To-day was Richmond'? turn, and her Bluebirds downed Manager Rlnn's cham pions by the close score of 3 to 2. It wa? a game chock full of excitement. Both clubs did brilliant work. Tho Lancaster boy? claim they were de feated by the umpire, and Brennan did apparently give them a raw deal. Rich mond had ?cored one run in the first in ning, Shannon drawing a base on balls, stealing second, and scoring on Har grove's double. They did not score again until thi fifth, and it was In that inning that the trouble occurred. With two men out, Dundon singled, and stole second. Then Klopf sent a hot grounder down toward flr?t base. Chiles gathered It In. and slid back to the bag. It looked? as if he got there before Klopf, who had been sprinting like a racer, but Brennan de clared the runner safe. Immediately there was a storm of protests from the audience, who thought the side had been retired. Some of the spectators said un complimentary things, and Brennan add ed to the uproar by "talking back." Dun don came home on the play, and a mo ment later Klopf scored on Shannon's double. The feature of th? game was the superb pitching of Sparks. He allowed but eight hits, and they were scattered through ?even innings. Sparks was especially ef fective with men on bases. He succeeded In striking out six men. Catcher Hess gave him BplflfteKI support. Klopf made both of Richmond's errors, but neverthe css played cleverly, accepting ?even hard ?nances. Dundon again put up a good jame at third. Clausen was the Lancaster wirier. He was also effective, allowing mly seven hits, and the disastrous fifth vas the only Inning in which the oppos ng batsmen could see him to any pur flflfl, The score, which follows, gives the letails: LANCASTER.

MORE THOOI _ FOR M EH RITT. Some of Tim?.- In Kn?tern Campa May Go to Manila. WASHINGTON, August 2.-Although the War Department officials will not admit that they had any intention of reinforcing further General Merritt's forces at Ca vit?, there is reason to believe that some of the troops now in Eastern camps who desire to see active service will soon find the opportunity, unless the government BhaU change its present plans with re Bpset to the Philippines. It is believed to be necessary, even If our claim is limited to the terms nain. 1 In the statement submitted to Spain? namely, to the military occupation and government of the territory on the shores of the Bay of Manila?to furnish to Gen eral Merritt a larger force than he now has at his command. It is realized that 20,?;00 soldiers can scarcely be expected to maintain Hatted State? possession and protect the Inhabi tant over a territory of this extent, for It must he remembered that the Bay of Manila Is twenty-five miles deep, from the entrance at'Corregidor Island to the ?ity of Manila, at its head. It will also be necessary to possess and I zone extending some distance Jack from the city, In order to make sure )t the preservation of the water-works. THE INSURGENT ATTITUDE. Of course a considerable force would lot be necessary, If the Insurgents under Vgulnaldo could be brought to realize hat their Interests He in permitting un ilsputed possession of thi_ territory by he United States, but It Is expecting toe? nuch of the native character to keep rom them the Idea of the rich booty n Manila, without an adequate torce to rotect the city. Then, the extreme heat and rains have ad an effect on the health of the troops, ot to the extOSt that it appeared at antiago, but sufficient to require some f the m?n to be invalided h'.m?-, and ieir places to be taken by fresh troops om the United States At present the irge majority of General Merritt's force . compos..! of troop? traer? fron the acific coart or far Western States It presumed that if he shall be reinforced, ?e Eastern troops will be given an op irtunlty to make the long voyage, as Us 1?
