Richmond, Va, June 17.-Pitcher
Finnegan, secured by the Richmond
Colts, from the Charleston team in
the South Atlantic Association, pitch
over the Wilson Bugs this afternoon.
The win for the home team en-
abled it to even the series with the

on the Wilson staff, was taken out in
the third inning when the first man
to face him doubled. He was relieved
by Bennett, who is charged with the
loss, as Wilson tied the score for

Although losing yesterdays game
while Rocky Mount and Portsmouth
were winning a glance at the Per-
centage column this morning shows
that we are only one and one half
games behind the Top-Notchers and
one full game from second place.
To further accentuate the c1oseness
of the race it is possible for us to
spend the week end tied for first place
in the event that we win both games
today and Portsmouth and Rocky
Mount lose.

The crowd was assembled around the cliff in a half-moon circle and the young man, who was close to the edge, turned around to answer hail from the rear when his foot slipped and he fell with his legs dangling over the cliffs eand grasping desperately at the rocks to keep from falling on theejagged rocks below. A negro man grabbed him and pulled him to safety
