Of the league Richmond and Lynchburg-

Both teams are I'm excellent condition
and as both have their eye on the pen

every point The first game VIII be called
at 1890 O'Clock. and the second az $40
O'Clock. In the first Flynn VIII go IN ths

and exceptionally good pitchers.
This will be the first time Richmona

mond grounds this season, ana, asine
from the closcness OF their percentages
this fact lends interest 10 the game. To-

The Game Not Exciting. But several
PLAYERS Hurt.

NORFOLK. VA. May 29-CSpecial)-
To-day's game between Lynchburg and
the Bows in Gray was disappointment.
The burning question Of yesterdays
game with the rooters, IS why Captain
Tate took Brandt out Of the box. He
was pitching a very fair game when, in
the NTH inning, a vicious grounder was
hit TO the short stop, who threw 1t over
Tate's head Tate finally captured II,
and threw IL ten feet over Fuller's head,
allowing the three base-runners to score.
Then. 10 everybOdy's astonishment, he
took Mr. Brandt out OF the box.
The game was not an interesting one,
there being too many errors, and II was
made more undressing by two or three
accidents TO the players.
Schabel. Of the Lynchburgers, In making
a desperate slide 10 second base. broke
his index finger. DR.. Culpepper was called
from the grandstand and rendered the
necessary medical assistance. Knox got
severe fan making the same kind OF
a daring slide to second, a little later in
the game lie Xds not seriously hurt
and remained playing Thurston and
Joanes were slightly injured during the
game. but grittly stuck by their colors.
The contest was void OF exciting plays.
Tate. i'm the second inning created the
only genuine enthusiasm by knocking a
long home-run over the left-hed fence,
with the bases an empty. unfortunately.
Lynchburgs finally won out By a score Of

and was bit for four singles. two-bag-

for the Farmers. The game was an un-

features Of the game were the fine run
