OLD MAN PLUVIUS MAY SPOIL REDS' GAME WEDNESDAY

Cincinnati's Contenders Home for Fifteen Days Protested Contest Played Sunday. NEW YORK, July 23. With six games of their eastern series already knocked out by rain, and a small chance for Wednesday's doubleheader, the Reds start back Into the land of sunshine, Thursday, stopping long enough on the way to give the Pirates if chance at three games, before coming home to open a fifteen-day stay. With rain falling heavily for three straight days, the Polo grounds took on the appearance of an aquarium, and Manager McGraw called off Tuesday's game before noon. Water was standing two feet deep at some places on the grounds, and it will take a full day of sunshine to dry the field sufficiently for a game Wednesday. With the able assistance of J. Pluvlus, the Reds will be able to return to Ohio with the better end of their eastern trip, in spite of any outcome of Wednesdays double bill. The Reds have played nine games so far on their eastern trip, and have won six of them. With a double defeat Wednesday, they will still have one game of the trip to the good, and Manager Moran is confident that either Sallee or Ruether will be able to pull in a victory if Wednesdays bill is played. Idleness Enforced. Owners of the two clubs have suffered a heavy loss as a result of the rainy weather during the Reds stay at New York, as Giant fans are greatly interested In the work of the Reds, and large crowds have assembled at the Polo grounds on both days when there was even a slight chance of a game. The Reds have been rather pressed for practice, and their forced idleness has caused Manager Moran some concern. With the exception of Ruether and Sallee, the Red hurlers are sadly in need of practice, and Manager Moran is fearful lest his slabman, Eller and Ring, go wild when they get into a game. Neither of the men have pitched for almost two weeks, and are way out of form. The Reds open their home series with the Pirates on next Sunday, and President Heydler. of the National league, will probably order the last three innings of July 6 game to be played at thU time. The Reds have a two-run lead on tiis game, and with only three innings to play, should have little difficulty in "putting the game back in their percentage column. League Standings

Speaker's Batting Eye Returns; Wallops Old Belief That Manager's Job Ruins Good Player

Tris Speaker ready to By N. E. Brown Will Tris Speaker, now pilot of the Indians and the baby manager of the big leagues, upset the old John baseball dope for the fans? May be. Tristram had been hunting all around the baseball bouse for his batting eye.Spoke looked under the dresser and every other place. No. luck. Then one day Tris was too busy to bother about it. President Dunn had . made him manager of the club and Tris was busy with his new duties. Imagine his surprise when he connected four times out of the next five times up. And he has been hitting at a great clip ever since. Now, it has been the general impression that the strains of managing a major league club will tell on a man's game if he continues to play while piloting the club. Then how can Spoke's spurt be explained? To my mind it is simply a coinci dence. He had been trying to break j through the batting crust all season ; and finally got a toehold. j Speaker was born at Texas City, : Tex., April 4. 1888. ! He weighs ISO pound3, stands o feet lHi inches and bats and throws left-handed, as all well know. Speaker joined the Cleveland club on April 12, 1916, and pulled Cleveland form a baseball graveyard right ud in front rank. Speaker's early experience in league ball was with little Rick, Ark., from where he went to the Boston Red-j Sox and starred. Speaker has been known as the "last word" in outfi elding, having the reputation of playing farther in towards the infield than any other player. Tris has been a phenomenal batter alonK with his great fielding ability, never falling below the .iW mark in hitting sine he was recognized as a star in 1909. Since that time Spoke has batted .309, .340, .327, .3S3, .366, .338, .322. .36. .352 and 319. His list season with Cleveland he wrestled the batting honors away from Ty Cobb, who was out to make it ten years in succession. Lee Fohl stamped himself as r. regular guy by resigning voluntarily when he saw that the fans had ceased to back his judgment. Dunn has shown be knows Fohl is a valuable man by retaining him in some other capacity. Fohl took charge of the Indians as manager May 22, 1915. He resigned as leader of the Cleveland club on July 19. Thus Fohl had charge of the Indians during more than four years. "Under Fohl in 1915 the Indians won forty-five and lost seventy-nine games, a .st3 rating. In 1916 they garnered seventy-seven victories and lost the same number for a mark of .500. In 1917 Fohl's boys showed a real punch and finished with eighty-eight wins and sixty-six defeats, .575 baseball. Yesterday's Results j NATIONAL LEAGUE No games; rain.

step into a fast one.

