A. heavy rain In the wee sma' hours yesterday morning made the new playing field at Exhibition park very soggy but the final game of the Evansville series could have been played had it not been for a downpour about noon. Officers of tha Richmond club are thankful, however, that the deluge did not come Memorial Day. Myers and bis Quakers departed for Dayton this morning, where they play today. Saturday and Sunday. Then comes three games at Springfield. After the series with the . Reapers Richmond returns home for twelve games on the borne lot, opening with Grand Rapids next Thursday. Bob Works Today. Bob Coucbman was billed to pitch for the Quakers this afternoon and if he turns In a game like the one he worked In at Evansville the Vets are

in Tor a licking. Russell Breaux, formerly an outfielder with the defunct Galveston, Texas league, team, who accepted terms and transportation wired him by the Richmond club, is still numbered among , the missing. He either is enjoying a vacation at bis home in New Orleans or has become lost, In the Judgment of Manager Myers. This lad is referred to by sport writers on the Texas league circuit as i one of the best looking youngsters in ' that organization and Myers is very -anxious to get' him. Get Clear Title to Mike. Yesterday Mike Hauser by signing a new contract offered him by President Eggemeyer become the property of th9 local club. Under the terms of the first contract Hauser signed he was to-become a free agent at the

close of the present season. Hauser looked bo good in the few games he Las played with the Quakers that the management decided be was booked to go up to faster company, cither by sale or draft, and President Eggemeyer naturally wanted to get a clear title tc him. Elsewhere in this issue are published the averages of the Richmond players, and the fans are asked to give their careful consideration to the base stealing record of one Joe Evers, second baseman de luxe. In twentyone games Joseph has pilfered seventeen bases. This Is a record which has seldom been equaled In any league, a record that even the famous T. Raymond Cobb might envy. May Steal Hundred. The Central league season calls for 126 games, and if Evers continues pilfering bases all season at bis present rate of speed his record should be close to one hundred thefts. There are some mighty clever catchers In the Central, but they all look alike to Joe. The little speed marvel is also hitting over .260 and many of his hits are good for extra bases. No complaint can be made of his fielding. Some of these wise ecouts for major league clubs could earn their salaries by devoting some attention to the Quakers second baseman. A number of Richmond fans are arranging to attend the game Sunday at Dayton between the Quakers and the Vets... . "

On The Boards

MURRAY "The Tidal Wave" proved to be a splendid play as presented by the Otis Oliver Players at the Murray last evening. . The principle part, Dave Merrick, was played by Harry Newton, his performance was without a flaw. Sarah Glbney as Ruth, was most satisfactory, her pleasing personality and wellmodulated voice helped to make the play a success. Pauline LeRoy was given a sympathetic role as the blind mother. Her artistic work in the closing scene at the home-coming of her boy, was a gem. Jack Robertson as Joe Merrick the jealous brother who plots Dave's downfall; did some of the best acting in the third act that has ever been seen on a local stage. Others lending capable support and rounding out an excellent performance were Harry Royal, Glen Argoe as the Hawaiian girl, Harry J. - Wallace and Charles -Phipps. "The Tidal Wave" remains until Saturday with the usual matinees. - . -

BRITISH LOSSES REACH BIG TOTAL III KOIITli OF MAY

LONDON," June'T British " casualties as published in May show a total of 5,902 officers and 106,331 men. The British offensive on ' the' Arras front, involving some of the severest fighting of the war, naturally has resulted in a large Increase in casualties over the Inactive winter season. Casualties for the last few months hve not been received, but ln.Febniary the total reported was only.13 officers and 17.185 men. " The . assertion' of the British that their losses 'are fifty per cent, smaller than -in the battle of the Somme. notwithstanding the fact that" larger forces are engaged- is not borne out by the May figures, although in the absence of the casualties report for ApriL early in which month the offensive was launched, the showing la not conclusive. The casualties recorded in the first three months, of ; the Somme drive were 307469 officers and men. In August of last year the second month of the Somme battle, the casualties were 127.945, as compared with. 113.233 for May, the second month of - the Arras battle. '
