IT WAS GREAT SLUGGlNG.
THE EICHMONDS DEFEAT THE MA
GICIANS EASILY.
o.or.13 to 6-The visitors Banged the Bali
mt ell Stagss-The slaughter Began
in the First Inning.

ROANOKE, VA. June lO.-spcciaL-
The story OF to-day's game can be breiny
told. Richmond banged the ball at all
stages. and knocked out home-runs'
tripleg doubles. and singles until they
became tired. They made IS safe hits FOR
a total OF IS bases. 1t was one OF the
greatest exhibitions OF slugging ever seen
here.
The Richmonds started the slaughter IN
the first inning. and kept it up through
ont the whole contest. Kain. Houseman,
Foster and MCGOWAN made home-runs.
CAPTAIN Wells cracked out triple ana
three singles, and every man on the
team his safely except Berte. Flynn was
also hit hard in the latter part or the
game. but Il was impossible 10 overcome
the big lead Richmond has secured.
Both teams gave a fine eNhlDiton OF
fielding. Houseman. Groves, and farreu
leading. A young giant by the name ol
Haney, who claims buchanan as Ms
home. was put I'm the box for Roanoke IN
the eighth inning. He had good speed
but evidently has no idea OF pitching. III
the one inning he ofiiciated he was toucn-
ed I'D for three singles and double,
The feature OF the game, outside OF the
batting Of Richmond. was the miserable
umpiring OF Mclaughlin. He roasted the
home team numerically. although MS
decisions did not affect the result.
