By DON WARFEL Ainsworth was on the mound la the opener with Hamilton's Muskegs at Exhibition park Friday afternoon, and everyone but Red crossed the pan with a run, making the total score 8 to 5 for Richmond. And all this happened In two big rounds. In the very first inning, after the Muskies had been extinguished with a mtle difficulty, the head of the Quaker batting list crossed the pan with four runs, the timely hitting of the entire club being responsible for this. Four More Cross. In the eighth round, the bottom half cf the Quaker batting list had the party and with two passes, three crrcrs and three hits, one a double,

four more runners trotted across the

platter. Red Ainsworth pitched a fairly good game, but when the Muskegs sot in connection with the ball, it went Tar and wide, which accounts for a total cf 18 ba&C'S in nine hits. The Muskep s were also recipients of several runs through Quaker boots. In tha fourth round with one down. Red Ainsworth had an easy chance to retire the side on a double play, but he threw the ball wild, and it went to the bleachers, while two runners romped home. Again in the fifth, Aaron. knocked a long drive to the edge of the left field iitch and Donica muffed it, allowing the ball to go into the ditch for three bases, while Kirby crossed the platter. The other two Muskegon runs were unquestionably earned. One was made in the second, when Brubaker knocked the ball to the center field fence for the circuit, and the other was slammed over the score board by Kirby for four tacks in the seventh. Kirby's run put a damper on the fanss. who had been looking forward to an overtime game, after the Muskegs had tied the score, but all hands were satisfied in the eighth when the Muskegs broke a G-string .and with Boss Hamilton leading the wrecking crew with two errors, the entire machine blew and Richmond's victory was won. The Muskegs tried hard to come back in the ninth and with two down. Roth went in for Kahler. Red showed his contempt for this kind of tactics by fanning the mighty Roth.

Hurt in Bicycle Race

EOBSV WAL-TMOOa Bobby Walthour, the American bicycle rider, who was badly hurt in a recent bicycle race in Paris. He fell from his cycle and fractured hi3 skull and was removed to a hospital in a serious condition. Walthour hails from Atlanta, Ga. For many years he has been prominent as a professional bicycle rider both in the United States and Europe.

FROM BASE TO BASE

Somebody mentioned the other day that Mike Hauser, the Quaker catcher, would be a good man to manage a ball club. Hauser would make a mighty good manager and should be able to keep any club going. H is well liked by both players and fans and Is one of the most dependable men In the entire league. Now that the Dayton club is broken up by injuries and the franchise has been turned over to the league, it is doubtful just what will be done with Dayton's games for the rest of the season.

Richmond's Soldiers In Every Branch of Uncle Sam's Armies

Richmond's soldiers are to be found in every branch of Uncle Sara's growing military establishment. While Richmond did not organize a national guard company like some cities of the state did, it is doubtful if the other cities of the state have had as many enlistments in the different branches of the service as Richmond has had, in proportion to the size of the cities. Richmond's soldiers are scattered in camps and forts throughout the country. While there was no national guard company sent from here each

of the soldiers attests the patriotism of Richmond.

Just as the spoken words had no part in the vision, yet the whole was into it. There was no connecting link between each scene; each dissolved into the other, and all were one. She faded into mist, in a swirl of graceful drapery, and he frowned again. A long line of men-at-arms stood before him, grim as he and as discontented. They leaned on spears, at ease, and that seemed to annoy him most -of all. A spokesman stood out from the ranks and addressed him, with gesticulations and a head so far thrown back that hi3 helmet plume stood out like a secretary's pen behind him. He was. not a Roman, although there was something Roman about his attitude and armor. None cf the merl-at-arms was a Roman. They demanded to be led home, wherever home was. (It was as plain as if there spokesman had shouted it into King's ear aloud.) And he refused them bluntly, proudly. Two men brought him a native woman, each holding an arm and thrusting her forward between them. She was not at all unlike a native woman of today, either in dress or sullenness; she had the beak and the keen eyes and the cruel lips of the "Hills." They showed her to him, and it was quite clear that they compared her to their own women, left behind; the comparison was plainly to her disadvantage. He wasted no argument on them, but his scorn made the two men fade away, and the woman with them. Yet he had no scorn for his lined-up fighting men, and so could act none. He ordered the spokesman back to the ranks, and the man obeyed. He gave another order, and the long line stood at attention, spears straight up and down, and their round shields like great medallions on a wall. He ordered them away, but they stood still. Then he did a truly Roman thing. He got his harness off unbuckled and took off the great bronze corselet, in which he lay dead In another cave. He threw it down tore open the white shirt underneath and held his arms out. He bade them come and kill him. He bade them drive their spears into his unprotected breast. There was not a movement down the line of men. They stood as a cliff looks at the tide. He dared them He called them cowards women weaklings, afraid of blood. But they stood still. He strode up and down the line, seeking a man with heart enough to plunge a spear into him, and no man moved. Then he stood still before them all again and wept, because they loved him and he loved them. And then she came, not dancing this time, but barefooted and walking like a poem of the early days of Greece. She picked up his corselet and buckled it on him, making him hold up his arms and kneel while she slipped it over his head. And the grim men-at-arms hove their long spears up In the air and roared her an ovation, bringing down their right feet with a thunder all together. "Ave!" But the mist closed up and then the crystal was clear again. It was Yaslmini's voice that spoke. King looked up into her eyes, and they made him shudder, for he had never seen eyes like them. Her hands still clasped his own, burning hot. She was more terrible than Khinjan. "I never saw that before," she said. ' It is because you are here! We shall see it now! We shall know it all! We shall know whether it was she who killed him, or whether his own men took him at his word. We shall know! Look again! Look again! His eyes seemed unable to obey his own will any longer. They obeyed her voice. He gazed irto the crystal, and it clouded over. But although he obeyed her, the crystal obeyed him and answered at least in part the questions his imagination asked. He was not conscious of asking anything,

but being a 6oldier his curiosity followed a more or less definite line. Yasmini's breath began to come and go again with the little hissing sound. Her hot hands pressed his own. The mist suddenly dissolved. There was a road a long white road, across a plain, and the men-at-arms fought their way along it. They were facing east. Archers opposed them archers on foot, and cavalry arthians. The Parthians were wild, but the drill of the men-at-arms was a thing to marvel at When the flights of arrows came they knelt behind their shields. When the horsemen charged they closed in solid phalanx, and the inner ranks hurled Javelins at ten yard range, When the fury of the onslaught died they formed in column and went forward, gaining

furlongs at a time while the enemy j

MINERS' UNION IS RECOGNIZED

KNOXVILLE. Tenn., Aug. 25. Conferences here between representatives of District No. 19. United Mine Workers of America, and more than sixty coal operators of the Kentucky-Tennessee fields have resulted in the signing cf agreements recognizing the miners' union and granting the 8-hour workday, instead of nine, and the decision to postpone any efforts for the present to adjust a new wage scale. Another conference will be held rot later than SepL 15. Both sides agreed that to sign a wage scale at this time, with the members of the Southern Appalachian Coal Operators Association not represented would be unfair to the miners and to the operators concerned. The mine owners signing the agreement with the union are employers of more than 4,000 men who will return to work at once.
