Grand Rapids at Fort Wayne. Muskegon at South Bend. Springfield at Evansville. Twenty-five hundred persons defied a threatened cloudburst yesterday and attended the opening game at Exhibition park, the new home of Richmond's Central league team. They saw the Quakers go . down to defeat at the bands of the Dayton Vets. 6 to 2, and were deeply disappointed. Nevertheless they enjoyed themselves completely, for the new park Is a pastime plant any city would be proud of, and it was generally agreed that the home club is a pretty nifty outfit, even If it did get a licking. Preceedlng the game, there was an
automobile parade in which a large
number of machines wexe entered. After the two teams had worked a sharp practice, Will W. Reller made a brief address dedicating the park. He told the fans, the women folks and the kids, that the park was theirs and i that the management hoped for liberal attendance. Richmond's league team was a community enterprise. Reller explained, and the community must support it He added that the city had no better advertising medium than its ball club. Introduces Charles Weeghman. Reller concluded by introducing
Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Nationals and a former Richmond man, to pitch the first ball with Mayor Robbing as his catcher. As Weeghman and Robblns stepped forth the crowd yelped with glee and demanded a speech of Weeghman, but he only grinned and hurled the ball at the mayor, who made a neat catch and pegged the ball to First Baseman Gygll. "Play b-a-w-1," squaked Umpire Slcar, and a mighty cheer arose. The seating capacity of the park was almost utilized. Probably two hundred more persons could have found seats in the pavilion. The bleachers were fill
ed as were the "overflow" seats in front of the bleachers. Rowan Works for Vets. ' "Red" Ainsworth was Myers' pitching selection with McCluskey as his battery mate. The veteran Jack Rowan pitched for Dayton and was effective from start to close. Dayton got lo Ainsworth in the seventh inning and bagged the game when three long singles and the Quakers' lone error, committed by Evers, netted three runs. Just one base on balls was given dur
ing the game, the pass being Issued by Rowan. The fielding of both teams was good considering the fact that the playing field is not yet in too notch share.
The fresh sod of the infield makes it somewhat slow, while the outfield is rough in spots, making it difficult for the outfielders to Judge ground balls. The soft Infield was responsible for two Dayton runs in the seventh. With Storch and Hobbs on the bases Stewart rolled one down first base line. Evers coming In for it. The ball, stopped dead just out of Evers's reach after the second baseman had checked
himself to field It In his haste to recover the ball he Juggled it and the
two base runners romped home. Had
the ball been handled cleanly a double
play would have resulted and Dayton probably . would have been held runlees that inning. Infield Plays Fast Baseball The Richmond infield put up a very fast article of baseball and the base pinning exhibitions of Rapp and Evers enthused the crowd. Jim Kelly, who appears to be one of the "ands" of the season, put up a brilliant exhibition at short field and contributed two hits. In the fourth, Evers smacked a tremendous triple to right field and then scored on one of the most brilliant plays ever seen in this city. After Boseolont had lifted a pop foul fly back of third, cleanly handled by Third Baseman Miller, Evers raced for the plate and escaped being tagged
out, by a spectacular hook slide. Richmond scored Its second run in the fifth. Rapp drew the only pass issued by Rowan and by sensational base running went from Irst to third on McCluskey's sacrifice. He scored on Ainsworth's single. A two bagger by Stewart and a single by Brennegan gave Dayton a run in the fifth. Dayton secured three more In the seventh and in the ninth the pesky Mr. Stewart smote a home run into deep center.
DOLLINS AND SMITH SCORE MOST POINTS
A lead of six-sevenths of a point is all that separates Collie Smith and Roland Dollins, star members of the R. H. S. track squad, in the season just closed. Smith's record in points is 41; Dollins, 40 1-7, Robert Brumley finished next with twenty-two credits. The fact that Captain Dollins managed to help his team as much as he did attests the gameness of the R. H. S. tracker. Dollins suffered a broken arm in a basketball game, and was therefore not in the best of condition for track work....

Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Richmond plays, at Evansville Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, returning to open another home series on Wednesday, Decoration Day. On that holiday, two contests will be staged with the league-leading Evansville club, one in the morning, the ther in the afternoon.
While some of the Richmond club officials were gjving a breakfast for President Weeghman of the Cubs yes
terday morning, an unkind prankster turned on a hose on the hotel roof, the water splattering on the sill of the window opposite which President Eggemeyer of the Quakers was sitting. Believing a rain storm was in pfbgress, Eggemeyer almost fainted. Weeghman had a sad day yesterday. While he was witnessing the beating of the Quakers, in which club he owns a block of stock, his Cubs were getting a trouncing from the Philadelphias. He received the Cub score by innings from the press box.

GAMES TODAY National League. Cincinnati at Boston. Chicago at Philadelphia. St. Louis at Brooklyn. Pittsburgh at New York. American League. New York at Detroit. American Association. Columbus at Toledo. Louisville at Indianapolis. Milwaukee at Kansas City. St. Paul at Minneapolis.
Sam Karpf, business manager of the Dayton team, was the happiest man in the city yesterday afternoon. "This is
a crowd we hadn't counted on," said Samuel. "It's the biggest we have played to this season, and the best looking crowd I ever saw." Same predicts that Richmond is going to be a "regular" baseball town. Jake Fromholz is' down to pitch for
Richmond today. Jack Frost, the vilest pitcher in captivity, will probably be Nee's pitching selection. The paid attendance at the game yesterday was 2,387. There were about 2,500 persons on the grounds. In their last four games the Quakers have played to about 6,100 people. Splendid crowds witnessed the three games at Muskegon. There were a large number of wom
en at the game yesterday and allof!
them were greatly pleased over the
comfortable accommodations of the pavilion. The management wants all
Kicnmona women to become fans. The
games are cleanly conducted and worn
en are absolutely safe In attending, even without escort. Every Friday is
ladies day. All women accompanied
pany.
A number of Cincinnati and Dayton men witnessed the game. They were all greatly pleased with the new park and enjoyed the game thoroughly. In Joe Evers, the fans realized yesterday, Richmond has the fastest man and the most accomplished base runner In the league. Rapp is goinz to
give Joseph a lively tilt for base running honors, however. Catcher Krpg, who was injured in Fort Wayne over a week ago, will be
aDie to lane his regular turn in a few days. Catcher Texter is still suffering from a sore arm. McCluskey will do the backstopping until the two regulars are in service again. Jim Kelly is a fixture at short field. This little fellow is developing rapidly. He is fielding his position in the most approved manner and is hitting close to the .30Q mark.
