will be in such shape that a g»me can ;
be played immediate!} following a!
regular cloudburst and there will be
less necessity for rain checks in sub- ;
sequent seasons.
Scout Arthur Irwin, of the New York
American League club, is In Htrhmond,'
and he and Owner Bradley hud a long
talk Thursday about grass diamonds. ,
The scout stated that Richmond should i
have the regulation diamond by all
means. He said further that it would
be no trouble to make one, as It could
be done In about ten days.
Irwin offered to semi the keeper of
the New York American League |
grounds here to do the work and said ,
that he would guarantee that Rich- '
' "incurd Would have a diamond second to j
few in the country when the Yankees'
man was through his work.
Owner Bradley has been taking the
matter over with Manager I.awlor all
summer and has been undecided only ,
about the time to do the work and
the best way to get It done. He is
yet undecided whether it is better to
do the work Immediately following the j
football season or to start It early next I
spring and have It completed before the j
training season starts.
At any rate, the grass diamond is
coming as a sure thing and the offer '
of Scout Irwin shows Owner Bradley :
the way to get It done quickly and
properly.
Scout Irwin is here on a visit and is i
not looking around for promising ma
terial, hs usual. He states that he is i
tired looking them over and la now
here for a rest He Is on his way to j
Ocean View, where he can enjoy the
salt sea breezes and take a dip in the
inviting surf at the seaside resort
In s)>eaking of his "finds'' of lhe sea
son, Irwin declares that none of them :
look any better than Priest, of the Dan
ville club. He says that Priest and
Lilehl. shortstop of the Lancaster club,
of the Trl-state League, are far ahead
of ail others and that thev have a
bright future before them.
The fortunate feature about Priest is
that he Is capable of playing other po
sitions besides shortstop and may be
tried out In several positions Irwin
says that the youngster would make a
fine third baseman and a great out
fielder. Priest is deadly on fly balls
and It is this that makes Irwin believe
that he could be developed into an
outfielder of more than ordinary abili- j
ty. I
Of course, everything depends on I
Priest's batting ability in big company. I
If he Is able to hit the big twlriers '
h« will develop Into one of the great
Ml Plkyffs" Triffic gamerTfiTis-Ts 'tTie
opinion of Scout Irwin. If he falls to
hit he will not get the opportunity for I
development in big company and thus
will never be a great star.
It Is believed, however, that Priest
will clout the ball. and. as experience
comes, will be one of the greatest
players In the game.
Something was done by Secretary
Gregory Thursday that pacified the ar
biters and caused them to suddenly
agree to get back to work. They were
not joking about the matter, and had
they not had a settlement several
players would have been working a*
arbiters around the circuit.
Umpire Mace had not shown any
signs of mutiny, as has some <>f the
others, but It is said that he had a
goodly ium coming to him and that
he would probably have been willing
to stick by the others. .
said that the arbiters have been
very much embarrassed on account of
lack of funds and have been forced to
borrow from hotel keepers around the
ireuit to replenish their purses.
They have the coin now. though
_ at is, they say they have it—and
this is very likely straight. They need
ed the money and in coming here they
„ade plain their Intentions Unless
Something had been forthcoming Um
pire Davis would not have been on the
field Thursday. When the arbiter did
appear he was in a jovial mood, and
when asked if he had any money re
plied that he had his.
r.
Umpire Fred WVstervelt is still con
fined to his room at the Park hotel, i
but he Is much relieved In mind Bnd
• Iso In body. Dr. W. P. Mathews,
the club physician, called on Wtsster
velt Tuesday and after making a thor
ough examination of the arbiter, stat
ed that he was not threatened with
typhoid and that he would be able to
get back to work In a few days.
The report of Westsrvelt'a Illness
•ante as quite a shock to his many
friends In Richmond and the news
that he is not to be ill will be re
ceived with relief. The umpire was 1
able to get up and around Friday and.
wfillssiili reeling weak, he is much
better. He will not go to Petersburg
TtWjaj^but way go over to work Bat
LL!
urday If ha can get the permission
' of I>r. Mathew s to do ao.
The fan* ware treated to a welcome
sight Thursday whan Manager Lawlor
stepped Into the third bane coaching
ho* attired In hi* uniform. Follow.
Ing the recover) from hla sprained
ankle Uawlor should have gone In the
coaching ho* but he could not do ao
on account of the scarcity of uni
forms
Now that the dub Is down to the
limit and all surplus players are out
of the way he Is side to get a uniform
for himself. It will be of great value
to the club to have the manager In the
coaching box and will result in many
runs that might not otherwise get
across.
I.ong John Fox made his appearance
here w Ith the Tara Thursday and Man
ager t'larke explained that he Is going
to try the elongated twlrier again. In
form. Fox Is one of the best pitchers
In the league and Clarke figured that
with him. Vance and Walsh he should
land a chance of finishing In at least
third place
Ittghie was with the Tars bul was
not at first base He Is still weak
with the stick and Clarke Is using .lolly
Hed Munson, his star catcher, at the
Initial lack. Chandler Is doing (he [
receiving these days.
Revellc had smnkp Thursday and
displayed the best form that he has ;
shown for some time. The Tars scored
a run the first inning but this was
due to an oversight on the part of
Tltman. wfcsn was not playing in his
proper position In the field. The ball
should never have fallen safe and the
Tars got their run when It should
never have counted.
Kevelle struck out four of the eight '
men to face him and he was going In
such form that it looked as if he j
would establish a league record in -
strike outs for the season.
Vance was going well but if the
Colts could have scored two runs In
the remaining seven Innings of the ;
game It would have been their vie- !
tory a* the Tars would never have j
sovred on Kevelle again unless some ,
unfortunate mishap gave them a run.
Kevelle had terrific speed and a Jump
on the ball that made it almost lm- l
possible for a hatter to hit the sphere.
Jackson got a double, but accidents
will happen.
The same batteries will probably
work in Friday's game. One game
only will be played on Friday but on
Saturday the dubs are scheduled to
go a double header.

