Cap" White. the big right handler.
who was the star twirler of the Earl
ham ball team this year. and who
graduated from that institution last
month, is to be given a trial in profess
sional company by Manager Jessup.
White is big, well built young man.
He has speed to burn. good control and
nice assortment of curves. Several
weeks ago Richmond travelled to Reid
field to teach the college boys how to
play the game The locals met Mr..
White. and the big fellow fed them
crow from his hand. The professio.a ls
were absolutely powerless to do any
thing with his delivery. He is cool
and steady and a hard worker. Mem
bers of the local team all have nice
things to say about him and predict
that he will make good. Manager
Jessup has telephoned White at his
home in Carthage, Ind. telling him to
report as soon as possible. If White
makes good it will mean Fishers re-
tention at third base and a pitching
staff composed of Moore, Fleming and
White
Game Called Off.
Owing to the big cloud leak Thurs
day. the game scheduled with Portland
at Athletic park was called off. Man
ager Jessup sent telegram to the
Jays early in the morning calling off
the game. but they had left for this
city before the wire was received. Con-
sequently when they arrived here they
had to turn around and go right back
) faf
that the Portland outfit is in league
with the Rain Maker. One series of
games with the Jays was played off
early in the season without the big
wet interfering-but Mr.. Winter was
prominent spectator. Since then at
tempts have been made to play off
Quaker-Jay contests here but cloud
bursts have always washed these
games away. In the future if the Jays
visit here we would advise Manager
Jessup to either get out an injunction
against the Weather man or to have
Athletic park declared Dry ward.
Game On Today.
This afternoon at $50 o'clock there
will be Richmond Kokomo mixup at
Athletic park. The same teams will
hook up again at Athletic park Satur-
day afternoon. Moore is scheduled to
work against the Combines this after
noon and Fleming will work Saturday.
These will be two good contests and
if the weather permits should attract
good crowds.
Ritter Is Crippled.
Thomas Ritter. demon center field
er and two base hit swatter of note. is
Iimping about with spawned limb.
The New Castle Rabbit allowed one of
his pins to come in contact with a
pitched ball during the second Van
Vert game. The pin went to the hos
pital and the ball to the repair shop.
Two veterinaries labored with the dis
mantled prop Thursday and Thomas
will be able to continue biting dou-
bles and fitting about center terrace
without the aid of crutches.
For Batting Honors.
Cameron. Jessup and Justice are
having a stiff scrap for batting hon
ors All three are singing the ball
hard at the present time, especially
Cameron. The first baseman had a
hit famine for short time. but he is
now back in form again and is getting
his regularly. James is also playing
his position in most acceptable man
ner Justice has been clouting the |
ball in a most reliable manner for two
