The roseate hopes Of unnumpe,es

4 fans who went out TO the Broad Street
Park yesterday to ses Richmond break
the tic with two straight wins. were
dashed to the ground. dissolved and
sdissipated, when. with the cruelty Of
3 Russian knout-mastcrs. the Hill CHM
: BETS jumped on Yerbout and ReveIle
and batted them 80 far to the bad
i that there was no such thought as re-
Cooperation AT least. they didn't slam
tVerbout so hard. hut what they did to
the $4,000 big Lacquer was enough to
melt the heart OF craven image. and
make a Borgia smile. The scores
were: Richmond. 90: Lynchburg, LIS.
Revelle always allows ten hits 10
4 Lynchburg. and yesterday there was
no thought OF 5stinginess IN his make
up. He went one better and delivered
i the goods that brought forth eleven
t swats. which locked the smoke house
I door. so that Richmond could not even
4 get a smell OF the middling.
In the meantime, the boys who wear
4 the clean white suits when playing in
the Broad Street Park managed to get
four hits In both games, and ono Of
those was little lucky. In the first
game Lloyd did not let them have lut
one. and Griffin in the second gave
them the privilege OF first on a hit
ball three times.
Muddy Diamond.
The diamond was muddy from home
plate to the outer edge, and the sand
and sawdust, or whatever 1t was.
didn't help matters at all. There was
q whole heap OF sliding. and the balls
came at all angles The diamond was
wet. and the clouds hung so low that
II looked as II the gods would weep
over what was being done to the
Colts. But they didn't. They let the
show go the whole blooming length.
and if there was any medicine left
that Richmond did not take, 1t was not
In the bottle. sasi
Iyerbout got bad start In the first
three Innings of the rflst game. ana
before he could get over that the run
had slipped In. Then he closed down
like swapping turtle before It thun-
d ders, and the Lynchburgers were at a
& loss to lind where he was. or what he
was going to sdo.g
The Fatal Third. Ss il,
It was In the third inning that the
weeping began that sounded like the

scratch to Baker, Howdell smashed
out double Dagger, and the sorrow
