RICHMOND. March 2o.-Harry wrights lively
young men havo been way down South In
Georgia the past month engaged In taking the
kinks out OF their muscles under the influence
OF tho warm sunshine OF that region. To-day
they appeared in Richmond looking like n lot
Of race horses and eager to meet the New York
or any othcr team. The game had not pro-
crossed far when It became evident that the
young men who hit tho hall for the Quakers
had considerable basis for their appar-
ent good opinion OF themselves. They
felded with phenomenal SKILL ran tho
bases like dcerhounds. and hit tho ball.
Hallman's work at second was disgustingly
good. and all the other red legs tried hard to
emulate his example. Roger Common. tho old
New York baseman. appears to be playing up
to his best form. and is in quite asgood con-
dition as the others. The Philadelphins sim
ply walked away with the game from the start
and left the New Workers in a dazed condition.
In defence OF the Gothamites 1t may be said
with truth that they did not put their best foot
forward. Esper and Clements. tho star bat-
terry OF tho Philadelphia. worked hard for six
innings, and while the left-hander was hit
with frequency. still 1t was not hard enough
70 yield sufficient number OF runs.
WEIGH appeared to lie a rather easy mark: his
support could not have been much worse. and.
in addition. tho Philadelphia wore lucky
home runs. Bassett was not feeling we'll. and
Ewing was feeling somewhat mularnl and the
