REDS ON TOP OF HEAP, ENJOY HOLIDAY; TO , PLAY BOSTON NEXT
BROOKLYN. N. Y- Jnns 16 Bo U ever so difficult the Reds urually manage to pome to the top of the National league about twice a month. Sort of breathing spelL Wednesday is a holiday for the Reds. Dodgers and St j Louis Cards. Thus the strenuously acquired top rung la safe for one day. The Champa are scheduled for two games at Boston Thursday, one to be played in the morning. The occasion la Bunker Hill Day. Walter Reuther had an easy time winning his 11th game at the expense of Brooklyn Tuesday. The slugging Champa connected with 10 runs while the Dodgers made but five. The enemy score would probably have been kept smaller had not the Reds compiled the huge lead. The score: Cincinnati. AB. R. BH. PO. A. E.

EAGLES WILL PLAY CAPITAL'S MERITS Sunday's baseball program at Exhibition Park has the Indianapolis Merits clashing with the Richmond Eagles. The Indianapolis team will probably be the fastest team to appear here so far this season. Although the Eagles lost to the Dayton Rubbers last Sunday, rain is believed to have caused the defeat. M inner was going strong when the game was called. Jones, Dayton pitcher, was being hit hard and frequent. However, fans are satisfied with the performance. Sunday's game is expected to give fans a real baseball treat. The Merits have been going great this season. They have the same team that finished a very successful year in 1919. There will be several changes in the Eagle line-up Sunday. Hewitt, out- ! fielder, failed to materialize. He will be benched. It is possible that one infield position will be changed. Milton Stock. Milton Stock of the Cardinals Isn't leading the old league in swatting, but he's right up among 'em and has furnished some of the early season's fireworks. Stock swatted the pitchers as they came in 13 consecutive games at one stretcli this season before Grover Alexander got his goat one day and turned him back every time. Stock broke into pro ball after leaving St. Ignatus college. He joined the Fon du Lac club in the WisconsinIllinois league in 1911 and was drafted by the Giants the next season. They sent him to Buffalo under option, recalled him the next season and then shipped him to Mobile late in 1913. Back to the big town went Stock aajaln in 1914 to cavort, at third base in 113 ball games. Sf .k showed the Giant fans some mighty good infielding and he hit around .260. The following season McGraw sent him to the Phils In a trade for Adams, Lobert and Demaree. lie played the same bag there until he was traded to the Cardinals a year ago. He is rated as one of tho steadiest infielder in the biz and a timely hitter. PORTLAND WANTS GAMES WITH BOY BASEBALLERS Richmond boy baseball tcaiys, whose players do not exceed 17 years of age. are challenged to play the Portland. Indiana, boy's baseball team at Portland. The Richmond team accepting the challenge are to write to Ralph Oren, at Portland. Transportation will be paid by Portland. CARNIVAL DRAWS MANY; UNDER AUSPICES OF PRINTERS' UNION Great success is reported by tho typographical union of Richmond for the first half's showing of Veal Brothers' carnival which will continue at the carnival grounds on South Twenty-second street all this week. The crowd Tuesday night was the largest ever attending a similar event here, said members of the union Wednesday, and there was a big crowd Monday night, in spite of the rain.
THE RICHMOND- PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELBGRAM, RICHMOND.UND, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16,
I IT POSSIBLE WHEM DID IT TENNIS PLAYERS TO ASK COURT FUNDS Three hundred dollars is all that stands between four splendid tennis courts in Glen Miller park and the host of tennis players in Richmond. To remove the obstruction, a committee has been formed to make a canvass of Richmond for the funds. This committee is composed of James Harrington, Ollie Otten, Burr Simmons, Ed Wilson, Richard Thornburg, Robert Phillips, Wilson Taggart, Frank Holland, the Rev. James Ryan, the Rev. C. R. Isley, John Retbmeyer and "John Holaday. Miss Margaret Wickemeyer and Miss Emily Parker are girl members of tho committee. The Richmond board of public works gave tennis players right to raise the funds to pay for installation of tho four courts in Glen Miller park. The city will put in the courts and also keep tho courts in repair, when once installed, Ed Hollarn, superintendent of parks, says there is ample room for erection of dressing rooms in the Glen greenhouse. DEMPSEY IS READY TO MEET CARPENTER (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, June 16 Jack Kearne, manager for Jack Dempsey, heavyweight pugilistic champion of the world, announced today that Dempsey would be ready within two weeks to meet Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight or "he will fight any one else in the world if Carpentier is unwilling to talk fight.'' Labor day was suggested as the date for the proposed contest. Kearns issued a. statement aserting that Dempsey's acquittal yesterday of a draft evasion charge in the United States district court here left his record clear and that "there could be no more whispered campaign carried on about him." He said he and the champion needed a two week's rest after the strain of tho trial and then they would be ready to arrange for a bout with the Frenchman. Kearn's statement in part, said: "Now Georges Carpentier, we're ready. If you have eome to America to fight, here's your chance. Jack Dempsey is free and ready to meet you tnywhere in the world. The chance you have been asking for a crack at the title is yours. The next move is also yours." Old Dope Hesitatingly Thinks Suburban Race Is Between 3 of 10 Teams Old Man Dopebucket may sometimes receive awful wallops and get kicked all over the sport page, yet as a rule he is a pretty reliable old vagabond. And when he come forth with the prediction that the Suburban league will be a race between Centerville, Richmond All-Starrs and Eldorado, not much dissention is raised. Of course any of the other seven teams may slam the dope. That is to be expected. Dope gets his inside information on the three mentioned teams from performances this season. Centerville trimmed the Shamrocks, June 6, by a 10 to 6 count. Whitewater won from ihe Shamrocks, 7 to 6 last Sunday. Thus Centerville appears to have the edge. The All-Starrs won their first game from Lynn. They had Boston trimmed 15 to 10 at the end of four innings last Sunday. Then it rained. The game does not count. Eldorado won its first game and then trimmed the Richmond Miller-Kempers, 16 to 1 last Sunday. New Potatoes Getting More Plentiful, But No Drop in Prices is Resulting Alabama and Florida are the two states from which Richmond is now receiving new potatoes. A little later the Carolinas will also be in market. States farther west are getting new potatoes from Texas and Louisiana. The price per barrel varies, according to size and quality. One wholesaler quoted $16.50 per barrel for No. 1 and $14 for No. 2. Another quotes $16.50 and $15.50 for his two grades. "The smaller potatoes are less 'mature, are more watery," said one grocer. This price prevails today in most all Richmond groceries. You take your choice, in the meantime new potatoes are becoming more plentiful day by day and old stock is getting harder to sell. At the same time good cold storage potatoes are still quoted at $8 to $8.50 per hundred In Wisconsin and Michigan. BAXTER BEATS WHITEWATER IN PLAYGROUND GAME The first inter-playground baseball game of the season resulted in a five to two victory for Baxter over Whitewater, Tuesday afternoon. Baxter outplayed the losers, making 11 hits to four for Whitewater. Both teams made two bobbles. Wilson played tho best game for Baxter, while Miller starred for Whitewater. A Fort Worth, (Texas) saloon keeper, who was peeved at first when prohibition stopped his business, made his place a restaurant instead and got much patronage.

