THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., MONDAY, OCT. 4, 1920.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4. Last year's champion Reds ended their 1920 season by suffering a defeat at the hands of the second division St. Louis Cardinals. The final contest of the year was well played and went 12 innlng3 before the Cards were able to bunch sufficient hits to down Monroe Swartz, Red recruit pitcher. The Reds should have copped the game in the regulation distance but slow fielding by Swartz allowed Burt Shotton to score from third ou the Second out in the ninth inning. North started for the Cardinals and remained in the game until taken out for a pinch hitter In the ninth inning, when Sherdel went in and pitched the remaining innings without allowing the semblance of a hit. Start Regular Lineup. The Reds started out with their regular lineup but several of the players traded places during the game but played errorless ball throughout. The Cards also sent in their regulars and went after the game as if it meant some thing in their young lives, although the result of yesterday's game could not change the standing of either team.

CLEVELAND DEPARTS A FOR OPENING GAME OF WORLD'S SERIES

(By Associated Press CLEVELAND, Oct. 4. Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, winners of the American league pennant, had his team at League Park this morning for a conference, during which he formulated his mode of attack against the Brooklyn Dodgers, the National League champions, in the coming world's series. The team arrived from Detroit last night and will leave for Brooklyn tonight, accompanied by many fans. Although Speaker would not announce definitely who his pitching selection will be in the first game tomorrow, it is likely that Jim Bagby, who won thirty-one games for the Indians this season, may be called upon. Stars Are Ready. Stanley Coveleskie and Walter Malls both are ready . and may be called upon if Speaker does not think Bagby has hed sufficient rest. Should Manager Robinson start one of his

left-handers in the box against Cleveland, Speaker may send his righthanded hitting crew, which worked so successfully in the Detroit and St. Louis series, into the line-up. That would mean George Burns on first, batting in the clean-up position, with Wood in right field. About eighty-five per cent of those fortunate enough to get tickets to the games to ho nlnvpd lipr'ft were notified of their

reservations today. N. S. Barnard, ? j . a .i ,i i . . i .

vice prffijufiii oi me vitM finu tiuu, announced that the remainder probably would be notified by tomorrow morning. Ready for Ticket Sale. Special arrangements have been made in the postoffice to speed up the delivery of all letters containing orders for tickets to the world's series. As a precaution aginst speculators, each envelope is stamped with a red number corresponding to the number of the application blank inside, records of which have been filed at the baseball park. When a fan calls for his tickets, he must take the numbered envelope and application with him. The application must bear the same handwriting as the signature to the original letter requesting reservations. New Madison-Eldorado Game Ends in Argument ELDORADO. O., Oct. 4 New Madtann and Eldorado ended their game

Sunday in a heated argument after 10 and one-half innings of play with the score tied. Tips of New Madison was called oft at third in the eleventh inning on a close play. He protested vigorously as did his team mates, all of them finally refusing -to finish the contest. , The game was fast and brilliant fielding by both teams had brought much app'ause from the rooters. Hart'man, for New Madison, and Rogers for Eldorado, pitched high class ball. India has more than 130 varieties of the mango, all cultivated.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Oct. 4. Powers and authority that are vlstually autocratic are Invested in the National Baseball commission for the conduct of the world's series In order that the big games that annually wind up the reason shall be kept, as far as possible, free from scandal. During the recent grand Jury Investigation of baseball in Chicago the world's series of 1919 was mentioned in several instances, but the rules and' regulations governing the big games disclose the fact that safeguards are so thrown about the world's series as to make it' exceedingly dangerous to tamper with or endeavor to influence anything but an honest decision in the games. Three days before the beginning of the series each year the owners of the contesting clubs are obliged each to deposit with the National Commission a certified check for $10,000 as a guarantee of good faith, to play out the schedule so arranged by the commission and to abide by the rules and regulations. While it Is well known that under the present rules the championship

shall go to the club first winning five

mission has the right to terminate the series at any time it deems the interest of baseball demands it. Another safeguard is the provision that prohibits either club participating in the world's series from giving to any of its players a bonus or prize.

and any player released by either of

tne clubs to any other club in the league is prohibited from sharing in the receipts either as a present or reward. In order to prevent changes of players from one team to another to prepare for the world's series in the way of strengthening a team, a player to be eligible to take part in the championship games must be a bona fide member of the qualifying teams and under the promulgated playing contract on or before August 31. It is provided in the regulations that the teams participating in the world's series shall disband after the close of the series and as teams or individuals they are prohibited from playing exhibition games, during the remainder of the year. RICHMOND MAN WINS SECONDJNAIJTO RAGE Bill Hunt, of Indianapolis, driving a Craig-Hunt special, captured first place in the 25-mile dirt track race at the Eaton fair grounds Saturday afternoon when he drove the distance in 36 minutes and 23 seconds. Lew Wilson, of Richmond, sprung the big surprise of the day when he came in second driving a Chevrolet. Hunt was figured as the favorite before the race and came through in good style, winner of the three races of the day. Six cars were entered in the feature event, but only two finished. A large crowd attended the event, despite the cold weather The two perliminary races were won by Bill Hunt and Rife Manchester, respectively. Lew Wilson finished second in the second preliminary.

