PLAY I'm Richmond TO-Morrow.

The Richmond baseball team VIII re-
turn home this afternoon. and beginning
tomorrow afternoon they will com
mcncc a series Of games at Broad-Srcet
Park with the Lancaster club.
The Johnnies lost two games yester-
day. and their percentage was CORE
spOndingly decreased. On the whole,
though. they have done very well on
the trip. They have been away for two
weeks and during that time have
played eight games They lost three and
won three and tied two, hence, they are
really no worse Off than when they left.
They have three weeks TO stay here,
and viii play during that time more
than twenty games. They ought 10 win
q majority of these games, and it is
more than likely that they will do so.
hence their chances for ascpdng the
ladder are still very bright notwith-
standing the cloud that was cast upon
them yesterday in the Connecticut VIII
lage.
AS has been the case on all previous
trims. the Johnnics have had adverse UNI
bring 10 contend with, and the elements
have also been against them, but, on the
whole, they have done better than on
any previous trip, and are in a first
class loSltol ~ h'biiA tiiN'A N'Ah az
home.
They stm hold fourth place. with
plenty Of room 10 spare. but as Hart
ford is to tackle Reading for the next
three games. there is little hope Of their
going into third place for some days
to come.
Now that Newark has struck the
grease on the toboggan, she is likely
10 be IN our company in little while,
and as Lancasters leaders tackle us for
three games. there is a possibility Of our
showing Hartford to the top and follow
ing her into second hole.
The pennant fight seems to have mar
rowed down TO Richmond, Newark. Ian
caster. and Hartford, and Richmond real
" stands an excellent chance Of carry
ing off the rag.
Norfolk managed to win a game yes
terday but she lost one. too. Paterson
