tiSed itself as the champion club Of Balti-
more, visited our city and played several
match games with the Richmond Baseball
Club. They came OH victorious in these
contests, and afterwards challenged negro
baseball club 10 match game. They sue
ceeded in vanQuishing these also, and it is
we'll perhaps that their proves in this di-
rection met their wishes; else. to Judge
from subsequent developments, the cOlored
opponents would have Jared badly.