In 1918 they came through with seventy-three victories and lost fifty-four, which gave them a. rating of .575, pretty good. Under Fohl this year the Indians had won forty-four and lost thirtyfour games, which is stepping at a .564 pace. The Indians were third when Fohl gave up the reins to Speaker and within 5 games of the lead. They finished seventh with Fohl aB pilot in 1915, ran sixth in 1916, third ln 1917 were runners-up last season. Fohl played his first ball for Pittsburg in 1902, and after his Job with the Pirates played with Des Moines, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Akron, Columbus, Charleston and Waterbury. He was manager of the latter club, which was used as a farm for the Cleveland club. He went tq. Cleveland to act as coach of the pitchers under Joe Birmingham and succeeded Binuy as pilot. MEETING CALLED TO REORGANIZE S. A, L. Tresldent Vigran, of the Saturday Afternoon league, has called a meeting of the league directors to be held Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock at Vigran's store, for the purpose of rearranging the league schedule, as a result of two teams dropping from the league. Following the announcement rnado a.A Saturday that the Johnson-Fryes had dropped from the S. A. L., the Jenkins Vulcan aggregation tossed up the sponge Tuesday, and the league will finish the season with only four trams. Lack of interest on the part of players is given as the reason for ; (he tw0 teams withdrawing from the , ieague. At the opening of the season, when both teams were going good, there was plenty of material, but since the skids have been placed under their percentage, players have deserted, and now it is claimed to be impossible for either organization tc put a full team on the field.

WHEAT PRICES GO UP VOLUNTARILY, IS STATE REPORT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 23. Reports have been coming Into the headquarters of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations from various sections of the state to the effect that grain dealers and millers in a number of places have advanced the price they have been paying the producers for this year's wheat crop. Secretary Lewis Taylor said yester day that word from Anderson was to the effect that grain dealers there are paying $2.16 for No. 1 wheat, $2.13 for No. 2 and $2.09 for No. 3. However, he said, many millers in the state and ln Indianapolis were still quoting $2.11 tor No. 1 wheat. The federation, according to Mr. Taylor, expects a ruling shortly from the United States Grain corporation which may revise the handling charge of dealers paying only $2.11 to a point where farmers will receive practically the same for their wheat as is being paid in Anderson. Federation Starts Drive. The campaign in the drive for $200,000 as a guarantee fund with which to finance the farmers' organization for a period of at least three years has been placed under the supervision of W. H. Hickman, first vice president of the federation and chairman of the executive committee. Three novel features have been embodied in raising the guaranty fund for the organization. The first is that the subscriber has his obligation canceled should be moved out of the state for permanent residence; the second is that the obligation is canceled in case of death, and the third provides that when the enrollment of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associa tions reaches 100,000 in membership the obligation is canceled. It was announced yesterday that one day of the State Fair is to be et aside for the organization. The federation has planned to erect a large tent, which is to serve as headquarters for visiting members at the fair.

Wanted Street Box Key so He Could Mail Letter; Trash Can Gets 23 Complications "Have you got a key to this letter

box out here?" queried a worried looking man of a Richmond grocer. "No, sir. No one but the collecting postman haa that," explained the grocer, slightly puzzled. "What d'you want with it?" According to postmaster C. B. Beck to whom the grocer confided, the answer was: "Why, I want to open the boat eo I kin mail a letter." The postmaster says this was not half so disastrous, however, as was the efforts of 23 good people who mailed their letters in a new green trash can, recently placed in a certain district of the city. Two or three weeks later when the can was emptied for the first time, 23 letters were found by the trash collector reposing on the bottom.
