PENNANT HANGS ON STARR-SEEDER GAME AT PARK SATURDAY

Saturday afternoon at 1:30,, the A. S., M. and Starrs began play, "with the Swayne-Robinsons and Wayne Works waiting on the sidelines to begin their game. Of the two games, that of the Starrs and Seeders is meat important. The pennant hangs on this contest. If the Seeders win they will practically cinch the bunting, as the league leaders will not meet again this season, and but two games remain to be played. Next Saturday the season really ends, but the games postponed from

August 16 will be played off on September 6, thus making two scheduled games remaining. But If the Starrs

oeat me seeaers this afternoon, a special game will have to be played, as the two teams would be even in per

centage.

Sam Vlgran, president of the league, announced there would be a meeting of the four managers sometime next

week, to wind up the season's bus!

ness and to discuss plans for the

annual smoker and banquet to the players and managers, which is held every year.

BUTTER PRICES BOOSTED

BOSTON, Aug. 23. With 3,000,000 pounds of butter in cold storage here, prices have gone up like a skyrocket The reason for this is being sought by the Federal Grand Jury, which today examined a dozen dealers in butter, eggs and cheese. Prices of other foodstuffs also are soaring, while thousands of tons of these necessaries are said to be in storage.

Is topping the American league batters with a mark of .476, according to averages released In 28 games made an average of 403. Ty Cobb, ol Detroit, is the real leader, more than 100 points behind Murphy. The Detroit star has been bagging safe blows consistently and has an average of .374 made in 90 games. Jacobson, of St. Louis, is the lunner up to Cobb with .352. George Bisler, star of the St. Louis club, Is showing the way to the base

stealers with 25 thefts, but is being pushed by Johnston of Cleveland and

Hooper of Boston, who have pilfered 22 sacks each. In addition to being the leading base stealer Sisler is in front in total bases with a mark of 210, which is better than that of "Babe" Ruth of Boston, the slugging home-run king, who has a string of 19 homers to his credit. Ruth lacked on three circuit drives in the past week.

batters with .340. Jim Thorpe of Boston, is next with 326 and Rousch, of

REDS COME FROM

BEHIND AGAIN AND BEAT BRAVES, 7-4

Gowdy and Rudolph, Catcher4, and Pitcher, Make Home' Runs in Succession.

RED-GIANT STANDING W. U Pet. Win Lose Reds 76 84 .691 .694 .685 Giants ...67 88 .639 .641 .632 Reds, win 2 .696; Lose 2 .679; split .683. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 23. Again did the Reds step up from the rear of the procession, In Friday's game with the Braves here, and In the last three

innings, overcame a healthy lead and

took the game. 7 to 4. Fridays' victory makes it three straight wins lor Moran's men. The Reds left last night for Philadelphia, where they start a five game' series Saturday, the last of their east-1 ern trip. Two Homer In Succession. For the first five Innings, both pitchers hurled excellent ball, but m.j the sixth, Eller weakened, and allowed two runs. Rudolph held Ught In the sixth, but blew up entirely la the sev-' enth and allowed four rims.

In the Braves' half of the seventh Gowdy and Rudolph, catcher and: pitcher, tied the score with a pair of home runs, the first event of this kind in baseball history. Once started, the Reds could not be stopped, however, and In the

eigntn tney maae two more ana another In the final round. Eller wasrelieved in the seventh, and Ulng fin-' ished the contest. He held the Braves : tight while his mates went out andi won the game.

Unless bad luck overtakes the team1

at Philadelphia, the Reds will return

from the eastern trip with a better

record than they have ever before car

ried from an eastern series. In thirteen games, they have won ten, losing two out of four to the Giants, one of. four to the Robins, and taking three straight from the Braves. It has been

clean sweep, and the Reds are anx

ious for their return to Cincinnati,1 where they wind np the season in the. west and at home.

Walter Ruether will start Saturday's

game against Philadelphia, and It is probable that Jimmie Ring, who only pitched three innings yesterday, will

hurl the aftermath.

Of all the games to be played Sun

day, August 24, that of the Dayton Americans versus the Quakers, will he the fastest, for the Americans are one of the strongest teams that have played here thi3 season. Richmond hall fans are urged to come out and

cheer.

The locals aren't positive of beating

the Americans but they are going to try hard to trim them. The diamonds should be in splendid shape, providing it does not rain before Sunday. Centsrville vs. Connersville Another contest which is attracting much attention is the Centerville and Connersville battle, which is to be staged at Centerville, Sunday afternoon. Centerville has been beating all comers so far this season, but they are trying to take an awful big bite when they tackle the Reserves. The latter have a very powerful line up. Down at Liberty a regular ball game is promised when the Miller-Kempers, who are representing Liberty, take on the Richmond Senators. The Senators are claiming the semi-pro championship of all the Richmond teams playing out of town games. Madge and Aubin will compose the Senator's battery while Boulton and Short are expected to oppose them. All Stars at Eldorado. Two times this season the Richmond All-Stars have handed Eldorado a trommlng, but Eldorado believes the third time will be the charm, and the All-Stars will be forced to accept the short end of the score. Eldorado has been playing fast ball lately and has won the support of the Eldorado fans, and for this reason a large crowd is expected at the game. The Peru C. & O, team will play the Boston C. & O. team Sunday at Boston. These two teams are after the championship of the Chicago division of the C. & O., and for this reason a keenly contested game Is expected.

Moran Warns Reds Not To Take Chances; Don't Want Any Stars Hart Manager Pat Moran of the Reds, sees a pennant in eight and la not'

taking any chances of having his cuccessful combination broken up at thw late stage of the race by injuries to the players. The catchers, Jake Daubert, Heinle Groh and Larry Kopf have been warned against running into grand stands while chasing foul flies. Recently at Ebbets Field two valuable members on the club, Ivy WTIngo and Heinle Groh. were each slightly injured. WTingo was hit in the groin by a foul tip and Grab's left wrist was hit by a ball thrown around the infield during practice. In both cases their teammates quickly gathered round the injured athletes to find out the extent of the hurts. Neither one, however, was hurt enough to leave the game.

Monday Is First Day of National Roane Meet Dr. C. A. Hawley of the Interstate Roque toclatlon, of New Paris, O.. has announced that a two weeks roque tournament will be held by the association, beginning Aug. 25 and ending Sept. 6. The first week of the tournament will be for local (NewParis) players, hut the second week will be turned over to visiting players. As the association Is located only six miles east of Richmond, and as they have some of the finest courts In the country It Is thought many followers of roque sport here will participate In the tournament. The association baa one covered court, the only one of tta kind In available for tournament "use In the United States, which permits a perfectly level surfaoa upon which to play. The tournament will be played. xmder American Roque eagrue rules, 'With $2 club fee, and $2 tournament 'privileges tee, being charged.
