yts Q shame, n shame. . shame!
Three straight games taken from the
poor. little Bumsardners, and taken by
the ugly Crows 1t could not be
helped though. The Stauntons cannot
play bali--with Richmonds Under
takers-and that Il all there Is to II. Cap
tain Mccioskey probably realizes this sed
fact now.
The game yesterday was only allowed 70
continue for six innings. but plenty of ex-
citemcnt was afforded the $500 cranks.
The contest was close and exciting
Throughout. and while the visitors played
better than they have hitherto done here.
they managed to pile up six atrocious
prrors.
All during the day heavy clouds hung
above the city, and rainfall appeared I'm
minent. The cranks kept their weather
eye upon the heavens. and many were
the speculations as TO whether game
would be played or not. AT o'clock the
clouds had banked themselves UP in the
vicinity Of west-End Park. but this did
not deter the cranks from going out. The
ptrcet-cars were crowded, and many We
hicles were pressed into service. when
ahe game was called there were few va
cant seats. and many rooters occupied
soft spots on mother earth.
HE TWIRLED WELL.

sTAUNTONS ERRORS.
The Richmond lads owe their victory
more 10 the errors OF the Stauntonians
than 20 any good batting on their part.
In the first inning neither side scored. In
the second Gilman made hit, was al
lowed 10 go To base by an error made by
Hcherer. and scored on safe hit batted
by Foster. In the third inning was where
the visitors piled up their errors. ana III
co doing allowed two men to score.
Wormsley succeeded I'm hitting out nice
liner. which assisted in two more runners
and brought the score up TO 8 to l.
The Bumgardners then came TO the bat,
and did some batting on their own ac-
count. Land. the first man TO WELD the
ash was retired at second by Wormsley.
In making this play. however, Sewers was
allowed to get 10 first base. Mace then
made n safe hit and advanced Sewers 10
second. sullivan did likewise and Sewers
came In while Mace went 10 second, ana
followed to home shortly afterwards on
Roussey's error, which gave Pennington
his base. Little, in the mean time had
batted a single. Schere was the next man
20 make a hit. and on 1t Sullivan scored

one 10 Cleve, which he squeezed ana
when Clark next famed the atmosphere
and retired the side everybody stood up

Neither side scored I'm the fourth, NTH,
or the sixth inning. and the audience was
kept on thorns for fear the visitors would
get another batting streak on and win

when both sides had been TO the bat SIX
times. IL had become SO dark as TO pre-
