Wayne at Dayton: By DON WARFEL The big boss of the league was looking on yesterday afternoon. After Umpire Jansen ordered that a ball knocked Into the ditch near the left field fence should go for the circuit, the Evas proceeded to ind the riitrh nn four senarate and distlnce occasions, and won both games of the louble header, 4 to 3 ana 5 to i. Manager Gilbert kicked on the irrnmirl rnlp ronearnlnc the left field fence, and asked that the same rule that has been in force here all season, that of giving a player all the bases he can make on a ball to the fence, be used. Start in First Frame The Evas started the execution of the new rule In the very first inning. With one down. Knoll knocked a grounder to left field that Coveleskie nllnwpil to roam throueh his legs. and the ball rolled into the hole for the first marker. Hauger repeated the performance on the next ball pitched, and the Evas had a two run lead. Pillett then pitched steady ball until the sixth, when a bad hand forced him out of the game, and Stolz took the reins. In the eighth, Kelly singled, and Kibble knocked the third fly into the left field ditch for two more, making the Evas total four. Richmond scored one run In each of the fifth, sixth and eighth. In the fifth, Reilly singled, and scored on Donica's tko bagger to deep right. In the seventh, Gygll walked, and was sent around on singles by Crouch and Rapp, and in the eighth, Rapp scored on a triple, and a sacrifice by Reilly. Red Has One Bad One One big round, which caused the retirement of Red Alnsworth from the box. gave the Evas the second game. Red was still in good condition when he left the mound, but Manager Gilbert pulled him out so he could start in the game Monday. The Quakers' downfall in the second came in the third Inning. Devereaux landed safely on first when Hauser allowed the ball to slip from his fingers after a bunt. He went around on Winchell's sacrifice and stopped at third when Mathews singled. Ainsworth purposely walked Hauger, after two were down and clogged tho bases. Altermatt then broke up the game with another lofter to the ditch for four counts. The Quakers' two in the second game came in the fourth on two passes, an error by Daubert, and Schick's double. In the Majors Nations I League At St. Louis R. H. E.

Crippled from his many accidents on the harness turf, but still carying his friendship making smile, "Pop" Geers, the veteran reinsman from Memphis, Tenn. remains the idol of the racegoing public. This year "Pop" has not a etable like those which he has been accustomed to take down the Grand Circuit, but it is always the Geers" entry that gets the applause from the crowd when the "grand old man of the sulky" appears on the track. Geers hasn't been among the leading winning race drivers so far: but unless critics are wrong in their predictions, Geers' time is coming. Peter Juns, a handsome two year old colt by the famous sire, Peter the Great, Is the phenomenon thtat Geers will spring at the coming North Randall meeting August 13, and the horse appears to have a future thata will include titular honors. Peter Volo. with a tab of 2:04 as a two year old, today holds the stallion championship for that age, while theh Real Lady, with a mark of 2:04 54. Is the world's champion two year old filly. While those records surprised the entire horse world, horsemen will, not be surprised if Peter June surposses both. Although he has not yet made his first start, which incidentally will be made at North Randall on Tuesday, August 14, he has already shown ability to tramp close to two minutes. He has worked considerably better than 2:10 and ha3 stepped a final half in one minute flat. And if Geers does uncover a champion, It will be a feat to be proud of, for he is now in his sixty-ninth year and has seen double the service of any other Grand Circuit reinsman. Just 49 years ago, Geers drove hi;? first race and since then he has never been suspected of haven driven but to win. That "honesty is the best pol icy" has certainly been proved in his case. The eastern section of the Lincoln highway is almost completely surfaced with concrete or other hard material. $1.00 Weekly WHY PAY CASH?
