This game was arranged when it was learned that it would be impossible to get the Cincinnati Red3 here for an exhibition game on Tuesday, August 14th. ' The Browns have been going badly of late, but nevertheless are a scrappy bunch of ball players. They draw about as well as any club in the Ban Johnson circuit and should prove a big attraction here. Sisler To Be Here. Sisler is regarded as one of the greatest players of the day. He started out as a pitcher, but was such a terrific hitter that Branch Rickey, president of the St. Louis Cardinals, but former manager of the Browns, switched George to first base. He can do everything but catch. Lavan is a remarkably fine player, too, and got his start among the sand lots of Mich ' igan.. " ) Another promising youth who will come here will be Ernie Johnson, a brother of George Johnson, now in town umpiring the Central league. Ernie started out with the Chicago White Sox, then went to Los Angeles, A jumped to the St. Louis Feds and has been with the Browns since organized ball put the third major league out ofbusiness. He is an infielder and may be seen at either second or third base. All the regulars will be on hand, as the contract so specifies. .' Tickets that have been sold here? for the Cincinnati game will.be good for the Browns' game, and no new"" tickets will be issued. . FIGHTERS Below Are Three Fighting Men Who Really Want to Fight. They Are Chicago , Pugilists., From Left to Right They Are: Eddie Nearing, Johnny O'Keefe and Maurice Flynn. President Eggemeyer, of the Richmond Central league club, has made arrangements with Fielder Jones, of the St. Louis Browns, to play an ex Viking relics of the ninth century were found in the Hebrides islands In 1916. .

Twelve solid blows from the offerings of Cy Young put Bill Essick's Black Sox in the lead in the first game of the Richmond series here yesterday after noon, and won the game for Grand Rapids, 3 to 1. Richmond put up a good game, and touched Steve Melter for eight safeties, but the fact that Grand Rapids has the better ball team was shown conclusively to the fans yesterday, by the better playing of Essick's men. Grand Rapids fans could write volumes on "How to Win In a Bush League" and get all their Information from the Grand Rapids club. Richmond's batting order looked somewhat better than it did on the last road trip, when practically every
game was lost, and the eight swats collected by the boys from Melter's soup wing, gives the Quakers an opportunity to hope for a victory when they use a pitcher that has more luck than Young.

On The Screen
MURRETTE The "desert rat" spoken of in the Morosco-Paramount production of "The Highway of Hope," which will be seen at the Murrette tonight with Kathlyn Williams and House Peters as the co-stars, must not be confused with the common rodent. The desert rat is the name applied to the hundreds of men who, by themselves, spend their lives in the lonessome places of the desert mountains of California and Nevada, prospecting for gold. Year in and year out with only a pack burrow or two they travel throngh the lonely hills, coming to town only as they need supplies. The most wonderful atmosphere of the desert is graphically shown in the production of "The Highway of Hope." ,
An expedition from the National Geographic Society in 1916 found an Alaskan valley in which were 1,000 columns of steam more than 500 feet high. Several volcanoes and a great canyon rivalling that of the Colorado were found. Plants in the valley germinated after being buried three years in volcanic ash.
