Brother tans of Richmond, this Is a sad story we hate to relate to you. albeit It Is a tale of doings which caused great reloietog in this city where imitation mahogany furniture is produced for the doHsjtdown-dollar-a-week-the-rest. st-your-Ufe trade. Well, here goes with this sad but simple story. Grand Rapids at Central league park, Grand Rapids, Mich., gave battle yesterday to the Myers beam of Richmond, Ind- and the Hoos ler enemy was pulverised score, Brand Rapids 22, Richmond 4. The Richmond outfielders suffered greatly from sun-burned tongues acquired In shagging base hits. . The Furniture City team pounded out twenty-two hits for a total of thirty-five bases, batted pitchers Hart and Wagner out of the box and then fell upon pitcher Young and smote his offerings
hither and yon mostly yon. Quakers Kept In Running. The Quakers kept In the running and held a one run lead up to the close of the third, then the home guard brought up its heavy artillery and expanged the opposition. In the fourth Pitcher Hart became greatly annoyed over a habit contracted by the Furniture boys of hitting back everything he threw at them and with three men on the bags he sprinted for the dugout and remained there the rest of the game an. agonized spectator of the slaughter of his mates. When the fourth closed Grand RapIds had battered in six runs and had driven Wagner to cover. In the remaining five Innings, with Young pitching for Richmond, the home club counted thirteen more runs to the musical fusllade of singles, doubles, triples and home runs. Richmond's first brace of runs resulted from singles by Evers and Rapp and Donelson's double. The Quakers other two runs resulted from "Cnpid" Donelstn's homer with Donahue on base. The visitors fielded smartly but their ritchers were absolutely powerless t withstand the Grand Rapids attack.
BOB M;
Bob McAllister, holder of the middleweight championship of the Pacific coast, has scored another victory over Battling Levinsky in a tenround bout at a New York sporting club. McAllister gave the Battler a sixteen-pound pull In the. weight, but even with this disadvantage he was easily the master of Levinsky.
Cancel I. C. A. L. Meet
The I. C. A. I meet, the annual track classic of Indiana secondary schools, scheduled for Reid Field this May 26, has been cancelled. The fact that only one or two schools, outside of Earlham, were to be represented caused this action. Mott of the secondary schools have given up track work.

The Choice of All Motorists In no matter what company you find yourself, with a Buick valve-in-head, you are impressed with the fact that all have dignified respect for your choice of a motor car, for the reason that it is generally accepted as the car of first choice by nearly every owner regardless of the car he drives. Their inability to get a Buick when they bought their car is the excuse of many. The world known truth that the Buick is a car of unusual beauty and refinement and that the valve-in-head is the correct principle of gasoline engine construction is responsible for the complete approval of the general public enjoyed by the Buick valve-in-head.
