SECOND LAW ACTS
TO REPEAL FIRST

The State auditor. in checking over
revenue and disbursement bills, yes
terday discovered that the Legislature
passed two bills relative to the pay
for Commonwealth attorneys of the
State, one bill practically repeating the
other.
The first bill increases salaries of
such attorneys In Prince George Coun-
ty from $50 a year to 5000, Peters
burg from 5000 to $500, and Dan
Vile from 500 to $1,000.
But another bill was passed, maxi
ing additional changes, though fall
ing TO provide for changes allowed in
the frat bin. The second bill Ia re-
garded as tho final law.
Under the second bill the following
changes are made:
Accomac County, reduced from $3.50
to ss5o.
Buchanan County. reduced from
s50e to $3.50.
Charles City County, reduced from
$3.50 to 800.
Dickinson. reduced from $500 to
$3.50.
James Oty, increased from $3.50 TO
$500.
Princess Anne, decreased from s4oe
to 5000.
Wise, decreased from $500 10 $500.
York County, increased from $3.50
TO $500.
This law does not affect the salaries
which may be paid by the county
boards OF supervisors. nor does It af-
feet conditions under which Common
wealth's attorneys may collect legal
fees from defendants.
The State now pays the Comm on
wealth's attorney of Richmond $3.50
year; the Commonwealth attor-
ney of Henrlco receives 300 from the
State; the Commonwealth attorney
OF Chesterfield. $500

Undauntcd by the defeat sus-
tained Saturday afternoon at hands
OF the Yannig ms, the Regulars came
back at Team No. yesterday after
noon with a vengeance, and succeed
ed in administering the youngsters

But for the fact that the last four
innings OF the game Manager Billy
Smith pitched for the Regulars, we
have our doubts about the Vans even
crossing the pan. Ferry. the young
hurler who was purchased by the
Virgfnias from Columbus, of the
American Association, worked during
the first Ave innings and during this
period he cut the Yanigans down with
perfect ease. allowing them to garner
but one lone safe wallop, and not
permitting single man get even
within close proximity OF the third
sack. He displayed very good form.
and IL he retains his effectiveness he
will be a permanent fixture to the
Richmond Virginians' hurting staff.
After Ferry had gIne httle over
half the route, Manager Billy Smith
sailed forth and began stean.ing his
benders across the pan. However,
they did everything else but battle his
underlings. After the game was over
Manager Smith announced he didn't
let out, but just didn't want to show
up his second team.
Pitchers Show Form.
Mason, who is said to be an anna
teur pitcher or Richmond, hurled the
first four innings for e. Yannigans,
and was touched for six safeties. This
boy worked fairly well, and Manager
Smith believes that he will develop
into good hurier In time. Wilson
succeeded him and he allowed the
same number of safe bingies in Ave in
nings Wilson, who halls from Cape
Charles. is left-hander, and has the
earmarks of a good pitcher. With a
little moro experience ne should de-
velop into a good hurler.
Scion caught for the second team,
while ODonneli worked for the Regu-
lars. Each contributed q safe bingle.
