For Championship of the south.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 24.-About four
thousand people saw the first game of
the Richmond Nashville series for the
championship of the South here to day.
The locals out-played the visitors at
every point. The latter became ratified
early in the contest and did not recover
until Richmond had practically won the
contest. Tannehill pitched one of the
best games of his life, while Herman was
very wild. When he did get the ball
over the plate it was batted hard. The
Richmond's played fast fielding game,
the work of MCGOWAN, Wells, Houseman

There may be those who will deplore
the report that the ArmeniaDs have at
last obtained arms and are using them
that conflicts between the Turks and the
ArInenians, If they have not already
occurred are imminent. II ever people
deserved to perish by the sword 1t is the
ruthless Kurds; if eyer people had
right to draw the sword it Is the
Armenians in defense of not only every
thing that life holds dear but of life itself
They have done all for peaceaoie soiu-
ton that could be expected of them They
could scarcely do otherwise for they had
been disarmed by the Turkish govern
rnent before the Kurds overwhelmed and
,nassacred the people of entire Villages.
Just where the Armenians got the arms
they are said to have does not appear In
the report There was doubtless diplo-
matte design behind the supply and If the
Armenians and Turks get to fighting In
real earnest the situation will demand a
solution which the European powers have
SO long delayed. We hope the report that
the Armenians are well armed Is true.
