DANVILLE FAILS 10 SPOP TIGERS Three Straight for Roanoke Keeps Champs Safely in Last Place. Danville, Va.. August 0.?Roanoke madc It three straights from the Champs by taking the game this af? ternoon from the locals, 6 to 4. push? ing two men across In the ninth In? ning. The locals made a hard try In their half of the ninth, but the best they could do was one run. It was I'erryman against Hull, and the form? er lost the game, owing to base." on balls. Danville started off like a winner scoring two runs In the llrst. but drop? ped behind In the fourth and fifth, when Roanoke made three runs, and the was never able to overcome the lead though thr; box tied the score In the sixth. The locals did not play with the vim that Roanoke did, and thereby hangs the tale. The acore? Roanoke. A.B. R Olnn, cf. 4 1 Shaughnossy, rf. 3 1 Pressly, lb. 4 2 M< Cauley, 3b. 4 1 fS.

The great volume of publicity which it will secure for Richmond, and for each firm participating, could be pur? chased only through the expendi? ture of possibly 510,000, while the quality of the publicity will be such as no amount of money could buy, it being editorial and fiure news matter, which is not for sale by the press at any price, except as inspired by friendly feeling and admiration for such a progressive and up-to-date movement."

Back home to-day after our r,ear trlumi>hal march upon Lynchburg. Though thwarted in our desire to get rid of at least four games In the se? ries?there were just that number played ? wo nevertheless hold our heads high, for we are secure In the knowledge that we did the best we could. We won a game, but why blame us for that. Slattern-Jawed Philanthropie Stark Is the ono at fault. He made us a present out of the goodness of his heart, snd It was ns much a surprise to us as it was to any one else But we are home again ?home to carry on the warfare, and if link be with us and the Goobt-.rs hruckrnlllerize enough of the games, and the Bed Sox <jult being so peevl?h about their honored position" where tlicy can get a most excellent view of the procession as jt passea by, we will yet achieve the glorious end which Is our goal. Two games were played In Lynch burg, and the first came our way by virtue of the gra,clousness of the S. P. Starke referred to above. He was guilty of a wild heave or two, which more than offset the surplus number of blngles which Dutch Hevelle al? lowed S. P.'s fellow-players. Dutch horseshoed his way through so nicely I In the first that Manager Cowan ; thought he might have something In his hip pocket; a rabbits loot or something equally as potent, and sent j him back to bring home the last, j By this time, however, the Shocmak | era had been fully advised of all that . l>,:tch bad In the s?hop and really on i tlcipated what he was going to serve, i while Bruck allowed the Colts to eke out the thlnfi which the doughnut surrounds. .There was nothing of peculiar Inter-j e'st in either o fthe games. Aside from the surprising announcement that Richmond won a game, tht wire's ! buzzing was as monotonous as of yore. | j Hanks or Hogue will probably start J against Busch, and he will doubtless use .Hamilton or Hanslfan. _ i j An Ingenious young person who had t much time on his hunds managed to ' saw off the following chunk working I up an appetite for breakfast. With reservations we commend it tu your tender mercy. This is how It Jerks: The Fun?' Lament. We that go out. day by day, Read the dope and watch the play. Raise our pipes nl this sad song, Something's rotten, something's wrong. And the universe Is gone to smash, j What's the use of going out, If we cannot get the clout. If we alt and watch them drown. I Three men on and one man down, And the universe all gone to smash. Take the men and stack them up. Fit to win a challenge cup! Martin, Dobson, Prlost ami all. Play the game and play good ball, But the universe still goes to Bmash. Mac and Mattls in the garden. Need of no man ask a pardon. Then there's Scrap Iron, on whose | ' brow Weight of worlds is brooding now. | But the universe still goes to smash, j Wallace still can catch a fly, Rtill has got his batting eye, But each day it looKa the same. If we play, we lose the game. And the universe still goes to 1 smash. Mr. Bradley, hear our plea, I Give us baseball fit to see Ere tho last- fopd fan's disgusted. Ere the management is busted, And the universe clean gone to smash! j Plttsburg Is now In the lead in the I National League. Despite the fact that the Pirates are going strong, no less 1 a person than Edward I.yon, just re- | turned from looking them over, de- j elnres that the Cubs will be first tin- j der the wire, and he is backed In his opinion by no less a person than Er? nest J. Lannigan. than whom no mnn Is better qualified to Judge. Univer? sally the Mackmen are selected for first honors in the American, especially In view of the fact that the Tigers are j now playing minus their captain, Mo | rlnrlty being out of tho game because I of a spike wound.

Charlottesville, Va.. August ?.?The, first, day of the eleventh annual ex- I hlbltlon of the Alhemarle Horse Show Association brought out some of the best horses ever seen In a Virginia show ring, according to competent judges Twenty-three classes were shown, and competition was so close that it was dark when the ribbons were pinned On the winners In the final event.

Mrs. Allen Potts won first money in I sporting tandem class, with Pretty Maid at the wheel. David Gray and ] Mate were second. i The two entries In the four-ln-hand class gave such a superb performance that the judges divided the purse, and '? pave each a blue ribbon.
