First Eastern Virginia intercollegiate Baseball Game viii
BE Staged This Afternoon at o Clock in Broad,
Street Park-Expect Hard Struggle

Broad Street Park will this after
noon he the scene of the first cham
piorship baseball game OF the East
err Virginia intercollegiate League.
At p. M the Spiders and Williams
burgers viii start battle royal to
capture the initial contest of the
championship race in order to get the
jump on their other opponents.
William and Mary Is reported to
have seven or eight OF their old men
back again this year. and In their
recent contests have been putting up
an excellent game. For this reason
it is thought that the Loonies have
an advantage over the local collegians
and sor)e predict a victory for them.
However, the Spiders still have that
old lighting spirit which has won
them many a contest in spite of odds.
and they are prepared to fight until
the last out is made If necessary to
win.
VIII See Good Cane.
The baseball lovers of the city will
have the opportunity this evening of
witnessing the first collegiate game
TO be played at Broad-street Park

fans to see what good exhibition
college teams can put up.
The Richmond College nine return
ed home yesterday from their week $
trip through North and South Caro-
lima. with the stigma of having lost
every game they played However.
we must take into consideration the
fact that all Of the teams they met
rank above the Spiders in the base
ball world. Although the locals lost
in victories, they gained in expert
ence. and this experience is expected
to aid them In their strategy today.
One or two or the Spiders suffered
slight injuries while in the South, but
they have now recovered sufficiently
to be seen at their old positions again
this afternoon.
As is the custom at all sporting
contests, the student body of the col
lege will be on hand 10 cheer the
Spiders on 20 victory
