BAD FEELING AGAINST CROWS.


cial)-The Crows suffered another defeat
at the hands OF the Hiil-Ciimbers this
afternoon, being out-played by the locals
at every stage of the game
For the first three innings the contest
was exciting and interesting. and the
Lynchburgers were unable to find Bailey.
In the fourth, however. the black-suited
wizard was taken sick; and hitting one
man. giving two men bases on balls. and
allowing five hits to be made from his
delivery. permitting six runs to be scored.
and practically lost the game for Rich
mond.
In the sixth inning Keenan, was substi-
tuted for him. and Notwithstanding the
fact that he pitched exceptionally well,
ne could not overcome the lead that the
hit climbers had made. His support was
horrible. Gilman occupied second bag,
McGann being sick with fever, and up to
'he hihth inning he played a faultless
game In that inning, however he made
three errors in quick succession. allow
ing Two men TO cross the rubber and vir-
tuaiiy precluding the possibility of Rich
monds winning.
POOR STICK-WORK.
Inc stick-work of the Crows was far
below their usual standard, though a de-
clded Improvement over yesterday
Moran, the "Hil-Climber," occupied the
box for the first time to-day, and ac-
quilted himself very well.
Umpire Clarke, while he showed no par
tiallty whatever to either club, was dread
fully off on some of his decisions and
seemed unable to discriminate between
a Dali and strike. The order on the
ball-neld was perfect. singular good
fellowship was exhibited by the audience,
ana the game progressed quietly and plea
sanity.
REPEATEDLY CHEERED.
The Richmonds were repeatedly cheered
when they made good plays and even
Pop Tate came in for "A goodly share of
the happy comments That the Richmond
lads lost can be attributed to no other
cause than their bad and loose playing.
While the better class-in fact large
majority OF the Lynchburg baseball
cranks-deprecate the unfriendly feeling
that has been exhibited here against the
Richmond club. 1t cannot and IL not de-
MED that such exists among the lower
element
TWO CROWS ATTACKED.
This was clearly demonstrated at an
early hour this morning. when Morgan
and keenan, became involved In a row
which resulted in the formers receiving
a bad blow on the back of his head, and
the latter's eye being badly blacked.
The two players had stayed out after
hours. and did not return until after
o'clock. They were somewhat under the
influence Of liquor. but, as stated by the
night clerk at the hotel, not visibly so
The Dispatch man has talked with al
parties concerned and with eye-witnesses
and has been assured that neither Morgan
nor keenan, provoked the difficulty. The,

a BAD KICKER.
Captain Knox. the professional kicker
OF this city, appears to have had bad
blood for the Crows also. He visited Get
tenger at the hotel tonight and demanded
of him satisfaction for an alleged re-
mark made by Gettenger to him during
to-day's game From members Of both
teams IL is learned that few words were
INDUCED in between Roussey and Knox
on the field, and that when Gettenger told
them in a good-natured way TO play bal

him and told him that he would see

fused to fight him at the hotel Knox be-
came very vituperative and insisted on
having "scrap." Umpire Clarke inter
fered and by sheer force led Knox away.
