RICHMOND IS MEMBER OF. NEW CENTRAL LEAGUE; MAY START SOON

Reorganization of the old Central league was effected at a meeting of baseball moguls in Dayton, Sunday afternoon. Nine towns were represented, but Dayton withdrew in favor of Ludington, Mich. The other members of the league will be Richmond, Ft. Wayne, Lima, Springfield, Muskegon, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. E. E. Dickerson is manager of the league. He announced that the forfeit money must be in to him by Tuesday night. Several towns were prepared to post the money Sunday afternoon, but others were not notified to bring forfeit checks. Richmond officials say that their forfeit check will be sent Tuesday morning. May Start May 12 or 19. No definite date was set for the opening game, but May 12 or 19 are in most favor. The Michigan clubs of the new league have already appointed managers, and players will start to report Monday. Richmond officials announce that word will be sent to the players tent atively signed and these will start re porting later in the week. A manager for Richmond will be selected Monday afternoon or Tues day. Five men have applied. Ludington Is Strong Ludington was' at Sunday's meeting with two official representatives and three other men. It developed that although Ludington has a permanent population of but half of Richmond, it lias about 30,000 in the summer months. Certified figures showed that when Ludington was a. member of the Mlohn longuo ,inri Grand Rapids in the Central, Ludington drew greater crowds than Grand Rapids. Dayton baseball men have aspiration for an International league1 berth for next year and were slightly "leery" about entering the Central league. The four representatives present, i however, announced that Dayton would have entered and finished the season OV Jupiter Plavius Just Pours and Pours on Reid Field; Mowe Gets Anxious Coach Mowe of Earlham is literally "up a tree" as he has two baseball ;ames and two track meets scheduled Jfor this week, and old Jupiter Pluvius is determined to grant no let-up in his down-pours. The Wilberforce baseball nine comes to Reid Field Friday afternoon in the first game of the season for both schools. The Quakers are scheduled to play the Starr Piano nine Tuesday afternoon, but if rain prevents, Mowe will have' to Send a practically green team, against the strong Ohio school. Coach Mowe Is determined to hold the inter-class track meet this week. Earlham is scheduled for the first track meet of the season against Cincinnati university at Carson Field Saturday afternoon and the inter-class track meet is needed to bring out the best track material for the meet. Mowe has a line upon a relative value of the different candidates but expects the track meet to prove his choipe. If the fates and the weatherman are favorable, the meet will be held Wed nesday afternoon. Later than that 'will not do, as the thinly clads will need at least two days to rest up be fore the Cincinnati clash. Yesterday's Games NATIONAL LEAGUE. At New York R. H. E.

The champion Chicago team of the American league and the Boston Americans each won twice with no defeats. The National league teams, on the whole, out batted and outscored the American leaguers', but the latter were steadier in the field. The New York and Chicago Nationals, generally among the leaders, are in last place. In the National league Cincinnati hit Alexander of Chicago freely on opening day and took the next two games by coupling hits with Cub errors. Chicago lost its fourth straight game yesterday, when Alexander failed against St. Louis. Boston tried a recruit. Eayrs, successfully against New York and also capturea a 1-0 pitchers' battle between Oeschger and Toney.

The Pirates came out on top three times, Carlson and Ponder each blanking the Cardinals. Brooklyn and Philadelplria shared two games in which 26 runs and 44 hits were made. The Superbas and Quakers continued their hard batting yesterday and defeated Boston and New York respectively. Good pitching gave the Chicago Americans two victories over Detroit. Williams struck out eight on the open ing day, while Cicotte showed good form in Saturday's shutout.

and S. Howard Voshell. It is an odd coincidence ' that Richards defeated Tilden in the final match for the title last year and these same two men won the doubles title, defending it again this year. Tilden has been one of the ranking tennis stars for several seasons. He was placed second in 1918 and 1919. He won the national clay court title in 1918. He was runner up for the national title last season, being beaten in the final by William M. Johnston, 64, 64, 63. He is known as one of the most versatile players in the game.

POTATO PRICES DUE TO SCARCITY, SAY DEALERS SEYMOUR, Ind., April 19 The price of potatoes is unusually high because of a shortage and not because of speculation or market manipulation, according to local retailers in answer to the movement started here among housewives to refrain from buying potatoes until the price is reduced. The potato boycott is growing here and many housewives ' have pledged themselves not to buy them until the price drops. Spuds are retailing around $5 A bushel. Farmers who have raised potatoes for commercial purposes in former years declare that they will plant only enough for their own use because of the exhorbitant prices charged for seed stock.

They were together frequently while Judge Abbott was a resident of Richmond. "Certainly a kind hearted man and one who had friends everywhere," said A. C. Lindemuth. "He occupied my building for a number of years while serving as justice of peace, and I found him always a just and genial man. He was a good judge of the law and had a store of common sense. He made an excellent justice of peace. By the children he was especially ad mired. He would always stop and talk to a group of children going along the street, and invariably won their confidence."
