REDS HAVE SIX GAME LEAD; ARE BEATEN SUNDAY

Leaders 'Way Out in Front Sallee is Hit Hard by Brooklyn. GIANT-RED STANDING W. L. Pet. Win. Lose. Reds 71 34 .676 .679 .670 Giants 62 37 .629 .630 .620 BROOKLYN, Aug. 18. While the Superbas were slamming out hits off Sheriff Sallee of Hlgginsport. the Reds spent Sunday afternoon giving Brooklyn Infield a little fielding practice, with the result that Cincinnati's lead was cut down by a half run and Brooklyn won the honor of having shut out the league leaders, 3 to 0. Salleo apparently had nothing on the ball, and the Robins took advantage of this fact early in the game. Clever fielding on the part of Slim's teammates held Brooklyn without a run for four Innings, however, before a single and a pair of doubles netted Brooklyn two tallies. Sergeant Sherrod Smith allowed the Reds but three hits, and Roth was the only member of the leader's team to get beyond first base. Groa and Rousch were helpless with the cudgel, and the Red offensive was nil. Both teams played airtight ball in the field, and not an error was chalked up on either side. Five of the Superba's ten hits were for two bases, and three of them figured in the scoring. Reds Gain in Week. As the result of the last week of play, the Reds are more assured than ever of copping the National league bunting, and unless some accident breaks up the winning combination. Cincinnati should figure In the World's series. The remarkable showing made against the Giants practically put that team out of running, whereas the other teams in the league are so far behind as to make it almost impossible to overtake the Red lead. The Giants have been playing in a slump during the past two weeks, and if they win out, they will have to finish the season at a .650 gait, while the - Reds only have to break even on their games to finish the season on top, barring a remarkable spurt from behind. From now on, the Reds will have a much easier schedule, while the Giants have six more frames to play than their rivals. Manager Moran has been strengthening the Red outfield, and Pat Duncan, the new Southern association outfielder made his first aprfaranee in Sunday's game. The Reds have two more games at Brooklyn, and then move north for a series with Boston, coming back to Philadelphia for the week end. The score of Sunday's contest: Cincinnati Ab. R, Bh. Po. A. E.

Nehf, Southpaw Flinger With Punch, May Help Giants Yet to Overtake Cincinnati

There's a chance, albeit & slim one, that one southpaw flinger. Arthur Nehf, may figure in the National league pennant race, now in its most critical period. The Giants still have a fair mathematical chance of overhauling the romping Reds. McGraw's weak spot is his pitching staff. Realizing this, he willingly gave up four count 'em players to obtain another flinger whom he figured might give his staff the needed punch. That man is Nehf. Mac gave Causey. Oeschger, O'Neill and John Paul Jones to the barnacled Braves for Art a few days ago. Nehfs record with the Boston club isn't startling, reading it offhand. But considering the fact that he has been hurling for a second-rate club he has shown that he has been going good. When he left the Braves he had won eight and lost nine games an average above his club's won and lost total. And, what is more important, he has shown that he can beat the good clubs in the circuit. He licked the Reds twice while copping eight games. McOraw wouldn't have passed out Jones and Causey, men he had called "comers," along with the other players for Nehf unless he considered Art would add strength to his club.

CENTRAL LEAGUE IS FORECAST HERE FOR 1920 SEASON Plans for what promises to be the fastest baseball ever played In Richmond are already under way, and officials of the Richmond Exhibition company are confident that the Central league, with either six or eight clubs, will be played here next season, with Richmond holding a franchise. A meeting has been called for the early part of October, for financial backers in a number of cities in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, and local boosters are confident that the league that played here in 1917 will be reorganized, with a few changes in the teams. Three western clubs, Evansville, Peoria and Bloomington, now in the Three-Eye league have expressed their desire to become a part of a Central league, and will probably become members of the new organization, with either three or five clubs from Indiana and Ohio to make up the balance of the league personnel. Baseball fans in Springfield, O., are strong for the return of league baseball to that city, after two seasons of semi-pro ball, and the backers are ready to take up a franchise. Dayton May Be In. There is still some doubt as to the position Dayton backers will take in the new league, although men interested in the league are of the opinion that the Gem City will be represented provided that there is an eight-team league. Fort Wayne Is also eager to get DacK into tne central league and the fans there are willing to give the proper backing to a club. There is a possibility that MunHs a f " ' L.VlW at a chance to see league baseball. and a group of men have already assured proper financial backing for the team. With the five eastern teams, and three from the western part of the state, or Illinois, traveling expenses of the clubs would be cut down considerably, and the rivalry between the clubs would probably be much stronger. Michigan teams have not made anv effort, to return to a Central league, if i: T .u., T.eb . e8: 1 ATI A iw Awn m I ..a ,1 1 x 1 struggle, will probably not be represented in the new league. S. A. L. GAMES WILL BE PLAYED LATER Owing to the rain and the fact that the carnival occupied their diamonds, no S. A. L. games were played Saturday. The games will be played off later. The S. A. L. season ends September 6. and several good games are to be played this dat. Next Saturday the Starr Piano plays the A. S. M. and a victory for the Starrs will tie the two for first place. j Gloom prevades the A. S.

Two events of importance in golf circles are scheduled for the Kokomo Country Club, on August 19, the Indiana open golf championship contest will be held and on the following day the Indiana amateur 4 ! handicap tournament is to take place. About one hundred players are expected to participate in the first event and a large number of visitors are to be in the city for both contests.

