CLUB STANDINGS.

Richmond made 1t three straight
from Danvlle yesterday afternoon by
| taking the Tobacconists into camp in
an interesting and well-played game
by 4 to 2. Wallaces slashing hit to
right-ncld In the fourth inning. with
! two down and men on second and third,
virtually won the game for the Law
| makers. for In tho ninth Salve let down
slightly, and was touched up for the
second and third hits gotten off his,
delivery for the nine rounds, anu
which scored for the visitors the run
which would otherwise have tied the
score.
With the exception OF the reckless
manner in which the southpaw, Salve.
doled out his six passes. the young
man was In remarkable form. AS
matter OF fact, his Offering OF bases
on balls but added zest to the game.
| for he would walk one or two men
and then calmly retire the others on
strikes or force them to pop ~ weak
| flies, which were well taken care OF by
| the fielders.
While It was Wallace's hit which
drove In the two winning tallies, Salves
himself aided materially by FASTING
out a neat single in the opening of
the fatal fourth. and was one OF the
two to score in that round. Until the
final session Salve was found for but
one lone bingle: but In that inning he
eased bit. and Bowen and Powell
took advantage.

It was Howard who was ae1hn I'D
ed grapefruit by the local dontin-9
gent. ION Friday night he begged SO
hard to go In yesterday that McKevitr
let him have his way, only to learn
that the Rube's twists were no cause
of fear to his opponents from this city,.
While ten hits Is not such an awful
hammering, still when they come OPP
portunely and are coupled with q
| passed ball, free walks and stolen
sacks. they are decidedly profitable to
the rival team; and 1t was just this
way yesterday. RUDE occasionally
showed excellent form. several times
pulling himself out OF nasty holes and
mailing down the lid. One example OF
this happened in the second, when,
with, but one down and bases full, heH
got by with his job by allowing but5
one man to score. and that was any
thing but his fault as he threw to
Edwards to catch O'Neil ut the plato
on Hinton's choice, and the catcher
lniscued on the heave.
In the first inning Wallace received
the glad hand from the 5000 loyals@
who had assembled to witness the
struggle by a beautiful throw from
deep centre to first, thereby holding
Doyle at the initial sack in fine style.
It was not only q long one. but flew
truesi into. Pops glove. and barely miss
! ed catching Doyle off tile sack. Another
piece of pretty work was made in the
fifth by Kirkpatrick. Howard pasted a.

ing the leather up. Kirk was twisted
into an assortment of bowknots that
would have been q credit to a profess
sional contortionist, but he never
| stopped and got Howard q mile by ono
OF the quickest exhibitions OF work
seen here this season.
In tho sixth Shaffer caused laugh
] and much jeering from the bleachers by
| pulling off that time honored and hoaryF
trick Of hiding the ball on runner a Il
first. Hessler pasted a fielders choice
to short, which forced Doyle out at se-5

Shaffer, but Doyle landed when the

| up for delivery. Doyle took a slight;
lead and was very much surprised
individual when Shaffer stepped over
| and touched him.
