1RICG co. PUTTING OFF MEN
Several Hundred Have Been Discharged
and Others viii Follow.

Several hundred men have recently
been put off at the Trigg Shipyards,
There is scarcely a department that has
not or will not suffer to some extent The
men are told when they are discharged
that this is being done to cut down ex-
penses.
1t is well-known that the yards are
spending thousands OF dollars in i'm
provements and for that reason special
effort is being made to lessen other ex-
pense as much as possible Mr. Myer is
out of the city. Mr.. Nelson. the super
ntendent says he was telegraphed by
Mr. Myer to lay the men off and that IS
all he knows about 1t. 1t IS positive
that the men are not being let off solely
on account OF the lack OF coal. for some
in most every department are going.
and even the draughtsmen are likely to
suffer to some extent.
1t was learned yesterday that the money
which the company has been trying TO
get for the purpose Of permanent I'M
/provements was in sight. Many Rich
mond people have expressed their con-
fidenoe in the future of this enterprise
by putting their money into It. Northern
people have done likewise.

LEAGUE is OPENED
RICHMOND WINS
Broad Street Park the Scene of
an Exciting Contest
Yesterday.

In the presence Of the largest crowd
that has turned out to see a baseball
game in Richmond in several years. the
first game IN the Tr-Ctty League was
played yesterday afternoon at Broad
Street Park. the contesting teams being
the Fulton Brownies. of this city, and
&. an all star team from Petersburg. The
local team was victorious. winning in
the ninth inning. The final score was
eight to five
While a better article Of ball may have
been seen in Richmond when the city
had paid team Of professionals. 1t is
extremely doubtful If they ever wit
messed a more thoroughly interesting
and exciting game than the two semi
professional aggrega tons put up yeSter-
day afternoon From the minute the
first ball was tossed over the plate until
the last man had been retired in the
ninth inning the game was full Of in
terest
Promptly at 4:SD O'clock the president
of the newly organized league Charley
Donati. ordered the. two teams upon the
diamond tossing to the umpire two
pretty. white, new balls, and a the same
moment the large number of rocters in
the grand stand set up a howl for the
Richmond boys.
GOOD PITCHING.
The local team was first at the bat
but they were unable to do anything
with the curves of Pitcher Thomas
whom the Petersburg captain decided to
show upon the slab The men went out
in one, two, three order. Petersburg sue
ceeded in pushing three men over the
plate in their half of the same inning,
and it looked extremely gloomy for the
home team. many of their most ardent
admirers predicting a walkover for the
visitors
In the second inning Richmond loosen
ed up a little. and one run was scored.
When Petersburg came to the bat IN
their half of the second they faced new
pitcher, Anthony who started in to
pitch, having been replaced by John Nc
Evoy The change had the desired re-
suit, and for four innings the visitors
failed to get a man any further tnar
third base.
Slowly the home team overlook the
visitors. tying the score In the fifth and
passing them in the sixth inning. But
in their half Of the seventh inning the
Petersburg boys swatted the ball several
hard ticks. and the score was again tied.
In the eighth inning. with three men on
bases and no one out, McEvoy settled
down to business and retired the side
without allowing a run to be scored. He
was roundly applauded for this splendid
work
In the ninth inning, with three men on
bases, Hogan, the Richmond right
fielder. found the sphere for safe hit.
scoring two of the three final runs. Tho
other was brought in by a sacrifice hit.
President Donati says he is confident
of working up interest in the game in
Richmond again. He was very much
elated over the magnificent crowd which
turned out yesterday. over 1.5o0 paid
admissions being taken at the gate.
If the Tri-City League proves a success
this year it is probable that State
ieague will be organized next spring. in
which event Richmond will be given base
ball of the very best kind all summer.
