?lames Sullivan wilt take his Colts
over to Petersburg to-day for n series
of three games with Heinle Busch's
Goobers. All Petersburg Is dressed up
for the occasion, and a monster street
parade?this according to the press
reports?will, tako place to inaugurate
the season of Uli I tri the Cockade
town. Not only will Richmond, the
old-time and forever baseball enemy of
the Village on the Appomuttox, be the
attraction, but the new park will bo
opened for the first time to the public.
President Seward is making great
preparations, and will turn all of his
factory employes loose In order to at?
tend the game. He has gone further,
and presented each one a free ticket
to the game. / The street car company
has offered a special rate. Including
round-trip fare and admission to the
game, from South Richmond. It looks
like n big day for Pcterstpwn?such a
day as happened during the lime of
the old Trl-Clty dengue, when Rich?
mond. Manchester and Petersburg
locked horns occasionally.
Sullivan has not decided who will
work. Cy. Pierce, much, to ihe regret
of every one, was called to his home
In Baltimore "yesterday because of the
serious Illness of his mother, and It Is
not known when, he will be back. If
Sullivan follows the succession Inau?
gurated at the beginning of the sea
sol:, It Is Jack Barker's day to go
against the Goobers. Johnny Vor
bout, however, only worked In font
Innings Saturday, which could hardly
be colled a game, and he may bo se?
lected.
Then there are f.othrop and Ward
both anxious to get a chance, and each
sure that he Is good enough to win
Sullivan wants that game to-day?In
fact, ho wants every game, but he Is
particularly anxious to win the first
game away from home. Being a su?
perstitious individual, ho believes that
If he wins the first one away it means
good things for him during the sea?
son. From the camp of the enemy
comes the information, via the grape?
vine route, that Heinle has been In?
structed to bent Richmond, lie is go?
ing to try nnd deliver, and the result
should be a real game.
The first series of the season has
demonstrated what appeared In these
columns as a prediction befove the
opening of hostilities. Richmond Is
stronger offensively than defensively,
though the te-nm as a whole did not
show the ability with the stick which
was shown during the pre-season games.
Especially Is this true In the case of
McCabe. He was hitting like a fiend
in the exhibition games, but out of
eight trips to the bat since the begin?
ning of the season he has failed to
connect once. II.- may gei. his stride
back soon. Let's hope so. ?
Truck Rgan Is another who might
help us some by hitting with greater
frequency. He managed to get a
blngle out of nine efforts, but better
things were expected of him. and are
to he expected of the man In the
clean-up place. Perhaps It's the weath?
er, but whatever It is. the time has
arrived when we must lift to win. We
got away lucky with the first game,
and won n battle, which, with any?
thing llkn an even break of luck,
should have gone to Danville. The
second we deserved to win, but could

Out of eleven men participating In
the three opening games, eight lielded
1.00C. while one. Baker, spoiled a clean i
record by fluking one out of twelve
chances. His fluke could hnve been
credited as a hit, though the majority
Judgment of those scoring was that
he was entitled to an error. It hap?
pened in the third Inning of the first
gntne. Morgan laid ono down In the I
grass, and Baker was in on the ball In
ciulck time, lie threw high to Cowan,
and Lenry called Morgan out. George
wan pulled Into the air. and then Leary
changed his mind, nil of which looks |
as If Willie earned his error.
McCabe's poor showing, ho nays, Is
due to a slippery ball. Ho had but
three chances, and bulled on one of
these. It Isn't fair to roast a man
under such conditions, and the same
holds for Pierce. But eliminate tho
error of Pierce and the error of Mc.
and Just see what the team average, j
would be.
All around the circuit the teams are j
pluylng good ball?much better ball j
than was played last year. Otis Stocks
dale managed to win trfe series from
Prank Shatighncssey's crowd, losing
but one out of the throe. Charlie
Babli. with his Tars, did what Rich?
mond did?won two and tied ono?a
very good showing, though B?sch has
no cause to feel ashamed of his team.
That last game, which went nine In?
nings to a 0 to 0 tie, was a great ex?
hibition of the game, especially at this
stage of the season.
Tt will be some time before Richmond
fans will have a chance to look at all
of the teams, and until then opinion is
absolutely worthless. Comparative
scores mean nothing In baseball, and
mighty little In any other sport. Nor?
folk will he here to end the week. But
sufficient unto the day, etc. We have
Petersburg to take care of first. Tho
teams will probably line up as follows:

manship at a price within
the reach of all. They are
known to be the most re?
liable medium priced auto?
mobiles on the market. The
key-note of the Chalmers line
is quality and service.
Proportionate construction,
affording p/enty of power,

which our competitors for
years have been striving in
vain to answer.
