STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

With $500 loyal fans Drawing
the cold and rain and the teams
shivering and soaked and feeling a
heap more like football than baseball,
the Colts yesterday cleaned up Dan
Willie in the first game of the season
by the score OF to 0. The game was
fast in spite of the weather. and hard
ly fan left-and the cold and wet
made good reason to do so--until the
end of the eighth inning, when Dan
yille's prospects looked so gloomy that
the tender hearted wouldn't stay to
see the final slaughter.
Revelle promised Monday that he
would be in form for the first game
of the season, and he kept his word to
way the Danville sluggers Went down
before his benders made the east
hleachers howl with JOY. Nine husky
clouters waved at his hard ones, and
in one inning only did he fail to get
the strikeout.
Bucks Grand Opening.
Buck Hooper startled the inhabi-
tants at the first flutter, when he land
ed on tho first ball pitched in the sea-
son of 1910 for drive that snuggled
deep into the west bleachers before it
power more the bali would have gone
over the fence, but the home run was
saved by the ground rules, and Buck
was forced TO be content with two
bags
After that ciout Revelle screwed
down the lid and except for one dou-
bic Dagger by Vinson and safeties by
CASTOR and LarkIns there was abso-
lutely nothing doing When the two
safeties came about things looked more
than dubious for Richmond, but Re-
velle closed down, and the rest of the
team paid strict attention TO the game,
so that the inning closed without Sc
rious injury
on the Richmond side of the score
board things We're different. Land
graf, as is his wont when in form,
smashed out a beauty the first time
up, and Baker sacrificed him to second.
Wallace's hit did the rest, and n large
run doomed on the horizon. Two flies
prevented further scoring
lovely chance 10 score again
was missed by the Colts in the third
inning, when Wallace and Titman both
lifted safe ones beyond the diamond. |
The Bugs We're more than on the Job, !
however, and when the manager grace
fully struck out the inning closed.
Second Run i'll Second.
The second run came in the second
inning, when not a hit was made.
Bigbie drew a base on balls, and went :
to third on Browns scratch to first {
base. Messitr hammered at hard y
strike, and manager 10 bunt the ball Il
about four feet from the catcher. That
individual drove ii down to first base.
and before it could BIZ retuyyed Bigbie
come home in cioutf of mud. Re- II
velle flew out. G
For the remainder of the game 1t V
was fight between Loos and Revene. I
and Revelle came out of the large end q
milling as usual. Danville couldn't I,
ouch him, and the Colts could tap L
Up Loos rather freely, but without L
cal result.
Only one error was made during the
Thole game. and that resulted from r
'rown's going after the almost i'm !,
ossible. Yinson was at the bat. and
e sent n high foul back S
f Brown. The third baseman made
great stab at the ball, but could !
MS manage to get one hand on it as
e ran toward it. A couple OF seconds
alter Vinson slammed the ball into
eep right field, where Titman came
within gn ace of making q grand {
tand catch. The ball beat him to the J
ence. however. and Vinson went for {
wo bags. Titman made mans size !
brow back 70 the diamond and I'M
oubtedly saved n three Dagger.
During the first four innings rain
