WHY THEY DON'T VIZ.
No Club Can DO Itself Nor Its Friends JUS
tioeby Keeping Late Hours.

When the admirers Of the Richmond
team reads the reports Of the game the
club plays away from home and see that
they are losing right along. even when
they are opposed by weaker clubs. the
question naturally arises as to what can
be the matter.
1t is hardly necessary to ask the ques-
ton again, for from reliable source
comes the information that during the
late trip to Lancaster. as on the previous
one. some Of the Richmond players failed
TO seek the slumber that soothes until
the wee sma hours. nor did they refuse
TO partake OF the hospitality extended
them by the good fellows" around town
until II was too late to prevent them from
arising with a head not entirely clear.
This will never do. of course If the
Cherubs expect TO land anywhere near the
head Of the list. and until they conclude
TO seek their cOuches at a reasonable
hour and refrain from indulging IN the
tempting fluid TO excess. the success that
the friends Of the club at home wish them,
will never be realized.
