The doubIc-header between Richmond
snd Reading yesterday resulted In an
EVEN break. much TO the surprise and
disgust Of about 500 people who went
out expecting to sec the locals win two
games. Reading had never before won
d contest here.
The first game was a travesty on the
sport. 1t was an exhibition of ball only
on the part Of Richmgnd Reading al

their work was slow and listless. The
second game was pretty enough, but II
was all spoiled when Reading walked
away victorious. Pete Woodruff
citizen OF Henrico county, who has
PLAYED some professional ball, was
dressed into service by Long, and won
his game hands down.
STARTED OUT TO WIN.
Umpire Rafferty, called play at 2:SO
o'clock sharp. and the fun began with
Richmond at bat. The boys commenced

over the lot and running the bases IKE

fairly well. and thus the game ended.
Taking what Richmond did alone, II
could be said that fairly good game had
been played. but looking at the other
