BIG BASEBALL BOOM THIS SUMMER SEEMS ASSURED FOR CITY Baseball promises to boom this summer in Richmond, especially in the amateur ranks, according to plans now being made by the Community Service. Efforts will be made by P. H. Slorum, executive secretary of the organization, to organize three leagues thi3 summer. Included in this league will be the Fraternal, Public Utilities and Commercial leagues.

If enough interest can be aroused in the organizations these three leagues will give every person in the city who

cares to play the national game a chance to get into action. From pres

ent indications the success of the

leagues Is assured. The Fraternal league will be composed of the fraternities of the city.

Many of the organizations have teams j jnianapolis 2

organized and are willing to enter into

such a league. These teams will play the game for the idea of winning the pennant and will recruit the very best teams obtainable. Teams that probably will enter the league are Eagles' Degree team, Klwanis club, Moose lodge, Phi Delta Kappa fraternity, Omricon Pi Sigma fraternity, Y. M. C. A., Motorcycle club. Farm Bureau, K. of C. American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Commercial League In the Commercial league two divisions may be organized, one to play after working hours in the evening and one to play on Saturday afternoon. These leagues will be organized with the same purpose as the Fraternal league, to get the best players possible and make every effort to cop the pennant. Possibilities for this league are: Maher Meats, Bakers, Bankers, Himes, Starr Piano, Business College, Florists, Hill's Laddies, Starr Park A. C, Piston Ring, Indianapolis Gloves, Swayne- Robinson, International Harvester, Wayne Works, Easthaven. The Public Utilities league will be organized for the purpose of playing ball for the love of the game and not with the idea of obtaining the best playtrs In the city. The teams wilt stay strictly within the organization

which the team represents. This

league will play after working hours

In the evening. The teams that would form this league are: Telephones, City Light plant. Fire department, . Policemen, Press, Pennsylvania yards. The Pennsy could no doubt enter two or three teams In the leagues. Meeting Tuesday A "meeting of all the managers or men interested in the formation of these leagues will be held Tuesday night in the Community Service rooms at 7 o'clock. Any organization interested in entering a team In any of the leagues this summer is asked to have some representative attend this meeting. It will be possible to have the three leagues this summer due to the fact that a new ball park is to be erected at the Glen Miller park this spring. The addition of this diamond will permit two games to be played each night after working hours. ? One of the best diamonds in the city is located at Easthaven and will make a good place for Saturday afternoon teams to play. Easthaven will play all its games on this diamond. Games also may be played on the Playground diamond on Saturday afternoon. There will also be the diamond at the Glen and -Exhibition park, which makes it possible for four games to be played on Saturday. It is doubtful if the playgrounds will be obtainable until after school is out the latter part of May, as the high school is entering a team in the field this season and is using the diamonds daily.

EARLHAM TRAGKSTERS PREPARE TO COMBAT DEPAUW, SATURDAY

GEORGE KELLY SLAMS FIRST CIRCUiT CLOUT

CBv Associated Prpss) NEW YORK, April 17. George Kelly, 1921 National league home run champion, tallied his first 1922 circuit drive in the Giant-Brave game yester- ' day at the Polo grounds Long George's wallop was made off one of the curves of Dick Rudolph, one of the old hurling masters essaying a comeback. Dick, who once made history with George Stallings' "miracle team," seemed destined to succeed when he faltered, after holding the Giants at bay for six innings. Babe Ruth, the exiled Yankee, rejoined his team for a day at Baltimore and connected for a homer in an exhibition game against the Orioles. The White Sox won the first extra inning game of the major league sea

son from the Tigers, 7 to 6. The Washington Senators, in losing to the Ath

letics, made six errors. Pitcher Harris fanned eight Washington batsmen.

Baseball Veterans Think

of Anson and Old Days

(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. April 17. Pop Anson's death in Chicago has caused baseball veterans here to turn back the pages

of time to the years when a major

baseball club was more like a crowd

of mischievous schoolboys who spent

their time on and off the field teasing

a good-natured taskmaster.

Anson's demise also brought to light the fact that Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis was preparing to create some position in his retinue for the "daddy of baseball" and that he had

discussed the proposal with Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Nationals during the training season

in the south.

In revealing this information McGraw told how Anson had declined of

fers of leagues and clubs to designate a day to celebrate him and to fill his J : empty purse with the gate receipts for many unfortunate ventures has swallowed the funds the veteran accumulated in his prime. "He was too proud to accept it," McGraw ex- ; plained.

Kilbane's Price Chills

French Boxing Promoters PARIS, April 17. Johnny KJlbane, of Cleveland, world's champion featherweight pugilist, announced Saturday night to a group of French sportsmen that he was willing to meet Eugene Criqui, French bantamweight champion.

REAL CHANCE TO STAR Has Bing Miller, outfielder Connie Mack got from Clark Griffith in that three-cornered deal with the Red Sox last winter in which Roger Peckinpaugh went from Bosting town to Washington. And Miller deserves the chance. He's one of those birds overlooked by fate, who has played good ball and struggled valiantly for years without drawing well earned praise. Miller got his baseball start out in Iowa and went from there to Atlanta. The war then interrupted Mi diamond career and when peace caia he rejoined the Georgia club. He got a brief trial with Detroit, but drew no notice except the one to pack up. When Connie bought half the Atlanta team to look it over two years ago he didn't include Bing in the list obtained. Atlanta didn't even want him. In 1920 he signed with Little Rock

and when the smoke cleared away

that fall he ranked fifth in hitting

with a mark of .322 and had fielded

brilliantly. Griffith grabbed him that

fall.

His real name's Edmund B. Miller.

He got the "Bing" from the way he walloped the ol' apple.

The Reds finally broke into the win

column Saturday afternoon and scored

a total of eight runs on seven hits

This is something unusual for them, as they most always need a dozen hits

to get three or four.
