FIRST WEEK PROVES
A DISASTROUS ONE;
PLAY TORONTO NEXT
First Part of Stay Away from Home Fought With Misfortune
and Defeats-Win Only Two Contests Drop Five and Tie
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Play the Toronto Maple Leaves
and Montreal Royals During This Week.

Richmond club will leave Buffalo and
cross over the border line into the
Dominion OF Canada, stopping first in
Toronto. The Virgintans will tackle
the Maple Leavof tomorrow, Tuesday
and Wednesday. While there are
only three games scheduled to be
played in the Ontario city, there Ia
an extra one to be staged, making
quartet in all. The extra game Is
the one which the Virgtnians won,
and which President Edward Grant
Barrow threw out for some reason
or other. after Sir Joseph Birming-
ham had protested In the opinion
of almost every one, including the
Canadian scribes, the game rightfully
belongs to Richmond. but Prexy Bar
row thought otherwise, 50 there you
are. As II now stands IL will have
to be won all over again and 1t will
be played OFF on one of the three
days. Billy Smith got real peeved
over Barrow throwing out this game
and he Is going to make his boys
extend themselves the limit to get Il
again. Right conquers might, so the
old adage goes, and II II be so the
Virgtnians will take tho contest away
from both President Barrow and the
Toronto outfit.
Following the quartet OF encounters
with the Toronto club, with which
Joseph Birmingham has Just severed
his connection. the Virginians will go
further into hostile Canadian territory,
taking on the Montreal Royals DUR
ing the weekend. These games will
be the last ones to be played in King
Georges domain during the present
season, and It Is now UP to Billy and
his boys TO make the populace OF
those towns sit Up and take notice.
The Maple Leaves have been handled
rather roughly in Richmond this
year, they having won only one con-
test during their three trips here this.
season. For this reason the Toronto
bunch Is anxious to hang a few de-
feats on the Richmond club. Billy
Is not anticipating much trouble in
getting next to the Birmingham ag.

fact that his underlings will have to

RY ERNEST POLLARD.

FTauRht with injuries and defeats,
the week brought to q close yester-
day afternoon with a double victory
for the Buffalo Herd was the most
disastrous one spent by the Richmond
virginians during the 1916 campaign,
Although II was thought that the
old ink had been chased several days
ago. 1t now looks as II the hoodoo
will continue to Turk In our midst
until the curtain falls ON the present
season. The Nnx has persistently
lowered over the Richmond camp
since the opening OF the season, and
although It was thought to have been
buried beneath the peaceful sod on
several occasions. 1t continues to crop
UP at the most inopportune time.
Richmond started the trip away
from homo last Monday afternoon by
dropping both parts of twin attrac-
ton to Tommy Leach's Rochester
Hustlers. Since that time everything
has gone wrong for the local boys.
Aside from losing five contests to the
Rochester and Buffalo clubs, the en-
tire machine was broken up by either
injuries or sickness,
Ross Is Still Sick.
Ross was taken sick soon after
leaving home and has been under a
physician's care ever since. He went
INTO the closing game yesterday af-
teruoon. but he was too weak even
to be in uniform. He went in on
his nerve and retired after the sec
ond inning. Hendryx has also been
sick and has been able to play only
about half the time during the week
Steinbrenner was hurt in the eighth
inning of Fridays game and will
probably be out of the lineup foi
the rest OF the season. At the
present time the team is shot to pieces
and II will take mighty alright pitch
ing on the part OF the pitchers or
some hard hitting from the locals to
win a fair percentage of the contests
on the road.
Announceme nt came from Buffalo
Yesterday to the effect that Slim Nc
kenny will make an attempt to pur-
chase his release from the Virginians
for the sum Of $500. This Is the most
welcome bit of news received here
in some time, The elongated one is
practically worthless to Richmond.
He may be able to win for other
teams, but he will have TO display
more than he has shown In the box
for Richmond during the past few
weeks.
