K<'-lease paper* were handed Pitcher
P rank Hale, of the Colt*, before the
team started to Koanoke. He will j
join the Greensboro, N. C., team, anu
doubtless will prove oi value to them.
Owner Bradley said Monday morn
ing that Hale's work had been satis
factory, but the release was necessary,
as tho clubs are allowed only four
twirlers. Hale not having shown the
class exhibited by Kevelle, Verbout.
Morrissey and Salve, he was elected
to get the kibosh.
Hale won his spurs with tho Bir
mingham team and his work was so
good that Koanoke gave him a berth
last year.
Morrissey, w ho was touched up so
lively by the Champions in Saturday's
game, will face the Highlanders again
Monday, and is determined to turn
the trick on them. Messitt will be In
the receiving department, and prob
ably will hold Morrissey up better than
he was in Saturday's strife.
Jenkins and Schmidt will be on the
points for the champions.
The Colts left Sunday night for the
h me of the Koanoke Champions,
w it, - on Monday they participate in
the i monies Incident to the tlag
raising. The Roanoke management
has made xtenslve preparations for
the Jubilee, . -ij judging from the talk
of the player, if both clubs, they are
all anticipating a joyous time.
Owner Bradle.. was unable to get
off with the team, but will leave Rich
mond Monday night. Several Rich
mond newspaper men went along as
the guests of the club. A number
of other ardent fans started on the
trip, attracted by the promise of ac
tlv itu-a In the fun line.
President Williams, of the Koanoke
slut., was in Richmond Saturday with
MrII Bradley and witnessed the game.
President Williams says that all ar
rangements are completed for a big
celebration In his town, and that the
Hug raising will be one of the biggest
runts of the year. He saya that mu
sic and a parade will be a part of the
program, and that he expect* the re
cord crowd of the season to wltnese
the first gamo of the series betw'een
the Colts and the Champs.
There are a few fans who believe
It a disgrace for a team to he defeated
by a score such as that that deter
mined Saturday » game. But It is a
gratifying fact that there arc but few.
Any club Is likely to have an off day
when its pitchers are not going well,
while the opposing twirler is perform
ing in his best style.
This Is to b« expected, and happens
nowhere more often than in the big
leagues, where the finest clubs In the
world are frequently swamped by the
weaker clubs, and with score# much
larger than that credited to Koanoke
In Saturday's game.
The statement that the Colts did
not play in good form Is not well
founded, since there were but three
errors made. It is here that each of
these was costly, but the visitors would
have won by a score nearly as large
had the locals been guilty of no er
rors whatsoever.
The local* were not completely out
played. and did not appear outclassed,
but lost simply through the ineffective
pitching of their twirlers and the ef
fective work ot the visiting pitcher.
Still tied with the Truckers for third
place, the Colt* have an excellent
chance to Jump into second place at
no late day.
Their present series with the
Champs may reseult with two game*
to their credit, and if so the end of
the week might llnd them securely
perched next to the top.
If unable to climb higher Just at
this time, the local* will at least be
able to hold their position, and will
take another step up when the first
opportunity offers. While the Champs
look good, they do not seem to be
stronger than the Colts, and Andraaa
seems to be the only twirler on their
staff who has anything on the local
batters. The little fellow cannot twirl
every game, and while he Is resting
the Colt* will be doing something to
the. other pitchers.
Having won thirteen straight games,
the Danville Bugs are due to stop
their onward march, and when they
do stop the locals are In the second
best place to benefit. It Is hoped that
«t least by July 4. when two games
are played here, the Colts will either
be at the top or very close to It, and
at this time it does not appear that
their chances are slim.
The work of Curley Brown at short
gtop In Saturday's game made glad
the hearts of his many friends hera,
and he demonstrated that he Is easily
In the class with the best Inftelders
ts the league.
Brown was placed In a difficult po
sition on Friday, when he was unex
pected called upon to take Baker’s
place at shortstop. He went In and
did as well as could be expected of
him In a strange position, only two
errors being charged against him.
Preceding Saturday's game Brown
worked out In the poeition with the
result that he not only fulfilled all the
nice things that have been said about
him. but also handled the position
fully as well afc Baker could have
done. Seven chance# were offered
him and all were accepted In good
form. Several of hU plays followed
hard Chances. and the crowd showed
iUi appreciation of his good work.
The Richmond management will
probably consider twice before Brown
is handed his release. If he leaves
here he Is sure to be picked up by
some other club, and as a promising
player, one who Is sure to develop
rapidly, the Colts would make a mis
take to let him go.
Brown holds a peculiar contract
with the Richmond club. It provide#
that In the event he is not wanted
here he shall be a free agent- Ho
was free befors hs came hers, and
Insisted that stipulation in t\l« con
tract before be would sign up.
Lawlor. of the Colts, who
has been expected here for several :
days, will not arrive until Wednee- :
day or Thursday of this week. He .
has wired Owner Bradley that his let
ter, written last week, was misinter
preted, and that he did not Intend
to convey the Impression that he
would he here before Wednesday of |
this week.
Lawior will take charge of the team
upon Its return from Roanoke, and
will direct the play from the bench
for the remainder of the season. His
injured ankle Is much Improved, but
It Is pot expected that he will be In
the game again this season.

