A VERY CLOSE GAME.
BOSTON WINS. nut HAS TO FIGHT
HARD FOR VICTORY.
TEN-INHNG CONTEST PLAYED.
The Bcaneaters Find worthy Foes In
the Bluebirds, and a Lively Fight
ting-Two Home-Run Drives.

oh. we'll; the Richmond team is not sc
warm, but my. how they did play those
Beeneaters yesterday Made confident
by the victory they had achieved over
Selee's boys In Charlotte a week ago.
the Blueblrds went on the diamond yes
terday, determined to do big things.
About 1900 people were on the bleach
cries and In the grandstand to cheer and
urge the locals on to do their best, and
with Stocksdale in the box, the Bindings
went at the Beaneaters in o manner
which gave rise to the suspicion that they
had intents on the game. They played
like soldiers in the field. and at the bat
they did some exceedingly clever work.
MANY BRILLIANT PLAYS.
They did not win the game but they
came mighty near IT; so near, indeed,
that the Bostonians were kept on the
alert from start to finish, and had their
hands full In rapping out victory. The
game abounded in brilliant plays and al
together was one OF the best exhibitions
seen here In many a day. Richmond took
the lead in the second inning, and with
the exception of a short time in the
third. held ii until the sixth, when Boston
forged to the front and held the fort.
In the ninth Richmond needed two
runs to tie the score. and the Bluebirds
put their shoulders to the wheel and got
them. The crowd went wild with delight
when this feat was accomplished. but
their delight was short lived. for In the
tenth, which was made necessary by
Richmonds clever work, Boston made the
winning run and the game was ended.
SEYBOLD'S STICK WORK.
Seybold was the star Of the game. He
used his bat in vigorous manner and
raped out two home runs-the first Of
the season-one of them going over left
field fence and landing against the resi-
dence next door. The homer that counted
most. though, was I'm the ninth inning,
and by it the score was tied. Seybold had
hardly grasped his bat when some one
on the bleacheres called to him to rap
out another home run. He raped ii, too,
driving the horsehide down into deep CEN
tire. The sphere kept within the en-
closure, but IL went far enough TO enable
Seybold to circle the bags, and he was
promptly lionized, hats being thrown into
the air and lungs being subjected 20
severe tests.
The Boston boys played the very best
they knew how. and their victory was a
hard-earned one. The details Of the play
will be found in the appended score:
