SOME FAN FODDER.


The Royals, who claim the independ-
ent championship of Cincinnati. and
who were unable to play last Sunday
because Of the rain. will probably. be
given another date. The All Kentuck-
ians, whose game two weeks ago was
postponed because of the high cold
wind, have joined the Kio league and
will have no more open dates until
late In the season. They may come to
Richmond before the season closes, but
for the present they have their hands
full. The Kio teams are much
stronger this year than last and Man.
ager Drees will have to hustle to keep
out OF the cellar. Hamilton and the
Dayton Shilohs are bidding for the
pennant.
The Norwood, O., Blues. who held
the Colts Of the Cincinnati National
league squad to q 8 to 2 score. several
weeks ago, are booked to play. here
May %. Other teams scheduled to
meet the Quakers are as follows: Dun
kirk, with four ex-laguers, including
several Indiana Ohio, league players;
the Springfield. o., Reds; the Taste
Tells, OF Indianapolis: the Cincinnati
Muldoons and others. Connersville.
New Castle and Cambridge City will
all be accommodated later in the sea-
son.
Interest IN the curtain raiser series
for the City championship is second
onl yto that in the big games. The
exhibition between the National and
the X. Y. z. team Sunday afternoon at
1:l6 o'clock, will no doubt attract a
large crowd OF the friends Of the
youngsters. 5. #

work against the Indianapolis Gold
Medals, was 90 satisfactory has been

able right-handed HEAVIER will consti-
tute the locals pitching staff as long
as they can stand the gait. The re-
mainder Of the team will be expected
to do its share OF winning, and the
pitcher will not be made to carry an
unusual burden.
Jocko Weaver has been appointed
captain Of the team. Jocko Is q IA

although not the slugger he once was,
still plays a matchless fielding game.
