i great surprise. SINCE the team In In
n badly crippled condition, being
minus manager and two regular play
eys. The excellent work OF the twirl-
ers In directly responsible for the re-
suits. All three OF those who work
ed showed excellent form, and they
are deserving OF great credit for their
performances.
Ii now remains for the locals to
defeat Portsmouth and take the lead
In the race. The Truckers have not
been going well of late and their
series of defeats has brought them
down close to the other teams In the
column. Only eight points separate
Richmond and Portsmouth now, and
by taking two games of the present
series the locals will be In first place
with good lead.
The Truckers seem 20 be having
their expected slump. and IL the
Richmond twiriers continue To so as
they have been going for the past
week 1t In likely that the stump will
continue.
Roanoke is pushing close for sec

will witness big change In the
standiug of the first three clubs. Tn
lees Portsmouth can capture two Of
the games here. they may probably
md themselves in third place on Sat

A TRIBUTE TO WOMAN.
Robert G.. IngersoU.


It takes hundred meM Co woke
an encampment, but one woman can
make home. I not only admire
woman as the most beautiful creature
that was ever created, but I rever-
ence her as the redeeming glory of
humanity, the sanctuary of all the
virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head. It is
not just nor right to lay the sins of
men at the feet of women. It is be-
cause women are so much better
than men that their faults are con-
considered greater. A mans desire
is the foundation of his love. but a
woman's desire is born of her love.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
which the light forever burns, the
one star that darkness cannot quench,
is woman's love. It rises to the
greatest height, it sinks to the low
est depths, it forgives the m t
injuries. 1t is perennial of life and
grows in every climate. Neither
GOODNESS nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty, can extinguish it. A won
ans love is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues
the earth; the love that has wrought
all miracles Of art; that gives us mu-
sic all the way from the cradle song
to the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on the wings of
fire. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than life and strong
er than death.
