IS A BENEFIT GAME

AS a sort of testimonial to the
famiH of the hereavea a game Of
baseball will be played in Broad Street
Park this afternoon between the Rich
mond orphans OF the late United
States lea que and the Richmond Col
iegians. br.-B Hgby-s entry for the
amateur championship in the Capital
City league.
The chief mourners will be the loyal
fans and public-spirited citizens who
went into their pockets to keep the
United States league alive, and who
now have turned their attention to
the welfare of the orphans.
1t is stated on the authority Of a
no less person than royal rooter John
NJ. Dunn that the Collegians were
chosen 10 meet the late leaguers at
the special request Of Manager Al
Newman. Manager Newman thinks
the Collegians a crack team, worthy
foemen. In Pitcher Dunn. he asserts.
they have one of the most promising
big league hurlers he has ever look ed
III on.
Good Reason For Opinion.
Manager Newnhsm mas good reason
for his opinion. The Rebels as II e
fans delighted to call the late leaguers
when they were defeating the best
teams in the United states league cir
cuir have met the Collegfdns before
and the amateurs gave them couple
Of great battles. Young Dunn dis
played fine form. He held such eele-
orated sluggers as Sox Seybold.

the less famous batsmen In the anna

but Blue has done that when facing
Deacon Philippe, ....-.-..-
Pitcher Dunn. according to Nam
aeer NEWMAN. is about ripe for pro-
fassional baseball and should make
good with the proper kind of coach
ing. He intended taking Dunn OIL the
Western trip of tha Rebels, but al IN

Pitcher Dunn Made Good.
Manager Newman has given Dunn
a trying-out. and the Richmond
youngster made good. He probably
would be wearing a Richmond United
States league uniform now IL the
league had not gone under. Dunn
will do his best against his near
comrades. and with the Coliegians
going al their top stride the late

Dunn has great battery partner
in Billy Stout. crab and a grea
general. Stout is hard hitter, and
his throwing arm is TO be dreaded

In the matter of infield talent the
