He will weigh nearer tfca 240 pound mark; experts believe. y vt uM.tntn t.vn Aavi before i-H iuv i cuituia " the contest, it is regarded as more than likely that Willard, rather than Dempsey will reduce the most.

Reds Never Lower Than ; Third Since Season Opened CINCINNATI, O., June 27 This is the sixty-fifth day since the National League season opened. There is just one ball club In the circuit which has been in the first division every day of the 64, and that club never has been below third place, the Reds. Since opening day the Reds have held first place By themselves on six days and on six other days were tied lor the league leadership. They have held a clear title to second place on 38 days, and on two days divided that position with - another team. They have been in third place 12 days. And that is all there is to tell about the positions they have occupied since opening day. New York has held the lead long er, but New York was down in the second division for three days early In the season. Pittsburgh and Chicago have been bobbing back and forth between the first and second divisions, while Brooklyn, after enjoying high society for quite a spell, took a dive down into the dungeons. Randall Would Prohibit Willard-Dempsey Match WASHINGTON, Juno 27. A resolu tion requesting the governor of Ohio to prevent "the threatened desecration of the nation's birthday" by a prize fight between Willard and Dempsey at Toledo, July 4, was Introduced yester day by Representative Randall, Pro hibitionist, California. "One of the participants in this pro posed ngm," Mr. Kanaau said, "en gaged in a similar fight a few years ago with Jack Johnson, a fugitive from justice, who has confessed that he was bought off and threw the fight co his adversary. "Why should a fight between bruiser slackers, who were not- brave enough to Join the war against Ger man murderers, be permitted in this country?"

MUNGIE EXPECTED

TO BRING CROWDS TO RIGMD PARK , A good crowd is expected at Ex hlbitlon park next Sunday when the Richmond . clnb play Shad Cunningham's Muscle team. Each Sunday has seen the number of fans increase, and the management of Richmond-has commenced to see prospects of really worthy support Not only that but fans are getting the players they want. When the Richmond baseball directors started they did not intend to use any local players but as the local sentiment fa vored the playing of Pete Minner, additional local men will be played from time to time. Next Sunday the battery will be entirely composed of local players. Pete Minner will pitch and Claud Knight will receive him. Had Crowd at M uncle. Two weeks ago this Sunday Rich mond handed Muncie an awful walloping at Muncie but - Cunningham Intends , to tell a different story this time. He has fired almost his entire club and will come to Quakertown Sunday with but three of his original lineup, retaining Relnhart. rightfield; Hayworth, first base , and Crouse, catcher. . He has added several good players and "his club looks like a tough proposition on paper. He has secured Wright, who has been -pitching for Anderson. Wright is a former White Sox twirler and has pitched several good games while with the Eagles club. Some days Wright goes like wildfire, and the next he is plastered all over the lot. His specialty is the spit ball. Besides Wright, Shad has Ellis at short; Graves, second; Laraud, center field: Chambers, left field: and Weaver, third base. These men form the new club with which Shad promises to retrieve that 9 to 3 score in favor of Richmond, Richmond Also Busy. "Bugs" Wlnterman, of Richmond, has also been busy. He has suggested by wire that the Richmond directors hire Al Leake to pitch next Sunday, but the locals arc confident that Min ner can win, and have taken on only Gus Felix, first baseman. Newcastle plays Richmond twice after the Muncie game. Some team must roll the Rose City aggregation in the dust, and it is with this idea that the Richmond- club owners will work, starting immediately after next Sunday's game. So far nothing can be announced concerning that lineup, except that Jake Fromholz is booked to pitch the July 4 game at Exhibition park. Just because Fromholz will pitch Independence day does not mean that Minner will be let down. Manager Winterman has no intention of letting loose of Minner. Newcastle has a pitching staff of three hurlers. Babe Walters, Rudy Sommers. and Hauser, while Pete did it all for the Quakers, until the signing of Fromholz. Anderson Directors "Clean House" ; Drop 8 Players Anderson directors have decided to install a new baseball club to repre sent that city. Eight players were informed that their services would no longer be needed this week, among them being three Richmond men. This action was taken . after the Eagles met with a drubbing at the hands of the Newcastle Maxwells last Sunday, 9 to 2. Outfielders Cooney and Hewitt, and Catcher Haas, of Richmond, were dropped. Pitcher Wright was also let loose and is signed with Muncie now. Cooney and Haas probably will get an opportunity to play with the local club soon.