PETERSBURG, VA.. August 10.—
Hamilton was in great Term yester
day and the Champs were shut out
in a last game here. Pritchard was
on the mound for Roanoke and was
In good form but Hamilton had much
the better of the argument.
The Goobers scored the only run
of the game in the third inning and
Hamilton started the racket that
scored this one. With one man out
the twirler drew a free pass and went
to second when Booe singled mer
second. Hamilton and Booe pulled
ofT a double steal and McFarland
struck out. but Bowen drove a hard
chance at Newton, who made a bed
peg to first, Hamilton scoring. Rooe
was caught off third and this ended
the inning.
The Champs had little chance to
score, but they oilseed their best op
portunity in the ninth. Shaughnessv
got a life when Bowen made a bad
throw to first and went all the way
to second. Holland sacrificed him to
third. With Preesley and Newton
coming up it seemed almost certain
that the runner would score but
Pressley offered an easy fly and New
ton ende the suspense by whiffing. The
score.

Boston Will Have to Play Phe

Up Now.
NEW YORK. August 1».— If the
Philadelphia Athletics win one-half
of their remaining game* and the
Boston Red Sox threefourtha of their's.
the former will still win the pennant
t>y one game. This shows, to the satis
faction of New York fans, juet what a
cinch Connie Mack's men have for the
honor of representing tne American
League In the world's championship
series with the winner In the National
League.
Philadelphia has won 7 4 games and
lost 34, while Boston, in second place,
hae won <3 and lost 47, giving the
Athletics a clear lead of twelve games.
Provided all the remaining games are
played, 'Philadelphia has 46 games yet
to play and Boston 4 4. Should Mack's
men w-ln 23 of these games their final
standing will be 9 7 games won and
*7 lost; a percentage of .630. Should
Boston wtn 33 of her remaining games
her standing wll be 06 games won and
58 lost; a percentage of .623.
There isn't a baseball man in the
country who would not offer big odds
that Philadelphia will win more than
half of her remaining games and
ther are few who wouldn't bet that
Roston will not win three-fourths of
the games yet on her schedule. Not
since the American League was or
ganised has a team made such a run
away race for the pennat as the
Athletics are now- doing.

said a negro, who was walking along
side of Mr. Barnet. "Ismmt see tt,
please sub?"
"Sura” replied Mr. Barnes, as he
handed the timepiece over to the dark
ey, and In the twinkling of an. eye
the negro and the watch were out ol
sight. ‘
Mr. Barnes started In pursuit of the
fleeing thief as soon as he recovered
from the shock, and landed in a pawn

to plaee the watch. Giving up the
chase Mr, B*rne% went to the Central
