Biiuuaj HUCIUUUU ILL . tiU U tlWk. The Richmond nine is materially stronger now than it has yet been this season, and with the number of old players that the Quaker City directors are securing, Richmond will almost be
represented-by the old baseball club)
lnat won Bo many victories years ago l&frTA tt antral laaniA wioHa Its
debut here. The Dayton team has played two games in the Indiana State league, both of which were overtime, at Muncie and Anderson. At Muncie two weeks ago the club lost 6 to 5 and last Sunday, after playing eleven innings at Anderson, was vanquished 3 to 2. In two practice games preceding the club's opening date in the Indiana State league, the Ohio team won once 'over the Dayton Marcos and defeated the Springfield club of the Ohio league. The record the Ohio club ha3 made - J. . . . . - - .
Bnuws 11 io os & strong team mai should put up a great-baseball battle against the strengthened Richmond
club next Sunday afternoon. Larson, an old Association and Central league pitcher is hurling for Dayton. Larson has proved almost invincible and has forced the local clubs in the Indiana State league to do some lieavy slugging to win. There are iseveral other players on the Buckeye club with league experience and also several men who are wanted by the minor league clubs. When Sunday's game Is called the ball park will be in the best of condition and a large crowd is expected. Richmond has always proved a big drawing town for baseball but local sportsmen have to be shown before Ihey will believe. "With two victories on the local club's books, however, an unusually large throng should wend Its way to the newly painted grandstand at the Exhibition park next Sunday.

S. A. L. CHANGES RULE GOVERNING PLAYERS To permit teams in the Saturday Afternoon league to enlist the services of a ball player soon after he starts to work at the factory which is supporting a team, S. A. L. managers topi favorable on the amendment
providing that it is not necessary for
the player to wors more man two weeks. The meeting of managers was held at Vlgran's store Tuesday night. TWnre the DassinK of this amend
ment thp constitution provided that
a ninvpr should work four weeks be
fore becoming eligible to play. Under
the new ruling the league snouia produce better players and show better ball. Another amendment relative to the use of three out-side players failed to meet the approval of the majority of the managers, and as only four were present last night, it will.be brought up in . a future meeting. An attempt will be made to play only one game on Exhibition park diamond instead of a doubleheader. Vigran will try to obtain the use of the Easthaven diamond for this purpose. This will relieve each team from playing on one diamond too often, but will take away some patronage which is Attracted to the park for a double-header, and therefore will be a money loser for the league.

General view of mammoth arena under construction at Bay View Park for championship contest July Fourth.
This photo is the most recent one taken of the great wooden arena being erected at Bay View
Park, Toledo, to accommodate the 1 J 1 .'I... 1
tiuwu eib bite iieavYwviui cuuiupiorship battle. The number of thousands of feet of lumber going
into its construction is incomprehensible to the man outside the lumber business. Suffice it to say that carloads of lumber for the arena are arriving hourly on sidings and are being hauled out to the site by a of truck.
Some idea of the magnitude of the stadium can be gained from the fact that from the ring in the center of the arena to the first of the $10 seats in the rear part of the stands is 232 feet. The men silting in the last rows will be
thirty-five feet off the ground. James L. McLaughlin, the man who designed ana is erecting the arena, says it has been designed to give the maximum number of people a perfect view of the arena. One of the conditions governing
the construction of the stadium is that there are to be no posts or other obstructions to .hinder the view of the spectators. The arena is located near the Toledo Yacht club, on a large field, part of which was a baseball diamond.

