WILL HAVE NEW SUITS.
THE COLLEGE TEAM CAPTURED
THE GAMEBY ONE RUN.
1t Was Enjoyed by Five Hundred specta-
tors and the Rootors Saw Some TX
ceiient Chinese Ball Playing.

The game Of Chinese ball at the Ches-
terrified diamond yesterdway afternoon
was witnessed by fully five hundred
spectators. 1t was played by the Vir-
ginia and College teams,the proceeds OF
of which are to be devoted to the purchas
ing Of uniforms for tie Colts. Anthony
occupied the box for the citizens Of cru
dition,and the Virginia's new twirier,
Smith, did the honors for those citizens
who will be clad in raiment that will lend
no little establishment to Richmond's
pets. Smith is speedy individual, but
on yesterday he was evidently afraid to
throw the ball. He was wild at times,
and presented five Collegians with their
bases. Luck caught a faultless game, and
made several beautiful throws to second.
The Virginias made squirt in the
first inning, for after Enright and Mike
O'Rourke had reached the bases Left
witch pounded the sphere for two bag
ger and sent the two runs across the
plate.
The Collegians saw the Colts two bet
ter, however In the next inning, for
the bases on balls,a single by Frank Duke
and two-bagger by Anthony gave the
Colleg1ans four ns.It was splendid
lead for the Spiders and It looked as IL
the Coitswould never be able to overcome
q lead. The next three innings as played
by the Virgfnians, which resulted in
goose-egEs for the brawny Colts con-
WINGED many that such was likely to be
the case In the fifth the Colts caught
another run on a tumble by Phillips and
a wild throw by Frank Duke from
first base. In tho sixth the Spiders
increased their score with one more figure
for Morgan and Anthony did some
very pretty work with the stick.
Both teams scored three runs In the
ninth, and the spectators were treated TO
q bit Of Chinese ball playing that
would do credit to a field day in Hong
Kong. Bahen reached first on mun by
McGann out IN right and Bahen's single
put him on second. Smith then made
horribly wild pitch, and the splendid lit
tie catcher went home as easy as some
people digest an omeette souffie after
the ball. Enrght at third then had to
made miserable error which gave Willie
Duke his base and both he and O'Hara
scored on a beautiful two-base hit by
th-.t Apollo-like ball-player, Frank Duke.
Enright being hit by the ball, put him on
first and ORourke's single sent him
TO second. An error by Burnett IN right
advanced them both base, and then
Baby" Phillips lost his head and threw
wildly. Enright and Leftwich scored
while ORourke ended his career at
third. Wells having reached first while
Phillips and his associates were pill
ing up errors, he went home In the
same manner. and literally stole home.
The catcher went down TO the pitchers
box to evidently consult about the wealth
er. and Wells had an easy chance 10
cross the plate. He accepted 1t. McMann
and Allen both got on bases. but Fsost
ended the inning by sailing a foul to
Bahen.
AS awhole the game during the first
part was a splendid exhibition OF the
national game. and was heartily enjoyed
by the loval cranks present. The latter
half Of the contest demonstrated that the
Colts have anything but a strong team.
At any rate there was enough funds
received TO pay for the Virginias uni
forms and they are very happy in con-
sequence. Their Captain says that he
hopes they will have the suits ready
by next Saturday.
The score by innings yesterday is as
follows:
s-20OO101O3-7.
