So far this season the virsinians

four times. The Bisons opened the
International League season In Rich

gathering In three Of the four con-
tests with the Herd. Although the
Virginians were scheduled to play the
Buffalo club three times on the road,
rain prevented all but one contest
which Richmond won handily.
In view OF these defeats, Patsie and
his bunch are out for revenge and they
come to Richmond with blood in their
eyes. During the past few weeks the
