Pertinent Comment BY GUS MALBERT Danville. Va.. May 3.?When Mr. Danville unlocked the" town this morn? ing the natives wero still rubbing their eyes and wondering whether they had been seeing double, or whether Rich? mond had" really made twenty-four | runs In yesterday's game. Then they bought The Timos-Dlspatch and veri? fied ihelr dreams. President Holland, of the Danville | Baseball Corporation. and Captain Harry Wooding, both regliiar fans, considering the defeat of the homo team a personal affront, refused to talk. On the word of John Carter, It Is 6tatcd ns fact that neither has spoken since the Tuesday Waterloo. j Sid Lodge spent all of the forenoon ' corralling copies of tho paper. It Is not known for what purpose he wants them, !hut?that'll nobody's business He not only made three hits in that game, but his three hits scored seven runs, and ho caught a perfect game, accepting several difficult chances, Johnny Verbeut pitched one of his very best games. Mere In tIlls glorious city on the D:in they say that the ball club has Johnny's number, and can win from him when It can win from ho on" else. If such has ever been tha case, the jinks went home after yes? terday, because he had I hut toam as completely si his mercy as 11 bull team j has ever been nt the mercy of any pitcher. Not until the game' was. cinched and lie let up a bit could they manage to knock tho ball out of tho diamond. Not often that a ball o'.uh makes ten runs in one frame, and lint often that thijy bat twlco around, down to the batterv. oh the second trip. The Colts I aro credited with sixteen hits during the game, but this number could havo j been Increased to twenty without hurt? ing tho. conscience of the official scorer. The O. P. here Is rather stingy?to tnc visiting rlurf, but sixteen Is pretij> good at that. The O.- S. likewise failed to glvo Wallace a stolen base, which hi got In the very llrst frame, second irlp up Baker was on second an.I went to third when Wallace hit to Morgan and was safe on a fielders cnoine. On tho next ball he went down. livery man of the Ooits, Is happy b< eiuso of the pounding handod ITnnks. For some reason tboy llko particularly to hit that worthy, and they did. Jimmy Sullivan has his-troubles. ' Ho waa unable to keep account of the | score. The club will setifl a round robin to Owner Bradley asking that the manager be given a secretary, as twenty-four Is by no means the limit. Wllllo Baker, tho Beau Brummel of the outfit. Is sore. WUMe Is long on glrlo. Last night a young woman called him over tho tolophono and named a trystlng plaoe. Willie walked eight city blocks to keep the appoint? ment When he got thors the young woman was not in sight. Ho waltcl. and still no young woman Then he came book to tho hotel. When rtads this he will get hi- first explana? tion. Oy Pierce was the girl calling I over tho telephone. Sid Lodge has been dubbed the s rlous member of the club. If ho wins ho smiles, and if he loses he manages to express himself In some such lan? guage as "Curses," or "Maledictions." He takes defeat like most people take' medicine. McCabo. the big fellow, Is some pool ist. He holds the championship bell, with a reoord of nearly pocketing ball on eighteen tries. Pool ploying Is tho only divert Isetnent which this gracious city affords. Truck Kgr.n mnnagrs to Iofc himself! every day after tho game. Where ho go?s nobody has been able to Und. but various clues so fnr unearthed load to the conclusion that he rather enjoys the softness of his bed. Ralph Mattls is gradually starving to death. Sinco his Initial brcnkfiiM he has wised up a lilt, and now orders the hill of fare from top to bottom His gastronomic ability now reaches In average his home run swats.
