RICHMOND COLTS WILL
WIN LEAGUE REMNANT
Ernbued With Confidence Supper Given by Club Officials
on Roof Garden---Eats, Oratory and
Jokes Pass Away Evening

New determination was instnled
into the members Of the Richmond
ball club last night. and new spirit
was given to all the players by the
heart to heart talk OF players, man
ayers and club officials around a table
on the Richmond roof garden.
The players were told that they
have a .eam capable of winning the
pennant, that man for man they are
the equals If not the euperiors. of
the league leaders, that they have the
best manager in the league. that the
club officials would he thoroughly sat
isfied with their work so long as they
fought for every inch of ground, and
that in spite of a few knockers. who
knock because they have the good of
the team at heart. the people OF Rich
mond are back of them and plugging
for them.
The players knew all this, but re-
Gently they seem to have been almost
overcome with doubts and 1t was TO
shoe away these doubts and restore
confidence that the meeting was held
around the table of cheer last night.
The object of the meeting was at
tanned. The men almost perceptibly
shed their feelings of depression, and
as time wore on the hook OF the self
confident man came into the eyes of
them all. They left determined to
win the pennant and sure Of their
ability to do so.
The Talking Begins.
Members Of the team and OF the
Norfolk team. club officials, umpires
and newspaper men were present at
the gathering. and after a light lunch
had been disposed Of. President Nc
Adams made a short talk, in which
he told the players that the club of
ficials and the people of Richmond
are back OF them. That they should
not pay too much attention to knock
ing from the grandstand and that
they should remember that fans did
knock when they did not care about
the players was his advice to them,
following with a few words Of encour-
agement.
Manager Griffin, Secretary Bradley,
Trainer Dobson, John Raley. Harry

the Times Dispatch, and Zach Wood

fin. I'VE need nothing but one pitcher,
We can win the pennant with the
team we have. If the team will but
believe it. The breaks have been all
against us recently. but we have a
right to hope for little luck for our
selves now and with II and the team
we now have we can win the pennant.
We have. lost little of our fighting
spirit To get that back is all we
need"
A Polite Assemblage.
Others expressed the same or sim
liar sentiments and after the oratory,
the company began to tell and listen
to jokes, more or less humorous. Gus
Malbert told a few. at which every
body laughed heartily. 1t was one OF
the most polite companies ever as
semhled. This was proven again when
Zach Woodall told one which he said
was a true story that actually hap
pened" Tom McAdams also told one,
So did the others. a few of which did
not have to be labeled.
Anyway. good or poor. the jokes
brought the laughs from the polite as
sembly and everyone enjoyed him
self
The spread" was enjoyed: the talk
was encouraging; the jokes were
heard. and the players felt that their
efforts in the past have been appreci-
ated and that they really haven't such
rotten ball team after all.

sQUABBLE OVER
OFFICE OF MAYOR
Change May Vet be Made In the Re
suit Of the Election In Aamll-
ton Last Tuesday.

Some doubt has arisen as to the
validity of the counting OF some bal
lots in the election held In Hamilton
for mayor last Tuesday and 1t will
probably not be settled until the at
torney general gives his opinion.
Some OF the ballots were thrown
out because OF irregularities in voting
for commissioners chiefly and In some
cases the vote for mayor was throw,
out and In others 1t was carried In
the totals. II the method OF counting
was legal A. D. Barber was elected
mayor by two votes and II not e. w.
Hosford was elected by three votes.
The official result was tie and In
the drawing by lot Mr.. Barber was
declared mayor.
Mr.. Hosford has written the attor-
ney general Of Illinois in regard to
the counting of the ballots, refusing
to concede Mr. Barber legally chosen
and the decision O. the attorney gen.
eral will probably decide the matter.

mirable personal qualities.
General Dodge was long AN init
mate friend of the late Senator Will
liam B. Allison, and there is some
thing beautiful in the fidelity shown
by General Dodge to the memory Of
his friend. The Allison monument to
be erected at Des Moines is made pos
sible by the personal effort of Gener-
al Dodge.
| The name OF General Dodge has
reflected great credit on Iowa and
broadened it's reputation, and he is
spending his last years in his old
old home at Council Bluffs.
