mitted the locals to pile up an APP
parently safe lead before he was re-
lieved by Lefty Lee in the sixth

made one run without hit in the
sixth. but after that stanza Lefty had

an infeld cut resulted in the only run

Richmonders the game in the seventh

Petersburg's first two runs resulted
from two passes. four stolen bases, a
single and a passed ball In the open

from hit batters. Ham Reynolds being
the victim in each instance.

Manager Billy Smith and his Rich
norI Virginians will bring their road
trip to a close with a game this after

fact that the pitching has not been the
best.
Manager Smith has not announced
his pitcher for the game against the
Tarheels. but ii is thought that he will
send another one of his youngsters to
the mound. Should Adams arrive in
time, the former Mackman may be
given a chance to display his wares
against the Ryanites. Billy Reynolds
is slated to do the receiving. Man.

HIGH COPPER COST IS
BAR TO new INVENTION
O'connor of Bismarck Patents Drum
. head and Finds Material Soaring
in Price.

Bismarck, n. D., April 6.-Conduc-
tor-Motorman-Gener Superintendent
M. J. O'Connor of the capitol street
railway is enjoying some mixed SEN
sations today. This morning he re-
ceived a patent on a copper drumhead,
which he invented some time ago, and
in the same mail he was advised that
copper has scared to such a point that
his improved drumhead. just at pres
ent, would prove very expensive
luxury. Copper forms the head for the
reverse side of the drum, under
O'Connor's patent, giving the big bass
a very rich and ringing tympani eff
feet. The invention has been approved
by drummers of the New York and
Minneapolis symphonies, and If copper
ever goes down to a point where a
paper-thin sheet will not cost a for
tune, Director O'Connor expects to
put his improvement on the market.

REEVE STILL ON JOB
With GAME COMMISSION
Hold Over Because of Failure of
Governor to Name Successor.

Bismarck. N. D.. April 81. B..
Reave, of Beach. is still chairman of
the state game and fish commission SO
far as any public records have any
thing to say on the subject, although
Mr.. Reave was named April /, 1915, for
a term of but two years, and in spite
of the fact that section 8, chapter 161,
is construed to mean that his successor
should have been appointed on or be-
fore April /, 1917.
Capitol folk are inclined to wonder If
Governor Frazier has not overlooked
another bet. 1t is generally, known
that the governor has had another man
in mind FOR the job, but his commits
sion has not been filed. The question
is one somewhat similar to that in
volved in the board of regents case, in
which counsel for scow and Power,
whose terms expire July /, 1917, con-
tend that they will hold over until an
other legislative session because Gov
ernor Frazier did not nominate sue
cessors on or before the date specified
by the statutes. George M. Hogue, of
Steele, and John M. Kirk, of Bottineau,
Reaves associates on the game and
fish board. were named April l, 1915,
for terms of four years.
