tenth street grounds.

An echo of the Richmond high school basketball season is the decis
ion of the school athletic directors to
wait until next fall to hold the meet ing for election of the new captain
The meeting will be held in September when the candidates, for next fall's
team are assembled. There is little doubt but that Eno O'Neal, star forward, of the last team
will be named leader of the squad of
1917-18. Everett Shelton and Sheldon Simmon 3 are the other possibilities. O'Neal is the logical man for the place. He will be a senior next 'fall and besides this is entitled to the honor by virtue of his performance during the past year. Shelton and Simmons, who with O'Neal, remain of the last year's team, will be Juniors next fall. - '
