RICHMOND TITLE IS
AT STAKE SATURDAY
HomebuiIders Play Kocen's Boosters
for Dixie City" Championship.
Both Good Teams.

Richmond. Va. Aug A.-The Home
builders, champions of the Commercial
League, and the Kocen's Boosters, the
winners of the flag in the Central League
will battle at Byrd Street Park, in Rich
mond. Saturday afternoon, in double
header to decide who will represent the
Dixie city in the games with Washing
ton and Baltimore.
Both teams won their double-headera
last Saturday, the first named defeating
the Stockton street nine of the Sunday
School League. and the latter beating the
Folarines. of the Richmond League.
According to the opinion Of the fans
who have followed the amateur baseball
IN Richmond from its infancy the Home
builders have about the best amate "
baseball team that has ever competed
for the Richmond intercity championship
or that ever represented the Dixie city in
the mtcrcity contests.
In JolliT and Sanderson the Builders
have two pitchers on whom they can de-
pend. Both hurlers have pitched great
ball this season. and JoIlT added an
other feather in his cap Saturday when
he relieved Sanderson after the first in
ming of the second game and came
through with his second victory of the
OaN, as ne Hdu won tue ilTSl SdIlle LOT
them.
In addition to having two good pitch
ers, the Homebuilders have one of the
best catchers that has ever caught in
this city. Rex Tignor is his name. and
he necds no introduction t. the amateur
fans OF Washington. having been mem
Der OF the Richmond Grays. Alcos and
Portner teams.
Another feature OF the Homebuilders
is their ability to hit when men are on
the bases. This fact was fully demon
strated saturday afternoon at Byrd
Park in their double victory.
From a reliable source comes the re-
port that the Richmond Amateur Athletic
Federation would consolidate before next
season rolls around; that is, as far as
the baseball end is concerned. For a
long while it has been noticeable that this
city can support only one OrSanization.
and the consolidation Of the two organ
izations would mean the very best pos
Sible move that could be brought about.
Whether or not the two organizations
consolidate. they will play a series of
rames against each other at the close of
this season TO determine the City cham
pions The winners of the baseball
championship in the Richmond Amateur
baseball Commission and the winners OF
the championship in the federation Will
play a series, the dates to be decided
upon later.

R0SEDALE PLAYERS
NOT YET ELIGIBLE
Playing Of Vernstein and Albaugh
Entirely Up to Manager Junghans,
as Board Has Not Acted.

The board of governors of the Amateur
Baseball Association has made no de-
cision in reference to the playing of Nern-
stein and Albaugh the two protested
players Of the ROsedale team. The Rose
dale management was asked week ago
to show reasons why these men should
play with his club but no reasons were
forthcoming. The association at a meet
ing on the Rosedale Fairgrounds yester-
day put the entire playing of these play
ers UP to Manager JUnghan, of the Rose
dale team.
ATbaugh has been protested for play
ing professional ball with the Hopewell
team Of the Virginia League. The player
under protest claims this is not so and
the Holy Name Club, which is protest
ing. will be compelled to furnish evidence
that he has played. Nernstein is under
protest by the Holy Name management
for playing with three different teams
Of three different leagues. As he failed
to play with the last named club this end
Of the protest was waived and he Is now
under the knife because of not having
played the required number OF games
with the Rosedale team.
Manager Junhans states that ne can
rrove that Vernstein played the required
f.umber Of games according to the rules
nf the, local association. in reference to
The eligibility of a player. II Nernstein
md klhauCh are played by the RosedaIe
I-arn the result Of these protests will rest
c.tfrelv with Manager Junghans, as the
:,-S1riatiOn will throw out all the games
g. which these players participate, pro-
,iring that they are found ineligible.
Many of the fans may be of the Opin-
,, 'Htt the association is holding up the
T.-edale team on this proposition. but
80 is entirely i'm the hands Of the manage
r-.1t Of the ROsedale team to prove that
rI,.-a u1cn are eligible according to the
Jules which govern the games and the
-,.lr or Manager JUnghans settles the
...lrs'io1 tho better for his team. as they
~ro NOW without the services Of two Of
rn.. best pitchers in the city and are play
i-r under quite handicap.

BrolUns Trim Nationals
White Sox Lose-Rosedale Club in the Lead
Davenport Stumbling Block;
Nationals Are Beaten, 4 to 1
Browns Get to Harper for
Three Tallies in the
Opening Chapter.
FIELDING IS BRILLIANT
By WILLIAM PEET.

Dave Davenport had something on the
ball yesterday that the Grifmen could
not hit-good speed and a nifty curve
that's why the Nationals lost the second
game of the series against the st. Louis
Browns, 4 to l.
Opposed to Davenport was Harry Har-
per, who formerly has been effective
against Fielder Jones' crew, but the
Browns jumped on Harper for a trio
of tallies in the first inning, and this
lead was sufficient.
The game itself was interesting and
full of sensational fielding plays. Off
Harper the Browns obtained nine hits,
but half a dozen of these came during
the first three innings while the five
blows credited the-home folks were so
widely scattered that only in one inning
did big Davenport court trouble, the
sixth. when the Nationals averted a
shutout.
The Browns looked good because Dav-
export twired great ball. Dave was
steady as a clock, only allowing one base
on balls, and in addition he was accorded
almost perfect support. the only error
charged the Browns being a slip-up by
Shotton in the seventh inning, when
Gharrity's single shot through Bert's
legs for an extra base.
The Browns took advantage of a cou-
pie of scratch hits in the first inning to
score runs. Shotton opened with a
grounder to Morgan which Ray played
badly, giving the st. Louis speed mer-
chant a life" Miller. attempting to bunt,
droppe dinky fly over Shanks' head
as Howard dashed in for a supposed
grounder. Borton's sacrifice, advanced
both runners, and then came Derrill
Prat with sure enough safe wallop
driving the ball safely to left field and
scoring both Shotton and Miller. Pratt
pulled up on second when Jameson
threw poorly TO the plate and scored
when Elmer Smith dropped SEVERED s
easy pop fly.
Behind htree-run lead Davenport
pitched fine ball The Nationals could
do little against him until the third. when
John Henry scratched a single to center,
but John never saw second, as the fol-
lowing batters died in turn.
Joe Judge doubled with one down in the
NTH. but pcrished on second base. The
Nationals finally came across with a tally
in the sixth. Shanks humping triple TO
the scorebOard and breezing in when
Milan singled past Lavan.
The Browns added marker in the
third. a walk to Borton. the first man UP.
proving fatal. for Marsans singled and
Jimmy Austin poked a safety to left,
turning the trick.
Washington had only a limited number
of opportunities to score runs. Charity,
with two down in the seventh. singled to
left and reached second on Shotton's
tumble, but Harper could not put him
over.

ball and Sawyer was ordered to run for
