Takes League, team will arrive here today but probably not in time to take part In the battle this afternoon at Exhibition park, the opening game of a aeries with Springfield. Couchman and Hauser will add much needed strength to the Quakers. With both Catchers Texter and Kreg on the hospital list. Richmond has dropped some close contests lately, but with the . experienced Hauser catching that department of play will be well cared for. Weather Hamper Pitching. Bad weather has taken the edge- off the Quakers' pitching and Couchman, thoroughly conditioned by work In the south, should prove a great help. It was necessary for the local management to postpone the third game of the Dayton series yesterday because of wet grounds. The playing

field at Exhibition park being new the ground is naturally somewhat soft and until it hardens any hard rain is likely to make It so muddy that it cannot be used for pastlmdng. At the time for play yesterday afternoon some parts of the field were ankle deep In mud. To accommodate patrons of the game the local club management today Installed a large sign, shaped like a baseball, at Eighth and Main streets. This sign Is lettered "Game Today." It will be displayed whenever a game is to be played. If rain or wet grounds prevent playing the ball with be withdrawn an hour before the time scheduled for the game to tart. Hart Will Start Game. If the grounds are in shape to be played on this afternoon "Red" Hart will probably be called upon to pitch lor Richmond. Springfield's pitching selection ia not known. One of the spectators at the game this afternoon will be Eddie Herr, chief scout for the St. Louis Nationals and the discoverer of the Cardinal's sensational third baseman, Rogers Hornsby. Herr is on a tour of the Central league cities in search of promising players. He wants to look over two Richmond players especially. "What St. Louis needs is a shortstop, an outfielder and another pitcher," Herr said. With the addition of Couchman and Hauser Richmond now has seventeen players on its payroll and It will be necessary to release or suspend four players to get down to the playing limit, thirteen men, not including the manager.

On The Screen

WASHINGTON "Buster" Keaton. one of the principals in the support of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, whose first Paramount Arbuckle Comedy tworeeler, "The Butcher Boy." is to be released April 23, is authority for the statement that those vaudeville patrons who were wont to sympathize with him because of the way his father. Joe Keaton, hurled him about the stage, will have much greater reason to feel compassion for him when they see what befalls him at the hands of "Fatty" in the film. WASHINGTON Clara Kimball Young is coming to the Washington theatre today and Friday in "Camille." This, of course, Is based upon Alexandre Dumas' great French play, "The Lady with the Camellias." This play has given the greatest actress of two generations the opportunity of appearing in a spectacular role, bringing out all of the varied emotions which can be shown on the stage.

WASHINGTON There is an actor in "Told at Twilight," the Pathe photoplay starring Baby Marie Osborne, to be shown at the Washington theatre Saturday, who will probably never become famous. He is a little colored boy and little Mary Sunshine runs away from home to play with him. The manner in which they get money to buy ice cream cones and then eat and eat, is well worth the price of admission. MURRETTE In order to play the feminine lead, that of Mary Ward, in J. Stuart Blackton's patriotic spectacle. "Womanhood, the Glory of a Nation," which is at the Murrette theatre on June 1, 2, 3, Alice Joyce was forced to learn to drive a motor. A country. road along the Hudson was chosen for the lessons for here is where the scenes showing her escaping through the enemy's lines were to be filmed. After the necessary training. Miss Joyce was able to qualify as an expert driver apd the camera-man and director stood their ground when the final action started. MURRETTE "Say Uncle!" It la the well-known command of the bully who pinches the kiddie's arm until he complies with the order. In Mary Pickford's new Artcraft picture at the Murrette theatre Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the "bad man" compels her to say the word in a similar manner. However, in "A Romance of the Redwoods," little "Jenny" by saying the word is not freed of her worries. MURRETTE Always noted for the beauty of her gowns, Marie Doro, the charming Lasky star, who will be seen at the Murrette on Monday and Tuesday in the Lasky-Paramount product

ion of "Castles for Two," has a splendid opportunity aa a wealth American heiress, to display her latest creations.
