the game, according to advices from
their manager
This game Is expected to attract one
of the largest crowds to the local lot
which has ever witnessed baseball
game in Richmond. Although dem
mite arrangements have not been an.s
nounced as yet, it is not inlprobablef
that several of the railroads entering
Richmond will grant special rates hare
for the game. as 1t Is well known that
there are hundreds living within =
hundred miles of the city who would
journey here for the game.
Another game which is expected to
attract more than passing attention
during the training season, Is that with
the Jersey City team on April 3rd.
This outfit is always a strong one ana
being more nearly in the same class
as the Colts. will allow the fans an
opportunity of sizing up the local team.
1t is possible that the Jersey City
team may be granted an extra day at
the local park. but this has not been
definitely settled yet.
The Colts will break a prestige OF
former years this season when they
