BOOSTER BUTTONS
out; FANS URGED
TO SUPPORT GAME

Baseball fans of the community Will
have an opportunity now to show
their willingness to support the game
here Baseball Booster buttons, H.
900 OF them, were distributed by the
baseball committee Wednesday, ano
will be placed on sale by the 100 sales
men who have guaranteed the finances
of the game here.
No work toward the baseball league
will be started until the $4,000 flnd
is collected. AS soon as the fund is
collected, which will probably be by
Thursday morning, active work OF or.
ganizing the league will be started.
Members of the Richmond baseball
committee are planning TO call meet
ing of league heads here within the
week, in an effort to bring about some
understanding with regard to the cir
cult in which the city will be rep
resented.
May Rejuvenate Central.
An ideal league, in the opinion or
most fans here, would be consoH-
dalton Of the proposed Central and In
diana-Ohio circuits, taking eight. or
possibly 10 of the leading clubs in
ed Central league. Efforts to this end
probably will be made by Richmond
boosters when a league meeting is
called.
Mileage rates will figure largely in
the circuit including a Richmond club.
The mileage is ideal in the proposed
Indiana-Ohio circuit, but many of the
. cities in this circuit are new league
towns, and with new league, there
is some question as to whether a
league playing ball every day in the
week would be properly supported.
The Central league, however, is in
field that has already proven its
ability to support daily league games.
and except for the long trips into
Michigan, would be an ideal circuit
for Richmond to enter.
Would Be Ideal.
A league club, with Springfield, Fit
Wayne. Richmond, and Muncie or
Lima, O., with four Michigan cities. it
is believed. would furnish an ideal
attraction for all supporters of the
game.
None of the fund collected by the
Booster campaign will be used tC
. liquidate the old standing debt of the
Richmond Exhibition company at the
present time, a member Of that Organi
cation said Wednesday. The fund
will be used only to instill team and
secure the finances o. the club for
the season.
Profits from the league season will
he used to pay the old company s
debt. and the Booster fund will be
used to perpetuate the game here dur
ing coming years.

Duffy Lewis, staid old veteran of
worlds series and many big league
campaigns, almost kissed his big
league career goodbye last winter
The dependable outfelder of the
Yankee crew is just getting himself In
shape after his close call.
Lewis's home is at Boyes Springs,
Cal Last winter he decided to paint
his garage. While climbing about on
the ladder he fell and cut his arm
The paint fell. too, of course, and
some of the paint penetrated the cut
in his arm. Blood poisoning set in
and for time his condition was seri-
Gus. Amputation of his arm was con-
sidered a possibility at one time.
LeWis's perfect physical condition
helped though and the arm is rapidly
rounding into its old form again.
The loss of Lewis would have been
a sad blow to the Yanks. He IS a
star fielder and a valuable unit on
offense.
Lewis is a native of California. Was
born in San Francisco April IS, 1888.
He broke into pro ball with the Ala

last year. He ought to make a good
mate for Neale and Roush.
Moran has been busy although he
has added no stars to his club. He
has been devoting long hours to de-
veloping the youngsters given tryouts
at Miami and as a result he appears to
have turned out some new material
which will at least strengthen his
second defence.
Goldie Rapp is one of this likely
looking rookie crew. He is a native
of Cincinnati, but was sent to Beau
