Unless the rain of last night and this morning puts the grounds out of condition, Joe Evers and his crew of Quakers are to take another shot at Essick's Grand Rapids contingent at Central park this afternoon. After dropping yesterday's contest by allowing the foe, two runs In the third, the Quakers are looking for someone to come back at, and Grand Rapids appears to be the "goat" - Evers has three slabmen In line for this afternoon's contest. Either Wagner, Fromhols or Alnsworth will start the contest With the breaks falling anywhere near even and with Jim Kelly able to stick to them, Richmond should even up yesterday's defeat Box Pep Short Yesterday's contest was a series of erratic pitching, poor fielding. This was accompanied by some red hot baseball in which the fielding of both teams made up for the lack of pep In the box. Five errors, three of which were the handiwork of Jim Kelly, gave the Grand Rapids nine the benefit of any doubt there might have been before the game as to who would win. Jim's

rait was greased throughout the contest ard he let three get away In four chances. Crouch bobbled a hit in left and Rapp mussed up a grounder to third for the other errors. Tht work of Kelly, however, was dim wed by the brilliant play of the rest of the field who time after time saved the game from "Soup" Young's tendency toward wlldness. The Quakers kept the ball from the start and the fact that ten Grand Rapids men died on the paths shows the success of their efforts. .- Visitors Brilliant, Too Nor was the fielding of the Quakers any more brilliant than that of Grand Rapids. Gosborn had some of the t same stuff that Young was passing around and the fans were given plenty of thrills. The real fun commenced in the second inning. With one down, Hauser drew - a pass and advanced to third when Evers singled sharply to right Kelly tried for a squeeze but swung so slowly that he bothered DeVormer after he missed and Hauser, who had started for the plate, scored when the Grand Rapids backstop dropped the ball. Lose In Third

The Quakers' chances went to the scrap heap In the third, however, when a couple of Jim Kelly's errors, a single, a triple and a base on balls netted Grand Rapids two. Mitchell started the Inning with a single, went to second on a Jlmbobble, and to third on Carey's sacrifice. He was out running out of line, however, when Mathes hit, Mathes landing safely on Becond. Miller drove a triple left, scoring Mathes and romped home when Jim Kelly tried to throw the ball over the right field fence. For the rest of the game, the field

ing of the two teams kept both out of the scoring column, Richmond's only chance to score, which came in the ninth, being blown away with two

men on.

Ghampion Using His Right To Help Knockout Kaiser

Benny Leonard, the champion lightweight of the world, is an adept with his right hand. He used it with such telling effect that in his encounter with Welsh he wrested the title from the former owner.

To show that his right is still in trim he dropped into the New York office of the Liberty Loan Committee and the photo shows him in the act of wielding the pen with his mighty right in subscribing to the War Loan.

FROM BASE TO BASE

Watch us win this afternoon, Wagner. Ainsworth or Fromholz at 3 o'clock. The Czar of Russia in all his glory did not have a thing on Daly. Edington showed the red flag and was sent from the field, Joe Evers made his first appearance as manager of the Quakers with some regular baseball. Three hits in four times up and eight chances in the field without an error was Jodey's

proof that he "knows how.'' The team showed more pep in yesterday's game

than they have at any time this season. Although Young was not pitching the best kind of ball, (and then ing the best kind of ball, the boys were full of pep and saved Soup on several occasions. Even though Edington was put out of the game for crabbing with Umpire Daly, Grand Rapids had "Faeth" for a victory. This afternoon at three o'clock and we're due to win. Magnates of the Western league, at a meeting to elect a new president to succeed F. C. Zehrung have decided to elect E. W. Dickerson, president of the Central circuit In case a change is made. The Western league magnates declare they want a man who knows how to run a baseball league. And they are on the right track. i After declaring that he was through with baseball, Honus Wagner, the "grandpa" of baseball broke into the

game yesterday after a year's layoff. Poor pitching by Mamaux caused Pittsburgh to lose to Brooklyn, 5 to 3. Honus got a single.

"EXCUSE ME " IS ANXIOUS PLEA OF VEGETARIANS

New Yorkers Who Do Not Eat Meat Do Not Wish to Fight, it Seems. NEW YORK, June 8. Those who will , not sink their teeth in a steak will not ' sink their bayonets in the enemy, it appears. In other words, vegetarians will not fight. At least, a lot of them are claiming exemption from conscription on the ground of being vegetarians, it is said. Louis Finkel appeared yesterday at the Bureau of Legal First Aid, No. 70 Fifth Avenue, and made a complaint that a registration clerk refused to record the reason for his exemption claim when Finkel said he was a vegetarian.. And more than that, the clerk said to him: "Ypu are the biggest blufTer yet!" Others Just as Bad The Bureau of Legal First Aid gives advice to pacifists who run foul of the law. Miss Fannie M. Witherspoon in charge there yesterday, said Finkel's was by no means an Isolated case. She said a great number of vegetarians put forward the same exemption claim registration day. It seems that eaters of chops made out of pumpkins and chicken legs fashioned from corn meal claim they do so because they disapprove of "slaughtering" animals for food and therefore they disapprove also of killing . human beings or, more Important, of being killed. Miss Witherspoon said there are thousands of vegetarians in New York and they will practically all claim exemption.
