Week. 55.

The Lawmakers will be, here for five

On wednesday double-header-the

with Roanoke. Memorial. Day IS gen

N-hew. but some team would have tc
hustle to keep in first place.
On Monday and Tuesday the Richmond
nine will play In Norfolk. 1t will be the
second time the teams have met and II
the Richmond boys don't at least break
even, there will be very fast playin on
the part Of the crew Of the Mary Jane
j. F. Moore, OF Massachusetts,, has been
appointed an umpire for the Virginia
League TO succeed Umpire Bishop, who
has resigned Mr.. Moore may be here
for to-days game. He comes highly re-
commended as an efficient umpire.
Mr.. Bishop, who has handled the In
dictator thus far this season with the
Virginia League. may accept a position
with one OF the teams In the leagues to
pitch. He is a southpaw and has speed
and curves that have fooled the best OF
batters.
Cuddy's triple play. together with his
home run yesterday, will not soon he for
gotten In Richmond. He set the pace
and the pace Ia hot enough to keep them
all guessing for months to come.
Richmond people are rejoicing with the
Portsmouth fans. Since Barley Kahn took
charge OF the Truckers. there has been
only one defeat, and Richmond delivered
this after very hard fought game. Bar
lev must have injected some ginger into
the team.
Lee Sharp, It will be remembered, is
with the Portsmouth aggregation now,
and he is playing for his very life. Lee
krows the game and can be used at most
any place in pinch.
Roanoke had new man In the box
Yesterday, and his name was Cassidy.
Maybe the similarity between this name
and the name OF Casey had something
to do with the downfall Of the Shoe
makers.
Lynchburg and Norfolk both took a
tumble yesterday, and Richmond sneak
ed up step on the ladder towards the
pennant.
One game either way may not at the
time appear to amount to anything. but
Just to demonstrate that everything
counts. II Richmond had taken the game
Thursday-that Chinese game--she would
now have been In second place. Every
game counts In hot race for the pen
nant.
Roanoke and Danvle have been play
Ing with each other for the past week
for fourth place. Danville slipped back
into fifth place yesterday and Roanoke
took the round on the ladder 1t had pre-
viously occupied
Mckenzie. Danvilles first baseman put
two balls In almost the same place IN
right field yesterday afternoon, and both
counted 10 rthree bases.

Z. Robbins Of Pittsburg, president of

Rotary. The committee On credentials
was then announced. ..t --..
It was understood that the operators
of the Southwestern field have notified
the Central field operators that they
were opposed to joining the latter in
conference with the miners.
AS the demand of the miners tc

would fail in effect should the oper
Isators of that field stay out it was
thought possible that this would clear
