The funeral procession starte

The funeral procession started
promptly at half-past O'Clock with
the mourners weeping salty, lugubri.
Gus tears all over grandstand and
bleachers. Even the clouds, that have
been especially reserved for Virginia
League games, forbore to fall and only
added to the solemnity OF the occa-
sion Not a ribald jest, not sound OF
mirth-save the hoarse yapping of an
uncouth individual named Chandler,
who infested first base and the bat
ter's box-was heard to crack the
gloom. And true to the course map
ped out early in the season, Richmond

Nothing in the world except the pro-
tecting hand OF Providence kept the
score down to the mark that shone
like lighthouse at the close OF the
game. The great god Bohop was sit

way he made Norfolk neglect oppor-
tunities to make It a slaughter was
most commendable. But he couldn't
make the Colts exude a noise like a
batting rally, and that was, In this
particular instance, the only cure
known to man.
