.BUFFALOES BEAT
THE LAWMAKERS.
Locals Go to Pieces, and the
Bisons Have an Easy Victory.
.Score 8 to s.

The Buffaioes buffaloed the Lawinak-
crs for fair at the park yesterday ar
ternoon, winning by the score OF 8 to
s, and might have made 1t worse IL
they had tried. Half the locals had an
Off day and made rank plays. Until
td nth inning things were going
smoothly for Richmond, which up to
then had secured tho only run. But
after that the team went to pieces.
or course, there were exceptions, but
for the most part the players were
way UP In the air.
small and sarcastic crowd was In
attendance, and they handed the home
team all the lemons they had In stock,
which naturally was discouraging and
made matters worse. Archer went into
the game With sore arm. but pitched
four good innings. scattering his hits
and pulling out OF a dangerous hole
sistent at first, and got two OF the
locals seven hits. Riggs was in his
usla, good trim at centre.
The visitors proved to be strong
combination, and promise to put up q
hot fight for the pennant In the Eastern
League. Mattress. who looks and plays
like Elberfed, of the New York Amer
leans, put up nice game at short. and
Captain Smith was there with one or
two srandstand plays at second.
Pitcher Mcconnell is not only puz-
zling twirler, but also heavy hitter.
Out of three times UP he singled twice
| and went out once on long drive to
centre field.
To-day tho visitors will be seen here
for their second and last time How
ard will be seen in the box for Rich
mond. while Long and Sparks Will be
ready to relieve him. Cowan will
catch, and the lineup otherwise Will
be the same as yesterday. For Buffalo.
| Knapp and Milligan will pitch and
Ryan will back up the home plate.
| The other positions Will remain the
same.
on account Of the recent cold winds

sore arms jackson hurt his finger
last Saturday but is expected to be In
trim for the game with Princeton to-
morrow.
In the first the Bisons were retired
| in short order. For the Lawmakers,
Heffron walked and Lipe sacrificed him
to second. He went out at third, how
ever when Kanzler got to first on a
| helder's choice. Smith fumbled Rigss's
grounder, and with a man on first and
/ second. Strader flew out to centre. The
| Lawmakers in the next inning exc
cuted pretty and the only double.
| Schirm reached first on balls. Then
| Whitney sent short fly to Strader
who doubled Schirm at first. Strader
got two outs and an assist in this in
ming by catching Keister's fly.
| Murray led off with double in the
| fourth, and Schirm sacrificed him to
third. Archer got busy then, striking
| out Whitney and allowing keister to
| ground to Kanzler. The locals came
back at their opponents by scoring.
Kanzler fouled to third. but RIGGS sent
| a whizzilsg single to deep centre. He
stole second, and Strader walked. Then
| Ison came UP with pretty two-bagger
scoring Riggs and sending Strader &c
third. Morgan fouled 80 third, and

For Carolina, the playing Of Haniil-

1t looks as though the recent
agitation over the alleged choice
of Chamberlain as United States
Senator through the operation of
Statement No. 1, was premature.
1t appears that the new statute
instructing members of the legls-
lature to vote for the Senatorial
candidate receiving the highest
number of votes at the general
election was not a law in fact
until made so by the last June
election. Consequently it cannot
be considered as binding upon
the legislators chosen at that
election.
