FOR The ORIOLES
Manager shaffer,s Grew, With
Few Exceptions, Pinned for
To-Day's Game.
THE PROBABLE LINEUP
Long or Mull1a1l May Pitch for
ACKNOWLEDGMENT or Green
May Twirl for Visitors.

Manager Jack Dunn and his band OF
ball-tosscrs from Baltimore will reach
Richmond this afternoon for the first Of
a. series Of two games with the Law
1s,akers. During the past few weeks that
the Orioles have been in training they
have been going at a rapid pace, under
the instruction Of their new manager, and
Manager Shaffer's aggregation will have
to go some to beat them when they clash
at the Broad Street Park at 4 O'Clock.
All the locals, except shaffor and Pitch
crs Still and Derby, are In prime condi-
tion, and they will be able to present a
strong lineup for to-day's game. 1t has
not yet been decided who will be on the
firing line for Richmond. but it is prob
able that Long or N1ulhall will serve 'em
over. Derby is Just recuperating from an
attack Of grip, which he got in the game
with "Old Fox" Grlffiths Hghlanders on
Friday, and Colonel Stills business arm
As hardly timber enough to allow him to
be used. Who will be In the pit for Bal
timore is also vet unknown, but it is
more than likely that Burchell or Green
will do the twirling for the visitors.
The probable complete lineup will be:
Richmond--Ti tman, right field; Reeve,
shortstop; Ileff ron or Kelley, left-held;
Wallace. centre-neld; Kirkpatrick, third
base; O'Neil, second base; Cowan, first
base; Hinton or Vetter, catcher; Long
or Mulhall, pitcher.
Baltimore-o' Hare, left-neld: Hall,
shortstop; Dunn, second-base: Demmitt.
centre field; Byers or Ahearn. catcher:
Hunter, first-base; Crookes, frightened:
Lynch, third base; Burchell or Green
pitcher.
