N. C. R. Pin Artists Trim Richmond Five in Challenge Match
In spite of the fact that the Richmond pin knockers took two of three games from the National Cash Register five, of Dayton, the Dayton bowlers had 40 more pins for their total and took the three game match series on the Twlgg alleys Friday night. Two Richmond bowlers fell below their standard for the season and had Llchtenfels and Meyers rolled to their average the result would have been different.

that two leagues may be formed again
In case such a merger Is made, the franchises of Fort Wayne, South Bend and Dayton will be turned over to Peoria, Bloomington and Davenport, of the Three-I and Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Richmond, Evanevtlle and Springfield of the Central circuit will fill out the circuit. Although this change in the circuit will mean a heavy added expense for transportation, all three teams of the ' Three-I circuit are good baseball towns and will easily be able to meet the increased expense. New Teams Are Strong. That the towns to be included in the proposed circuit will be able to meet the added burden of expense is shown by the fact that Peoria had a total attendance In the six weeks the
team was in the circuit last year of 39,000 while the total attendance here was only 35,000 and the other 'teams in the circuit of the Three-I league had totals that reached well above the 30,000 mark for the half-season the league was in force. There is still some talk, however of - abandoning the league for next season and the final decision on the matter will be reached at a meeting of the league directors to be held in Louisville, Ky.. on November 6. If, at that meeting, a decision to continue the league is reached, the Richmond club directors will begin work on the team for next season and will have a first class team in condition for the opening game. Already he club has had offers from seven high class men for the management of the team, including Rollle Zeider, of the Chicago Cubs. Army Wit!

The Germans are reported to be damning the canal two miles above Nieuport. Their purpose would be to flood the entire country before the Passchendaele Ridge. The arrows show how the water would be backed up before the British position, rend ering their further advance very difficult. Latest reports from Flanders indicate the Germans have little hope of retaining the small part of Passchendaele Ridge still in their hands. ,

Ouch ! ? ! ? 1 ! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain. He says freezone is a sticky substance which dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce, which will cost very little at any drug store, is said to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or. callus from one's feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels. (Adv.)