Before one of the largest crowds that has witnessed a semi-pro ball game in Richmond for several years the Eagle ball team staged a ninth inning rally, aided by a timely error, and managed to slip over a 1 to 0 victory on the fast Randolph County Greys, Sunday afternoon at Exhibition Park. The game was featured by high class pitching from both Skyock and Hawekotte, neither having more than one hit in an inning charged up against them. The Eagle Infield held up the best under the grueling Sunday that it has during the past few weeks and brilliant catches were pulled by Minner at short and Schepmann, the left garden. Six double plays were pulled during the game and several of these came at times that meant the plugging up of a dangerous hole. Things Looked Bad. Things looked bad for the local pitcher in the first inning when he walked E. Clark and Raney after one man was o.ut. L. Clark fanned but Tubey got - a single to right which

would have scored E. Clark but for the good throwing of Fitzgibbons, who cut the runner off at the plate. A double play executed by Minner, Byrkett and Haas in the sixth inning

again saved the day for the locals. Richmond scored the only tally with two down in the ninth inning. Hawekotte got a scratch hit to the short

stop and went to second on an error

by Tuhey. Fitzgibbons moved him up

a notch with a fielders choice. Schep

man filed out. Logan hit a hot one to Clements who hobbled long enough for Hawekotte to scamper home with

the deciding marker. May Meet Again.

This makes a game each for the two

teams and it may be possible for them

to meet again before cold weather

stops the season. A good game has

been furnished the fans on both occa

sions.

Next Sunday Centervllle will play the Eagles at Exhibition Park, in a

game supposed to settle the championship of the county. The local team is figured as a heavy favorite in this contest. Sunday's score: EAGLES AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Legion Football Teem Rapidly Acquiring Form Scrimmage was held by the American Legion football team at the Playground Sunday morning. The team is getting into good working trim and will bo in fair shape for the opening contest with Shelbyville next Sunday afternoon. Elbert Hale, who has been trying out for the end position, received a broken shoulder in the practice and will be out of the game for the rest of the season. The Legion backfleld is one of the bright lights of the squad. The line is comparatively light for an independent aggregation, only averaging about 160 pounds. A signal practice will be held at the South Tenth street park, Wednesday evening. This will probably be the last workout for the squad before they stack up in their opener Sunday.

Playing a slow, methodical game and using only about half a dozen plays the Earlham football team plowed through Hanover for a 28 to 3 victory on Reid Field Saturday afternoon. Earlham scored its first touchdown six minutes after the first whistle had sounded and from the first time they received ball to the close of the game it was clearly evident that the Quakers were a superior eleven. Hanover did not come up to expectations in point of size, the Husky Hoosiers, as they are known in their neck of the woods, were far from husky and looked small beside the heavy Earlham line. The game was frequently halted by both teams showing that neither were in the best condition. Paul Gordon, Earlham right tackle, and captain of last year's team, received a wrenched knee on the third down and was forced out of the game. He will probably be out of the game for two weeks. Hinshaw, local quarterback, was easily the star of the game. . He handled his team in good manner and tore off some good end runs. His handling of the team was good because of varied attack when at crucial

points in the game. Girton, the big freshman fullback, had an easy time plowing through the light Hanover line. When a gain of five yards was needed he could be counted on to score this with ease, continuing his progress with half the Hanover team

clinging to him.

The playing of Nicholson, Bookout

and Hall on the line stood out, as did

the punting of Johnson. The center

of the line seemed to be the big weak

ness and Hanover's two first downs

were made through the center. Earl

ham tried six forward passes and com

pleted four of them each for substantial gains.

Hanover was held scoreless until

about two minutes before the close of the last quarter when Earlham

lumbleL.a punt and Hanover recover

ed and made a first down bringing the ball in front of their goal post on the thirty-five yard line. Culbertson placed a perfect place kick between the goals for the visitors' only points. Earlham plays Wilmington at Wilmington next Saturday. This game is not exacted to prove very difficult for the Quakers after the severe drubbing given Wilmington by Franklin Saturday.
