Ineffective pitching, coupled with
crrorf. allowed Petersburg to win the
afternoon game here yesterday, before
one of the largest crowns ever wit?
nessing a ball game at the Broad
Street lot, by the lopsided score of
14 ta l. Richmond won the morning
game In Petersburg. 7 to 3.
It was another of those occasions
which clearly demonstrated that the
Colts are sadly lacking in the flinging
department. Kapp, who played sec?
ond Monday, was selected to do the
work, and pitted against him was
Handy Andy Bruckmlller, who presents
the olasa of the league when It comes
to elabmen. Rapp lasted exactly four
Innings, or. at least, he was allowed
to remain that long by Manager Cow
in. Ip that brief space, six hits, aided
hy some poor playing on the part of
Ezekiel. who was substituting at sec?
ond, brought home five Goober tallies,
lust as many as the Colts gathered in
the entire game.
Pierce Couldn't Help.
Plorce carried the white flag to the
ntre and attempted to stem the tide,
but it was no use. Those Goobers
were not to he stopped. They Jumped
on Pierce and swatted him to the ex?
tent of twelve hits. Including every
kind but a home run. and added nine
more tallies to the grand total. While
Ineffective fielding was responsible for
some of the scoring In the earlier
stages, it was nothing but the hit and
run In the latter stages, wich every
Goober but Kellher and Bruckmiller
crossing at least once, and all but
Bruckmlller credited with safeties.
Ooobervllle was happy, for be It
known that the Appomatti came over
In hordes. The Battle of the Crater
was a feeble whisper compared with
the noise they made as man after man
with the big "P" on his shirt front
crossed the rubber, adding to the tell?
ing defeat administered the locals. And
It happened in Richmond, which made
the enjoyment superlative.
Both Score In First.
In the very first round of the mill
Heinle Busch started the run getting.
Bowen struck out. hut Booe beat an
Infield tap, and with the first ball
pitched started for second. George
threw wide to Ezeklel, who was wait?
ing to take the throw, and the semi
pro allowed the ball to get away from
him, and Booe. who is some runner,
kept on to third. Busch was up, and
ho took two g>od ones. Booe got a
lead off, and wh'le Rapp was winding
up started on tl.S path to the plate.
He would have stolen home, but Busch,
deciding to take no chances, poked the
next thrown ball, even though It was
a waste ball down the first base line,
while Booe crossed, the visiting man?
ager dying at the initial sack. KelJ
her popped to Mattls and the inning
was over.
Richmond tied It up in the last of
tho same frame. Buker walked, and
stole, although Wallace stood in front
of the plate, and let the last strike
come 'over without attempting to aid
Baker going down. McCabe beat out
an Infield hit on a mighty close de?
cision, advancing Baker to third. Mat?
tls drove a high sacrifice fly to left,
and Baker scored, McCabe reaching
tcenod. Martin bowled the ball
through Bruckmiller, and stole, but
Dobson flew to centre, and tho Inning
was over.
Nothing In Second.
Spencer started the second by beat?
ing out an Infield hit. Stein hit to
ecntre. advancing the runner to third,
and took second on tho thrown-ln.
Epcncor was caught at third, and Ben
bow and Selvage were easy outs, so
that the two hits availed nothing.
For Richmond Cowan walked and
Ezeklel put him on second with a
sacrifice. Rapp struck, out and Baker
grounded from Bowen to Kellher.
The Goobers scored In tho third.
Booe beat out another diamond scratch,
and again stole second. Busch doubled

No Automobile Rat.es, Because
Official JJuard Refused
Its Sanction.
Without a single piece of fireworks
und without a 1 lishap to mar the day,
the Old Dominion Motorcycle Club cel?
ebrated the Fourth of July yesterday
with hoi ae mil motorcycle races, a
wrestling match, exhibition automobil?
races, and last, but not least, by a buoy
show, in which many proud and beam?
ing mothers exhibited mother's Joy and ;
lather's hope to an adinlring public. i
A large crowd was present, and tho
grandstand was ui.isually well tilled
i_onskierins the heat ot the day and ill"
dust with which the seeker after pleas?
ure in the otat'j Fair Grounds la usu- !
ally covered The exercises wer?
opened by an address by L> C. O'Fla

I He reviewed also tho progress of the
arts and sciences, and showed how the
years hud piled achievement upon
: achievement, until It would almost seem
that science and human knowledge
i could achieve no more. Ills speech wns
. well received, and he was graciously
applauded.
Tnen began the actual fun, which
continued until after 7 o'clock, wuen,
wearied out with pleasure, a little hun
1 gry end thirsty, the crowd began to
' dwindle away for the quieter eelebra
i lions to be held at home.
Rnce? \<>t Sanctioned,
j Each event came oft" according to
; program, except that there were nc
? automobile races only Individual races
; against time. The autoists were afraid
I to enter their curs in races, owing to
] the fact that the meet had not been
sanctioned by the American Automo
; bile Association. But there were good
motorcycle and horse races, and the
I automobile races against time were
well worth the seeing, though no rec?
ords were broken
As much as anything else, the baby
show attracted attention. The Judges
were the venerable John J Crutchfteld,
John S. Harwood and John L. S^lter
ft?ld, chosen necause they are pater?
familias themselves and good judges
of babies. After taking a careful and
cautious view of tbc specimens pres?
ent, the Judge.? awarded the first prize
to Beulah. the tight-month-old daugh?
ter of Mrs. R A. Adcock. 1312 West

