tiers for Richmond Game.
The Chicago Federal league team, |
which at present seems in fair way
to win the pennant in the third major
league, will cross bats with the Rich
nond baseball club Sunday. August 8,
and for the first time this season
friends of Charles Weeghman, the own
or, who was born in Richmond, will
have a chance to see the fast-traveling !
team that is piloted by Joe Tinker, for
mer star of the National league.
The Chicago Federals, who are nick
named the Tots, the Buns and the
Chffeds, have on their roster of play
ers some of the fastest men in the
country. The outfield in particular is
made up of men who have earned repu- /
tations both at the bat and in the field.
The outfield also has the record of
being the only left-handed outfield in
the Federal league, and is composed
of Flack, Zwilling and Wickland, all
dangerous men at bat and on the
bases.
Art Wilson, who for years was with

bulk of the receiving, and has shown
up the opposing teams when they have
tried to steal bases on him. In addi-
ton he has earned the title of fence
buster, and it was due to his habit Of
getting home-runs over the left field
fence that Weeghman found it neces-
sary to move the fence several yards
further back at his Chicago park. The
distance was too easy for Art. But
since the fence has been moved back
he has merely heightened out his
drives a trifle and continues to lace
them over the fence.
Get Timely Swats.
Zwilling ard Wickland also come in
for considerable credit as home-run
swatters, and Beck, who occupies first
base, has habit of sending them over
the fence when men are on bases. His
ticks are usually very disconcerting to
the opposition.
Beck, who has shown probably the
most marked improvement this year
of any member of the team, unlike
many hard hitter, does not seem to
worry when he comes to bat when
runs are needed to pull a game out of
the fire. A good many hard hitters
seem to lose their nerve when runs
have to be got, but it is not that way
with Beck, and many an opposing
pitcher has found to his sorrow that
1t would have been a good thing to
have passed Beck when he sees the
ball sailing over the fence, and real
ICES that game that he had cOnsid-
cred as sewed up has been lost
through the mighty drive of the first
baseman.
Joe Tinker, the manager, who is
known the length and breadth of the
country as one of the foremost short
stops, occupies that position, and from
the infield directs the defense of the
team. Joe is lightning fast in his
fielding, and though not one of the
leading hitters. of the team is one
Of the most dangerous. as he, like
Beck, has a habit of getting hit when
the hit is the most Is,eded.

il another member of the team who is
starring. He is a great favorite with
the fans, who take great delight in
roasting him about his large nose.
Farrell Fast One.
Farrell. the youthful second baseman

his right to major league company
both on the bases and in the field. He
can make stop and snap throw to

any man in major league baseball. Be.

playing next to Tinker, is in a posi-
ton to profit by the coaching of a
veteran of the game.
The pitching staff of the Weeghman
team is exceptionally strong. being led

shown by the remarkably large attend

the throngs favoring the youngest
league in preference to the two other
major leagues that are fighting for
