CAGE ELEVEN

RICHMOND HAS

NEW CHANCE. AT SEMI-PRO BALL Eggemeyer to Newcastle Tomorrow to Consider Northern Central Berth.

Richmond's semi-professional baBO- J tested game. In this game the two ball chance has come at last! 'teams worked hard for the edge on - Clubs composing the Northern Cen-jthe score but the superior work of. the tral league have found the present' St. Paul's again brought that tea3

organization too large and are now ready to consider another organiza tion, according to Elmer Eggemeyer. president of the Richmond Exhibition company who talked with Harry Chamber of Muncie and Manager Jenkins of Newcastle, Sunday Both managers favor a smaller organization and Chambers invited Eggemeyer and another Richmond man to attend a meeting at Newcastle Sunday for the purpose of organizing a smaller circuit. The cities expected to send -representatives, to this meeting are Richmond," Muncie, Newcastle, Anderson, Peru Marion, Kokomo and two other clubs which will be traveling clubs in the loop. Both Jenkins and Chambers have been strong for Richmond's entrance into the semi-pro ball this year. Official Will Attend The Northern Central league composed of twelve clubs has developed several clubs which are determined to hang on, but have not enough money to put up the required forfeit and havo very poor teams. There are about five cities that have not forfeited yet. It is thought that Charles Carr and W. E. Ball, both officials of the . Northern Central, will be present at the meetmg to aid in tne organization of tne new league. In case enough managers report at this meeting Sunday the league organization will be completed and whipped into shape soon. Elmer Eggemeyer will appoint a manager for the Richmond team and begin to mobilize the players that will represent Richmond. Whether they will be for the most part local players has not been decided.Arrangements will be made to get several first class semi-pro ball players from other places and it is altogether possible that with a player limit in big leagues, that Richmond can obtain ono or two players which the major leagues wish to have a line on. Giants To Play Sunday Unless Weather Interferes If the pluvial weather will let up. Vint Cooney's Richmond Athletics and Wilson's colored Richmond Giants will stage their double-headed bill at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon. The game will not be called off until Sunday morning. If the game can !.;., v.v,n Kn isMT,t, and Main will tell the story to the if the ball did not swing there would The Athletics were banking on gettine in trim for Sunday's came through t Via C!otiiriv A fiornriAn loacnia nlov but inclement weather made that impossible and the team has only been able to get together once this season Wilson's colored team hailing from Indianapolis has been under the same difficulties as the local team so will not have the edge on the team in practice in case the game can be played. First Methodist and St Paul's Lutheran Teams Win PosUSeason Games The First Methodist and St Paul's Lutheran Scout basketball teams were victorious in the three post-season games played Friday night at the Y. M. C. A. gym which was followed by a camp reunion meeting. As the South Eighth Street Friends team failed to put in its appearance the St. Paul's Lutheran played two games. The first game was with the First Presbyterian which it cornered with a score of 18 to 10. The game was rough from start to finish, all players playing their best for points. Dunham of the St. Paul aggregation

piled up a score sufficiently large to win while Bentlage was the big point getter for the losers. In the second game the First M. E.'s, playing four regulars and one sub, walked over the First Presbyterian church basketball team to 'the tune of 14 to 1. Kessler, Thomas and Johnson were the stars of the M. B. team. Kessler and Thomas divided honors and1layed a good game on the offensive, passing circles around the Presbys. Johnson : made four of the goals, while Cummins was the chief net star for their opponents, shooting four goals. The final game saw jthe St. Paul aggregation again walk away with first honors when it defeated the

I n.r-cfa. M V. ' team In " a closely eonthrough victorious, 13 to 10. It was the first defeat the Boy Scout team of Grace church has suffered this year.

Open season on "Chink" pheasants in Oregon is Oct 1 to 10 inclusive, five male birds per diem the limit, females are protected at all times. - We were hunting on the last day of the open season, birds had been pounded until they were scattered and wild. Single birds were our finds and snap shooting a necessity as those kaleidoscopic phantoms arose from the willow copse and madd the dash to escape the annoyance occasioned by our skyterrier, who was chasing through the brush that skirted the ditches emitting yelps, barks and growls. Pheasant and quail will road ahead of a noisy dog, until the eannie Is getting too near, at which time they take wing. While following a male pheasant to the top of a hill, I was treated to a view of the Rogue River Valley orchards. Many thousands of acres were planted with pear and apple trees, which were In different stages of development. Trees were freighted down with fruit to the extent that I was convinced, that no person on this mundane sphere should ever go fruit hungry if j the fruit grown in . that valley was 'dried and canned. Back I came to earth, when my bird, with a whirr of wings, dashed into the open, bringing this bird to bag was about as difficult &s hitting an elephant with a scoop shovel. . - The sun glinted on the bright plumage of this old, belligerent, aggressive patriarch, who had on many occasions made llge a misery for roosters around the barn yards during the close season. With regret I fired the shot, which brought him to my game bae. LOOK FOR THE FED BALL TDAnr i ni m i lrearms cAmmumuon 3-t-vfr.;r-rwi.?., i
