STANDING OF THE CLUES.

Pat Flaherty Manager Weiss sturdy
little utility man. made his 80 debut as
a pitcher yesterday. in the first Of a Sc
ries OF games with Reading, and did
splendid work. The only man that the
visitors got safely TO second scored. Tor
Pat held them well in hand all the time.
He was steady, and as cool as an Ice
berg from the first until the end. Not
once did he falter. but encouraged ~ the
men behind him by word and great play
ing. he kept right on duty. Up to the
eighth inning not a single player from
Reading had passed second base.
READINGS ONLY RUN MADE.
Murphy led of I'm the eighth and drove
the ball to left-centre for two bases,
while the next two men up went out
easy. Childs hit TO left for one base, and
"Pfanny," who was In for sick Ralph Sey-
bold. let the bah get away from him. ana
Readings pitcher scored.
The Champions went 10 work In the
first inning and mixed things up. -Four
rafting singles off Murphy, helped out
nv sacrifice hitting and base-running'
made five runs. The boys never let up on
Murphy. They gave Reading all kinds OF
trouble. and had them going so. that
seven errors. some Of them costly ones,
were piled up.
George Fox. who is certainly a great
catcher. was off in throwing, and clever
Mike Doherty had his troubles. The clubs
play again this afternoon.
Here's the score.

ROOF GARDEN CLOSED TONIGHT.
Three Ac's in the Bill Cancelled
The Park NaudeviIles.

There will be no performance at the
jefferson Roof Garden tonight. The en-
tertainment presented there last night did
not meet with the approval OF the people,
and it is the people to whom Manager
Wells is catering. Two acts on the bill
are exceptionally strong. but the other
three were not in the least entertaining.
Caron and Herbert. comedy acrobats. are
the best in their line yet seen in Rich
mond. They are finished acrobats, doing
skilful work, and their comedy is clean
and pure. AS a monolOguist Loney
Haskell ranks high with those that have
been seen here. lie drew laughter with
good humor, and the stories he gave out
were told in an original and entertaining
manner.
Mr.. Wells cancelled Lizzie Hall and
Gordon Eldrid. whose acts did not please.
and has wired to New York for three new
acts, 10 open tomorrow afternoon at the
matinee, which will be giyen at $3.50
O'clock. 1t is the intention Of Manager
Wells TO give the best shows possible or
none at all.
The vaudeville bill at Main-Street Park
last night was up TO the standard OF that
resort. and compared favorably with the
excellent one that preceded II. The
Gilmore sisters, the advertised head
liners, safely won that position with an
act that is novel and bright with fresh
Irish wit and humOr. Swift and Huber
who have a most original musical comedy
act shared with the ElinOres in the APP
plause. Whellen and Doyle. especially
Pat Doyle, did an act of expert dancing.
with plenty Of comedy thrown in, that
made them popular MaUde Amber, in
her singing act, also proved herself to be
equal 10 the other artists. Ernest
Ravens and Mabel Andrews presented a
sketch which, while not the very latest,
was very much enjoyed. The same bill
will be seen every night during this week,
with a matinee on Saturday.
Simmons and Slocum gave an enjoyable
performance at the Auditorium last night
The first part was particularly merito-
rious. A number or good songs were
rendered, and the jokes had not seen TOO
much service-not all of them. The oliO
was above the average and possessed
some merit. The work of The brilliant
comedy quartette was exceedingly clever
and was deserving OF the applause il re-
ceived. while the comedy business Of
Lew Simmons, Vie Richards. and Clark
Gibbs. ST.. caused much laughter. The
dancing by Clark Gibbs, Jr., was SPLEEN

special matinee performance will be
given the Richmond and Manchester
newsboys tomorrow afternoon at 2:30
o'clock, and the regular performances Will
be given all the week.

HUE AND CRY IN THE COUNTY.
Patrons Didn't want Miss Southern
Deposcd, ana Are Making Protests.

The trustees of the schools of Henrico
seem to have made their meetings this
year memorable by the changes they
made in teachers. A number of teachers
have been transferred from school 10
school. and in some instances complaint
at their action has arisen.
The fight in behalf OF Miss Goodwin, OF
the FairmOunt High School, by the pa
irons is ocCasioning much comment and
sympathy. Another cry is raised now IN
Narina District. The Pioneer School was
taught last year by Miss Henrietta South
ern, of this city. The patrons liked her
very much, indeed. Recently Miss Todd
of Chestnut Hin, was named TO take her
place. There is no objection TO Miss TODD.
particularly, but the patrons say they
have tried Miss Southern, and like her,
and don't see the necessity for a change.
1t is probable that the county board
took the step they did on the ground that
Miss Southern was a nonresident II is
well known that Richmond has a school
law that the county applicants shah not
be appointed teachers in the city schools
as long as there are resident applicants
in Just as good standing. This rubbed
the county the wrong way. and q rule
operative in like manner against Rich
mond was adopted by the county board.
