We envy them the possession Of UNI

Smith said some time ago, was The best

than any umpire who has ever appeared
here. He Is conscientious, earnest in his
work, has good eye, and Is withal firm
with the players: If he don't get along
in Richmond it won't he because he's
not competent and impartial.

eighth. Had the Brooms batted any
ways up TO their usual form, The boy
would have had another vctoIy to his
credit. The score shows better than
anything else his effective work Only
thirty men faced him In eight innings
ana or the twnety-four outs twenty were
made on infield chances. Only three
went to the outtlelder. He allowed
three bases on balls. one or which scored.
as is usually the case LIT IS rather
difficult TO say wherein his effectiveness
lies. 1t is very well to ascrlbe good luck
to the first game he pitched but luck
doesn't account for the plain fact that
IN each OF his two games only six hits
We're made off him. That doesn't look
much like luck. He puts The ball over

The first game yesterday definitely
