Manager Clem Garr, who Is bringing eastern players to Richmond, announced that Bob Griffith, who played half-back for Richmond a few years ago, was scheduled to play with Muncie, according to Manager Campbell. He will make an attempt to bring Griffith to Richmond though, as Richmond fans feel that Bob rightfully belongs here. At present, "Doc" Harrold Is expected to play center here against Griffith on the Muncie team. Harrold has been going Etrong in the east, as have the other players who will play on the two teams. Players Among Best At the beginning of the season the Lawrence team from which the majority of the Richmond players will be drawn, had a set-back, but the whirlwind fashion in which the team

has been heading toward the top of the club averages for the last few! weeks, has placed the players on that! team among the best in the east. From this team Richmond will get Sox Qulgley, who Joined that team late in ' ' the season, "Doc" Hsrrold, its regu-j lar center, Hardy, half-back, an eastern player who played here a few i years ago. and Blount, goal tended, I another player who put in a season j in the Western league. The other! member of the team will be Taylor, j who will play first rush. Taylor start-: ed in amateur polo at Anderson a few

yearj ago and landed a Job on the Worcester team last season. He made 158 rushes during his career this year . at first rush. Men Are Strangers Muncie,, although having more players from the top-notch leagues, will be handicapped because its men have not played together. The Muncie lineup will be: Farhner of the Lawrence team, first rush: Harry Thompson, of the Providence team, second rush; Bob Griffith, of the Ijwell ' team, center; Jean, half-back, Salem.

"NUNNY" UNLUCKIEST MAN IN BASEBALL

Leslie Nunamaker, showing how his eyes escaped in-jury from glass. Leslie Nunamaker, star backstop obtained by the Indians from the Browns this spring, is called the unluckiest man in baseball. He was injured twice last winter, the second time narrowly escaping death in a taxi accident. Flying glass nearly cut his eyes. ,

S RANDOM PORT NOT The executive committee of the United States Golf association has accepted an invitation for an international team match with Canada. W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg, has been appointed captain. There will be ten men on a side, and if Fownes sets out to comb the country for the best available material he will surely be able to muster a combination of champions that would make any aggregation the world over take notice. Here are a few possible selections: Charles Evans, Jr., Francis Ouimet, Jerome Travers, Oswald Kirkby, Robert Gardiner, Bobby Jones, Max Marston, D. E. Sawyer, Jesse Guilford, Gardiner W. White, and John Anderson. Twenty-two years ago the first international team match between amateurs from this country and Canada was brought off, three meetings being held in all. It is, therefore, after nineteen years that the international phase is to be revived. The American teams won all three competitions in 1898 at Toronto, winning by twenty holes; in 1899 at Morris County, lead-i ing by ninety-three holes, and in 1'dOu at Quebec, by five holes. The challenge was sent to the U. S. G. A. following a meeting of the Royal Canadian Golf association, the suggestion being made that the matches be held the two days following the professional open championship at Hamilton, some time in August. It is possible that a few of the players making up the American team would go to Canada in time to compete in the open. George O'Niell, the loquacious backstop who went to the Giants a year ago, was farmed out last season and will spend the coming season under Arthur Irwin at Rochester, has lost none of the "pep" which caused him to stand out rather prominently in a batch of colorless youngsters last spring at Marlin. He still has more hustle in his makeup than the average recruit, and he can still talk faster than any two of his fellow rookies. However, conversation is not George's only long suit. He is, for a kid, a mighty good catcher, as records of his past performance show. Last season, for instance, O'Niell was behind the bat in 102 games forty-four In the Southern Association and fifty-eight in the International league. He is a fair hitter as catchers go, averaging proably .250 with the stick over ahe short stretch of years in which he has played professional ball. He is a plucky, ambitious kid who dreams of one day wearing a Giant uniform,-and he is pursuing the most logical plan to make his dream come true; he is working his head off every time he dona a uniform and steps out on the field. O'Neill, like Walter Holke, Ollie O'Mara, Bobby Burns and countless others who have reached the major leagues, Is a product of the sand lots of St, Louis. Indiana Athlete Heads Basket Team at Miami U. OXFORD, O., April 12. An Indiana boy, Harry K. Moore, of Edinburg, was yesterday chosen captain of the Miami university basketball team for the coming year. Moore played forward and center on this year's team, and made a fine record.

