THEIR FIRST GAME.
TIM VESTS NEW PETS BEATEN BY
THE COLLEGE SPIDERS.
Need Practice-Anthony's Work
IL Effective.

The new Richmond league nine-Captaln
Tim Vests boys-played their first game
OF ball yesterday. and suffered ignomf
NOUS defeat at the hands OF the Richmond
College Spiders.
The Richmond nine Is rather weak en-
the whole. and unless Captain West wants
to see his boys at the tail-end OF the
league he has got to make them play bet
ter ball than they did yesterday. r..
The team has good material In It's make
up, but the men don't seem TO play To-
gether. They need practice badly.
"Puss' Luck, who played behind the
bat, understands the game about as tho-
roughly as any man In the city. but he
is inclined to be lazy, and allowed a num-
Der of foul flies to escape him yesterday
from sheer laziness. Blankenship in the
box Is a No. man. His curves are
puzZlers and he shows great promise.
Kelly. one OF the new acquisitions, played
In right field, and although he had very
little opportunity. except at the Dat "
display any talent, he did not avail nm
self of any of the few chances when
presented themselves. Unless he improves
very materially he will make a dismal
failure as a batter. The other men are
all "hold -overs'' from last season, ana
can play good ball II they will only
get together.
THE SPIDERS IN BAD FORM.
The Spiders did not play up TO their
usual standard yesterday, being mucn
weaker at the bat than Is their custom.
Anthony pitches well, and manipulates tbe
sphere in a scientific manner. He does not
like to run, however. and II the rules OF
the national game could be changed 10
permit him TO walk around the bases ne
would prove a very valuable man TO the
Spiders. Johnson behind the bat Is active.
ever on the alert, and rarely let's ball
pass him.
The Spiders took the bat In the first in
ming. and scored three runs, after both
Phillips and Frank Duke had gone OUT
on flies They did not score again until
I'm the fifth inning. The Thermometers III
the first inning brought the first six men
at the bat over the home plate. with little
apparent effort. Decidedly the pretdesf
play during the game was made by 1ur.
ner. who while running after fly, batted
by Foster. tripped and fell. He captured
the ball. however. and was greeted with
loud cheers by the small audience present
In the fourth inning. Foster occupying
left-held. made a very pretty running
catch. putting Frank Duke out
THEIR WINNING ROUND.
The eighth inning proved the most in
teresting by long odds. The Spiders. who
had been several runs behind throughout
the game. began making score after
score, and as each player crossed the
plate the crowd went wild. Tim Vests
boys got ratified when the runs began TO
pile up too rapidly, and allowed the
Spiders to increase their score from Z
10 i6.
The Spiders made no attempt TO scoro
in the ninth inning. simply walking 10 the
bases. If they accidentally hit the ball
In their endeavor TO strike out. The
Richmond boys went out in one, two,

inning. and left the field badly van

have no doubt that the list will be

meet. 1t is to be hoped that the
promoters will fully realize their
expectations.
We publish to-day the sub
scriptions made this week for the
Fourth of July celebration, which
is quite satisfactory. We would
like to see those of our merchants
who subscribed only 81 90 increase
their subscription to 81, so as their
