were treated TO n smuggling match. The
Baltimore team won. as a matter Of
course. but Richmond's Bluebirds hit
the ball in a lively manner. and 81 one
time had the orioles on the jump. All
OF this naturally delighted the spectators
and for a time the crowd which covered
the bleacheries, and ever and anon SILVER
% from the cold. was a smiling and
happy one.
From the outset the contest was ex-
citing. and the bali was kept almost con-
tuuously on the bound. The first man
20 grasp the willow in the first inning
was Klopf. the able guardian Of Rich
m1nd's short-held. and he made vicious
stab al one OF the curves Jimmy Nc
James sent him for dissection. and be-
fore Jimmy realized what had happened
the ball was bounding over against CEN
t-s-feld fence. and Klopf had circled the
corners as far as third bag. He came
homo in few moments on a high fly
90 centre, which Le by raped out.
scHIuDTs PUZZLES UNRAVELLED.
When the Baltlmoreans came TO the
bat they were confronted by Schmidt,
the little wizard who in Charlotte last
week kept Boston's lads on the hip.
s.hmidty was in good form and mixed
'em up in great shape, but the Orioles,
somehow or other, were on 10 him from
The start. and they pounded the ball all
over the lot They batted out three
runs before they stopped in the first in
ming. but when in the second Dundon
lel Off for Richmond with two-oagger
and scored on a pair Of passed balls. the
r.oters cheered up and felt that their
heroes had @ chance for victory.

had been rendering decisions as TO the
points Of the game called foul fair

head 20 such an extent that he threw
vide az first and permitted three men
o. cross the rubber before the sphere
could be returned The runs We're prac-
.caly given 20 Baltimore by Tate, and
Tor a time this took all the life out Of
The game.
THE LOCALS RALLIED.
In the fifth inning however. the Blue
birds rallied, and getting ON TO Nc
yames's delivery. they batted him out OF
the box. Five hits. with total or
seven bases, were made off him In this
one inning. and as result five runs

seemed 10 let down entirely, and The
Orioles added four runs 10 their score.
They hit Schmidt IN lively fashion, Dut
were very materially assisted in Their
rln-getting by very rank error MADE
BY Dundon.