IT! INDIANA GOLF MEET WEEK 0FJJLY 7-12 INDIANAPOLIS, April 12. At a meeting of the Board of Directors at Indianapolis it was decided definitely to hold the state tourney over the nine-hole course of the Lafayette Country club the week of July 7 and 12. The men present at the meeting thought a record entry list would be filed this year, making the tourney one of the biggest in the history of the sport. By common consent. E. C. Heddon was made starter. The remainder of the plans were turned over to the program committee with a few recommendations. It was recommended that there be two days for qualifying at thirty-six holes which will insure 11 entrants at least two days play. It was suggested that the first round of play be eighteen holes and the following day thirty-six. The question of giving the women a tourney this year, the board decided should be left to the women golfers of the state. After the business of the meeting was over a short talk was made on the course over which the tourney will be held. Many natural hazards and traps will be found on the course. Thtraps and the hazards are of a naturr that will baffle the good as well as the fair golfers. Several ravines cross the course and trees are plentiful. There is a small creek to play on three holes. Good Evening! By ROY K. MOULTON According to report, a street car conductor has been discharged for conduct ' unbecoming a street car conductor. It is not stated just what the man'did, but if it was conduct unbecoming a street car conductor, it must have been pretty serious. There is going to be an international convention of jazz poets and composers in Chicago. All we can say is that we are glad it is going to be held In Chicago, and we believe Chicago deserves it. FLEETING FAME. Laid back at ease upon a cushioned chair, A-slde her desk, with stacks of paper there, Her pen safe perched upon her hairhid ear, 'Tis then Friend Wife's most brilliant thought appears, Each seemingly some fair reality, Her raptured and admiring eyes before. She views her thought come crowding more and more; Till seized with an aspiring vanity. With frenzy bordering on insanity, ' Panting for fame and immortality. She clutches in her tightened grasp the quillBut ah, alas! as her so eager pen Touches the waiting sheet before her spread ... No quicker does the fleeting lightning dread Flash through the boding sky to startle men Than all her brilliant thoughts do vanish then. L. V. C.

Hit TRAP, GUN AND ROD BY TOM MARSHALL. Have you spring fever? This is occasioned by the shooting microbes sailing under many brands and equipped with assorted sizes of stingers for insertion, injecting into the sportsman's system a virus, inoculating the victim with a shooting desire and outdoor spirit from which there is positively no recovery. When under the microbes' influence you may throw your gun into the discard, master your inclinations to go afield or shoot over the traps. You are experiencing temporary relief only. There remains that longing for the smell of gun powder and life afield. Tho mention of a gun creates an itching of the trigger finger, with an insane desire to recite to a listening friend your prowess at trap or in pursuit of game. , An ever to be remembered "long-shot" made or remarkable score put up by self or father. A wonderful gun, once an heir-loom in the family, whose killing radius was only limited by the scope of vi3ion of the operator, (Father) who also "Drove a flock of bees across the plains, in the middle of the winter, and never lost a bee." So species of mankind is immune from the sting of the sporting microbe except the "dude" who has no sphere in sport life. Our pioneer ancestors were devotees of the shooting art. Fire arms were then a necessity, a means of family protection and sustenance.

Shooting successes were scheduled on game, where it was a case of "gun' ning for meat." The bringing home of tho bacon or venison, was the slogan to eat. Modern field or shooting ethics were not closely observed. "Pot-shooting," which means the bagging of game, in uncertain numbers, without first showing birds the courtesy of putting them to flight. This Is a game getting policy, which eliminated the taking of long chances or escape of the quary.
