Great Lakes Team Wins Navy Ball Championship CHICAGO, Aug. 6 The Great Lakes naval training station team won the naval baseball championship Monday, defeating a team representing the Atlantic Fleet in the third game of the serieB at the National League Park, 11 to 6. Despite the blistering heat a fair-sized crowd witnessed the contest. The proceeds will be devoted to the Naval Relief Society, an organization formed by the late Admiral George Dewey.
DISHING UP SPORTS
New York sporting men who were attending the races at New Orleans a year ago last winter obtained a true line on the gameness of Fred Fulton, and for that reason many of them backed Dempsey at Harrison recently. Fulton boxed twenty rounds in New Orleans with Porky Flynn, a played out heavyweight. Flynn, a good boxer, not only out-pointed Fulton in a majority of the rounds, but also made him wince with blows in the stomach. The fact that Fulton was unable to put Flynn down at any stage of the proceedings satisfied the New Yorkers that he was little more than a second rater. Fulton received the verdict of the referee, who was roundly censured for alleged unfairness. Flynn escaped without a scratch.

As the curtain is about to descend on big league baseball for this season and for perhaps the duration of the war we glance again at the American league batting averages and, yep He's still there, king again. We refer to Tyrus Raymond Cobb. He is batting around .3S5, about forty points ahead of Burns of the Mackmen, Speaker, SIsler, Baker, and all those other bat breakers. They can't catch him before the show is over if he bats the size of his hat. Six weeks ago Ty was batting to keep his place above the .300 mark, and the fans were debating whether the honor would go to George Sisler, Babe Ruth or some less notable sticker. Then Tyrus began to hit. He can take a slump and still have enough to win the batting championship by a good margin. Ty has the habit of finishing strongly, and it will not be surprising if he climbs above the .400 mark before the season ends. He has been hitting well above that mark since he began his spurt some weeks ago. The Pirates of today are reminiscent of the Pirates of old on the score card as the names of Tommy Leach and Babe Adams appear thereon.- Both of the fambench. "There will be enough players outside of the draft age limits to carry on baseball next year," says William J. Clymer, noted minor league manager now with the Giants, "but it may be necessary to change the major leagues because of the excessive railroad and Pullman rates. It might be a good plan to group the best cities in the eastern and western circuits. In the east, for instance, you could have Boston, Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Toronto and Buffalo. A good league in the west would be formed to include Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland. Cincinnati, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Louisville and Indianapolis. The railroad jumps in both leagues would be comparatively short and the players' salaries could be greatly reruced. A world's series in the fall between the pennant winners might be a big event. The plan is worthy of consideration by the big league moguls.

URGES INVESTMENT IN KILO COMPANY
Carl W. Ullman, secretary of the j Commercial club, made the following j statement Tuesday, concerning the j sale of stock for the Kilo Meter com-1 pany: "These are busy times and it is j hardily fair to ask a few men to do all the work in bringing this new In- i dustry to Richmond. It seems to me I that if we really want industrial dev.el- j opment, those who are able to buy one j or more shares should put their shoul
ders to the wheel. If we do not want this concern let's take down the signs that says Richmond wants industries, and put up a barbed wire fence with notices to keep of the grass. "I happen to know that thousands of dollars are being invested in outside securities, other than government securities. Those are being made because of management. The Kilo plant promises to have the very best management, inasmuch as one of Richmond's leading manufacturers has agreed to give it' his personal attention. "I want to remind everyone that this is an essential industry and again that there is a great demand for meters. "It seems that the small investor, as well as the large investor should want to come in on this from an investment standpoint." The Kilo solicitors will make a report at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday noon.
DENTISTS IN SESSION.

MURRETTE Metro used the beautiful estate of Clifford B. Harmon, near Croton, N. Y., for the staging of exterior scenes in "Social Quicksands," starring Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, which will be the feature of the program at the Murrette theater Tuesday only. Six hundred acres were at the disposal of the Metro picture-makers and practically every rural location needed for this play was within range. The country theater, which is built of field stone, was used as the exterior of a hunting lodge, in which thrilling scenes of this photoplay occur. For boating scenes, there was the winding stream, which is one of the natural features of this estate. Scenes were staged which show Mr. Bushman as an angler, casting for trout. As to his luck, as a fisherman, you must see the picture for the true facts in the. matter. WASHINGTON The old saying that "Rats desert a sinking ship," applies figuratively and almost literally to "Rimrock Jones," newest Paramount production, now playing at the Washington theatre. Having discovered a large vein of copper and founded a town about it, the hero finds himself penniless by a trick of the law, which one of his enemies turns on him. Wallace Reid is particularly well chosen as the hero if this production being an ideal Western type The cast surrounding Mr. Reid includes Ann Little, Charles Ogle, Guy Oliver, Ernest Joy, besides other wellknown players and was directed by Donald Crisp. J. Warren Kerrigan's Paralta play, "One Dollar Bid," which comes to the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday, has a dominant note of mystery throughout the entire unfolding of the story, not a morbid mystery of plotj but a continual question about the leading character which lasts unanswered until the end who is this

"Toby"? From whence does he come? And why is he here? The mystery of "Toby's" life and character is a background giving strong, dramatic suspense to the whole fabric of the story, and these three questions are ever in the consciousness while the stirring external plot coonshiners, smallpox, suspected murder, two court trials, and all manner of exciting events happen in the foreground. This mystery is behind the charming atmosphere of the life of Kentucky, in that picturesqueness section which marks the intermingling of the southern aristocrat with the mountaineer, and the rugged feet of the Cumberlands with the, valley bluegrass. In the role of "Toby," J. Warren Kerrigan gives the most graphic screen portrayal of his entire career, always
pleasing, even as a derelict, he mounts
to the pinacle of dramatic expression and his interpretation of this exacting role promises to be long remembered as his supreme triumph of the screen.

MURRAY. In "The Hired Man," Charles Ray, the pouthful Paramount actor who has come to be recognized as the typical American boy as Mary Pickford typifies American girlhcod, plays a new and somewhat different sort of role from anything he has yet atttempted. This is a farm hand on a large New England farm, who is sincerely and deeply in love with the pretty daughter of his "boss." The sacrifices that he is called upon to make for her are many, and he cheerfully gives up every thought of himself for her sake. Gilbert Gordon plays the farmer's dissipated son, who works in the local small town bank, and to keep up with his spendthrift companions embezzles the bank's money. Knowing Ray's affection for his sister and that their father disapproves, this son comes to Ray, as Ezry, and demands the money to repay. Ezry has saved, after years
of hard work, about enough money to i fulfill the obligation .and he cheer-j fully gives it up, returning to the farm j and the daily hard grind without a i
word of explanation. Ruth and her father do not understand this, and regard him rather suspiciously. The fire, started by Ruth's brother's carelessness, breaks out, and it is there that "the hired man" justifies himself in the eyes of the girl he loves and her father. A touching scene occurs when he comes back to consiousuess after the fire to find Ruth bending over him, while her father vociferously announces to the assembled neighbors that "there's my future son-in-law the finest chap yet," after his strenuous abuse of former days. To be shown at the Murray Wednesday and Thursday.
