A number of shifts and changes will
be made in the lineups of the eight S.
A. l.. teams in the games Saturday
which promise to make all of the
games faster. The poorer players are
gradually being eliminated and new
players who show ability are being
placed on the lineups.
The teams are becoming better bal
anced each week and the interest is
growing continually. The Natco team
has been reinforced with several new
players who are experienced and it is
believed their losing streak will be
broken tomorrow with victory. None
of the teams are out of the running,
since only five games have been play
ed to date and no team has more than
a one game lead on another.
Enthusiasm is rampant at McGuires
and last Saturday a large number of
hooters" were present to witness the
game. This team is now leading the
league. The game tomorrow between
the McGuires and the A., S. NJ prom
ises to be a fast affair. Taggart, who
pitched for the all-star team against
Muncie last Sunday, is pitching for
the A. S. MS and is putting up fast
article of ball.

SIGN LONG TO HURL
.CONNERSV VILE GAME

With Chick Long at the pivot
! position Sunday, Richmond is deter
| mined to give Connersville some of
their own medicine at Athletic park
| to even up the defeat administered
the Quakers last Sunday at Corners
vile.
Word was received by the local club
this morning from Manager sKenney,
| that Chick Long has been signed for
the game Sunday and will again ap-
pear in Richmond uniform. Long
pitched for the team early in the
season and made a wonderful show
ing. He has been on the reserve list
Of the Three league for the past
three weeks but was released tempo
rarily for the game Sunday. Kenny
has been after him for several weeks
and had a hard time getting him.
Vordenburg will be on the bench.
Although he pitched an excellent game
against the Elmwoods week ago Sun
day, he weakened in the game with
Connersville Sunday and Kenney is
afraid to risk him again. Don Meter,
another former player of the Rich
mond team, will appear in right field
Sunday to take the place of Mccain.
McCann's slump in the last few weeks
has necessitated change in that
position and local fans are satisfied
with the choice of Meter, who has
been playing with the Maysville, KY,
team.
Connersville is coming loaded up
with determination to repeat the
trick of last week. Keifell, catcher
and field-manager of the Connersville
Grays, has been in Cincinnati all week
getting new players. 1t is expected
that even a stronger bunch will face
the locals here than the team last
Sunday. A special train will be run
from Connersville, via Rushville, Sun
day morning, and it is reported that
more than $50 rooters will accompany
the team here.
Outside of Long and Meter, the
Richmond team will lineup the same
as last week, with Meter leading Off
