In the afternoon the two teams appeared in
different roles The Kichmonds entered the
contest as amateurs and the visitors began the
battle az autOcrats In other words they be-
gan to kick" from the very start, and con-
tinued to DO so until the audience left the
grounds disgusted-
There were over thousand people present
when the game began, and gloom was I'M
mediatoly cast over twO-thiTds of them be-
fore the first inning was over. Richmond
araln went to the bat but did not follow
their example of the morning by scoring
The visitors however. did, and made the
crowd present feel hopeless and inanlmate-
Apologize pitched that inning. and III all
truth made a complete iasco Of the exhibit
ton The story can he told in few words
nne men on the Universities side made their
runs. Of all wild men conceivable. Apple
gate was the widest. and Luck, as catcher,
worked his hardest to keep the bail from
landing among the crowd IN the grand stand.
Cries for InrigLt were made with vOcliera-
ti0n. and he went into the pitchers box in the
second inning. If this bad been done at first
the came might have been enjoyable, but even
with the GOOD PLAYING OF both SIDES the fact
constantly stared one in the face that the
visitors had nine runs. Many were ot the opln-
ion that with Quarles the klchmonds would
have been triumphant but after the 1rst IN
ming hoping against hope became anything
but an enjoyable pastlme.
Throughout the game there were changes
made in The teams. and it was with difficulty
that many could keep therunn OF the players
Mcclure changed during the evening and
Euright changed with Apologize.
The game was not q contest Of baseball
but was al illustration Of how a college club
can kick" or. in other words, find fault. On
the slightest proyocation playing was tenn
porarily suspended. and the whole team in
dulged in q series of very disgusting kicks"
They wore out all the patience Of the audience
and lost much in the estimation OF the cit
liens Of Richmond, who had patronized them
TO see a ball game.
At the end of the eighth Mcclure gave q
prolonged kick about the ball which was be-
ing used and the audience got so thoroughly
tired of these fault-fndings that they arose
en- masse and saw the Richmond College
Club calamity and legitimately defeat the
Nlrglnans.
The score of the game was then thirteen to
five in favor of the visitors Both sides made
many errors.

THE GAME.
The game was beautiful one in eyerv

their excellent record. Quarles pitched a
wonderful game, only one hit being made
from him, and Luck did excellent work AS a
catcher. Temple did we'll the part of short

basemen. In tho eighth he made
a beautiful high catch and was literally
yolled at mud applauded. Lumsden's

Mcclure did not diminish his record Of
strikc-outs for he performed his task well by
masking fourteen men fan tho air. He is
