The game was Richmond's from the

Mushroom City are great climbers. ana,
although the Bloody shirts had jumped
In the FIRST three innings to nine runs the
Goats kept slowly ascending, and but TOT
n beautiful home run batted by "Keddy'
Foster in the ninth, the probabilities are
that they would have been able TO ninoie

Sere made off OF him.
Morgan was substituted for Blanken-
shin in the seventh inning. and demon
,trated that ne can pitch good ball. why
i'm
thing that the cranks cannot understand.
Napier played good game, and aston
isbed those who had hitherto claimed that

that was pleasing. 1t Is TO be hoped tia&
ne will continue to play like this.

Pop" Tate Is playing excellent bail
now. His excessive avoirdupois does not
