A. last, Richmond is out of seventh
Mace. The Johnnies took two games from
paterson yesterday, and jumping over
philadelphia and Norfolk landed IN
eftb Mace with margin 10 spare.
After having been pursued by the hard-
est kind Of luck for the past SIX weeks
and after having been practically buried
IN seventh hole. the Johnny Rebs have
ashamed the Nemesis that has been FOL
lowing them. and they have at last struck
their gait, moving around the
course now at winning CLIP. Ihey
have played ten games here since their
return home, and have achieved seven
victories. Two OF the three games they
lost were taken from them by unfair
means but that is now a thing OF tho
mast. and the cranks who have stood
nobly by the team in its days OF ad-
yerslty are now happy.
PENNANT-wINNING BALL.
In very fact they are jubilant and
well may they be, for in the games played
here this week Richmond's team
has demonstrated, beyond question, that
It Is capable Of playing great ball, and
tho chances for landing the pennant
here are exceptionally good. The Pater-
son team is, by no means. poor one,
and In taking four straight games from
the silk City lads the Johnnies won
laurels OF which they have just cause
to feel proud.
The two games yesterday drew forth
"a L.
fans. and enthusiasts, double-header
Tor one admission being card that few
lovers OF the sport could withstand. The
nrst game started at 2:So o'clock, but
long before that hour the grandstand
and bleacheries were half filled. and the
crowd grew with each succeeding minute.
until before the first contest was well
under way almost every seat was
taken. and the crowd numbered about
5000 souls.
SCHMIDT TwIRLED WITH SKILL.
Everybody was enthusiastic and all
wanted TO see Richmond win. They used
their lungs. therefore, and If team ever
received encouragement from the specta-
tors the Richmond team did from that

yiau, Paterson's Adonis. went In for
the visitors. and when he stepped out on
the diamond with his hair nicely parted
down the centre aisle. his moustache
curied 10 a nicsty. and his face wreathed
IN smiles. he looked just too cute for any
thing. The hearts OF the lady spectators
warmed TO him. but the Johnnies had no
sentiment IN them. and they went at him
IN a most cold-booded manner. In the
1rst and second innings they batted him
unmercifully. and caused his face 70 lose
~ smile, his hair 10 lose It's part. and
hf4 moustache to loso its curl. In fact.
they a&ye him such drubDing as he
pyobahly hadn't received In a long time.
