RICHMOND. Va, March 2s.-Bob In
glaub is the latest addition to the injured
list, and the clever boy came within an
ace of hurting himself seriously. Satur-
day evening he turned 10 run up the
marble steps to the second floor OF the
Monticello and fell, his left knee striking
on the sharp edge of the second step.
Roh cut his knee and twisted his foot
in irving to save himself. Trainer Quirk
worked over him at once and all day
Yesterday he walked around with cane.
Last night Quirk again took him in hand
and as a result Bob came down stairs
this mornig without cane walked with
| only a slight limp and said he would be
| able to go into todays game. If Tn
glaub isn't just right Jack Hardy will
play first. Hardy was kidding Bob this
! morning saying. "Old boy, If they let
me play that bag you will lose your JOB"
| Manager McAleer has had a slight at
| tack of rheumatism in his right shoulder
| for the past three days. and it was so bad
this morning that it kept him in bed until
late. The old boy is game and hates to
give up. but there is no denying the fact
that little rest would do him lots OF
good, as he has been going at top speed
ever since the Nationals reached Nor
| folk.
Weather 70 Cool.
The weather is clear and cool, but
warming up every minute, and should
be pleasant by the time the game starts
at. 4 o'clock. McAleer will probably put
the same lineup on the field that faced
| Norfolk Saturday. with the excep-
! ton that he may give Joe How
Xix three-inning workout against

Better after his trail Saturday. Street
and Rapp will do the catching. although
"Gabby' complained of a slightly sore
arm after the Norfolk game.
Every member of the team accompa-
MED Elberfeld to the police court this,
morning and was introduced to Judge
Crutchfield. The judge and court have
national reputation, and the way he
des.h ou. justice to the colored law
breakers was unusually interesting and
anusinE. The kid has known the
Judge who is a great base ball fan. ever
since he played in the Virginia League.
and when he comes to Richmond he has
always been a regular guest at the court.
Players in Harmony.
Six of the players crowded into the