ROSCOE SARLES TO
DRIVE ROAMER CAR IN MANY BIG RACES
KALAMAZOO, Mich., June 18. Ros-
coe Sarles has concluded a deal with A. C. Barley, president of the Barley
Motor Car company, whereby be will
drive a Roamer the balance of the
season, also during 1920.
SaTles' first contest under his new contract will be to compete in the
Elgin road race in August. He will then take his car to the Pacific coast
and prepare to compete at the open-'
ing of Ascot Park on Thanksgiving. He will Btart in all the important
track and speedway races in Califor
nia during the winter months, ana come east early In the spring for the 500 mile contest over the Indianapolis speedway.
Sarles has taken the wreckea Koamer to the Barley plant where it will
be entirely rebuilt and made as good
as new. Fortunately the motor was not injured in the accident and will require very little work to make it operate perfectly, as in the past. Sarles considers this motor one of the finest power plants ever turned out by the Deusenberg company. Discussing his hopes and aspirations for the future, Sarles said: "I shall not rest content until I have won at Indianapolis and intend to bend every energy to secure a car fast enough to finish in front on that speedway. ' "My olans for the future provide
that at least 30 days in advance for
the time for holding the five nun
dred mile race In 920, I will be at the Indianapolis speedway. I vill

New Umpire Must Be Secured For State League Games Chief Boatswains Mate Reber, who has been acting as umpire in the Indiana state league officiating at all games played at Richmond, has been directed to go to Evansville to take charge of the navy recruiting office. Reber will probably officiate Sunday when Dayton plays here but will not be able to serve after that time. He will try to secure a short leave from duty in order to umpire the coming game. Reber's officiating and his lucid decisions have met with the approval of fans and visiting clubs. Where the Richmond management will secure an official to umpire as cleanly and fairly as Reber is a question which will have to be solved in the next few days. At present the di
rectors of the local have not a man In
view.

GRAPPLERS MEET AT AIRDOME TONIGHT
Jimmy Chanos, local wrestler will demonstrate his ability to deal with big men Wednesday night when he
meets Sam Davis, Greeks champion of Indianapolis, at the South Tenth Airdome, finish match. The preliminary bouts will be called at 8 o'clock. The main bout will be for the best two out of three falls. Bud Wallace of Richmond with Breese of Ohio a likely fistic battler will precede the wrestlers. Already a large number of tickets have been sold and a good sized crowd is expected. Both local men are in good shape and will enter the ring ready to give their opponents a hot fight. For over a year Wallace has had very little opportunity to display his ability around Richmond.
Chanos has met over one hundred
(By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., June 18. Tex Rikard, promoter of the heavyweight championship contest between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey here July 4, today expressed his satisfaction over the defeat of the bill in the Ohio legislature last night, which, if passed, would have empowered Governor Cox to prevent the match. "That's fine really good news," Rickard said. "I cannot possibly see how any opposition to the contest can be taken seriously. I have every con
fidence that there will be no further
attempt to interfere with the staging of the exhibition."
Willard today received word from "Steamboat Bill" Scott, a light heavyweight, who has Just returned from France, expressing his willingness to join the champion's staff of sparring partners immediately upon his discharge from the service at Camp Sher
man. Scott formerly was a sparring mate of Willard's. He returned from France holding the championship honors of the Sixth Division. Admirers of Dempsey are surprised over the weight of the challenger, who tipped the scales yesterday at 201 pounds, wearing only his trunks and boxing shoes. None of them believed Dempsey weighed within ten pounds of that figure as they thought he had reduced to his lowest possible weight as a result of working hard under the heat of, a scorching sun. There was nothing suspicions about Dempsey's weighing yesterday. It was done in the presence of nearly two score of newspaper men, a great majority of whom believed that the challenger would scale somewhere between 180 and 190 pounds. The scales were
tested a half dozen times before Dempsey hopped on them. The only explanation of Dempsey's astonishing increase in weight is that he thrives rr t vn ? r in or that Vi a Vtoa Kaati

Between 5:3d and 11 o'clock Tuesday morning 100 mail pouches were dispatched from the Richmond postoffice. This is an unprecedented amount of mail for midsummer. "We worked and felt like Christmas time," said Postmaster C. B. Beck Tuesday evening. The average num

Bay has put on considerable poundage, instead of reducing it. Willard has a new sparring partner in camp who promises to be of valuable assistance: The new addition is Joe Chip, a middleweight of Newcastle, Pa. He Is fast, lets his punches fly from all angles and half a dozen
