TYLERS HOPE TO
WALLOP GRAYS
Game Saturday Between Rival
Amateur Teams Should Prove
Intensely Interesting.

Followers of amateur baseball will
be given rare specimen of the ma
tional game Saturday, when the Grays,
Richmonds amateur champions. and
Tylers, winners of the Old Dominion
rag. clash at Byrd Park. The game
Will begin at 1870 o'clock.
To say that the game is expected 10
he fast and spirited is putting it too
easy. as the followers of both teams
know what ability these rival teams
possess, and how we'll they handle
themselves on the field and at bat
The Grays were winners in the Cap
ital city League by n good margin,
and defeated the Washington cham
pions Labor Day in the first game OF
the intercity series. something never
achieved before, by Richmond repre-
sentativcS.
On the same day, Tylers defeated
kahns team which deserves much
credit for its battle as rival for the
Old Dominion championship.
Consequently. ms both of these teams
are rated as superiors in their respec-
tive leagues. the game should be to the
liking OF amateur followers.
The opposing slabmen will be Canepa
and French, while Dunn and Sander
son will probably be used in event
the strong arms" are batted.
Blount Will catch Canepa. while
Powell will backstop the old Dominion
tosscr.
The teams viii line up, Grays: Poh.
shortstop: Orebough. third base;
Blount, catcher; Saracino. centre field;
Nelson, second base; Dowden. right
field; Morgan. left hcld: Canepa,
pitcher. Tylers; Powell. catcher;
Heiker left field; Coulder. third base:
Gentry, first base: Moran. shortstop;
Cummings, right field; Oncsty. second
base: French. pitcher; Sanderson, cen
tire field.
y large crowd will be on hand, and.
while the Grays look on this game
only as 4 practice contest. Tylers have
great hopes of showing that they are
no weak foemen.

NO POST-SEASON
GAMES POSSIBLE

a move to bring about a series Of
games between the Raleigh team OF
the Carolina League. and the All Stars.
OF the Virginia League, Is doomed to
die a-borning. Since Tommy Stouch.
through his loss OF the Ashcville club
gave up the proposed inter State series
there have been several efforts made
to arrange substitute games.
DR.. w. r. Pressly, who was in Rich
mond last night on his way TO Roanoke
from Newport News, when advised of
the proposition to play Raleigh, said
that he thought the best thing to do
was to call off all post-season games
The Raleigh club disbands to-day, and
TO keep the men together until the
week OF the 18th would cost consider
able money.
Pressly is of the opinion that 1T
would be foolhardy proposition, be-
cause much of the interest would be
lost. The Raleigh team. while a good
team, is not oven the champion of the
class ID" organization 1t represents
and there is no reason to suppose that
the club could put up real battle
against an all-star Organization from
the Virginia circuit.
