If dope buckets count, a certain team jorthwest of Richmond should be In the first division of the American league. But dope buckets do not count, and there is no combination in the Central league, nor is there an independent team, that could beat the brand of pitching served out by "Rose-top" Ainsworth, which shut out Fielder Jones' Browns. 2 to 0 In nine innings. For the second time this season Red has pitched that same brand of baseball, once against Fort Wayne, and on both occasions, the boys in the field ceemed to catch the spirit and not only held him up in the field, but knocked aver a couple or seven runs to make it Interesting. Quakers Play Good. St. Louis does not claim to be the home of the fastest team in the Amer ican league, nor does it claim to own one of the fast, but nevertheless, the Browns are in the American league. and must have some ability, or they would not be there, while the Quakers ramble about the bushes. But the Quakers did not play a la bush in that game yesterday. Grand Rapids went into ten innings and gathered one run to defeat the Browns, but the Quakers gathered two, one of which came early in the game, and Gilbert's boys quit at the end of the first half of the ninth. The entire game was a good exhibiton of baseball from the stands, aside from the fast that Richmond won. Gecrge Sisler, the marvel of the club, came In for his share of the glory, and was the center of attraction for a number of fans. Sisler played a great game on the opening corner, and his triple to the center field fence in the ninth inning was "some drive" as was Mauser's play when the ball came in. Jacobson Doss Good Work. Jacobson, the big rightfielder of the nalor league club also showed well nd his double in the fourth looked .ike nothing more than a single for anv of the less speedy runners. The Quakers' first run came in the thrvd Inning. Rapp got to first through a tap on the "crazy bone" and was sent down by Evers second hit. Wright threw the ball into center field In an effort to catch Rapp off second ind Goldie went to third, scoring a moment later on Reilley's infield out. Schick got a sratch single in the seventh. He stole second r.nd scored on Ainsworth's single to left, making Lhe second and last run of the game. SPRINGFIELD plays HERE SATURDAY and SUNDAY. In the Majors t National League. At Philadelphia R.

The line-up of the team includes some of the most famous men in baseball, with Fred Mitchell as their manager. Among the famous players that will probably come to Richmond with the club are Larry Doyle, Merkle, Hendrix, Elliott Vaughn, Archer and Mann. Two members of the Quaker club are property of the Cubs, and one has already been recalled. Pitcher Stolz, southpaw, and Schick,, outfielder, both came here from Chicago, and 0 A M" awK CI 7 jf"- j?4

EARLHAM FOOTBALL SQUAD STARTS WORK IN WEEK OF SEPT. 17
Earlham college will not be behind other colleges in . the state next fall when it comes to football teams. Although the college has suffered the loss of players through graduation and enlistment in the army, Coach Lewis is confident that he will be able to pick a team that can hold its own against the other schools in the I. C. A. L. Many of the players on the s(iuad this fall will be recruited from the Freshman class. This means a late etart. It is probable that the schedule will not begin until late In the season. Three underclassmen will try for the team. Tobe Jessup, last year's high school basketball star, will go out for ! football. Tobe has the speed and weight to make a valuable player. Cy Pitts, of last year's team and Bob Johnson are the other men that will be back on the squad. The school term opens on Sept 24, The football squad will meet one week earlier. From Base to Base Lafayette's performance on the first corner is making many fans sit up and take notice. The marquis belongs to Cincinnati, and there may come a time when Hal Chase will be unable to play. Red Ainsworth allows few hits, but when a batsman does connect with one of his shots, it goes far into the outfield and unusually for extra sack. One clean single, one scratch single, two doubles and a triple make up the hitting efforts of the Browns Thursday. Joe Evers performed in great style for the benefit of the Brown, Joe Schick has been recalled to the Cubs and will join the team at the close of the Central season. Jus!
