By DON WARFEL With Vandagrif t's Chiefs as the stepping stones, the Quakers moved up another notch in the Central standing, and as the result of the 4 to 0 and 5 to 4 defeats given Fort Wayne in yesterday's double header they are now in sixth place. Stolz was the master hand in the first contest, and in nine rounds he allowed but three hits, two of these being of the fluke brand that had to be left to guess work more than good solid knowledge. Stolz was pomewhat wilder than Ainsworth in Thursday's game, and he was hindered somewhat by a Quaker error, but his curves wer3 just as dazzling to the Chiefs as those of Red, and Smith's hard drive to left was the only "honest to goodness" hit of the entire game. Ah, a "Wheatball" Artist. Cummins, the Fort Wayne "wheatball" artist, who pitched his first game on the Quaker lot, had the boys guessing for the first few minutes of the game, and he started out with the same style that Roberts showed Thursday. But he lasted not a bit longer than Roberts. As in the first game of the series, Schick started the fireworks with a single in the second round, and the side was out before he had a chance to score.

FROM BASE TO BASE

Fort Wayne's ball club is now truly "shoL" Following the game yesterday, Glockson, Chief right fielder, had a fight with umpire Daly over a fine affixed by the umpire, and a warrant was Issued for his arrest. He left town last night to escape arrest, and will not play with the club today. Glockson was one of the mainstays of the Chief's garden men and with both hi n and Mike Kelly out of the game, the line-up will be badly patched up. Umpire Daly and Boss Gilbert are telling of an amusing experience the two had while in the International league. Gilbert was a player on the Toronto team and in a game at Baltimore he was on the bench. Daly made a decision that Gilbert didn't like, .and Rufe started to argue about it. Without any further comment, he was chased off the field by Daly and the Incident was apparently closed. About two weeks later the two men

AH, A NOBLEMAN TO JOIN QUAKERS

Announcement was made Saturday morning by Manager 'Gilbert, that the Quakers are to have a real nobleman on their line-up in Sunday's games.

Under an optional agreement, Jean Lafayette, of the Cincinnati Reds, will play with Richmod for the remainder of this season, and will report with

I the Quakers in time for the double

header tomorrow afternoon. Lafayette claims to be a direct decendant of the famous marquis and is also one of the best youngsters in the majors this season. He was taken by the Reds from the Northwestern league at the same time that Herman Pillett, who was recently transferred to the Quakers, and during his stay in the mountain circuit wr one of the leading hitters of that league Lafayette is a hitting outfielder, and has an average in the minors that is better than .300. The appearance of a hitting outfielder on the Quaker line-up will greatly strengthen the team and Manager Gilbert claims that his team will be on the rise, from now until the end of the season.

met in a game at Montreal and orders were received that Gilbert would not be allowed to play until he paid a fine of $10. Gilbert was out of the game for two days and on the third day cam on the field and handed the urn. pi re a sack containing a thousand pennies. The umpires held up the game until the money was counted and Gilbert was given another fine of the same amount for delaying the game. Daly still contends that Gilbert made a mistake in the amount of money in the sack, and declares that he and the other umpire had a drink apiece with the extra ten cents. The Boss hisself goes on the mound against the Chiefs this afternoon, leaving Ainsworth and Pillett for the double bill tomorrow.

Elks To Entertain Reds and "August

The Cincinnati Reds will be the guests of the Elks' club next Tuesday evening, at a lawn party to be given by the club. . Garry Hermann, chairman of the national commission, and past grand exalted ruler of the B. P. 0. E., will be present. Harry Frankel's "Jazz band" will

furnish the music, patriotic and other-

from Glen Miller springs will be served, that is, in addition to fifty-seven varieties of "eats," so the announcement of the committee says.

TWO BITS

Give It when Hat Is Passed Sunday for Amexes' Fun.

Richmond baseball fans will have an opportunity to give their share to the Clark Griffith Bat and Ball fund at the double header Sunday afternoon at Exhibition park. A collection for the fund will be taken between the two games Sunday afternoon and this will be forwarded to the state fund committee at Indianapolis. Contributions to the fund are wholly voluntary, and heretofore have been 25 cents from each contributor. Fans may give any amount they see fit to the collection Sunday afternoon. The Quakers will contribute to the fund. The Clark Griffith Bat and Ball fund is a patriotic move, and is for the purpose of furnishing baseball supplies for the American soldiers in France. A fund was started early In the summer, and $8,000 worth of supplies were

shipped to Europe for the soldiers.

steamer Kansas, however, and when that ship was sunk the entire outfit was lost. The campaign for funds will close on August 12, and at the request of the state committee, the Palladium has been asked to raise Richmond's share of the fund. Do your bit for the recreation of the Amexes by giving Two Bits!
