Before the game commenced yesterday
Tate gave his mon very effective lee
ture. lie cllnched the arguments with
tho following letter 10 the team, which
is explanatory:
70 Captain IA. Tate and players Of the
Richmond Baseball Team. 1s9i:
We feel satisfied that you gentlemen
realize that the sisners # this paper have
given the Richmond baseball team OF
1894 active and hearty support. This
support was given largely when the play
ers seemed Ia Il disorg1ulZed condition and
the position held by the team IN the race
was not what We then thought IL should
be and could have been. Recently we
| have been made glad by the rapid march
YOU have made towards securing the PEN
nant Now the critical period is at han
and We are fully impressed with the
fact that you gentlemen. as team, are
equal TO the occasion, and can possibly
win the pcnnant.
Have you realized what an this may
neon 10 your city to the very generous
public. and last but ~ no means least
| u yourselves! IL was certainly expected
that the Capital City would be able 10
put in the Held the winning team We
think 1t Is due this community which has
50 largely pltrOuized your games this
year. that All the effort you are capable
of eXertng should be thrown in the
scale to lend the pennant here. For

city at all, with which we are likely % be
allied IN the near future In the baseball
arena, whore q reputation for good. hard,
conscientious ball-plaving will prove more
profitable TO you than right here in
Richmond.

our business men, and men Of all pro-
fesslons- clergymen, physicians. and law
yers-are regular attendants. while the
attendance on the part Of the ladies OF
Richmond has been unprecedented In this
section OF our country. We want TO
have the pleasure Of applauding you FOR

balance of this season.
We have heard through Dame Rumor
that the manager OF one team in the
league was. In fact. n controlling power

the umpire has TO call the game on
