is the jolliest. funniest. and best-natured
payer i'm the Virginia state League. As
a centre-felda~. he has no equal in this
league He will take any chance. no
matter how desperate it may be. and he
generally succeeds in getting 1t. HIS
judgment on long flies is marvellous; IN
fact. Groves understands the game, and
he plays IT,
He covers az immense amount or terri
tory. and gets into every play that ne
possibly can. Groves is one of the
surest and hardest-hitting batters in the
league and Is extremely fast on the
bases. What would for nearly any other
player be only a two-bagger he Will take
three bases on. and sometimes four.
Groves is a red-hOt favorite IN this
city. and no player on the team has
more admirers. or holds a warmer spot
IN the hearts of the Richmond public
generally than does Clifford Groves.
