GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug g.
Twelve solid blows from the offerings
of Cy Young put Bill Essick's Blacs
Sox in the lead in the first game of the
Richmond series here yesterday after
noon, and won the game for Grand
Rapids, 3 to !.
Richmond put up good game, and
touched Steve Meter for eight safe
ties, but the fact that Grand Rapids
has the better ball team was shown
conclusively to the fans yesterday, by
the better playing Of Essick's men
Grand Rapids fans could write volumes
on How to Win in Bush League
and get all their information from the
Grand Rapids club
Richmond's batting order looked
somewhat better than it did on the
last road trip, when practically every
game was lost, and the eight swats
collected by the boys from Meters
soup wing. gives the Quakers an oppor-
tunity to hope for a victory when they
use pitcher that has more luck than
Young.

ust 16, at Exhibition park.
This game was arranged when it
was learned that it would be impossi-
BILE to get the Cincinnati Reds here
for an exhibition game on Tuesday,
August 14th.
The Browns have been going badly
of late, but nevertheless are scrappy
bunch of ball players. They draw
about as well as any club in the Ban
Johnson circuit and should prove a
big attraction here.
SisIer To Be Here.
Sisler is regarded as one of the
greatest players of the day. He
started out as a pitcher. but was such
terrific hitter that Branch Hickey,
president of the st. Louis Cardinals,
but former manager of the Browns.
switched George to first base. He can
do everything but catch. Lavan is a
remarkably fine player, too, and got

his start among the sand lots OF Mich
igan.
Another promising youth who VIII
come here will be Ernie Johnson,
brother Of George Johnson. now in
town umpiring the Central league.
Ernie started out with the Chicago
White Sox, then went to Los Angeles,
jumped TO the st. Louis Feds and has
been with the Browns since organized
ball put the third major league out OF
business. He is an infielder and may
be seen at either second or third base.
All the regulars will be on hand, as the
contract so specifies.
Tickets that have been sold here
for the Cincinnati game will be good
for the Browns game. and no new
tickets will be issued. :
