Richmond fairly overwhelmed Roam
oke in the second baseball game Of the
series at Broad Street Park yesterday
afternoon. Pitcher Wills who es-
sayed that role for the Magicians, had
apparently lost his cunning. and the
drubbing ne received, can only be fairly
characterized as a slaughter. This tall
and dignihed young man. who hasi
and often defeated them, had day

visitors been able to hit Salve's deliv-

such a handicap.
The Richmond batting fest was be-
