A LUMP OF SUGAR EACH
ron TUE RICHMOND COLLEGE "sPI-
DERS" BY WAY OF REVENGE.
They Downed the Ashland Boys In Hong
KonE Game by Score OF IL to s.
Small Crowd OF Rioters.

Small Crowd or Rioters.
II revenge is sweet. the Richmond Col
iege Spiders have made step towards
reaching some decision in the Sugar
Trust. for they got even with the RAN
doIph-Macon men at the West-End Park
yesterday afternoon and wiped out their
defeat of Saturday afternoon by a score
OF IL to s.
The game had not been advertised In
the papers. and consequently compare
lively few people knew there was to be
game. Naturally enough when Umpire
Smith. who. by the way. proved conclu-
sivey that he was by no means novice
in that capacity. "called the meeting to
order" at o'clock, only about one hun
dred and fifty human beings occupied the
grand stand and the bleacheries. Most or
these were students from the two insti-
tuuons, and the vocal power was in no.
wise lacking, for those few made people
in the vicinity Of the ball park imagine
that Buffalo Bits Wild West show was
doing little special work They yelled;
they didn't root. They didn't know now
A ROCKER will never allow himself TO make
anything but a passing remark Wnen

HONG KoyG GAME.
There was no kicking I'm glad to say;
no repetition Of the childish dolngS OF
last Saturday. Mr.. Smith unpired with
general satisfaction
The game. taken as a whole. was not
what the spectators had hoped to see;
Is was on the Hong Kong order, ana
errors were numerous and costly. Rob
ertscn, the blonde twirler, who did effec-
tive work for the visitors last saturday
and held the Spiders down to three hits,
did not cover himself with any great
amount OF glory yesterday. The home
team found him for eleven clean hits,
including a lovely three-bagger. lie was
not given the SUPPORT he had right to
expect. The visitors succeeded in putting
nine errors on the score book to their
credit, and four Of these were the iinIne-
date cause OF as many runs Tor tne
on the part Of the visitors were humlliat-
ing. to say the least to those VINO patron
lie the yellow and black. o., s,..so,f
Talbot would have covered hln'seiI
wun glory but for his two errors. he
made four clever hits out Of possible
five and did effective work otherwise,
while Fletcher gave the spectators a
sample Of gilt-edged article. lie played
clever ball throughout.
For the home team, Eiiyson was MT
hard The visitors secured fourteen OF me

advantage OF their Gdversaries MISTAKES sf
Indeed the Spiders played with niue
Judgment. Their fielding was fagseu,
atrOclously so. and while they ga noI
make as many errors as the Methodlsts,
what they did make were OF very slaTlns
character. and came nigh. BABY Fhll-
lips played a good game. ont OF thrice az
the bat he got in two hits and his neId-
Inc though clean and effective, was
counteracted by that Of +. Duke ana
Lockett. who played monotonous' a"N-
Throughout the entire game there were
no brilliant plays. except pretty ca.cn

uninteresting time.
LITTLr DETAIL.
IN the first the Spiders" secured a run
through hits by Philips and W. Duke
who Kept up the record LOT Snie ee,,n more
sult. A passed ball 10y f.. Duke, and
single by Talbot did The work.
In the second the Spiders repeated tne
act owing to Johnson's hit and Boyle's
error. l'letcher's hit, Elyson's unaatis-
factory delivery and LOcketts error gave
the Ashland boys a run IN the same in
' in the third the home team scored
twice by reason Of ". Dukes hit. and
an error each bv Boyle and Carter while
the visitors added one run to their record
through RobertsOn's hit assisted by DUKE

IN the fourth.
The fifth saw one dot put in the score
column for the spiders" single each
by Philips and Burnett. a wild pitch and
an error by the Methodist catcher being
the explanation. Three runs went 10

hits HOwisOu, Talbot, Boyle and Carter

The finish grew slightly more interest
ing. and the collegians got in some more
vocal work when the spiders drew
blank in the eighth and their adversaries
scored one time At this point the Ash
land boys said they had to catch their
train for home, and they quit the grounds.
Umpire smith informed tnen tndt lie
could not call the game at this time eX-
cept to give the victory to the home team
by score Of o TO 0. Then the blonde
twirler got back into the box. ana "BaOy
