VICTORIOUS AGAIN.
The Old Dominion Ean Team DefeGts the
Eulton-.

Fultons.
4 very even game Of ball took place yes
ter,lav afternoon nj o'clock, at Island
Park. between the Old Dominions and Old
Fultons. There was small crowd pres
emt. but enthusiasm ran ign. ana eaIh COCO
play was literally applauded. Ialmef
played very GOOD first base, but Apple
gatc. rs pitcher carried oil most OF the
honors Of the Old Dominion Club. lie II
not only an excellent pitcher, but covers as
much ground as fielder. Yesterday he
worked hard. Hot, high flies came, and he
took them IN. In one inning three battefs
succumbed at first by bis proficient high
catches.
Lucke caught with his usual grace and
pXpertness. and sent the sphere down TO
second with unerring speed. Some OF his
throws down there, however, were rather
of colw. Luckc. showing that he needs
more practice than be gets.
West played a good short-stop, Dut the
Fultoulte, were not knocking the leather
his way On the contrary, Taylor ON thlrd
did much Of the shOrt-stOp work, ana
proved himself thorough adept in his
throws 10 first.
OF the Fultons, Gale played excellent
ball. Like Taylor, he played 10 win, and
took every chance. thinner caught
splendidy. and William Disney was an
able pitcher. Napier did well as short
stop. and j. Disney at second base did .ood
work.
Altogether the game was very interest
ny one throughout, and 1t Is a
,reat pity that the lovers Of the
National game in Richmond do
not patronize the city's amateurs. They
play ball equally as well as the average
professional, and the men who cry that they
,re sorry that Richmond cannot support q
,eam should look at his neighbors play
