Last Sunday the Richmond team . Journeyed to Milla Lake and came y home in defeat after the ball bounced ovpr the fence and lost the game for them. Liberty has lost but one game and after losing that one they turned around and won from the same team. The best teams they have defeated are the Hamilton Krebs, the Cincinnati Muldoons and the Middletown Greys.

4 JACK REENE What is probably the largest Individual order ever placed for sporting goods has just been put through by the National War Work Council of the V. M. C. A. for the American Expeditionary Force in France. It comes to more than half a million dollars and is designed to accommodate from one and one-half to two million of our boys "over there."

the Sunday before and after Labor

Day. Liberty has a fast lineup composed of Richmond, Cincinnati and Oxford players of some note. The Richmond boys who will play with Liberty are Herb and John Logan, Haas behind the bat and Minner in the pitcher's box. Several weeks ago Minner did the hurling for Liberty and let the Middletown Grays down without a hit. This Khowg the strength of the Liberty squad as all of the men played fine airtight ball to keep the game a nohitter. In one of the games of the double header Smith of Cincinnati will do the hurling for Liberty and he is supposed to be a fast player. Castleton will pitch the entire game for the Giants and this will be the first time he has pitched a whole game. On August 25 the deciding game of the S. A. L. season will be played and Brehm is trying to get the winner of the S. A. L. nepnant to play the Giants. The first game Sunday will be called at 2 o'clock.

Yesterday's Games

Experts have been busy scrutinizing the goods, cutting open baseballs, boxing gloves, masks, and so forth, to make sure that everything is of the first quality. This, in addition to the furnishing of a bond by the manugacturers for the faithful performance of their agreement and moreover that the goods be subject to further inspection at the factory.

The goods are intended for next i season's requirements, and to make assurance doubly sure that they arrive ! in France by early spring at the lat-J est. deliveries have to be made in !

New York by the manufacturers by December 1.

S. A. L, LEADERS TO PLAY LOW TEAMS

Next Saturday at Exhibition park in the S. A. L. the Natcos will play the Malleables and the Simplexers will play the Jenkins-Vulcan crew. These two games are, according to dope, a clinch for the Natco and Simplex teams but in the early part of the season the tail enders met the top notchers and the dope bucket was kicked over and the "higher ups" were sent to the showers. Last Saturday the Jenkins team had no trouble in running away with the Malleabues to the tune of 6-1. The Natcos lost to the Simplex team 3-2. Next Saturday if the Natcos and Simplexers both happen to win they will still be In a tie for first place but if one of them loses and the other wins, the winning team will have a great advantage in winninw the pennant as the two leading teams will only meet twice again this season. Last Saturday the S. A. L. took in $13.85 which as is the custom, was given to the Red Cross making a total of $243.83 which has been given to the Red Cross this season.

Tight, Ames, Fight" Heard on Battle Field

AMES, la., Aug. 15. "Fight! Ames, fight!" This battle cry of Iowa State (Ames) college, famed on the football field, has been sounded on the battlefields of France, heartening former Ames men in their grapple with the Hun. Word received here tells how that cry was carried "over the top" by for ty former Ames students serving with the 168th infantry, formerly the 3d Iowa guard regiment, in the Rainbow division.

DETROIT GETS MEET

CHICAGO, Aug. 15. The annual Central A. A. U. outdoor track and field championship contests were awarded to the Recreation Committee of Detroit Wednesday night, and will be held Sept. 14.

MURRAY Prunella, delightfully played by Marguerite Clarke, is a little girl brought up to think that life is nothing but a

story book. Three prim old maid i

i aunts see that nothing of the world j comes in through the quaint old gari den gate, but one day there is a fair j and the players, a jolly lot of people, ! pass the little house on the edge of

town. The aunts and Prunella are sitting in the garden. They are shocked beyond words and run into the house, but one aunt forgets the key and leaves Prunella to get it. She looks over the garden wall and the handsome Pierrot comes under the wall and well go and see what a delightful Pierrette Prunella becomes. WASHINGTON Each release of a Wm. S. Hart picture is an event of unusual importance in the motion picture world, so the announcement that the famous Thos. H. Ince star in the latest Artcraft offering, "Wolves of the Rail," will be at the Washington theater today, no doubt is welcome news to "Big Bill's" many local admirers. "Wolves of the Rail" introduces Hart in a new role, that of a protector of property, an upholder of law and order, and a guardian of government money. Throughout the story there

is a wealth of spirited action. A real railroad station was erected in the mountains for this picture, and many

I of the most exciting episodes occur ' in this locale. Hart has his usual

splendid supporting organization.

Alleged Shipbuilding Ball Players a Wallop

PHILADELPHIA,. Aug. 15 The employment of professional ball players in shipyards, "more for the purpose of bolstering up teams than to expedite the shipbuilding program," will no longer be countenanced by the Emergency Fleet Corporation. In an order issued Wednesday by the vice president, Howard Coonley, ball players are placed on the same footing as all other workmen, and yards that offer salaries to obtain their services will not be reimbursed by the corporation. Mr. Coonley declared that he favored sport, but that it should be conducted on a high piane in the present emergency and the professional athlete should be treated as are all other workers.
