NINE GOOD PITCHERS.

ihe Warrington Corps shows Itself to
BE Efficient. ..s -.
The game yesterday afternoon between
the Washington and Richmond clubs de-
veioped the fact that the local pitching
stan will prove to be one of the strongest
In the big league. Five or six of the Rich
mond players have well=earned regulations
OF being hard hitters. and the way they
have hit other league pitchers this spring
clearly demonstrated this reputation is not
misplaced. The trouble yesterday was not
the loss Of Riohmond's batting eye. but
the unusual strength in the box displayed
by Maui, King, Ashe and SWAIN
Both Maui and King were anxious To
demonstrate that their condition and abil-
ity We're as good ever, and the way they
worked made many Of the onlookers wish
That 1t was regular game. The balls
that went over the plate would have fooled
the best batters in the country. Maui did
not depend nearly so much on his head yes
terday as ne did on his arm. and the swift
paiis dld more execution than his slow
curves AL knows enough of the game to
be aware of the fact that swift balls in
the spring are the hardest to hit. and the
foxy twirler decided to keep his brain
ability in reserve for bigger sport
King also took the same way of working
the Richmond batters, by sending in his
celebrated cross-fire swift ones that were
frequently missed by foot.
Ashe came on the scene and the ONLY
nit OF the game was made off his delivery,
but run was still far away
Then the big Ohio boy. Swain, ambled to
tfe pitchers position. and as he had speed
to sell. the same old result followed.
After yesterdays game the conclusion
was reached that the entire staff of nine
pitchers on the Washington pay roll COM
prised exceptionally good men, and the
question now confronts Mr. Wagner which

q major and five subalterns wounded.
A detachment of Turkish cavalry
from Larissa approached the railway
between Pharsalos and Domokos, which
town is about ten miles south Of Phar-
salos, and in the Greek rear. The
Greek artillery opened fire upon the
enemy's cavalry at long range, and
after a heavy cannonading, forced the
Turks to retire, the Greek cavalry pur-
suing them.
The Turkish commander apparently
wished to surprise the Greeks at Phar-
salos and sent two army corps against
them, one from Trikhala and the other
from Larissss.