IT! -V Tennis New "National Game" Booms in the City This Year; Tourneys To Be Hot Ones This will be the most successful year for tennis Richmond has ever experienced, according to early season dope. Great enthusiasm prevails among experienced players and numerous novices. Local sports goods dealers say that several persons purchase tennis outfits each day. The annual tennis championship late in August should be a record breaker. Last year's doubles champs, the Rev. Isley and John Holaday, have been putting in good licks every afternoon at their west side court. Shel Simmons, twice singles, champion of Richmond, has been driving 'em around the court this year. George Eversman has been showing great form. Roland Keys, Bill Keys, Dick Thornburg, Frank Holland, Jim Harrington and other crack players have also been going good. May Enter State Tourney. Several Richmond tennis players have declared intention of entering state meets in August. Dick Thornburg will enter the junior championship. Keith King and Lewis Wilson will enter the boy's championship. Simmons, Eversman and Harrington may enter the state tennis meet. It is almost impossible to get a court at the Twenty-Second street playgrounds. Numerous applicants are always on hand. They are there from early morn 'till darkness. The courts in Glen Miller park when completed, are expected to relieve this condition. Many Play Golf at Country Club; May Enter State Meet The golf links at the Richmond Country club are enjoying an unusual run of popularity this season. They are in use practically every day of the year, early mornings and late afternoons being most popular. The Richmond club probably will be represented at the state golf meet at Kokomo August 2 to 7. The Richmond entry lies between ;Burton Carr, Henry Goldfinger, Warren Clements, Wilbur Hibberd, John Poundstone, S. E. Swayne, Dudley Elmer, A. G. Mathews and Frank Holland. Extensive tennis plans are being outlined by a committee. These will not be ready for about 10 days, however. It is provable that a tennis tourney will be held. N. Y. SYMPHONY IN LONDON LONDON, June 1C The New York Symphony orchestra, of which Walter Damroscll is the director, opened a brief engagement Monday night before a representative audience.

Cut Down 'Phone Talk and Save Oceans of Time, Is Advice of Telephone Men If every one served by the Richmond Home Telephone company would cut down his telephone conversations one minute on each call, 24.4S0 minutes would be saved, it is estimated by telephone experts who have been studying the local situation. Investigation has brought to light the fact that the telephone company's traffic amounts to more than 81,000 calls a day, over twice as many as is considered average for an exchange of its size. "We must request our patrons to cut down the length of their calls," said William A. Bailey, general manager of the company, Tuesday. "Those who thoughtlessly visit for a long period over the telephone do

more to tie up the lines than the casual observer can imagine." Mr. Bailey explained that there are 100 lines on each switchboard, including 10 incoming and 10 outgoing trunks. Twenty per cent ot the total exchange subscribers can be cared for at once at the present time. When people needlssly hold up a switchboard with long conversations the result for the other subscribers is selfevident, he pointed out. Very few calls can be justifiably longer than five minutes, it is said. When longer it is usually for unnecessary reasons. The estimation that 24.4S0 minutes a day could be saved if every one iaved a minute on each call mean that 40S hours or 34 twelve-hour days could be saved every day.
