by 4. ID. Bonneville.

Manager Lawlor returned Thurs
day morning with his victorious Colts
after scoring two shut-outs against
the Danville Bugs who looked so in
vincible In their recent series. They
looked exactly as we did in their
games here" said Lawlor, we com
Eletediy outplayed them in every de-
parfment and both games were clean
nhGt-outs.
II Is said that the Danville fans did
not have much to say about the first
game, evidently thinking that II was
an accident, but when the Colts
srored another shut out they began
to yell murder and prove themselves
poor losers.
The Colts declare that they had
things handed to them pretty badly
while Ia Danville and IL is limited
pretty strongly that Umpire Wester-
welt proved himself a rank homer"
Saive was put out of the game be-
cause he threw his glove on the
ground following a rank decision by
Umpire Wesrereelt on a strike. and
he was promptly benched. At the
same time IL is said that the Danyille
players were swearing and using
abussiye language throughout tne
game and that the umpire did not
venture to bench one OF them.
In Wednesdays game both of the
AQttN palGUSIE tNnlSu ia liIiG IoIin
and kept the Bugs guessing. Salve
twirled Ave innings and held them to
two hits and Morrissey worked foui
and held them for the same number
The Colts claim that Callahan was
allowed three bases on drive that
went foul by ten feet. Umpire Wester-
4 Welt was standing behind the pitcher
and was not in line TO Judge the drive
y properly. This was one of the hns
registered against Saive,
II 10 said that the Bugs continued
TO wrangie continually. and did all
!, they could to make 1t hard for the
visitors. They couldn't hit the Colts
pitcher, however, and the fans could
not get over 1t. In the words of one
Of the Colts. the Danvifle fans are
walking up and down one street hol
luring murder
Wallace was out Wednesday for
the first time. but it is not at all
certain that he will be In the game
j before Monday. He stated Wednes-
day evening that he was feeling bet
4 ter, but very sore.
Cowan will be held for several days
even after Wallace gets back in the
game. The team will be nearly com
plete then, and Lawior wishes to see
them in action In several games be-
s fore he lets the utility catcher so,

Salve did so well against Danville
Wednesday that Lawlor viii probably
II not consider releasing him, and the
N other three twirlers on the staff are
permanent fixtures. Dimpie Will have
4 10 be something extra In the way of
twirier to get q position with the,
locals now.
II Is said that Bigbie played in
great form on first base during the
series In Danville. His batting slump
continues. however, and the strings
9re sttil out for another man. Law
1or has two men in view, and one Of
them may come here at any day.
II Is the desire OF all Richmond
Il fans that Bigbie pick up in his bat
ting. and remain with the club. He
Ii a general favorite and his release
would cause much regret here.
Lawior speaks highly of Burke.
the new fielder. The new man played
star game in Danville. and seems
/ 70 be improving rapidly, though he
Il started out strong even In his first
game here.
Wallace stated Wednesday that he
u willing to play either center or left
Aeld. and that he will give the CEN
ter fieId position to Burke II heywants
ii and Manager Lawlor is willing.
Lawior says that all the men hit
the bail better In DanviIie. and that
4 the heavy Danville hitters who look
"a 20 strong here made a pitiful
n showing. All of the men, with one
Or two exceptions, have picked up on
their batting. and with the return of
a Wallace to the game the Colts viii!
have run getting aggregation and
II pifching STAFF that win make u com
