Was Disastrous, Team
Hopes to Make Good.
VAN VERT HERE FOR SERIES

Manager Jessup and his bunch of
wandering Quakers returned home last
evening after a disastrous absence Of
three days in Huntington. No game

enough to raise the time honored Wa
bash river about a foot.
The boys are not the least discour-
aged by their poor getaway and they
are confident that, beginning with this
afternoon. they will start a winning
streak which will make all the other
teams in the league sit up and take no.
tce.
In the game this afternoon Fleming
will be on the mound for the locals.
while Hunt or Howard will probably
work for Van Vert. Van Vert will
also be the attraction here Saturday
and Sunday. All spring the Quakers
have been up against it on the wealth
er proposition and the team needs the
support Of the fans. especially the
financial support. To show that the
fans OF this city appreciate the efforts
of the Richmond Amusement company
TO give the people a fast article Of
league ball, all fans should turn out in
force at each game OF the Van Vert Sc
ries. today, tomorrow and Sunday.

Manager Jessup today and this after
noon he will be seen in right field.

Manager Jessup is highly pleased at
securing the services of this clever
player. Jim Cameron will be back at

Tick Conner. the Dublin singer. was

Conner has the speed and curves and
as soon as he learns to locate the plate
he will be a valuable member OF any

been unable to acquire the control of
the ball.
There will be a harvest in store for
the first local player that makes a
home run at Athletic park. The Felt
man shoe store has offered $500 pair
Of shoes TO any Quaker who blasts out

The resounding washboiler has been
attached to Umps Merkle, the human
sparrow, who OffiCiated at the two
opening league games in this city Here
in Richmond the fans took him as a
good joke. but the Van Vert fans seem
to have taken him seriously and the
Van Vert Bulletin Indignantly re-
marks:
Umpire Merkle held the Indicator
and proved himself the poorest Judge
of play that ever filled a duty of the
kind in this town. His Judgment on
balls and strikes was wholly lacking of
judgment and gave rise to the suspi-
ciOn, Van Vert and Muncie suffering
alike, that the young man is SO short
of vision that he would have to be as
sisted home in event of his release
1t is not often that local fans assert
themselves against the umpire, but
Merkles work is of the calibre that
robs the game of all its sport, for nei-
Their team is safe at any stage and the
danger exists constantly of a we'll
earned victory being thrown away
through his inability to see plays as
they actually occur.
Now that Hans LObert has developed
into one of the stars of the game, and
because Johnny Kane is one of the SEN
sations of the game at the present time
Cincinnati is figuring on trading one
or both of them.
