WENT ALL TO PIECES.
Rlchmonds Give a Chinese Exhibition
and Are Badly Beaten.
BOTH PITCHERS DATTED FREELY.
Neither Plummer nor Black Could DO
Anything with tho Bumgardners-
Games at Other Points.

ton Of the Staunton team, who bore on
the palms of victory In the ratio OF ~
to Z, and the negroes who sat on the
bleacheries and yelled for the visitors.
no one here rejoices In the result Of the
game.

the home team went all TO pieces. Every
body went out to the park fully expecting
Richmond TO win. The rooters were in

before the game commenced, but during
the two hours and more that the battle
waged they had no opportunity Of using
their lung-power. for the Richmond root
ers are a funny set. They love 10
holler. No set Of people ever enjoyed
yelling more than they, but they VIII not
under any circumstances root for VISIT
ing club.
