timore orioles, the champions OF the Ma
tional League, will reach Richmond this
morning AT 1880 o'clock. and will play the
Bluebirds this afternoon and tomorrow.
Everybody wants TO see the Champions.
and as Brandt will twirl for them this
afternoon, a large crowd will no doubt
be out.
Popular sentiment being against Bob
I Pendcr. the Richmond management have
put him on the bench. and 1t is under
stood that he viii be released. Kahn has
been put on second base, and is doing
well there. The management will do
well TO keep him in that position, as he
| is good inhelder and hits the ball well
now.
Elseys playing IN centrefeld does not
/ come up TO what was expected Of him.
There is some excuse for this though. as
| he doesn't profess to be an outiielder.
| He is a nrst-class indelder, and hits the
| bail lively, and II will be a pity If some
profitable use cannot be made Of him.
Elberfeld is the favorite on the team
now. He is certainly a good one and

Manager Wells will find il hard TO de-
eide as to which pitchers 10 keep and
! which to release. He can't retain but
five as he doesn't need more, but ms
whole string is so good that he. as well
as the cranks, will find ii hard to let any
Of them so.
In selecting this years team Manager
Wells has shown excellent judgment. lie

and the cranks are well pleased.
The difference between Sholta and Mr.
Bradley has not been settled. and Charley
has not been signed. He is good man,

pay him his price he should be at least
