COLLEGE TEAM
WEAK IN FIELD

It may be anNii1 omen to win tho
FIRST gan1o OF season by a score OF
thirteen runs to nothing. and yet.
when the dozen was reached by Man
nger Lawlor's professionals at Broad
Street Park yesterday afternoon
against Richmond College, the Colts
did not stop pounding; and we're en-
deavoring vainly TO keep on going
around. when q surprising double
Underwood to Beverly--closed the
game as far as the leaguers were con-
scerned. The Spiders in the closing
half inning pushed Taylor as Tar as
second base, but three outs followed ir.
rapid fire ordor. and the 1880 fans
present went home satisfied

meet OF the season is not bad record
for any nine, and there Is nothing to

greatly In piling up the score against
them. and took away much OF the.

pearance OF the year In the four open

due the Spiders for their three hits.
he had perfect control. and was ap-
parentiy in the best shape.
Captain Jenkins TO Blame.
Hale succeeded the smiling Dutch
man In the fifth. and throughout the
rest OF the game he gave away no
passes. struck out three men, and al
lowed four singles. Captain jenkins
Is more to blame than any man on his
nine for the large score number OF
tallies, although his playing mate,
Underwood. fell asleep on the fob once
or twice. and Meredith. much oftener
than once. pulled off boneheadS plays
which. if duplicated VIII give some
other teams in the Eastern Collegiate
Division OF Virginia a good show OF
landing the spring baseball trophy.
Manager Lawlor was easily the
4 batting star OF the game. and the a eld-
ing honors were divided about
evenly between Landgraff and Baker.

such form that neither sandherr
nor Ison. OF last years Colts. were

Not Afraid to Bat.
Richmond College demonstrated
(. above cvcrythin else that her dia-
mond youngsters arc not afraid to
stand up to tho plate. and three OF the
four hits landed off Hale and Revelle
wore line drives, very similar to some
