Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-05-31

Yesterday being a holiday throughout
the country, two ball games were sched-
uled all through the Atlantic League
circuit, and in all the cities save Rich
mond two games were played. Here,
however, only the morning game could
be played as in the afternoon the heavy
storm which swept over the city ended
the contest IN the fourth inning
AS a result Of yesterdays contests,
Lancaster lost first place. going down TO
the second hole. and Richmond crawled
up over the shoulders of Reading to
third place, while Norfolk yielded fifth
place TO Paterson, sinking back to sixth.
Hot contests took place in all the
cities. and some exciting plays are said
to have been made almost everywhere.
The scores in several instances were very
close. There were three shut-outs. The
crowds, as a rule, were large.
The Richmond and Norfolk clubs met
here for the first time. The CLANS
barely escaped withdrawing in the
morning, but in the afternoon the score
was tied. when rain broke up the game.
These clubs play here again this after
noon.

THE GAME BROKEN UP BY RAIN.
The Contest stopped I'm the Fourth
Inning When the Score stood Even.

Nearly 1000 people were at Broad
Street Park to see the afternoon game,
and they saw four innings Of first-class
ball-playing, marked throughout by in
tense excitement.
When the two teams started to play,
there was not a cloud on the horizon,
and no indication that a storm was brew
ing. but they had not been at work
long before gale Of wind swept over
the diamond, and then. in the middle of
the third inning. a perfect deluge OF rain
fell. driving the players to cover, and
forcing the unfortunates who occupied
seats on the bleacheries to seek shelter
where they might. Those in the grand
stand were not altogether free from the
annoyance OF being wet. for the rain
beat in through the stand at times in
a most disagreeable fashion.
ANOTHER SHOWER CAME.
This discomfort would not have been
minded by the cranks, had the elements
permitted the game to be played out.
This. however. old Jupiter had no idea
of doing. After a river Of water had
fallen on the diamond, the clouds broke
for awhile. and the ball-players went
back. 1t took Richmond but a few min
utes TO make two runs, and then Norfolk
came to the bat. Stocksdale was in to
toss for the locals, and somehow or other
he couldn't fool the CLANS, and ere their
half Of the inning had been concluded
they, too, had sent two men over the
plate and tied the score.
In the fourth. Richmond could do
naught with Bishops delivery. and he
downed the Bluebirds in one,- two,- three
order. Then Norfolk took another try
at Stocksdale, and in less time than it
takes 10 tell II almost, the corners were
full Of Cunning Hams, and but one man
was out. Stocksdale then, for the first
time apparently, realized that he was
up against 1t hard, and he pitched great
ball. causing the next two men who con-
fronted him TO perforate the atmosphere
That retired the side and relieved the
tension under which the cranks had been
suffering, but other troubles were in
sight The clouds had gathered again,
and Richmond had hardly started the
fifth inning, when rain again fell in tor
rents and the game was ended.
The appended score will show what had
been done when the contest ended:

Jake Going North Tonight.

Manager Wells will leave tonight FOL
Philadelphia. whittier he goes to attend
a called meeting of the Atlantic League
magnates.
Jake talks Interestingly or the trip from
which his men have just returned. In
all his baseball experience he says he
never had such a deal as was handed out
I'm Reading when Tate declared the game
forfeited because Richmond was a few
minutes late arriving. Jake does not
hold Pop responsible, because the ex-
umpire was a victim OF circumstances.
The Richmond team got into Reading on
a late train, hurried into uniforms, and
reached the park at three minutes past 5
O'Clock. The game had been forfeited at
o'clock. Tate gave Wells statement
of the facts, and Richmond's manager
went directly to Philadelphia and laid
the matter before President Barrow, who
assured him the game would not count
against Richmond. Mr. Wells asked about
the Newark protested contest, in which
the disqualified player, Calhoun, took
part. and was told that that game also
would be given to Richmond.
Kluseman is now the managing captain
OF the Norfolk team since the release or

fielder of the Norfolk team. has been
sold TO Newark. Claude is still here. and
says he will not go to Newark. Manager
Cunningham says he will have TO go,

thing.

spent portions Of the day at either Forest
hill Park, the Reservoir, or Lakeside
Park
There were also several picnics and out
ings by clubs, unions. and social .organi-
cations. Notably among these was the
annual outing of the McGill Catholic
Union to the beautiful homestead of Mrs.
warwick. on the Brook road The day
was pleasantly passed by a large number
Of the members. Various games were in
dulged in-base-ball, rifle shooting. run
ming races, sack race, quot pitching, etc.
Refreshments were served in abundance.

lows: One-hundred-yard dash, John f.
Epps. Jr.; sack race, John j. Rafferty,:
shooting match Philip ]. Ryan; quot
pitching, John Amrhein; three-legged
race, j. E. Epps and L. L. Lynch jump
ing contest, j. n. Dart.

all day. A number Of persons came from
the country districts, and combined BUSH
ness with pleasure to the extent that all
the morning the retail merchants did a
good business.
The Atlantic-Coast Line brought In two
large trains. loaded with human freight
One came from Farmville, and brought
80 people; the other from Norfolk, and
