STAR PLAYERS ON LINEUP FOR BIG GAME HERE Contract Closed for St. LouisPittsburg Exhibition Baseball Game on May 7. Richmond baseball fandom will have a chance to ee a real exhibition of baseball Wednesday, May 7, when the Pittsburg riratea and St. Louis Cardinals meet at Exhibition park. L. H. Conetans, secretary of the Pittsburg club closed the contract by letter to E. E. Eggemeyer, assuring him that the two teams would be here for the game. On May 6, the St. Louis Nationals and Pittsburg club play a regular league game at St. Louis and then start for Pittsburg together, where they are scheduled to open up on the Pittsburg grounds, Thursday, May 8. As the two teams could not make Pittsburg in one Jump, Secretary Conetans sought to play a game at some city en route, on Wednesday afternoon. Richmond was considered one of the best cities along the route

which the two teams will pass, so local fans will be given the opportunity to witness a big league game after the regular baseball season swings Into action. This Is something new, for although big league teams have played here on numerous occasions, it was either bofore or after season when they did not carry their entire personnels. Big Players In Lineup. When the two teams clash here It stands without reason that a number of their real mainstay players will be included In the lineup. Last season Pittsburg developed some wonderful players. From an unknown youngster on a Class A club to a sensational batting champion of the National league, all

In one season, is the brief history cf

Hilly Southworth, star side partner of Max Carey in the outfield of the Pirates lineup that will meet the St. Louis Nationals here. While dopsters seem disposed to place the batting championship crown on the head of Zack Wheat of Brooklyn, yet the figures show Southworth's. batting average the highest in the National league. Actual records show that Southworth batted .341 In 64 games as against .335 In 105 games for Wheat. Who is 8outhworth? Southworth is a youngster who has not seen his twenty-sixth birthday and who has worked his way up from the lots through minor ball to tiie National league hall of fame. Played In Ohio League. He began to play at his home town, Columbus, O., some eight years ago, and landed his first professional enfragempnt with the Portsmouth club In the Ohio state league in 1912. The Cleveland Americans picked him up la the spring of 1913 and sent him to Toledo the balance of the season and in 1914. . . . The Cleveland Americans took him

on in the spring of 1915 and later turned him over to the Cleveland American Association, which was the old Toledo club transferred to Cleveland temporarily. The close of the season found Southward with tho Portland club in the Pacific Coast league whero he continued to play during 1916. The Birmingham club secured him in 1917 where he starred as one of the leading outfielders until he broke his collar bone. He started the 1918 season sensationally with the result that the Pittsburg club purchased him in June 1918. From the very start on the Pirate lineup he was a howling success, making four hits In the first game and never letting up until he closed the season at the top of the batting honor roll of the National league. All pitchers look alike to him and for this reason Manager Bezdek batted him in the clean-up position, quite a distinction for a youngster in the first year of his career in the majors. He is considered one of the chief assets to the Pittsburg club, being an all around baseball man. Had he been in the club the entire season it is believed that he would have been fimong the leading ten base stealers of the national league. Star Pitchers Coming. Who Manager Hugo Bezdek will pitch In the exhibition game It is impossible to guess. But which ever of his staff it may be there need be no doubt that the local fans will have a chance to cast their eyes upon some of the classiest big league pitching they ever witnessed as Bezdek has some stars in his line-up. Wilbur Cooper. Earl Hamilton. ErsUne. Mayer. Frank Miller, Babe Adams and Bill Evans are names to conjure by. as several of this staff

made league records last year. Earl Hamilton won the first six games pitched last year when he entered the army. Bezdek covered up the holes made by the army and finished in fourth place. Cooper proved the dean of the Pirate twirlers last year and won the approval of fandom as the equal in ability to Jim Vaughn, big southpaw of Chicago Cubs. Cooper came to th9 Pirates while still a mere boy and donned the Buccaneer outfit when 19 years of ase. Cooper broke into the baseball world with the Marlon. O., team, a club of the Ohio state league after aton the high school team. Bob Quinn, trading attention through his pitching manager of the Columbus, O.. Association secured his services and in the fall of 1911 Cooper showed so much promise that President Preyfuss of

the Pittsburg club annexed him and be has stuck ever since. George Cutshaw, the former Brooklyn star is the keystone man of the infield with either Fred Mollwltz or Vic Saier, the ex-Chicago flrst-sacker, at the initial corner, and Buster Caton or Zeb Terry at short. Barbare or Bleckel will take care of the hot corner. As to the outfield the appearance of Max Carey, who has led the league in base stealing, speaks for itself.

When tho Pittsburg club takes the field here against the St Louis Nationals, fans can expect to see one of the best games of ball ever played on a local park. Scribes all over the country are touting Pittsburg, New York and Chicago to battle for the honors this year. This Is not pure guess work, but made by careful study

land analysis of the playing clubs in

the National league. A glance at the Pittsburg roster is all that is necessary to decide that Pittsburg has a good chance to cop the bunting. In the backstopping department. Walter Schmidt proved to be second to none last year and Ed Sweeney the old New York American catching star, and Fred Blackwell and Cliff Lee to support the backstop staff of the Buccos ranks with the best in the league.

LOCAL VGLLEYBALLERS CHARGE BAD DEAL

Although the Richmond Y. M. C. A. volley-ball team won the district tourney at Anderson, and had dreams of annexing tho state tourney, the team will be unable to go as the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. director refused to stage the tourney on any other date but Saturday, April 19. Physical Director K. W. Harding of the Richmond Y. M. C. A, protested the date set for the state volley-ball tourney as soon as Richmond won the district meet, but the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. director proceeded with the plans, notifying Kokomo, the runner-up in the district meet, that it would play in the state meet as Richmond would be unable to come. Harding will challenge the winner of the state tourney as soon as the

tourney is played. Richmond volleyball enthusiasts feel that the Indianapolis tourney holders did not give the Richmond business men a fair show by staging the game on Saturday, when business men are busy. Teams that will participate in the tourney are Evansville, representing the southern district; kokomo representing the eastern; Indianapolis, the central district, and South Bend, the northern district. Each team will play a series of three games of fifteen points and the team winning the larg

est number of games will be declared the winner of tho state honors. The manner in which Richmond walked through the contestants at the district tourney showed the Richmond business men to be the strongest in the state and followers of the game feel that had the tourney date been changed, Richmond stood an excellent show to win the state honors.

Fountain City to Play Webster Nine Thursday The Fountain City high school baseball nine and the Webster team have scheduled a game for next Thursday at Webster, according to an announcement made Friday.

Only ten men at present will be included in the team that will make the Journey. Another crimp was made in Richmond's chances to place In the meet when its only pole vaulter on the team was reported unable to make the trip.
