Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-07-29

Iancaster's ball team is capable oil
pl,ving good ball. and that is what they
are hired for. but they can't behave them
selves. and that IS what thog should be
made 10 do.
The Lancaster team has been TO kich-
mond for three series Of games ana the
members Of It have created disorder every
time they have been here. On their irst
visit Larocque nearly precpitated riot
and on their visit early in this month
he succeeded I'm raising a rumpus. In
this series Of games. which was con-
cludod yesterday, he behaved himself III
most eentlcmanly fashion, but not so

Seemingly. because they have not got
TO play I'm this city any more this season
land for that the maker OF the schedule
&c 70 be thanked Ward sicked his men
~ Umpire Belts. the most impartial UNI
rire I'm the league. and assisted by Man
.gar Rim. he and his followers created
disorder until he was put out OF the
o,me. and Manager Rim was elected
from the grounds. and then the payers
lea by Leidy. continued their disgrace
ful conduct until the close OF the game.
COARSE LANGUAGE USED.
The pcople who went TO Broad-Street
Park Yesterday afternoon paid their
money for entrance thereto with a view
of seeing "a game OF ball. They saw
faU PLAYING though most inferior game
was served up for them. but they also
SAW the most Jisgraceful conduct that
hall-player. can be capable OF. Ladies
were in the grandstand In abundance,
hut their presence had no effect upon the
burlv pruusylvanians Vulgar. coarse,
and proianc language was hurled across
The field at the umpire, and frequently
af the spectators. and great deal on
this the ladies' all Of whom love the
national game as well as the men do,
were forced 10 listen TO-
Enough though of this. The Lancas-
tsrans are not to return here again, and
criticism of their conduct will not result
IN any great benefit. The game was
only little better than the behavior OF
the visitors Richmond won it; there is
ttat much t0 De pleased at. but Lancaster
dlrf half wv 10 win. Instead of play
ln. the game as il should be played, Ward
and his men rosOrted 90 all kinds Of UNI
spousmau-like tricks TO get victory.
They kicked at everything Umpire Belts
sal and seemed bent on his destruction.
CLAUsEN vs.. SCHMIDT.
Causen the twirler from Sunny Italy,
was Iu to do the tossing for Lancaster,

Neither pitched "a particularly good game.
1u OF The two it may be said that
Schmidt had the best of the argument,
for though Doe was as wild as "a March

thereby Kept bis opponents down in their
