LEXINGTON 2; RICHMOND /
Only After Fifteen Innings Did
Richmond Take The Count.

Lexington defeated Richmond
NSunday in the longest game
played here this season. The
game was interesting all the
way, and was a pitchers battle
from first to last. Campbell for
Richmond, though defeated,
struck out twenty-four of the
home boys.
Richmond was the first to
score, making their run in the
sixth inning. Lexington came
right back in their half of the
inning and tied 'er up. Rich
mond threatened again in the
fourteenth, but Burris flied out
letting runners die on second
and third.
Campbell, for the Raycounti-
ans, was the whole show. He
whipped them over the plate at
all angles, making some of the
home boys take the count five
times. But then Cross for the
Athletics was pitching his us
ual steady game, so there was
nothing doing in the run line for
the visitors. In fact, it was a
worlds series game reproduced
ON the home lot. The Richmond
boys were as helpless before
Cross as the "Sox" were before
MR.. ELLER.
Navel and Burnett were the
officials.

The Wind

I'm often weary OF the wind:
sometimes think it should be
timed (the British word for
"canned"): it's hard to seem
serene and gay with all your
whiskers blown away, by winds
resistless famed. ! sometimes
sit beneath a tree. and take a
book to comfort me, and count
OH happy hours; I'll doze and
read, and read and doze. inhale
the fragrance OF the rose. and
other moral flowers. And then
there comes a roaring wind, shot
from some cavern of the Ind,
which blows me from my chair !;
my treasured volume disappears,
and dust is blown into my ears,
and sandburs in my hair. Some
times | take off hat and shoes,
and lay me down to have a
snooze, as peaceful as clam,
and then a wind sweeps through
the shack, and all the timbers
groan and crack, and doors be-
gin to slam. Last eve l set out
cabbage plants; a wholesome
task like this enchants the sane
and normal guy; and in the
forenoon OF this day the wind
blew all those plants away; |
wept to see them fly. | hear
the ladies crying, Rats when
they're deprived Of costly hats
by wayward, wanton blast; and
men forget good form and swear
when lids are soaring every
where, and wigs are flying past.
