Richmond and the Pennanf.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Saskatchewan Richmond Is SIN lead
ing the Virginia State League IN the
race for the pennant. Judging from the
recent tobOggan slide that We have taken
IN the last two weeks. our team Will
soon fan 20 third place. and probably
'ower. and why? For two reasons--yiz.
First. the lack OF heavy hitters ana.
second, the lack OF good pitchers. IL
seems rather strange that Richmond
should be an asylum rOr casf-ofr players.
Lately we have signed SIR. Kelly. a
Lynchburg csstaVay, and Mr. Bradley.
4 released Roanoke fielder. Now. K these
men are not good enough for other State
teams. why should Richmond sign them?
The Richmond audience Is recognized as
the largest TO attend games Of ball !n
the whole State, and as this city Is the
main support Of two-thrds OF the
clubs IN the league, the people have a
right TO expect the best team. Other
clubs can get nrst-class players; why
can't .we2
Get a hustle on you. Messrs. Bradley
and Wells and secure US such new men
as VIII insure US better ball and win us
the pennant. We want II, and we must
have IL. ROOTEk.

Chard and Dinsmore were the opposing
pitchers, and barring the third inning,
when Dinsmore was touched up for four
singles and a three-bagger. both men
pitched great ball.
The work OF Chard was particularly
good. he only allowing seven scattering
hits and striking out that number OF the
opposing batsmen. During the whole
nine innings the visitors never got a man
beyond second base. the only man at
tempting TO reach It being thrown out by
a magnificent throw Of Thornton in the
seventh inning.
The fielding OF this player was excep-
tionaHy good. as was also that OF OLA

For the Richmonds the work OF Groves,

mention. The Stick work OF Corcoran