Charlottesville, va.. July 4.?The
Richmond Collegians and the Char?
lottesville Y. M. C. A. baseball lean
played a double-header to-day on th?
Horse Show grounds, despite the In?
tense heat.
The Richmond team copped the
morning game by a score of s to 7
and the afternoon game 7 to 0. Th6
association team had everything Its
own way for six innings. Rlxey, Vir?
ginia's star twirler, tunned the Orsl
ten men who faced him and allowed
only one hit, and that a scratch. Inj
the seventh inning, however, the heat .
proved too much for him and he col?
lapsed, the Collegians sending seven '
men across the plate and lying the
score. Four hits were made by the
visitors in this session, two of them
doubles by Sitterding and H. Rose.
The Collegians won out in the
eighth. Sitterding. the first man up, j
nailed a three-bagger to right tlela. i
and counted on E. Rose's timely swat I
to centre.
Hinchman pitched a clever game, I
having thirteen strikeouts to his |
credit. He lightened up as tho game
progressed and finished very strong.
After the collapse of the Y. M. C. A.
battery. Rlxey and Gooch, Chowning j
went in the box and Muupln behind I
the bat. During the seven inning he
pitched, Rlxey struck out seventeen,
and in the sixth inning knocked the
ball over tho centre-Held feline. His
fast sprint around the bags, however,
proved his undoing, for In tho next
session he went to pieces.
A feature of the contest was Col

Of Owen Moran, of England, brought
victory to Ad Wolgast In the thir?
teenth round of to-day's International
battle for the lightweight champion?
ship. It was a clean knockout, and
the decisive victory was turned by
the rugged strength and punishing
power of the champion.
night upper cuts to the stomach,
followed by a left hook to tho Jaw,
torced the game lime English fightor
to take the count far the first time in i
his eleven years in the ring.
Moran ^anie up undlstressud for the
unlucky thirteenth round, although
it was plain lie was tiring. Wolgast
met him with a well-timed rush, un4
forced his way to close quarters.
Moran checken him with a left Jab,
but was bai ked against tho ropes In
Iiis corner. Suddenly Wolgast whipped
tils right arm tree, from the clinch,
and swinging from his hip. sent his
glove crashing three times to the pit
of Molari s stomach.
Moran's face whitened and twisted
with agony under the smear of blood
from his cut lips Hu groped blind?
ly to smother that blow, when his
knees gave way and he slipped to
the brown canvas that covered ihu
ring.
Tho champion whipped over a lefr.
hook to the ipw as Moran fell, but
it was not needed. Moran rolled on
his side, and his legs scrambled fov ?
a footing, but his mouth was open,
and his eyes rolled back, and tho
shouting noise brought the man to Inn
deadened senses. It was several min?
utes before he regained consciousness.
As Wolgast turned to his corner, morn
firmly planted than ever on the light?
weight throne, a grin flashed across
his bleeding Hps, and he plucked with
his gloved hands at the American flair
he. wore about his waist. In a second
he was smothered In the throng of
admirers who surged Into the ring,
untied the battle-searred f?ag and
waved Jt over Wolgust's head. Moran'.i
seconds entered a claim of a foul,
but the blows in question were plain?
ly seen from the ringside, and tho
protest was disallowed.
Terrific Pace.
Never for a moment during the bat?
tle did the terriilc pace slacken. The
American carried the right to his op?
ponent from the first tap of the gong,
as Moran was never abie to keep hint
at long range.
It was in clinches that, the cham?
pion showed to beat advantage. Moran
was unable to perfect a defense
against the short, ripping right upper
cuts. Wolgast worked to his ribs and
the "loop the loop" punch, a right upper
cut to the face outside his own left
arm that snapped the Britisher's :
head back repeatedly, and kept hia
mouth bleeding from tho first round.
At long range Moran clearly out?
pointed tho Michigan boy, and his
clever ducking and footwork extrl
? ited him from many a tight cornur.
It was a battle of a clever and ex
pi noticed boxer, against a tearing,
ripping fighter, and tho fightor
weathered the storm, with never a.
sign of distress.
U was a rough light from the start.
As the first round opened Moran came]
willingly to closo quarters, but was
ir.et ?Ith a volley of short lefts t<>
the face, nnd a rlsht uppercut that
brought blood from his Hps. It waa
the champion's round by a wide mar?
gin. an<l Moran came back for tho
second with Instructions to stay
away. With wonderful Judgment of
distance, ho slipped away from Wol?
gasts vicious swings, flashing In with
clean-cut lefts and rights as the cham?
pion opened up. It was Moran's round,
and he continued to pursue the samt
tactics throughout the fight. When
forced to close quarters In the third.
Moran fought back viciously. They
roughed It head to head. Wolga.-.',
working his cignt to the face and tho
body, and Moran working his left
