tDANVILLE, VA. May lit rained all
last night, and the sun that beamcd
down to-day shortly after IL o'clock
could not dry out the grounds enough
afor the Lawmakers to wallop the Tobnc-
Gconists, under Manager j. Benny. This
Is the first game in the league this sea-
son that has been postponed on account
OF rain.
Eckstone and Cowan will be the bat
terry Tomorrow for the Richmond aGgrc-
cation. and with the rest that the play
ers have gotten the game will almost
come into the camp Of the
,Rich1nond crowd. Manager Benny will
pitch Richard his star slab artist, and
Benny himself will be under the willow.
Rickard Is considar6d to.. be one of the
fastest twirers'.' in."the league. and he
has the faculty Of playing any other
position about MS we'll. In Portsmouth
last Saturday he caught the game and
threw five men out at second base.

iferred TO Richmond, and that when. Dan

after all, the rain will, perhaps, be q
financial blessing for both the Iawmal-
ers and tho Tobacconists. The enthu-
isiasm here is not quite as great rs that
shown by tho Lynchburg people. but this
is accounted for from the fact that this
