The base-ball teama of the Masonic
Home and the Jefferson Athletic Club
played an exciting game at the Broad
Street Park yesterday afternoon, result
ing In a victory for the Masonic? by a
score of * to 5. Here la the score by
Innings:

TWO GAME* MEMORIAL-DAY.
Norfolk to Lock Horn* WKh Rich
mond??Uoaatp About the Club?.
When Richmond comes home Monday
week Norfolk will oom? along also, and
as the day la a hollday-Memorlal-Day
two games will be played, one in the
morning and the other in the afternoon.
The Norfolk Club ia much stronger thla
year than it was last season. Mr. Har
vey Cunningham, one of the owners, is a
great enthusiast, and haa helped Manager
Jewel to gat a fine club together. Th?
men have been playing great ball against
odds, and th? game? here will no doubt
be good ones. Little Johnny Foreman,
who was a member of the Champion Pe
tersburgs In lhi-H; Bishop, the Richmond
boy, and Pfanunller have done a clever
bit of pitching. The Clams have put up
a good game, and when thty striko Rich
mond will work very hard to get victory.
A brUl club without gingar Is like a
ship without a rudder. The success of
Ned Hanlon, In the "big league," with his
Baltimore Club is duo to the snap and
life hla men display at all times. They?
never quit until the last man is out, be
the score ? to 1 In their favor or 8 to 3
against them. Lancaster and Hartford
display lots of ginger, but Richmond In
that respect Is quite weak. It was never
so befoie, and ther: la but ono reason
to assign for the lack of life. There has
been very little rooting from the grand
atand and bleacherlaa. The players must
not be blamed, for the example set them
by the poople that com? to see them is
followed well If th? crowds open up,
make things lively, an! hustle the players
get In the game too, and Instead of one
of those sleep-producing exhibitions ther?
will be a hot time at Broad-Street Park.
Little Gus Dundon haa faithfully kept
every promise made for him. When he
was signed Manag.ar Welle told the pub
lic that the young player would be a
worthy successor to Elb?rfeld. Reports
from the practice grounds at Charlotte
gave Gus a good showing, and from the
v?-ry start the youngater, though suffer
ing from a very sore arm, commenced
his march to th? hearts of the rooters,
und now he is there safely. Dundon Is
not as brilliant In his work as was Elber
fatd, but he doe? just aa difficult acts
with neatness. He cover? as much ground
aa "Brownie" ever did, goes ?round the
bases with more speed, and hits the ball
oftener and ?afer. He la in the gume all
the time, never Quitting until play ends.
His voice la not strong ?nough to be
heard In the crowd, but the pitcher hears
him chirp out words of encouragement
from the opening of the gamo until the
last man is out. It was said th*\t Gus
would mako tlia rootors miss Elberfeld
vi y little, and It Is a fact that he has
?Jone so.
The many friends and admirers of Jes.?c
Tunnehill here are happy because of his
success so far this season. The clever
little Southpaw has been Pittsburgh win
ning pitcher since the season of 1898
btartul. Uu expressed here at Christmas
with much contidence the opinion that
tliia season would be the best of his life,
and well nas hi.-* prediction been verified.
Bef?te the Beason started It was thought
that "Tanrie" would not appear In Un
box often, but would be used ?a an out
fielder on account of his hitting ability,
and Manager Watkins almost said as
much, but Brodie showed up In good
form and Jesse was sent to the rubber.
Mu?:h surprise has been expressed that
Watkins has not given Sam. Leever a
show. The big fellow osa certainly pitch,
and a mistake is being made in not using
him. Last winter he wrote a friend here
that he would not sign with Plttsburg
unless he got his price, and If he got it
the Pirates will certainly use him later.
There la some talk away from home
about the ability of the Richmond Club.
Some wrltera say tho local team la a
great fielding aggregation, but will not
be able to get up In the pennant race be
cause they cannot hit. Can't hit? Why,
tho Richmond Club outhit all comers when
the season opened up here. The boys hit
hard, too, und many of the hits mado
runs. They hit 30 per cent, better than
the club? they played, and even on this
trip, the first away from home, the boys
havo done good stick work. The hitting
is all right, so is the fielding and busc
runnlng, but there is room for vim, sn ?*.,
and ginger, and the sooner Captain Klopf
or somebody olse get? the player:* to
??pen their mouths the better. Mana-;, r
Wells, when he was playing, had a way
of singing out to th? boya to work, and
Harry Btrte used to throw life Into the
game, but Hargrove and Leahy are th?'
only players contributing glr.ger Just now.
Speaking about Richmond'3 pitchers, It
Is the general opinion all over the cir
cuit that Richmond haa a very strong
corps of twlrlers. Chesbro Is rated as
the best, and there are lota of patrons
here who a?ree that Jack Is a fine one.
Umpire Brennen and Players Klopf anil
Hess say that Frank Spark?? is a wonder,
and that aa ?oon as he works the "kinks"
out will mnke the stars shine up. Otis
Rtocksdale is pitching be:ter than h?
ever did since, he left the National
League, three yema ?go, and may come
around In the form he di?l when Ned
Hanlon picked him for a winner. Henry
Schmidt has b.-.-n doing great work, but
there has not been enough hot went",.-.
to get him In g?>od working shape. H
will pitch better than he haa been doing
by July. Archie Stimme!!, who Is, in the
opinion of many, the best pitcher in the
league, haa mastered his sickness, and
Is working in fine shape. With such
catcher? as Hess and Vigneaux the pitch
ers are being well supported behind Ur
bar
Whit-Monday Excursion to Waah
laaton.
Under the direction of Mrs. J. R. Olli,
superintendent of the Male Orphan Asy

Hancock streets at ? A. M. on Monday,
and, returning, will leav? Washington

Mrs. Julia McGhee died at th? resi
dence of her husband, on Brook r??ud.
Friday morning at 6 o'clock, after .?.
brief illness. She wa? about 22 years old.
