Twenty-six individuals Witness Very op-
Interesting Game of Ball.
There were twenty-six spectators ct lsiand
Park yesterday afternoon.
This tremendous outpourpg Of admirers OF
the national gamo consisted OF one sergeant
Of police one policeman, one individual who
refused to umpire for nothing. two able
representatives of Fulton in neglige shirts.
one printer, two small boys who chased the
ball when il was knocked in the river. two
newspaper reporters ten average citizens ard
six men who used their faces rs tickets be-
cause they were friends of the players.
The total receipts from tho contest, which
was between the Elbas and Brooklands. was
the encouraging sum of $50. Five dollars
OF this went to Mr.. Donati for the use of his
grounds. Il was handed the Mayo estate for
the use of the bridge. e. 30 will have TO bs
paid for the balls. something like the same
amount has been paid for advertising aud 70
will cover other necessary expenses. with
these facts some people still say that base
ball will pay iii Richmond:
The contest closed with score Of 10 6
in favor OF the Elbas. IL was not brilliant
game, neither was 1t replete with splendid
plays or interesting moves. 1t dragged its
weary length along. elected but littlc If any
applause and spectators md players were
both clad when 1t had been concluded.
Mr.. HatOn presided at pitchers box for the
Elias. and nine hits were made from him.
while Messrs Buchanan and Luck divided
the honors at that stand for the Brookands,
and their opponents sent thirteen hits pirou-
citing over the lately-cut crop on Donatis
plantation. Mr.. Donau has harvested his
fodder and the outfeld now looks as level as
such rich low land can possibly do. and
should the WinstOns ever again play bail and
kick M Island Park they will have no trouble
in finding the sphere II 1t gets anywhere near
center-feld fence
The first inning resulted in a whitewash for
both clubs but in the second inning the
Elbas sent three men over the plate by bunch
ing Of four singles. and costly errors by their
