STEALS HOME.
BY G. M. MONTGOMERY.
The rejuvenation of the Colts was
delayed until the seventh inning OF
yesterdays game. Up to that time
the ambitious Pirates seemed to have
4 strangle hold on the big end of the
score, and were romptng over green
with all the freshness and s%prightli-
ness which should have been the
Colts. But in the above mentioned
frame Hurler Weidell. who, during
the early innings, had proved some
thing Of a puzzle, lost some OF his
cunning or his ability to deceive and
fell a victim to several vicious kicks
from the Colts bats. In the slang of
the game the seventh was h

Richmondward, for a series of bin
giles with a doublet thrown in sentla

tally, which the Pirates had been able
to get over. :
But for the fact that the doctors

piifer third and home in the second
inning, Ayres was in the best OF
shape, and twirIed a game of which
he should feel proud. He kept the
ffye hits which he allowed scattered
through the game, passed but n

OF steam and his curves broke SO tan

locate nothing but ozone during three
attempts.
weidsll also was working in good
form, and for a time It seemed that
he would shutout the local aggrega-
ton. However. the clouts which the
Colts punched in the seventh were
sufficient to- spell defeat In capitals
for him. The support which his
nelders gave him was superb n IN
many cases sensational.
As a whole the work OF the Colts
Yesterday was q great Improvement
over that Of the day before. There
was something resembling ginger

several times, and the MEN responded

either way with little kick coming to
either team.
Howedcll the Star.
Howedell was the star performer

initial tally.
For "A great while 1t looked as
though this feat was to decide the
game. Weldeli was going in the best
OF form and his fefders were taking
care OF everything which he allowed
TO get away from him. But in the
seventh he weakened and the Steve
Griffin aggregation banged his bend

Plez was the first up in this frame
and was safe on Howedells bad
throw, which Mundy dropped. He
was thrown out on n felder's choice
a minute later, though. and did not
