WORKED LIKE SLAVES.
THE GIANTS AND FREE sTArERs.
The Boys From Richmond Defeated the In
dividuaIs Who Live Across the James
I'm tho League Bail Game.

There were two ball teams over at Island
Park yesterday that worked like slaves.
The sun as il rolled down its western back
shone in their eyes. and great beads OF per-
SEPARATION gave their faces the appearance OF
an Indian necklace, but they Needed them
not, and for one hour and forty-fve min
utes gamboled about the diamond with the
elasticity OF kids or with the suppleness
characteristic Of lot of nice young men
who do feats under the direction Of Dir.

The Forest Hill team came over from the
wilds of Chesterfield and mingled with the
Chants. and when the game was over they
were sorry. for the nine representatives, OF
Richmond gave them many unqualified
illustrations OF how the game was theirs.
1T was quite pity, too. TO defeat the
citizens from the Free State. for they
looked so nice as they took their posi-
tons in the field. Their costume IS a
dark sea-green sort Of a color. aud trim
mings Of canned salmon yellow are
mingled with the decollete neck and pleats
Of the bodice. Their caps are dainty COZ
ceits and on the breast is embazOned the
letters n H All of them didn't have
caps. and Mr.. William Bradley ensconced
his head IN a soft felt continuance that gave
happy look 10 his features as he did few
Desaltean poses in left field. Johnny-Cake
REYNOLDS covered his luxuriRnt locks with
twenty -fOur-cent straw arrangement. and II
was real comfort to him Outln centre held,
for IL not only kept the sun beams from
dallYing with his face, but distinguished him
from his conferee, Dir Bradley.
PUss LUcE.
81. I. IA
Forest Hill people and occupied place be-
hind the batter. Luck has worn many
costumes and has presented startling
Humpty Dumpty uniforms. but never IN
his natural days has he ever looked so be-
comingly graceful as ne does in the Forest
Hill suit. The soft. dark-green cloth IS
admirable for Mr.. Luck's complexion. and
the suit has really some idea about hitting
him.
The game Yesterday. looking at it from a
scientific point Of view and through the wire
netting Of the grand stand. was not SHIN
! ing success. II did not give any decisive
| promise TO the Giants that the pennant
would be given 20 them without work.
| There were too many errors in the column
! when the game ended for the Giants 10 walk
| of the field with their eyes bright and their
/ chests swelling with pride. The contest,
! however, presented the spectators with
/ enough amusement to well repay every one
that was there.
| VALUABLE ADDITION.
Foster is q valued addition to the, Virgin
| las. and the cranks were delighted when
they saw him 20 down to the third bag.
Though not doing a great deal in the way
| Of battery work with the exception OF one
| splendid burst he showed himself to be a
! run-getter. and did good service both at
| third bag and as catcher. Two singles and
/ four errors by fielders gave the giants their
first five runs. and ten men were
at the bat before the team went
! out. The Forest Hill people immedi,,
atelv saw they had no easy thing of 1t, and
braced themselves up. The five TALES
however. rose TO their minds every moment,
and they well knew that with such start
the task of winning the game would not be
| On easy one
And so it proved to be. for in the second
the Vireinias added two more to the score
! while it was the third inning before the
! Free State individuals scored
The game as q whole was pleasing, and
when the two teams meet again there VIII
be sport enough to satiate any crank in this
society.
! THE detailed score was as follows:
