Last night the Yankees arrived in
Richmond under the care OF Man

and went to Murphy's Hotel, Colonel
Murphy Is an old school chum of
Captain Houston.
In the party with the Yankees was
the entire first squad accompanied
by the principal scribes for the New

the team throughout the spring trav-
els.

the Yankees are ED. Curley, of the
New York American: Frank Van Ness,
of the Globe; w. McBeth. of the Sun /:
IL. Schumakes, OF the Mail. and l..

CHANGING over the list of players
with the Yankees, 1t would seem that
Manager Donovan has more chance
of winning the gonfalon this season
than Frank Chance did last season
with a club similar. except for few
changes.
Manager Dunn expects. however. to
have his charges in excellent form
and to put up good fight against
the New Workers. The Yankees have
only lost one game this season 80 far,
They played the Brooklyn Dodgers a
series of four games down South and
dropped the final fiesto.
The Yankees will line up as fol-
