BROWNS BRING 22 MEN HERE FORJXHIBITION Full St. Louis Team to Give Richmond Taste of Major League Baseball. ,

For the first time In the history of Richmond, this city -will be visited by a complete major league baseball club, v hen Fielder Jones brings his St. St. Louis Browns here for an exhibition game at Quaker park next Thursday. St Louis is on Its way east. Twenty-two men will come. This is the first time that a major league team has brought so many men to Richmond, all other teams having brought only enough men to play the game, the others being left either at home, or given a vacation. Line-up Is Interesting. Although the Browns are now at the JlJStom of the American league, their .i-ne-up is one of the most interesting fin the entire circuit and they will give the Richmond fans a good opportunity to witness some real baseball. One of the big features of the exhibition is the appearance of Sisler, the now famous first baseman of the Browns, who is cne of the biggest young men In the majors today. , In addition to Sisler, all of the other tegular players, including Lavan, Severeid. Shotton, Jacobson and other well-known league stars. For the slab work in the exhibition, efforts are being made to obtain the services of Sothoron, but if this cannot be done, either Koob, Groom or one of the other regulars will d the hurling. Will Give Military Drill. Before the game is called, the Browns will give an exhibition of what Is being done in the big league camps In the line of military preparation this season. The team carries, as a part of its personnel, a regular army officer and it has perfected a military drill, which will be given at Exhibition park. Military drilling has been taken up by practically every major league team and the Browns have one of the best drills In the big circuits. Report of the advance sale of tickets has been very good, and It is expected that a record crowd will witness the contest. The game will be called at 3:80 o'clock sharp, and the military drill will beginne one hour farlier.

FROM BASE TO BASE

Frank Edington, Grand Rapids outfielder, broke a Central league record last Friday when he walked to first for the ninetieth time this reason. The highest number of walks for any other season was made In 1913 by Tom Mee of Grand Rapids, who walked to first 88 times. Edington has tried several times for that record and there was great rejoicing when he made it Joe Evers is back to his old tricks cn the paths again. Evers stole two more bases in the game at Muskegon yesterday, and Increased his record to fifty steals. 'Joe is after the league record and it looks as though the records is "took." Gilbert and his Quakers are out on a little barnstorming tour today. The club left at noon for Newcastle where they play the Newcastle Maxwells as

a part of the program for the fair veek there. The Maxwells have one of the strongest independent organizations in the state and will give the Quakers a stiff argument Skip Crouch has made arrangements whereby he may be examined in Richmond for the draft instead of having to go to Dallas. The club directors arranged for Skip's examination here. The Quakers will play a double-header with Dayton either Wednesday or Friday to make room for the St Louis Browns' game on Thursday.

Chief Justice Orrln H. Carter, of the Illinois Supreme Court, chosen by Governor Lowden to control production and distribution of Illinois coal as a result of settlement with mine operators.

AINSWORTH TO PITCH AGAINST LEAGUERS

Announcement was made Tuesday morning that Red Ainsworth, who has been laid up for several days with ivy poison, probably will be used against Fielder Jones' men in the exhibition game here Thursday. Red is the one big bet of the Quaker slab force and will make a better game than any of the other pitchers who have been working regularly and will not be in as fresh condition as the "rosetop." Two games are scheduled for Wednesday against Dayton, the first being called at 2 o'clock. Gygll, who has been out of the game this week with pleurisy, will be back in the game Wednesday.

ILLINOIS COAL INQUIRY BEGUN

CHICAGO. Aug. 14. A complex labor situation and possible difficulties in obtaining co-operation in price cut- ' ting by retailers, confronted Chief Jusrice Orrin N. Carter of the supreme court, appointed coal director of Illirois last Saturday by Governor F. O. Lowden. when he began a survey today I rf the coal situation, preparatory to fixing the price at the mine mouth. "Under the terms of the contract entered into" said Judge Carter, "my business is to arrive at a fair price, for . coal at the mine. That is as far as ! my authority extends." Approximately 12,000 coal miners J are on strike in various mines in nil j nols and a conference of operators and representatives of the executive board of the miners union has been called to attmpt to compose their difference. Rpresentatlves of the coal mine i owners, miners' unions, and railroads, ' held a meeting today at which Judge Carter presided, for the purpose of agreeing upon details of methods to determine what constitutes a fair price for coal.

Automatic rifles as the small-arms equipment of their armies is said to be the next great step in military arms contemplated by the great powers.

SILVER RAISES 51 CENTS SINCE WAR

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. Because of the extreme rise in the price of silver, Director of the Mint Baker has authorized the mints at New Orleans and Carson City, Nevada, and the assay offices at New York City, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Helena, Boise City, Idaho, and Deadwood, S. D., to purchase gold bullion hereafter on a basis of fineness, disregarding the previous regulations under which bullion was purchased on the basis of the value of its silver content Bullion containing not less than one part of gold and not more than 800 parts base metals in a total of 1,000 parts may be purchased under the new regulation. Heretofore only bullion containing at least ten times in gold the value of the silver content has been purchased. The rise in the price of sliver from 51 cents to 82 7-8 cents per ounce since the war started has resulted in the rejection of a considerable quantity of ore containing gold because the value of the gold was not ten times as great as the value of the silver at its high market, price. .This situation will be corrected and the low grade gold bullion will be purchased under the new regulations. The old regulations had been In effect more than forty-four years.
