MAJOR LEAGUE GAME THOUGHT TO BE ASSURED Final Negotiations Made for St. Louis-Pittsburg Game Tinker's Offer Declined. , Negotiation for. the St. LoulsPittsburg, National league game here, Wednesday, May 7. are expected to be completed this week. Besides this major league game, overtures by Joe Tinker have been made to Richmond to stage an exhibition game here, between the Detroit and Columbus American association teams, Monday, April 21. Tinker's offer was considered out of the question by the local exhibition company and flatly refused. He asked that the city taking this game would do all the advertising and be allowed only ten per cent of the receipts. Tinker said that he had another offer from a city which he failed to mention. Close' Deal This Week Eggemeyer wired L. C. Constana,

secretary of the Pittsburgh Athletic company, Sunday, an offer that he believes the Pittsburg club will accept In an earlier wire after the receipt of Constan's first letter the two clubs were made an offer, but Constans in a letter to Eggemeyer held for much more. The deal will be closed this week if possible. Constans in his letter said that b3 could guarantee that the two clubs would play the game, as they would have to leave St. Louis Tuesday evening. May 6, in order to reach Pittsburg in time to play May 8. He said it was for this reason that he was trying to book a game with St. Louis, enroute to Pittsburg. The Pittsburg club has an opportunity to play a game with a smaller club at a town enroute, but he would hold the Richmond offer open until April 15 unless he was further advised by the Richmond Exhibition company.

FORT WAYNE STILL HOPEFUL FOR OLD CENTRAL REVIVAL

Baseball men Interested In the formation of the new Three-I league made the wires hot Saturday, asking that Richmond and Fort Wayne consider entering the league. Two telegrams were received by Elmer Eggemeyer. president of the Richmond Exhibition company, asking that he advise A. R. Tearney, president of the Three-I league what Richmond's chances were for entering the Three-I league. Eggemeyer answered the wire in the negative as the directors of the company here had already expressed their sentiments to Three-I managers that they did not favor the league, because of the mileage. At the meeting Sunday, April 6, at the Palmer House, Chicago, managers of the six clubs forming the Three-I league empowered Tearney to make overtures to the two clubs in case he considered it advisable. Word had

lust reached Peoria that the old Cen-j

trai loop was now out or tne question

and that Richmond and Fort Wayne

would string along with the Three-I. WTiile the prospects for league base

ball are not rosy in Richmond or any of the four cities favoring the formation of the old Central league, Fort Wayne fans announce that an effort will be continued to organize the old Central league. Those in charge there etlll believe that a league can be organized and ready to play its first game not later than May 30, on Memorial day. The project of enlisting Lima, O., has been dropped. Springfield favors an eight-club circuit, which is impossible. Muncle is still considering the project leaving only Richmond, Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids and Muskegon lined up. It Is expected that definite announcement will be made at Fort Wayne in a few days concerning the forming of a Central league organization.

EARLHAM CONQUERED IN FIRST BALL GAME

Karlham's baseball season started Saturday afternoon at Dayton when the Quaker nine met and was defeated by the St. Mary's team at that place by a 6-to-l fcore. The Quaker baseball men were able to land six safe hits in the field but failed to bring in a marker until the seventh inning. St. Mary's made seven hits and committed two errors. Earl ham players uade three errors during the course of the game. The hurling dual was slightly in favor of tho Buckeye nine, Templin allowing several of his opponents to walk to the first sack which resulted In an occasional run. The St. Mary's learn made its first run in the first Inning and repeated in the second. In tho fourth a bad play by Osbourno at third resulted in four more markers being added to the Ohio team's score. Huff of Fountain City made his initial appearance on the Earlham team when he was substituted for Osbourno at third base. He played an exceptionally good game and Earlham followers are certain that he will retain a regular berth on the Quaker nine. Brown scored the only run for Earltiam. Earlham will play Franklin at

Franklin next Saturday. Some general shakeups are expected in the Earlham lineup by that time. The playing of some of the men who went to Dayton last Saturday were decidedly under standard and unless some changes are made Earlham fans are predicting a tad season. Coach Mowe will give special attention to the strengthening of the twirling staff this week.
