Richmond 5 4 .555 Muncie 4 5 .444 Richmond polo players, fighting from start to finish in the Saturday evening's polo fracas, finally won the last of the eight game series with the Muncie polo players at the Coliseum fioor. Lee Taylor, in the secand and last period, playing an iron man's game, was the chief reason for the Quaker victory. The score ended 5 to 3 with Taylor credited with four of the five Richmond goals. Sox Qulgley and Lou Quigley played fast and materially aided Taylor. Sox decidedly had an off night and failed a number of times to receive passes, but played a strong offensive game. Thompson, Griffith and Jean played a fair offensive game but were unable t -v ktft-rn-& 11 t with th l1ov. i ers. Time and time again Jean and Griffith Individually carried tbe ball down for a drive, but Billy Blount bad no intention of letting any slip through, and not only played the goal but assisted in putting tbe ball in play near Pence when it came within a few feet of the Richmond goal. Barney Doherty, playing a much better game at half back, covered Blount so successfully that that nervy goal tender did not get his usual or stops, making only twenty seven during the forty-five minutes of play, while Pence made 39. L Quigley beat Fahrner to the ball six times while Fahrner got away with the rush five times. Muncie Takes Lead. The game started faster than any previous local exhibition of polo this year. After a little more than a minute and a half of play, L. Quigley lined the 6Dhere into the cage for the first goal. The next few min utes saw the Magic City poloists stage a rally that threatened the Quakers chances of winning the series. Fahrner and Harry Thompson, both playing a fast game this period, shoved the rubber through Blount twice, giving Muncie the lead. In the second period of play, Lou Quigley and Lee Taylor lead a sensational fight for victory which lasted the remainder of the game. The pace set by the two speedy players was too much for the others and the endurance and fight of Taylor added another goal to Richmond, which tied the score. In the last period, Taylor accepted the inevitable and played the remainder of the game like an iron man. There was no stopping him once he got stasjted with the ball. Even Jean, who played back for that reason, was unable to put a stop to Taylor's onslaughts on Pence. Taylor Breaks Up Plays. Thompson sent a pretty one in the goal in this period, again giving Muncie the lead, after both teams had fought hard to cage the pellet for "even minutes and fifteen seconds. Taylar then commenced his effective endurance grind with the Richmond players feeding him whenever the opportunity presented, but the most of the time Taylor stepped in and broke up the play of Magic City players, taking the ball down the floor in one-two-three order, scoring three goals. His last goal was made a few seconds before the game ended. The summary and lineups follow: Richmond Muncie First Rush U. Quigley Fahrner Second Rush Taylor ...

Pete Minner,' hurling for the Swayne-Roblnson nine, did not . give bia team much chance of what I it could do, but pitched himself into a j shut-out victory . over tbe Wawne I Workers. 6 to 0. Rua Hawekotte and ( Wib Sturm hurled a pitchers' duel in: the second of the double-header at j the Exhibition park, Ross' Seeders ' coming out ol the fray on top with a 4 to 3 score. On tbe play grounds, the j Johnson Frye I. G. C. pulled a slugfest on tbe Jenkins-Vulcans, taking in j the big end of a 10 to 3 score. Strikes Out 17 Men. Peter Minner struck out seventeen men in the Thresher-Wayne Works fiasco. Although the Wayne Workers could not get the slab to working, they played good bail and made up for it in the field. Ivan Toney. the Worker Southpaw, started the hurling, but was unable to shape a ball that the Swayne-Robinson crew could not hit. "Bulldog" Runnels relieved Toney and although he pitched better ball. Was wild at times, hitting four I men. Most or tne runs were piled up against Toney. The Threshers scored two In the first, one in the third and counted in the third and fourth frames. The Wayne Workers worked hard to put across one run (and succeeded in planting three hits I against Pete, while the other nine gained four against the two pitchers but were unable to get the verdict. Several times the Workers would get two men on bases, but Minner would pitch himself out of the Dole. Second Is Best Game. The second game of the double header at the Exhibition park was the best of the two. It was a duel between Wlb Sturm, pitching for the Starrs, and Rua Hawekotte lor the American Seeders. The Starr slabmen started the first round off well connected with the pill and getting safe on errors of the Seeders. The Starrs registered three runs the first inning. For three innings Wib Sturm held the Seeders scoreless, despite all their rooters could do to blow him up. But in the fourth inn-.ng the break came. With Ernie Bosworth coaxing his men to steal bases, and the A. S. M. rooters working on Sturm, he allowed the Seeders to take two runs across the pan and two more in the sixth. One of the latter, however, was due to Witte, the Starr catcher. As Sturm's hurling got weaker, Rus Hawekotte hurled better ball and by the last inning was pitching in good form. Both pitchers whiffed eight men, Sturm, despite his one bad inning, had a little the better end of the game. Four hits were made off if him while six were connected on Hawekotte's Twirling. With the Johnson-Fry, I. G. C. ball club staging a shut-out on the JenklnsVulcans, the Jay Vees staged a rally, when a hit, though short, netted three runs in the last inning of the game. The game was one-sided from start to finish, except for the final spurt of j the Jay Vees. j O. E. Dickinson has offered a gold watch to the man who is considered j the most valuable to his team by the j close of the season.

Joe Bulla was not up to form and his team mates had to do all tbe scoring. Geyer opened the fiasco for the Greeks, slamming a difficult one into the meshes. Both teams settled down . to close defensive work and played a close game. In the second period Hawekotte was caught off guard once and allowed an easy one to slip through, which the Millers followed up with enough to give them a four to one count. In the last part of the game, Geyer again lined one into the cage, giving the score a more even look at tne ena or me seconu period. - In the final go. Minor and Reid slipped two goals in that brought the Millers far ahead of the Greeks, but a rally staged by Guyer and Bradfield and aided with an accidental which Brunton kicked into his own goal, the Greeks were able to bring the score to close decision. The last few minutes of play the Greeks fought hard to tie the score and force overtime play, but were unable to do so.

Scorer Byer, BRANCH RICKEY TO COME TO RICHMOND WITH THE CARDINALS Branch Rickey, president and general manager ol the St. Louis Cardinals, will be among those present when the Cardinals meet the Pittsburg Pirates in baseball game at Richmond Wednesday. Rickey is one of the most prominent individuals in baseball today. He has been through virtually every position in connection with professional baseball. He was a star catcher when attending Ohio Wesleyan university. Later he served as coach of the University of Michigan baseball team and developed such famous stars as George Harold Sisler. now the first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, and Dr. John L. La van, shortstop of the Washington Americans. Rickey went into professional baseball as a catcher in the Texas league. Later he was obtained by the St. Louis Browns and was traded to the New York Americans. After he had stopped playing baseball, Rickey rejoined the St. Louis Americans as a scout and procured many players who later developed into stars for that organization. He also served as secretary, vicepresident of the Browns. When the Cardinal club was purchased by a syndicate of St. Louisans in 1917, Rickey Ohio Electric Railway 1 "THE WAY TO OO' Change of Time Effective SUNDAY, APRIL 27TH Limited East Leave Daily 8:05, 10:05 a. m. 12:05, 2:05, 4:05 p. m.
