ling or Ayers in One.

Another one of those Richmond kind
OF excursions will leave Elba Station
this morning at 10 o'clock for Wash

sion being q trainful. There Will be
two games in the capital city to-day
between the Nationals and the Cleve-
land outfit. The first game will begin
at o'clock. and since the train arrives
In Washington at 1915 o'clock. there
will be ample time to get lunch and
journey leisurely to the ball yard.
Manager Clark Griffith. OF the Climb
ers, states positively that Walter John
son will pitch the first game. and that
either Doctor Ayers or Joe Boehling
Will pitch the second game. It's go
ing to be big day. regardless of what
happens. Since the series is one that
might be called crucial. the probability
is that Dixie Joe will furnish the sport
in the finale. Cleveland and Washing
ton are fighting for second place, and
Griffith is hardly likely to take chances
with a recruit when he has veterans
ready to step into the breach.
The train will leave Washington at
$3.50 o'clock, and will arrive in Rich
mond at 11:15.
