To find doctor fooling round
Your inards with stomach pump!

Games.

Considering the excellent showing
made BY the Magicians on their recen,
trip. q comparatively small crowd saw
the game with Richmond at Athletic
Park yesterday. Those who did attend
were favored with one Of those blood
stirring contests, where the hitting Ia
hard and free and the fielding is up to
the mark.
Lloyd's illness gave Gaffney another
opportunity to exhibit his prowess in
the box. The visitors found his curves
from the very start nd for seven weary
innings banged out singles, doubles,
triples and homo runs with exasperat-
ing ease. In the eighth inning he gave
way to stalwart youth whose life
would have been in danger in the days
OF Jack, the Giant Killer. He is over
six feet tall and weighs 2l5 pounds.
His delivery Is as picturesque as the
scenery in Botetourt, but somewhat
wilder, keeping Welch on q continuous
Jump trying to keep track Of his speedy
shoots. This young man was also pie
for the visitors. In his one brief inning
they lined out three singles and q
double.
Flynn did the twirling for Richmond
and did 1t we'll. The fact Is that Rich
monds strength lies in her pitching des
partment. Behind such battery work
any club in the league would play win
ming BALL In point Of fielding they do
no better work than their opponents,
with the possible exception of Norfolk,
and when their pitchers are hit hard
they fall apart as badly as any other
team In the league. An instance &C.
CURED in the fifth inning Yesterday.
When Bradley, Cavanaugh and Viox
hit SUCCESSFULLY Kahn juggled the single
OF the last named player long enough
to give the runner and extra base and
then McGowan allowed Farrell's ridicu,
!ously easy grounder to go through
him.
The fielding OF both teams was
superb, except in Richmond's fifth.
The bombardment Gaffney was under
going was sufficient to demoralizs any
team, but the quality OF his support
was such that eleven Of Richmond's
fifteen runs were earned, the
others coming In as a result OF two
bases on balls, a wild pitch and his
own fielding error.
The most unpleasant feature OF the
game was the rankness OF McLauRhIin's
umpiring. He Is we'll, but unfavorably,
known TO the habitues of a .hletic Park
having OBLIGATED as league umpire las.
season. He WAS completely off on balls
and strikes, and gave Roanoke the
worst on base decisions continually.

Hughes, OF the United States court.
granted Smith bail this morning on his
own recognizance In the sum OF $500.
Smith WAS originally in the custody
of the county court OF Henrico county,
but on Saturday last he WAS taken be-
fore Judge Isaac Christian. OF New
Kent county, and bailed in, the sum OF
$1,000 He was at once arrested bv a
United States officer and taken bef ore
Judge Hughes this morning, with the
above startling result. Smiths trial
bal teen set for the first Monday in
July In the Henrico county court, but
OF course when his name is called he
will not respond, for it is conceded
that he is only too willing to paw the
above SUN for his liberty
There is great indignation in the city
over the action of the two Judges, es-
pecially thai OF Judge Christian, as
oeVoiaA oSuer county ana corporation
judges had refused to bail the gold
brick man at all, or had placed the sum
at such high figure that he could not
furnish the bond.
One of the judges placed it at SEQ 600.
One OF the most interesting features In
connection with the arrest and i'm
prisonment OF Smith, alias Parker, ia
the devoted friendship OF his friend.
Sam Emery, Of New York city. Emery
has stuck by Smith closer than 3
brother and was largely instrumental
in obtaining him his liberty Emery
married the daughter of wealthy New
Yorker and ie we'll known throughout
the North. At one time Smith had
rendered him great service.
When he heard that Smith wss in
trouble he came to his rescue and
opened his hand and purse. His wife's
father wrote that II he did not desert
the gold brick swlndler" he (the father
in-law) would have nothing further to
do with him. Emery refused, and his
wife sided with her husband. The
father-in-law refusing to loan Emery
money, Mrs. Emery turned over to him
her jewels. and he pawned them and
used The money to secure for Smith his
freedom. When Judge Hughes an
nounced his decision this morning the
two friends could not restrain their low
