There was series OF reports like
the rattle OF musketry out in the
western part Of town yesterday, max.
Ing many people believe that Grimess
battery was attacking Richmond. In.
vestigation, however. showed that It
was not Grimes's battery. but Lipe's
batters pounding the ball all over the
lot in the first inning OF the game
with Captain Pender's sailors.
All the damage came in the two
first sk,rmishes, the defenders OF Rich
mond being apparently sick Of the
slaughter. AT sunset the scoreboara
read:
Richmond. Il: Norfolk. i.
When 1t was all over General Lipe
led his victorious army back to tho
fort on Main Street; the 1000 camp
followers crept silently to their homes.
but the first star Of night found the
dazed Captain Pender still sitting on
the players bench, trying to account
for the dead and wounded.
The Crew started out with rush.,
lust as 1t did in the first game here
last time, but far less successfully.
Erode cracked short liner to centre
for one base. and Bonner followed WIN
hot grounder to the same place

ard second, but Afessitt gobbled up
Jackson's foul. A wild pitch scored
Brodie, but Haas famed.

Then the Lawmakers got busy. Hel-
from biffed short fly to right. which
Jackson juggled for half minute, but
finally held 1t safe.
Lipe worked Perdue for four balls,
going to second as Kanzler went out
at first. AT this stage the rapid-fire
battery swung into action. Stinson--

singled past second, the giant Sand
herr walloped beauty into the left
field bleachers for two bags: Titman
sent single shot into the left flank
of the enemy; 1son was safe at first
on Toner'S error. and the mighty Mes
slit wound up by discharging a twelve
pound shot into the left field bleachers,
while from far-off-Texas came the
refrain OF the loyal Exile:
$50 Revelle. Doyle. Kanzler-your
other Napoleons-
Are all splendid fellowship not
deny that;
but the boy who should squander your
| fifty sinoleons
| Is Messitt your backstop, the lad
who can bat"
