There is some little wonder in the
mind of the writer as to whether the

have Umpire Davis in the role of
robber even when Richmond wins.
Did the Colts win in spite of Davis,
or was he fair, or did he switch his
tactics and throw the game TO Rich
mond just as he threw 1t to Roanoke
on Monday? Echo please answer
!, promptly.
Allowing the Highlanders to get
only three hits and having his team
mates support him with six safe ones
yesterday. Revelle fattened out his
percentage again. The game was JUST
long enough to be game. OF course.

Nothing else could be expected. 1t is
an easy shot that even ii the sky was
clear and the weather man had re-
ported Clear and Warmer" the wise
fans would have taken out rain-coats
and umbrellas, because Flag Raising
Day is just like the Thrtieth of May.
and the Glorious Fourth.
Pitcher Edmonston, who sojourned
for a short season with the Colts,
seems to be right much in demand at
the present moment. Somehow the
rumor got afloat that he was coming
to Richmond. and it may be that he
is, but it is not definitely settled just
yet. Owner Bradley will probably take
action to-day in the matter. Then A.
W. Malone, OF Greensboro. wires TO
know where he is and what is thought
of him.
Edmonston has. according to sport
ing papers. pitched two games for
Trenton this season. losing both
of them in rather bad form, Trenton
is almost ready to let him go 1t is
true that the Tri-State League is a
/ class higher than the Virginia. but
the salary limit in that league is only
s25 a month higher than in this league.
and If Edmonston made a rank show

Bigbie go to second base and let Cow
an play first? Cowan would have
been more ut ease at first than he
would have been at second. and Big
bic would have been able to handle
the grounders.
The rumor that Portsmouth is about
to give its last gasp is gaining head
way, and the fans are looking for
| something to drop almost any day.
| The stockholders in the club who live

! live in Richmond. are unwilling to put
any more money into the club unless
| money is forthcoming--What?
If Portsmouth should cease to pay
salaries. would the league step in and
help? 1t would be rather clumsy to
play out a six-team schedule with only
five teams operating. And yet, other
teams in the league. Roanoke, Dan.
vile and Lynchburg, are not over
burdened With coin. Danvilre had to
call on the Chamber of Commerce, and
the chamber came across right man

have seen times when the pay envel-
opes looked as big as all outdoors.

contributor, and Richmond alone of all
that crew is left to tell the tale. AS
the matter now stands, Richmond Ia
the only club with money to spare.
If those notebooks of Petersburg
could get hold of the Portsmouth fran
chise they would whoop things up.
Petersburg would support the club to
a fare-ye-well. and the way the Pc
tersburg crowds would invade Rich

be glorious. The Petersburgers are al

TEARING DOWN WALLS
OF BURNED STORE
Workmen Pulling Down the
Buckler Structure on
COlIncil'S Order

Hawkins Bros, agents for Mrs. c. ".
Buckler, owner OF the burned Buckler
building, set men to work Monday aft
ernoon pulling down the walls Of the
structure, in accordance with orders
from the city council.
1t was believed at first that if the
walls were torn down to the second
floor level, it would be sufficient, but
Tuesday It was found that it would be
necessary to tear the walls almost com
pletely to the basement level, especially
on the north side. This is being done.
We saved all of our office furniture
and fixtures together with our valuable
papers and fire insurance registers"
said W. H. Hawkins, of Hawkins Bros
Outside of little damage from wa
ter and the Inconvenience of hunting
new location we are not much hurt
We are the only firm in the entire
wreck that saved everything we had.
Several persons on the third floo:
had some insurance but few of them
were fully covered.
I'VE have no idea how the fire start
ed. but we are certain that it did not
start from the boiler room which has
been the cause of fire alarm or two
heretofore because of a smoky fur
mace.
We have not heard from Mrs. Buck
Ter, owner of the property, in regard to
her future plans. but she will be here
today"

COTTON
New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 15.-Cotton opened
quiet and lower this morning and the
tendency is downward. Good showers
over parts of Texas and Oklahoma and
prospects good for more provided the
main reason for the bearish sentiment
displayed in early operations.
The talent was considerably mixed
Jn the immediate outlook, although
conditions are interpreted as yet under
bull control. This Is conceded in view
of the fact that most of the conserv-
ative people in the trade and reliable
etatistieans predict that the crop can
not go above 12.500,000 bales this sea
son with favorable conditions, and the
consumptive demand is placed from one
to two million bales above the pros
pective production.
