1t is fortunate for the Colts that
just as they are getting in fighting
trim Manager Lawl0r is also begin
ming to find himself in such condi-
tion that he can be of more assist
aflee In material way.
1t has been no small handicap to
the locals that Lawior was not able
TO be In the coaching box at third
base while his team is at bat 1t is
In this position that all managers be-.
long 10 direct the play and aid in
getting runs Ii will be noticed that
Steve Griffin. manager of the Dam
vile Bugs. always occupies the posi-
ton IN the coaching box when he is
not on base or at the bat.
Lawiors ankle is now much inn
proved, and in a few days more he
viii don a uniform and take up active
work of directing the play of the
Colts
The locals are shy several uniforms,
but Owner Bradley is making an eff
fort to purchase several, ana when
wear. Pitcher Frank Hale carried off
one of the uniforms, and the others
are all in use.
Irvine. although still the property
of the Richmond Club. has perform
ed IN a most peculiar manner. and has
the local management guessing. He
was sent to Wilmington. n. c., on
a trade. but il is believed that he
has never reported there, and so far
as Is known here he is at his home
at Altoona, Pa
When Irvine was sent away the To-
cal fans raised howl. and even the
papers did not understand why it was
p ~
held Manager L.awIor has now ex-
planned this in way that puts it in
another light. With the advent of
Burke Irvine WAS no longer needed
in the field. He was not well suited
as a catcher here, for the reason that
he could not catch Reyelfe, 1t is
said that he was afraid of the de-
livery Of the Colts star twirler.
l-awlnr also says that Irvine asked
to be allowed 70 go to Wilmington.
He came to the manager and said
that as someone had to go down there
he would like for 1t to he him, since
it was seaport town and he would
rather live there.
His request was granted, and he
shipped his trunk and purchased his
ticket. He sent his wife home TO AL
toona, and then suddenly sold the
ticket he had bought for Wilmington
and followed his wife to Pennsylvania
1t is believed that he has not vet
reported to the WILMINGTON club. and
nothing has been heard from hin,
at this end. His Intentions are UNI
known, but he IL still the property
OF the Richmond club.
Dutch Revelie has not seemed

In that game. however, he showed
that he had come back To his old
form. In that game the Tars scored
one run, but they should never have
gotten 1t. Revelle has twfrled Ave
or six games against the Crew this
year. and that was the first run they

have scored on him. He has hlanked
them every other time that he has
worked against them.
In that game they had failed to
score, and there were two men out in
the inning. A fly was sent to Wall
lace and he misjudged il. letting a
runner go from second 10 third.
Landgraff was standing on second and
Wallace threw the ball to him. the
runner kept on home from third and
Landgraff stood on the bag with his
head down playing with the ball.
When he looked up the runner had
scored. Isamlor told Isandgraff after
the game that II that run had eff
fcctad the game. his net or going TO
sleep would have cost him $25.
r The cause Of Hevelle's slight slump
was that he caught cold IN his arm
during the last series ia Danville, and
