Great Interest IN the Game.
The game was exciting more because or
the enthusiasm OF the crowd and OF the
absorbing interest manifested than be-
cause of any especially brilliant playing.
That Richmond ought to have won the
fight there is no sort OF doubt. That they
did not win is their own fault or mis-
fortune.
The home team was not In good con-
dition for playing such strong opponents
as the Farmers. kaln was suffering iroii
a very sore hand, which gave him great
pain every time he caught ball. nis
work however was without fault Ma
pier, who had 10 be put on third base,
also has a sore hand, and could not stop
hot balls. His throwing TO first was ex-
ceptionally good. Baby" Philips was
late arriving. and Hodge played
centre field the first two innings. he
filled that position better than usual.
MGANN'S COSTLY ERROR.
An error by McGann in The third inning
proved most disastrous and largely con-
tributed to the loss OF the game. With
a double-play possible. the second base
man made "A bad throw to first, ana
nothing was accomplished. Five runs
that would never have been made were
then scored by the Farmers, giving them
lead that could not be overcome.
The contest proceeded smoothly from
this point on. with every indication or
victory for the Farmers, until the ninth
inning. when. adding two runs to the
three that they had already made. the
Crows brought the score up TO 3 10 G. 1t

ENDED IN A FIGHT.
An Exciting Scene Marks the Close Of a
Remarkable Ball Contest.
THE FARMERS WIN BOTH GAMES.
Crows Make Costly Errors, and Their Base
Running IL Wretched-Great
Crowds Present.

The greatest baseball demonstration In
Richmond's history occurred at West-End
Park yesterday.
II was. so to speak, an all-day Fourth
of-July celebration on the ball-held. and
nearly nine thousand. enthusiastic cranks
and rooters-men. women, and children
participated in the festivities.
There were two games between the
Richmond and Petersburg teams, and
they were among the most exciting ever
played here. Neither team lacked friends.
Indeed. both had enthusiastic friends,
and plenty Of them. The professional
rootcr was not so conspicuous as in n
few other contests of recent date, but the
cov-bell and tin-horn brigade were out
in full force. and the cannon and baby
walker made themselves heard-often and
loud.
Nearly three Thousand people attended
the morning contest, and nearly double
as many were out in the afternoon. This
latter crowd broke the Virginia baseball
record. And It was a genuine, hetero-
genious. good-natured. cheering baseball
assembly. Not half as many ladies were
ever seen in a ball-park here except at
the game played on Island Park between
the Commonwealth and Westmoreland
clubs. They were in the grand-stand, on
the bleacheres, and mixed in with the
crowd everywhere.
The Farmers won in the morning and
the Crows lost In the afternoon. And the
Richmond cranks are sad. In both games
the home nine showed defective team
work. They did not play together and
they rarely ever do. Their base-running
was very poor, especially that OF Tate and
McGann in the afternoon, and there was
practically no coaching. The pitchers for
the locals did very good work, but they
were not well supported. The errors were
all made in critical moments and proved
