RICHMOND WINS
PUSHBALL CAME
Petersbu7gers Fall Before Home
Team in Richmond's First
Game This Season.
FIVE GOALS TO A BLANK
Humorous Side of Game Kept
Audience in Roar OF
Laughter.

Five % nothing IN favor % Richmond.
Tho Arst pushbau game OF the year
was played last night between teams
representing Petersburg and Richmond
with the foregoing result. The Rich
uoud team pushed the big ball when
ever and wherever they wished. and
showed superiority In all the points OF
the game. which seemed 70 be covered
by the one vcrd, push.
on account Of the newness OF the game.
the spectators we're ignorant Of It's fine
points. but reveled IN the side-splitting
antics Of the players in their attempts
% push the big ball over the goal line.
After the first Ave minutes Of play both
sides were covered with the dust and
Crime from the floor. and which was
gotten as much from contact with the
ball as with the hoor.
To stand upright on rollers - as much
az many men can do, and how the players
managed 10 push with their handicap was
more than could be reasoned out. They
ala stand Up. however. and pushed the
ball over for i've goals.
one Of the most ridiculous features OF
the game vas the action OF the substf-
tutcs or both sides, who were only al
lowed 10 enter the game when a player
lost skate. When this happened the
substitute. who kept about twenty FIVE
feet 10 the rear o. the ball. would take a
running start and 30 for the ball. the
speed with which was only excelled by
the hghning-like rapidity OF retirement.
he generally landed In a sitting posture
or on the back 81 his neck. This diver
sion always elected a large amount OF
applause from the spectators
Pushed Over Heads.
Occasionally the steady grind Of the
showers would be relieved by the ball ris-
ing into the air and being pushed over
The heads o. one OF the teams and rolling
along the floor, with both teams IN
wild scramble 20 take a hand IN retard-
ing Il or sending II along Generally
about six Of the men went to the Goor
on this play and were walked over by
the rest Shins stood no show at all
in the scrambles. and the man who went
down got ample satisfaction on the shin
bones % his rivals
The game was divided into two halves
Of ten minutes each. and an intermission
Of i've minutes. During the intermission
tho players skated or talked with the fem
mime admirers Of the game. Dirt made
no difference The maidens were enthu-
siastic over the newest form Of hero
that Richmond knows. and lent their
sweetest smiles FOR the occasion.
The Petersburg team left with the tn
tention OF returning again and trying the
game over with the Richmonders. who
gladly accepted the challenge. The line
up was as follows:

ton Of Hills Roads.
Washington, Dec. 2. = Once again
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
clhc railroad companies are under sus
picion by the government of violating
the antitrust law.
Complaints have been received by
the interstate commerce commission
that in spite of the decree of the SUI
preme court dissolving the Northern
Securities company. formed to destroy
competition between the railroad prop
critics named, they have renewed their
combination under a different form.
and as result constitute monopoly
In restraint of trade and commerce
There is reason to believe these COM
plants will be made the subject of
exhaustive investigation.
A large shipper. who is thoroughly
;ognizant with the shipping conditions
on both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. says that there is no
doubt whatever that the two railroads
act In thorough accord in fixing rates
upon freight. He stated that farmers
N the region traversed by the roads.
time and time again, had experienced
delay and even damage through the
absence OF competition. What was
true of the farmers was also true of
other producers and manufacturers.
In consequence of the lack of COM
petition, it has not been necessary FOR
the two lines to build as MANY spurs
as nights otherwise have been con-
structed, with the result that the de-
velopment OF the territory has been
retarded
