SMITH AND LATHhoP.
smith. the Cockade City twirler, did
great work in the box. He pitched Dedu-
fiful game and held the Legislators down
10 six hits, well scattered. The nome
team couldn't get on to his delivery to
speak Of. He is deceptive, possesses eA-
cellent judgment, and rarely gives a man
his base on balls. During the nrst nve
Innings he held the Undertakes down
10 one poor little single. Mr.. smith is
also the champion tolu chewer OF the

gave a few men their bases on balls, but
the visitors found him for only eleven
hits, and these were interspersed ,hroush-
out the contest to considerapie adVasiitaEe;
His speed is not up TO the standard, ana
al times he Is little wild. There was no
occasion whatever TO growl about his De
livery. for he proved himself rather
clever twrler. Had he been supported
nroperly by Foster on third base and
Hodge In centre field the contest might
have looked different Phillips also made
an error at short. though this was some
what excusable for the grounds were
his footing.
ROTH FAILrD TO SCORE.
After everybody had settled down, and
the band had put the crowd IN a good 200
humor Baby Phillips went to the BAT
thing worthy of publication, and then
WcGann got to first on wild throw by
Brodie. Neither he nor Foster, who was
hit by the ball. derived any advantase,
for Baby Phillips went out between first
and second, Tate flew out 10 Myer, and
Foster got caught between the bags: For
the visitors Kelly was the only individual
who got in hit. lie died at second wheh
the side was retired by Farrell.
In the second the Undertakers went
out one, two, three and the Agriculturists
followed suit. The third was rushed
through in the same manner, with the
exception Of Myers single TO second, and
then the fun began. When the fourth
passed into history the visitors had put
two nice little dots on the run column
OF the score-b0ok after the mourners had
been retired in short order. This is the
way IL was done
Stafford was given four balls. Then
Foster made an atrocious error, or whicn
Stafford took advantage TO reach second,
leaving Farrell on first. wild pitch by
Lathrop advanced the men a bag, and
Myer secured first by four balls. Honey
cut flew out 10 Williams, and Smith hit
10 Foster. sending Stafford in and leaving
Farrell on third. Keefer thumped UP
fly. and Hodge muffed 1t wretchedly per,
hitting Farrell to score. SANFORD reoired
the side by a fly to west .
Then the Richmond rooters got blue In
the face. They groaned; their upper lips
dropped down about four inches, ana
some of them even wept. They pleaded
with the Mourners to do something for
them. but all to no purpose, Tor In the NTH
Vfil{ams alone broke the monotony OF
the one. two. three business by Il single,
which was OF no avail. The band played.
the cannon belched forth angriiy. as
though through revenge. but the cranks
refused to be comforted. In the nth
matters looked unpromising. indeed hope
less. Tor stafford got in a single and Far
rell a two-bagger. Neither man scored,
however, owing to the clever fielding OF
the Legislators.
PASDEMcNIUM BKIGSrD.
Everybody knew that something had 10
happen I'm the sixth. Something did hap
pen In fact. several things happened, as
will be seen below.
There was no doubt that Foster would
make a desperate effort 10 redeem him
self in the eyes OF the multitude for the
ragged fielding he had done. Phillips was
thrown out at first by Myer and McCiann
was similarly treated. Pop Tate went to
the home plate and took up the stick
lie had blood I'm his eye. He made a hit
IL was the second one since the game
opened. a Wild shout went ND from all
quarters simultaneously. Some wanted to
20 out and shake the hand of the oval
shaped first baseman before he got around
the bags.
Finally something like order was estab-
lished Foster, the peerless, with his
strawberry locks shining like fire in the
sunlight. had look of determination in
his eagle eye. IL was no time for monkey
business. Something had to be done All
eyes were fixed upon the Duke OF Fulton.
'Now, Foster, show 'em what you can
do for yourself" cried an experienced
rooter Foster never looked aside but
