as much danger as the score would in
dictate. There IA a goodly crowd on
hand TO witness the contest; in fact,
ii was the largest crowd of enthusiasts
who have greeted the Tigers since leav-
Ing Augusta. The weather yesterday
was not of the Tune variety, but it was
better than a major portion of the at
mosphere which has been handed out in
this sunny Southland lately.

in Good Shape.
RICHMOND. April 2.
BY JAMES, N. GOULD.

A Ii nature is smiling on the Tigers today and thu
~ players are in fine fettle for the second contest
n with the champion Richmond team this afternoon.
There is some class to the Virginia outfit. and they can
be depended upon to make the Tigers uncork everything
they have in the approved baseball line. Indications are
that there will be an unusually large crowd of Southern
Enthusiasts present at the matinee, because of the excel
lent showing made by their favorites yesterday. The peo-
pie of this historic city know the game of baseball and
ian tell a good player when they see one in action. Jake
Wells, former Newark catcher and now a leading Southern
theatrical inagnate, resides here, and it was in this town
that Jack Chesbro received his first real start In base
oall. This Virginia League has given to the baseball
world many bright diamond stars, among the most prom
tnent at the present time being Christy Mathewson. Rich
mond people are unanimous in saying that the Tigers are
a finished baSehan aggregation.a

Norman Anderson. the Danish cham

Anderson is about the speediest foreign

try, n Newark fans are pretty well
acuaqinted with his prowess. He win

of Kramer, who will occupy scratch in

One-MiIc Amateur Heats.
Manager Chapman announced this
morning that owing to the big entry for
the amateur races he will be obliged TO
run the five-mile open in trial heats Of
n mile each and then a final over the
five-mile distance. Fifteen added start
ers have been placed on the program
and the total is now seventy-f1ve, with
the chances of some extras.
Lawrence Touted Highly.
Much is expected from Percy Law
renee, the Pacific coast champion, and
he is looked upon as a probable winner
of at least one race. At any event, he
will be put. to a good test, and Eastern
fans will be able to get a line on him.
The National turner's will be out
strong, with eight entries and Magin,
Jokus, Peer and Neuschaffer, of that
organization are looked Upon to make
a good showing. These, with Walter
Schlee, Joe Passenger and Watson

will be the one-mile novice to introduce
