Jimmy Hamilton's pugnacious Muskies will entertain the first Sunday crowd of the season at Central park tomorrow afternoon in conjunction with Joe Evers tail-enders. With a steady down-pour of rain taking whatever chances Richmond might have had for a comback today. Pill Esslck and his crew from Grind F.aplds will leave tonight for Evansvilla with- a clear record of two victrrles and no defeats, given them by the frequent bobbles of the Quakers. Poor Fielding Cause. In both contests the Quakers handed the victory to Grand Rapids by poor fielding, while the Richmond pitchers put up high claas exhibitions of mound work. In yesterday's game, Red Ainsworth held the Grao-1 Rapids slugmen to three hits in the first nino innings of yesterday's contest but five boots in the sixth inning, which allowed two runs, put them In the running and when Red monjen tartly weakened in the eeventh gave thea an opportunity to win the game. Melter started that awful inning after Brant had flied out to Evers, with a sharp binjlo down the left foul lire. Rapp then ptcrtad tlie "Borneo" act by throvins' tl'.e ball away in an effort to catfh Matter at first and the Grand Rapids slabman romped to aceond. Mitchell was the next to receive benefit from thf Quakers' poor fielding, landing s.ifely ou first when Kelly did a luBgUng act with his grounder to short. Field Day Start. After that, things happened all at once. Gygli took his turn at mussing them up, then Breaux tried to scare the left field bleachers by throwing the ball Into It and Rapp, not willing to have his party closed by any one else, finished Mie work by throwing the ball to the plat about a mile high. Beault one hit, two, runs, em. The Quakers started a little fireworks in the seventh. Rapp, evidently wishing to make up for his work in the sixth, started the inning witn a double to . center. He scored the Quakers' first jun on Crouch's single to ripht. Hauser and Evers went out on fly balls. The local crew tied the score In the ninth. With one down, Crouch nailed out his third hit and went to third on Mauser's long blngle to right but was caught at home in trying to beat the ball from the Jiela. Hauser went to second on a passed ball and took third on Evers' blow to short, scoring the tying run on Kelly's hit. In the eleventh Essick's gang broke up the game by slamming out three singles and a triple for three runs and foiled Richmond's attempt to come back by cutting the Quakers off with only two runs in their section of the inning, ending the game with the filial score a to 4.

COPENHAGEN, (via Lone, June S. Premier Radoslavof f, of . Bulgaria arrived last night in Berlin, accompanied by Director Stojenaoff of the commission on public debt The presence of M. Stojanoff is Interpreted as meaning that the Bulgarian premier's mission, in addition to a discussion of peace terms with Chancellor Von Beth-mann-Hollweg and Count Crernln, the Austrian foreign minister, has to do with "the German subsidy to Bulgaria. Germany has been advancing her southern ally 40,000,000 .marks a month.

Red Ainsworth pitched a consistent same, but the crowd behind him had ?videnOy been playing in the butter again. The Quakers got . Meier's goat in the tenth, and the Grand 'Rapids slabroan retired In favor of Carpenter in that inning after Dopelson had started with a single. But the Quakers were not to be denied and Evers showed Carpenter he knew how by poling out a triple In the eUvcntb. After Grand Rapids had their party in the first of Uie eleventh, all the fans prayed for rain and were answered with about five drops. Had It not been for the rain. It would have been Fromholz this p. m. but It looks as though Jake will start against the Muskegs tomorrow. A near lynching was started when come boob yelled out that AinsworU

was rotten. And Red allowed but three hits in nine innings. Announcement has been made that Wagner has been ' released to make room for Kreg who has been on the Injured list for come time with a busted thumb. Krcg hereafter will take his regular turn behind the plate.

Reller, chairman of the Wayne county delegation, ai ose on the callins of the eighty-third ballot and announced "Wayne county casts its thirty-one votes for Richard N. Elliott" the convention was momentarily stunned. Then the Fayette delegates, quickly recovering, became delirious with joy. "Wayne has broken for Elliott; its all over now," was the comment heard in every part of the convention hall. Wayne Solid Again.

Only twice during the voting did Byram C. Robbins of Richmond, poll the full voting strength 'Of Wayne county. . It was a test of his strength and a feeler to determine whether Henry county with its 22 votes would observe a preconventlon promise to give its support to any candidate Wayne gave its undivided support to. Henry, however, continued throwing the bulk of its vote to George Barnard, and as a result the Wayne delegates returned to their original alignments, from twenty.-four to twenty-seven of them voting for Robbins each time, the majority of the others voting for

C. Robbins and President R. L. Kelly

of Earlham college. A complimentary 15 votes were given Kelly by the Wayne delegation on the first ballot the other 15 votes going to Robbins. On the second ballot Kelly's name was withdrawn, and the majority of the nine riAleeat.es who had declared them

Bossert boosters. They hailed from thA western nrt of the conntv. their

guiding star being Ed Paul, a Cam

bridge City manufacturer, who riauy refused to give any consideration to

the Robbins candidacy. Throughout the balloting, until the last few ballots, the Wayne delegation., because of the actions of the antl-

Robbins faction, pursued a vacillating

course? This crowd, time after tune, gave Bossert the majority of their . votes and scattered their other votes among numerous candidates. Charles O. Williams, Charles W. Jordan and. William Bond were among those who received stray . votes from the antlRobbins delegates. Kelly Is Indignant. ' .Indignant because his candidacy had been coldly received in Wayne county and blaming the collapse of his boom to men active in the support of the Robbins' candidacy. Dr. Kelly came to Rushvllle yesterday morning and remained Just long enough to announce that he would have his name presented in nomination for the purpose of splitting the Wayne delegation against Robbins. Another rock on which the Robbins candidacy was split was the sub rosa candidacy of District Chairman Bossert This man had four Wayne delegates from western Wayne, hand-picked by his brother-In-law Dr. Squires of Milton. The fact leaked out before the convention convened that Bossert was the favored, candidate the state Republican organization; and this' crowd put In hard licks for him until the bitter, end, but the Bossert candidacy received no serious consideration. Having denied to the Wayne caucus of the forenoon that he was to be regarded as a candidate Bossert all afternoon and evening worked Industriously keeping alive the dim spark of his ill-fated boom. Once he appealed to a Robbins delegate from Wayne for the entire vote of the Wayne delegation, but his proposal was sternly rebuffed by the Robbins men. -
