" "Pop" Simms of Cincinnati Is bringing one of the fastest semi-pro teams

-Aaround there to Richmond to meet the

J New Castle slavers.

Simms claims that his team can easily hand the Maxwells a crushing defeat and it is on this grounds that the Richmond management are bringing the Cincinnatians here. The lineup that will be in action Sunday will not be the club that will permanently represent Richmond, but owing to the fact that Richmond had to have a club in short order the management is bringing an entire club here from which it can chose players to play on the regular Quaker City lineup? Nashville After Fromholz . Complications of the Fromholz deal were learned Saturday from H. Win- ; terman, who is attempting to contract Fromholz as pitcher for Richmond. According to a letter received from Winterman of Cincinnati, the Nashville club wishes to secure Fromholz this season. Elmer Eggemeyer stated that he thought Fromholz would be here to pitch. In case he is not here Cimm's man Borcheting, who is claimed to be one of the best semipro pitchers around Cincinnati is coming to Richmond. Borchering has hurled ball for the Norwoods and Bealview clubs of Cincinnati. Keen rivalry will be manifested when the Rose City baseball aggregation and Quaker teams mix. Already Newcastle has boasted of the severe cleaning that their team will ' give Richmond in the first game Sunday. From some source or other the Maxwells learned that Richmond was securing a strong lineup for the first game and now the Maxwells have added several other strong players to their team that will play in Richmond. Shortstop Frank Dietrick, who has been starring in the games this spring as been recently obtained by tne cluh. Dietrich started playing league! ball" in the IWnois-Wistfonsin league inhere he played for one year. He then went to the Northern league for iwo years and then to the Central association in 1915. In 1916 he managed a club in the Dakota league and then In 1917 when most of the minors went broke, he played independent ball at Rochester, Minn. In 1918 he was in the service. Eddie Copeland Coming Harry Stuppe, who has held down the hot corner for the Maxwells for two years was once with the St. Louis club. In 1914 Stuppe commenced with the Southern Michigan league until it blew and tuen went to Dayton in the Central, where he remained until the Central league disbanded. In the spring of 1917 he got a chance to tryout with St. Louis, but did not secure a regular berth. St. Louis released him to the Virginia league and afterward he played with Newcastle.Eddie Copeland, the Maxwell initial sacker. played first base in the Argonne forest region through four battles In the late war, helping to put the Huns out Eddie broke into the minor leagues In 1908 with the Western league, where he remained until 1910. Copeland played ball on independent teams, minor leagues, until Uncle Sam made his call for men. If King Sol will relent and shine for a few hours the Dan pars win soon be dry and ready for the game. First base, pitcher's box and third I base are covered with canvas now and i 4 will be kept dry- Owing to the lay ; df the land and the good drainage facilities. It would only require a little sunshine to make the ball park fit Cor a fast game.

'Lee Woo, reporting ball' game.'-.. '"' Lee Woo, the great Hong Kong baseball writer, has been engaged by a San Francisco paper to report the daily game of the professional leagues in the west. Lee nails from Pa in China. He became an adept m the art of playing shuttlecock at the age of ten and at fourteen he was a champion. Because of his s'ureriority at 'the game ha was ruled off and then had to content himself with being umpire. At sixteen, when he was considered the greatest authority on the game, he met a missionary that taught him baseball a la American. He manufactured a set of gloves, balls and bats, and induced his followers to play the game. With Lee as umpire the game prospered He has now come to America and is conducting the column entitled "Stlike Outs." He is here seen watching a close play through a telescope, after which he yells, "Take out pitchee man; him aim go by-by."
