If he will consent to officiate, Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Nationals, will pitch the first ball, Monday, and Elmer Eggemeyer, president of the Richmond club, will attempt to catch the ball the Chicago magnate is to pitch in the general direction of home plate.

FROM BASE TO BASE

Dayton plays here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week at Ev hlbition park. Games called at 3 o'clock. It is probable that either Hart or Ainsworth will pitch for Richmond at the park opening game, Monday. Jack Frost, the longest twirler in the circuit, probably will work for Dayton. Manager Myers has wired President Kreg will be in shape to work Monday. Kreg had a thumb split in the game at Ft. Wayne last Sunday. Texter is still bothered with a sore arm and is working under difficulties. It is believed the crowd Monday will exceed the park's seating capacity, 3,000, but the management is prepared to care for the overflow. President Dickerson of the Central announces that notwithstanding the war the crowds all over the circuit, except in South. Bend, are larger than last year. South Bend is in trouble because of the street cas strike. Here's a new one. Pitcfeer Cummins of the Ft, Wayne ChLefs is using a "wheat" ball. Before delivering a ball he shoves his hand into a hip pocket filled with ground wheat.

MOTORING WEATHER STIMULATES TRADE OF AUTO AGENCIES

Simultaneously with the arrival of spring come "automobile days." That spring and automobiling go hand In hand is attested in the increased activity shown in automobile circles this week. The arrival of real-for-sure spring was as welcome among auto dealers as it was welcome to owners of cars, V. 1 1 : v f 1 wuu were uiliy uwaiuus iui me Diftiicu i oi warmer weatner, to open me moioring season. Au dealers unanimously declare that business has picked up wonderfully during the last few days. Many prospective buyers, who delayed making purchase of chilly weather, closed deals this week. The National Garage, the TalcottOverland, the Chenoweth agency, the Jones-Chevrolet companies report a week of record business for this time of the year. The Bernard agency, which handles the Ford, maintained its record of sales. The McConaha company, the Quaker City garage, the Dodge agency, the Jeffery agency, the Elgin agencies report no dearth of business. GOVERNOR HOPES Continued from page One Germany, Richmond people recognize the fact that it is incumbent upon voters of the district to exercise the greatest care and discretion In the selection of their next representative in congress. Wherever this matter was discussed here today it was agreed that it was a wise move on the part of Governor 1 Goodrich, to call a special election at an early date, and both Republicans and Democrats declared that there was no place for petty politics in the selection of Judge Comstock's successor. Henry U. Johnson Mentioned It is an interesting fact that coupled j with every discussion heard here today on the selection of a new congressman the name of Henry U. Johnson was mentioned as a man admirably competent to fill the vacant office. So well received was this suggestion that it was not long before a spontaneous movement was in progress calling for the election of Mr. Johnson on a non-partisan ticket, with the support of both the Republican and Democratic organizations. It was pointed out that in sending Mr. JohnMuskegon wins the cup for the largest opening day attendance. Over 3,000 paid admissions. Now If Muskegon can beat Richmond three straight the Joy cups of the fans up there will be filled to overflowing. They dont like either Myers or Richmond In that burg. Manager Myers hopes that Catcher Eggemeyer that he has lines out for two more players to patch up weak places in the lineup. He does not state what changes will be made or what players he is after. WANT 500 AUTOS FILLED WITH FANS FOR BIG PARADE Five hundred automobiles are wanted for the big baseball parade, which starts from Fourth and Main streets, Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. "We want everyone of these five hundred cars filled with fans, also," said Louis Iliff, chairman of the parade committee. The machines will parade over a section of the city and will then go to Exhibition Park. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

District "With Mr. Johnson as our next congressman there would be very few districts so completely represented In the national house as the Sixth Indiana," said one of the men who Is most active in the movement in behalf of Mr, Johnson.

Search the district over and you will find no better man for congress than Mr. Johnson." Mr. Johnson, of course, has not discussed the question of his suggested candidacy for congress. He has a high sense of public duty and bis friends are confident that if a district wide demand was made for his election on a strictly non-partisan basis he would respond to it notwithstanding the fact that he has no political ambitions.