PLANS ARE UNDER WAY FOR "1920" OLD . SETTLER'S REUNION

While the 1919 Old Settlers Reunion was still In session last Saturday afternoon plans were already underway for making the reunion of 1920 not only the largest reunion ever arranged but also a homecoming for every citizen in Center township. This announcement was made by Thomas Jessup, chairman of the pro- j gram committee. Jessup and his committee are making extensive plans for the meeting, which will be held as is has for the past 60 years on the third Saturday in August. Despite the downpour of rain Saturday morning the 300 people who came into Centerville for the reunion in the afternoon pronounced is a splendid success. Of special interest was the speech of Wilfred Jessup who pointed out the signflcance of the meeting and the respect with which the reunionists had gathered to pay tribute to the older traditions and the older people who had blasted westward trails and settled the community. "It is going to be up to the sons and grandsons and great grandsons of these old settlers to save the inheritance which has been given them: for 'equally great is he who 6aves the house as he who makes it.' " said Jessup. He also treated optomistically a number of the great questions iof the present time. Stephen eHnwood, 87 years old, and a lifelong resident of the community, was the oldest settler to attend the reunion. Mr . Henwood, who li-s south of Centerville, is still hale and hearty as were other settlers including W. W. Hollopeter, 79 years old, of Richmond; Charles A. Keys, 79 years old, of Centerville; James A. Bolander, 84 years old, of Richmond; Calvin Pitts, 75 years old, of Greensfork, and I. W. Doddridge, 77 years old, of Milton. Senators Beat Whitewater; Want Game With Quakers to Decide City Championship The Richmond Senators defeated Whitewater Sunday by a score of 8 to 4. Although the diamond was muddy, fast ball was played. Madge, who did the hurling for the Senators, fanned twelve men, while Breece of Whitewater fanned five. The Senators have not lost an cut-of-town game this year, and demand a game with Sam Vigran's Quakers to decide the city championship. The score by innings: R. H E.

Before the largest crowd of the season. Eldorado defeated the Liberty Miller-Kem-pers, here Sunday, by the score of 2 to 1. The game was a thriller and snappy playing kept the fans on edge. Both pitchers were in great form and allowed but five hits between them. The Miller-Kempers started the scoring by making one run in the first half of the fifth, but Eldorado also scored one run in this inning, and in the sixth added on? more. This proved to be the winning run. although the game was in doubt until the last putout. Next Sunday Eldorado has a game scheduled here, with the fast Richmond All Stars. The score: R. H. E.

If McGoorty Beats Beckett, and Beckett Beats Carpentier, What About Jack Dempsey?

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 London pro-1 moters have picked Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh, Wis., middleweight, to battle Joe Beckett, British heavyweight champion, at London, on Sept. 2. This bout, scheduled for twenty rounds, takes the place of the BeckettCarpentier contest, slated for the same date. Carpentier, still in army service, was forced to postpone his engagement with the Briton. The Car-pentier-Beckett clash is now on the books for som time in November. Either they have all possible confidence in Beckett's ability, or else someone slipped up in making the McGoorty match. Eddie is a mighty shifty battler. He carries a kick that lemindeth one of the mule's hind foot. He is a clever boxer, fast on his feet and an adept at making the other fellow miss by a mile or so. If by any chance Edward should knock Beckett kicking, the latter's hopes of a battle with Jack Dempsey for the world's crown would sink without leaving a trace. With it would go that million- dollar purse or whatever the exact sum is. That Eddie is liable to drop the Britisher for the long ten count is no mere dream. McGoorty has dropped quite a few big ones in his day. His army training seems to have revived him just when it seemed he was on the toboggan. American fight lovers who saw the recent Carpentier-Dick Smith bout at Paris sent along word that Yankeei land has some good middleweights who would be more than a match for the French champion. Yankees who saw Beckett dispose of Frank Goddard in the battle that decided the British crown were not impressed with Beckett's work. They too, flashed word that Beckett did not seem as good as some of our good middlsweights. Mr.Goorty is right among the top liners In the middle division. Imagine what complication would develop should Edward knock Beckett for a goal. That probably would knock the Beckett-Carpentier match Into a cocked haL McGoorty would be in line for the crack at Carpentier. Continuing along these same lines, suppose Eddie should take the measure of the Frenchman also? Who'd fight Jack Dempsey then? Hardly McGoorty. Eddie is too light a legitimate middleweight who seldom steps into the ring weighing more than 165 pounds. A MeGoortyDempsey match wouldn't be much of a card in America. Nor it is possible that London would pay a fortune to see two Yankees maul each other about. WAR LOANS WILL STAND. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.

Rain Causes Postponement of Connersville Game Richmond was forced to forego the pleasure of beating Connersville Sunday, owing to the fact that a 50-foot telephone pole occupied second base, and another pole of the same size was at third. ' Added to this, the diamond was a sea of mud and even though Sam Vigran could have induced the city lineman to take the poles and wiring down by yesterday afternoon, a game could scarcely have been played without the aid of boats. Manager Vlgran of the locals, said that a fast team would be brought here next Sunday to meet the Quakers. Combustion in Hay Is Cause of Many Fires INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 18. Every year the state fire marshall receives reports from over the state where fires are caused by spontaneous ignition in hay. The first of these reports to reach the fire marshal's office this year comes from Henry county, in which the cause of the fire is assigned by the township trustee as "spontaneous combustion by new hay put in on old hay; no ventilation.' Many destructive fires have been caused by the spontaneous ignition of

hay. especially clover and alfalfa, both in mows and in stacks. The first cutting of alfalfa seems to be most dangerous in this respect. There is little danger from this source if the hay is properly cured. The great danger, according to the fire marshal, seems to be from the storing of new hay on top of old hay. The number of fires from this cause has led him to make the following suggestions: Don't put hay in mow until properly cured. Be careful also with damp fodder and straw, and bins of moist grain and seeds. Don't put new hay or fodder on old hay. straw or fodder. Microbes are never found on gold coins, while paper money is an ideal home for them. AND SOME SMOKE
