With the unholy glare OF an invisi-
BILE comet shining over the diamond,
and a bunch OF spectators under the
doubt as to whether it would be the
last game Of ball that this right little,
light little world would ever see. the
Colts allegorically, theoretically and
practically rubbed the Danville noses
in the dirt yesterday afternoon to the
score 2 to 0. Not hat the Bugs were
not working every wing and antennae
to put the right individuals across the
plate. for they were. but the Colts
were working insight and dutsight, and
there was nothing doing.
Revelle on form would have made a
Partisan cloak establishment offer
salary. There was really nothing to
1t hut class. or curse, Rickert did
clout a cruel two-bagger n create a
suuall for a short season, but the boy
with the smile was on the job. and
the hits that came belonged to the
bachelor club. No two came together,
and none was far enough to make tho
call boy trot to the score board with
a tally for Danville.
Had a Sinking Sensation.
Mayberry experienced a sinking sem
satton from the first go, and hung on
n dead level all the way through. He
was batted t%olerably hard, but manag-
ed to tighten up In most Of the bad
places. Two instances were his un-
doing. Once there was an opportunity
for the Colts to start a landslide, u
It didn't m~aterialize. He did strike
out three men and gave no bags on
balls, but the men behind him saved
his oats a dozen times.
The fine sarcasm Of that boy Grimm
as the game started was hung out
like a planked shad and should nave
made a killing If Buck Hooker had
not spoiled things. Griffin loves Bob
Pender so dearly that he can't meet
him face to face without tears, and
so when the time came to give IN ms
batting order he wrote 1t In a clerkly
hand Ind laid it carefully on the nome
plate. Thon Ponder came n called
for 1t. Griffin, on the first base coach-
ing line, was looking for the comet.
and couldn't hear the call. Then, Just
as things were becoming interesting
Hooker came along n handed rem
der the paper. A slight exchange Of
compliments resulted and the game
began.
In the Fourth.
Nothing really happened untll tne
fourth inning, when Rlgbie opened me
ball with a nice little drive through
pitcher and a couple OF oaselneH,

Some BlB Talk:
By HALF NELSON.

"A calm and impartial look over the
the locker that the Richmond team
is long on Individual work, but shy
on inside baseball. 1t seems that each
man is doing the best he can to make
his position go as strong as possible
without working with the other man to
get results. And incidentally team work
is what brings the pennant home.
AS an instance. yesterday afternoon
with bases full and Tom Messitt on
third-and every fan in Richmond
knows that while Messitt is strong
at the bat and behind the same, he
cannot run-Baker undertook a squeeze
play and hunted. OF course. Mayberry
got the ball INC caught Messitt out
at home by a mile. 1t was not expect
ed that Messitt would ever be able to
come in on that bunt, and 1t should
not have been made A fly to any
garden would nave gotten Messitt
home, no matter whether it was caught
or not. AT any rate 1t would have
given him a far better chance to get
home than a bunt would have.
------
On one occasion, although it really
didn't make any difference, Wallace
made Messitt waste two strikes while
he was contemplating n steal. Mes
slit later was hit with a pitched ball
and forced Wallace, VT. but ii he had
not been hit, the strikes would have
been wasted Just the same,
The instances cited show the lack OF
getting together and going after the
results as teams should. a. three
Dagger With nobody to take advantage
of 1T counts no more In the race for
the pennant than a strike-out, and the
team that is worked like a machine
and goes after everything In sight Is
tho team that is mighty near the top
when tho end ONE
Incidentally, Baker and Landgratf put
up some of the fastest fielding that has
been seen In Richmond for some time
yesterday afternoon. Baker made a
Wonderful catch OF what looked like a
safe hit, and was properly rewarded
with the glad hand. Landgrafe picked
up three or four chances with such
speed that there was no hope for tho
runner. If the stocky second baseman
would only use his head In the pinchea
he would increase his value at least
lao per nentum and be one OF the
strong men In the league,

Declares Its Books In Roman Shop
Windows Are Slandcrs Against
The Catholic Faith.

Chicago, Feb. S.-A statement was
given TO the Associated Press by Arch
bishop ireland today in which the
archbishop says:
People In America may easily mis-
appreheud tho circumstances in Rome
which led the vatican TO refuse an au-
dience with the holy father to Mr.
Charles w. Fairbanks after he. for
mer vice president of the United
States. would have made public ad-
dress before the Methodist association
Of that city Most likely, Mr.. Fair
banks, himself, did not fully realize
the meaning which Romans would
attribute to his address.
1T was not a question OF Mr. Fair
banks being a Methodist or going to
a Methodist church in Rome for Sun
day devotions. 1t was a question OF
appearing to give the fullest approv-
al to the work of the Methodist asso-
citation in Rome.
''I was in Rome last winter and I
made very particular study of this
Methodist propaganda 1t has gone
so far that Catholics have organized
tho society for the preservation of the
faith to fight against it.
The purpose OF the work of the
Methodist association In Rome is con-
fessed openly. The means employed
are by no means honorable They take
every advantage of the poverty of the
poor of Romo. The books circulated
and displayed in tho windows of their
book stores are ISLANDERS against the
Catholic faith. the holy ponun at
Rome and misrepresentation oe the
Whole Catholic system.
NOW. public address by a former
OF the United States be-
fore the Methodist association can
nave no other meaning in the eyes of
the Roman public than an approval OF
the methods of the Methodist associa-
ton. Had the holy father, guardian of
the spiritual interests of the Catholic
church of the world, smilmgly well
coined Mr.. Fairbanks TO an audience
on the following day, IN what other
position would he appear to be than
giving his approval To the propaganda
Of the Methodist association before
which the address had been givene
1T was simply impossible for the
holy father. in his official position
as sovereign pontift of the Catholic
to do aught else than to say
politely to Mr.. Fairbanks:
Il cannot receive you and accord
you the honors due you In all other
as an American and as
