The game between Richmond and
the Cincinnati Reds, which was SEIZED
uled for Tuesday of this week, has
been cancelled. This news will be a
big disappointment to the fans of this
city, all of whom are ardent rooters
for the Reds The news was also a
great disappointment to Manager
Jessup.
Last evening Manager Jessup receiv-
ed telegram from Frank Bancroft,
business manager of the Reds, stating
that the game with Richmond would
have to be cancelled owing to the
weather conditions which would ne
cessitate the Reds playing off one of
the postponed championship games on
Tuesday.
Owing to the abominable weather
conditions this spring all over the
country. a large percentage of the
games in the National and American
leagues have been postponed and the
teams of these two organizations are
taking advantage of every open date in
their schedule to play off postponed
games, SO that large number of dou-
bic headers will not have to be played
off later on in the season.
Manager Jessup states that he will
make another effort to secure a date
with the Reds later on in the season.
Hanlon's colts are attracting much at
tention all over the country and the To-
cal fans are anxious to look these
youngsters over.
Only two games in this city have
been booked so far for this week Fri
day and Saturday the Quakers will give
battle to the crack Decatur team.
which has been defeating all corners
this season. No game has been ar
ranged for next Sunday, but Manager
Jessup is considering two or three
teams for the attraction on this date
1t is probable that the locals will play
at Lebanon on Wednesday and Thurs
day.
