Richmond at Grand Rapids. South Bend at Dayton. Ft. Wayne at Springfield. Evansville at Muskegon. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. June 23. Richmond defeated Grand Rapids here yesterday, 3 to 1, making it nine vie tories out of the last twelve games played by the Quakers. It' drizzled rain through six innings of yesterday's game but this did not worry the visitors' crack right-hander, "Red" Ainswortb who was invincible until the ninth when he eased up long enough to permit the Billberts to score one run. ,' Grand Rapids has been on a batting orgy for some time but the dose of smoke balls and hooks served up by A ins worth promptly cured them. He allowed only seven hits and passed only one man. ' - Hit Opportunely. Only five hits were made by the Quakers but they pulled their little stunt of slapping out their bingles when hits meant runs. Paul Carpenter worked In the box for Grand Rapids and he turned in a well pitched game. He fanned ten QraVers and was stingy with his hits l ut M-6 Quakers got to him in the c i'ka'. stages. Richmond won the game in the r v th frame. Evers led off with a ' .-'k. Jantzen bunted toward first, Ki'ington fielding it, but there was no 'no to cover the base and Jantzen was 'e. the pestiferous Evers going to ;')! d on the play. . . '.'rouch slapped one to Brant, who I ruled it, and the bases were congestd. Hooker, in pegging to the plate to get Evers, threw wild and Jantzen came home. Gygli fanned and Hauser f!ew out.

He took second on Crouch's out, stole third and counted on Coveleskle's double. Grand Rapids scored in the ninth after Mathes had fanned and Miller had doubled. Edlngton also fanned but Miller v ent to third on Command's short single, counting when Rapp booted Hookr r's roller. Brant was retired for the third out, Evers to Gygli.

Alleged Ball Game Played, But Ramsey Didn't Have to Watch It

BY RAMSEY POUNDSTONE Aa alleged baseball game was played yesterday at Central League park and the only good thing that can be said about it was that the gate receipts, amounting to $67, went to the Richmond Chapter of the Red Cross. The sum realized wasn't half enough because each one of the players should have been assessed not less than $25 for the privilege of getting into the park. It was the only game ever played in this country where the umpires showed up the players. Adolph Blickwedel and John Zwlssler, who did the umpiring, showed real class and they should have arrested the fellows who kicked against their decisions on a charge of making a farce out of the national game. There Ain't No Score." Only one sporting editor was present and he must have climbed the fence because it's against the rules

FROM BASE TO BASE

' Today and Sunday the Quakers play at Grand Rapids and Monday they open a three game series with the lowly Chiefs at Ft. Wayne. Richmond Is scheduled to ciose its present road trip with three games at South Bend, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, next, week, but there is a possibility that the Benders will be outcosts from their home burg by that time, and that the games will be transferred to Richmond. The protracted street car strike at South Bend, combined with the distance of the ball park from the city and the failure of the season ticket sale has made baseball a financial failure in South Bend and the transfer of the club to some live town will not be surprising. On 'the other hand, Ed Smith, owner of the Benders, has given out a statement in Springfield that he has no intention of taking his team away from South Bend. , "South Bend is the best town in the league, but I do need a boosters' day," quoth Eddy. Richmond fans are trying not to act chesty, but some of the most rabid fans can't help swaggering a little. Cincy Reds win another, taking the second game from St. Louis, 5 to 2. Roush led . the attack with four singles. Schneider, pitching for the Reds, was very effective. Umps Byron was escorted to the gabe by twenty cops. It was Hans Wagner Day at Pittsburg yesterday and 12,000 fans celebrated the Dutchman's return to the Mike Major National League. At Pittsburgh R- H.E.

of the Sport Writers' Union to attend such a game. Bill Young volunteered to keep score, but he must have left his lead' pencil home because there ain't no score. . Some fellows said last night that the Doctors beat the Nurses. This fellow was in a bar room at the time, and he didn't have any documents to prove it. Nobody really cared who beat, so there was no argument. If the game hadn't been for the Red Cross promoters . Sam Vigran, Jim Qulgley and old Doc. Duff in would probably have been pinched for obtaining money under false pretenses. The names of the players were printed once, and once is enough, because we have got no hard feelings against them, for we didn't have to watch the game.

Everyone has a home, and the solicitors went to the homes. "We felt that this was a matter that appealed to the heart and sympathy, of individuals, and we're grateful for the response given to this appeal. Other cities have gotten their largest subscriptions from business houses, and our contributions might have been larger, had we followed this plan; but we believe that the conduct of the campaign was a fine thing for the city in an -educational' way. It gave all a chance to contribute, no matter how small the amount, and the contribution if two cents was received and credited with as much care and pleasure as that of two hundred dollars. "The committee wishes to say, however, that if any corporation, society, or lodge wishes to contribute we will be very glad' to receive their contribution." Round Trip
