' " Springfield. 14; Evansville, 2. . Under command of Joe Evers, new Manager of the Quakers. Richmond defeated Dayton Sunday in the Gem City by a score of 2 to 1, the) bulk of the credit for the victory going to "Red" Ainsworth, who pitched master ful ball, and to the adding and batting of Jimmy Kelly. It was the Irst game played by the Quakers, under the management of Evers, and after the third Dayton out In the ninth Inning a small army of Richmond fans who had gone to Dayton to help Joe and his crew to a Stood getaway swarmed on the field and stormed the Richmond bench. Evers was chowered with congratulations and the little fellow, who was greatly embarrassed, had much dufflculty in effecting an escape from his admirers. Ainsworth Feels Dayton Alnsworth's support wobbled at times but the sorrel top was not to be denied. He kept slipping his fast ones and twisters over the pan and the Dayton sluggers, with the exception of Spencer, could do nothing with his delivery. Ainsworth deserved a shoutout. Dayton's one run was due to an error by Kelly, but the Quaker shortstop more than redeemed this miscue. His timely hit in the second scored both J.ichmond runs and In the sixth, with Derrick on third and Sterch on second and only one out Kelly knocked down - a sizzling grounder off Hobbs' bat and by a perfect peg to Hauser got Derrick at the plate. Stewart then flew out to Donelson, who, the same inning, had threatened to muss up the game by dropping Storch's high floater. Hew Frest Lost the Game Those always dangerous bases on balls cort Forst a victory. Not a pass was issued by Ainsworth. In the second inning Crouch drew a pass and then Hauser was walked. Evers filled the bags when he beat out an infield bit. Donelson rolled to Frost and Crouch was out at the plate. Kelly then slappeed a hard driven single to left and Hauser and Evers trotted home. Ainsworth singled to center but Donelson was thrown cut at second. Dayton threatened to change the complexion of the pastime, in the fourth when the hard hitting Mr. Spencer led off with a triple to deep center. Storch hit to Kelly and was out at first on a pretty play. Then Hobbs hit a hard one to Kelly, who juggled it. Spencer scoring and Hobbs reaching first. Hobbs . immediately stole second. Fans Stewart Ainsworth was not the least worried over .this bad luck, however, for be struck out Stewart, one of the best hitters in the league. Brennegan flew , to Crouch, ending the inning. From that time on Ainsworth was the complete master of the situation. With two out in the sixth a flock of Richmond runs was threatened but Donelson fell down in a pinch, leaving three Quaker runners stranded on the bags. Breaux, Richmond's latest recruit fro'ra the Texas league, played his first game. Although he did not make a hit he imprtsspd the crowd as a very promising player.

FATHER

Evers Accepts Managerial Berth; Change is Popular with Players

Directors Draft Second Baseman for . Job Breaux Joins, Strengthens Team ?: Red Hart Has Not Returned: Joe Evers, star second baseman of the Quakers, is now manager of the team. At a meeting of the club directors Saturday night it was decided to release Bade Myers as manager. The temporary management of the club was offered to Evers, and he. was assured that if he produced results the job would be his permanently. Evers had not been a candidate for the position. In fact the directors had to draft him as manager, accepting the position only when the directors insist that he should do so. Evers Popular With Fans. The appointment of Evers has re ceived the indorsement of the Rich mond fans with whom he is very popular. Evers has the respect of all the players of the team and they say that they will work their heads off to make good for him. The little fellow is a bright, hustling -and pugnacious player and a thorough student of the game. Inside baseball holds no mystery to him and he goes into every game to win. A defeat nearly breaks bis heart. In addition to having "all the qualities of a successful leader he is without a doubt the best player in his position in the league and the league's most skilful base runner. Myers Did Good Work.

CARE OF tOO TOMKHT- AMVTuikiA

TOO WANT- JOtT LET HE KNOWa Glance promising players for Richmond, his administration of the club's affairs was not completely successfull and the club directors decided that what the team needed was a playing rather than a bench manager, so the services of Myers were dispensed with. He re tires from the management without any ill feeling against the club ofAc ials. No man knows minor league baseball better than My ere and he should experience no difficulty in lining up another good job. "Managing a ball team is something new for me," Evers confided to a newspaper man following the game Sunday. "I didn't ask for the Job but the club officers told me that they wanted me to try my hand at the management and I consented to do so. 1 will do everything in my power to make good. Bade Byera has been a good friend of mine and I wish him all kinds of good luck. Evers Anxious to Succeed. "You can tell the Richmond fans that I will do everything In my power to produce a winner for them.'. Richmond is a great baseball town and deserves a winner. All I ask of them is their support until I have had time to get the club into a winning stride. If I cannot do this I will step aside for some one else, but I am sure we now have the nucleus of a winner. A little strengthening and Richmond will be the equal of the best .in the league." Richmond has the pltcners,'" "splendid infield and catching staff and with the addition of one more hard, hitting outfielder the team will yet be a factor in the chase for the pennant. Breaux Joints the Team. Breaux. who joined the team yesterday, will fit in well In the outfield. He is a very fast man and meets the ball well. George Texter, the Quaker catcher who was released Friday by Myers, worked out with the team yesterday but he will not be retained. Krek, a very promising youngster, will be the club's second string backstop. "Red" Hart, one of the pitchers, who jumped the club Friday has not returned to the fold as yet, although he said he would in the event Myers was released. If the red top does return he will probably have a fine to pay, for such breach of discipline as he was guilty of cannot be overlooked. Looka Here, Fans Richmond. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.
