-FOUR games. Jack Dunns men also
proved that they can connect with
men on bases and this ability counts
great deal and wins the games. In
fact had Il not been for Russelrs as

game to-day the Richmond aggrega-
ton would have got away with a COM

Jump 10 the front in the International
League. They were right up on the
heels of Providence. and the local fans
were quite confident that their team
would jump out in front. However.
Jack Dunn and his band of warriors
upset all the dope. They took the
opening game, but still the fans were
confident that tho Howleyites would
come back the following day. How
ever, Richmond not only took the game
on the following day. but also on
saturday, and it was only that one bad
inning OF Russelrs in to-day's game
that allowed the Montrcaiers to romp
of with the big end of the score.
The Richmond team left this even
ing for Buffalo, when they play off
four games with the Bsons. and If
they continue TO stage tho same class

they viii undoubtedly strengthen their
grasp on first place In the Interna-
