Of three games and in Portsmouthathle y;'
hop pc to be equally as good. In fact,I
there q are "A four games Il scheduled for
Portsmouth between to-day and We dnes-f

Fight for Third Place. @
Danyillo's strong team comes here the
latter part OF this week. and then there
will be the story Eof who gets into fourth ri
place. Upon the result Of three sor. four
games played here this week betweeN'
Richmond and Danyille will depend the
third position on the ladder for the pen
nant If Danyille. by any chance o.
misfortune, beats Richmond 1.-THE Tobac-;
conists Will slip gently up the ladder,
and the Richmond stock will fall about
forty per cent.
There is the difference Of only ten
points In the standing OF tho clubs at
this time, and one game will make n
lot OF difference In this. Had Richmond
lost on Saturday Danyille would have
been pushing the third place. 5
Moser may 90 to L Philadelphia and
play In the National League. The drafting
season has started and the major league
magnates are looking out for! good tim
Der. Aloser has helped to put SLynchburg
in the first place. He has won on an
average of eight out Of eyery4ten games
he pitched and has figured In some re-
markabe contests On Saturdayihe pit c1led
against Stanley, OF Norfolk, X and didn't
let Norfolk score in twelve innings. But
Stanley was Just as effective and the
Stanley is perhaps one the best pitchers
In the league and will land In big COM,

Personal Notes.
The Atlanta Georgian. the new paper
of Atlanta, and already G recognized
sporting authority, says that Billy Smith,
owner OF the Southern League club In
Atlanta. Is looking for Colonel franklin
Leslie Still, of Richmond Il i 5li{
81 The Colonel may DO 4 sold before the
senso. closes. He Is the star twirler Of
Richmond, and In fact. he hasn't a peer
In the league. Rich mond would have
been further down IN the percentage
column had 1t not been for the MASTER
full pitching OF Still NffsisT 5ls54
Smiling and Serene, ReYelle took his
defeat Saturday, He Is a happy fellow
whether he wins or loses and he pitches
llball that counts for hiHain the majority
OF the games, But II was a case OF Greek
meeting Greek when HAPPY Eckstono
stuck his foot In the box for the Law
makers. Eckstone came out the win
Tner. t1b G. aiiif$
~, Catcher Phil Hinton, who has been
out Of the game for some time on ac-
count OF q sore finger will get behind tho
bat this week, He will likely go to work
on "Wednesday. Hinton la ~ good catcher.
Mrs. Still, wife OF the popular pitcher
Of the Richmond team who for the
past two or three weeks has been at
her homo, Mt oliyette, Ky, has return-
ed to tho city. She will remain here
| until the end OF the season,
Mr.. A. ]. Hinton, brother OF Catcher
| Phil. Hinton, was In Richmond from
Baltimore yesterday Mr.. Hinton Will
accompany the team to Portsmouth and
| Will yell for Tho Lawmakers.
At nine o'clock this morning the crowd
will leave and they hope to return with
at least three games to their credit.
| Danyille ought to be easy here the
latter part Of the week. Richmond cer-
tainly doesn't care for the fourth sent,