Driving Morrissey from the box In
the second inning and hitting Verbout
almost at will during the remainder
of the game, the Roanoke champions
piled up seven runs against the Colts
Saturday, while Andrada held the lo
cals to four scattered hits and allowed
them but small chance to score.
The Colts played a good game ex
cept In one or two Instances, their de
feat being due entirely to the heavy
hitting of the visitors. Cowan was
guilty of several bad plays in the early
Innings, that were responsible for the
poor start but he settled down to
ward the middle of the game and work
ed consistently.
The Colt's only chance to score came
In the first inning and had they been
able to get their two runners across
then the game may have ended differ
ently. After I.andgrafT was out. Brown
singled to right and stole second. f>haw
singled to left and Messitt held Brown
at third. Shaw' stole second, but Wal
lace fouled out to Schmidt and Titman
sent an easy fly to Spratt. After this
the locals did not thereafter and An
drada mowed them down with seem
ing ease.
Visitors Start Strong.
The Champs started oft with a rush
and secured more than enough runs in
the first Inning to win the game.
Poweil led oft with a single to right
and stole second, Doyle singled to left
and Powell scored When the ball got
away from Irvine, Doyle going to sec
ond. Shaughnessy sacrificed and Hol
land singled, scoring Doyle, Holland
was caught stealing and Brown threw
Newton out.
Kpratt led off in the second inning
with a triple to deep right and Ver
bout was sent in to relieve Morrissey
Spratt scored on Schmidt's sacrifice
fly to center and the next two men
were easy outs.
The visitors ran wild on Cowan In
the third and scored two runs on a
single, a free pass, his wild throw and
two stolen bases. They failed to score
in the fourth and fifth but in the stxth
they sent over two more with a double
a single and LandgrafTs error.
Verbout tightened up after the sixth
and the Champs did not threaten
again. A pretty double play in the
eighth showed that the Colts were
still in the game.
Curly Brown showed a complete
reversal of form at shortstop and fill
ed Baker's place In a most satisfac
tory manner.

Big Tewing Psat.
NORFOLK, June 20.—One of the
most successful expeditions the Mer
■ritt Wrecking Company ever handled
is at an end. The big car-ferry
steamer John W. Garrett, formerly
j used by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
! road at Baltimore, and for several
! years by the Norfolk and Southern Rail
road at Albemarle Sound, has been
landed safe and sound in the Mis
sissippi river, not far from New Or
leans. The Garrett will be taken to
Redwood, which is about five miles
from New Orleans, where she will be
used in transporting passengers and
passenger cars across the Mississippi
The Merritt wrecking steamer Rescue
! took charge of the Garrett off Oera
coke Inlet, towed her down the coast,
' through the Gulf of Mexico and up
, the Mississippi to her destination.
One of the crew of the steamer
talked entertainingly to-day about the
voyage. He said that the steamer
used her steam part of the way, and.
In regard to the weather, stated that
conditions were fine until about 100
miles from the lightship at the Jetty,
which marks the approach to the Mis
sissippi. when there were severe
squalls. The steamer was hauled close
to shore and her stern bore the brunt
'of the blow. It took about seven days
to make thf trip. The Garrett, he
said, would be fixed up like new before
entering the service again. She carried
on the trip down the coast a crew
of lt men. consisting of firemen, deck
baste engineers and cooks.

HARVARD LOOKS BEST
IN RACE WITH YULE
Experts Believe Crimson Oars
men Will Defeat Old Eli's
Sons in Regatta.
NEW LONDON. CONN., June 20.—
While experts who have seen both
crews in their workouts here are in
illned to believe that Harvard will
win the Thames regatta on June 30,
it is admitted that Yale Is getting into
better shape every day. and the old
time Yale spirit is expected to make
the race close from start to finish.
Neither crew U as strong as has been
figured.
Yale's boat is weak for several rea
sons. The absence of Tucker from
No. 2. the mishap to Ktrok Wallis and
the general inexperience of the entire

DECLARES STOP ORDER'
NOT HONESTLY EIVEN
1’aliforniau Thinks Fight Stopped
to Help Frisco Gel Panama
Exposition.
That motives rather than
hottest objection led to Governor Gil
len's ortiet to stop the Johnson-Jef
fries prise fight Is the startling charge
made by H. W. Black, of San Fran
cisco. wh> has been spending a few
days in Richmond.
Mr. Black, a prominent business
man well posted on public affairs, de
clares no interruption to the plans of
the fighters would have been made
had It not been for the hint thrown
out by Representative Bennett, of New
York, to the effect that preventing the
fight would'aid San Francisco In her
light to be designated as the panama
Exposition city.
"In other words there was a chance
for a bigger graft.” said he. "The
thing was »o plain on Its face that
California people will not take kindly
to the govi rnor hereafter.
• I am glad the fight must go else
where. but as a citizen of California
1 uinmt commend the stand of Otl
lett because of tho /reasons which
prompted his act."
Continuing Mr. Black declared that
Governor Glllett had previously de
clared on many occasions that he had
no authority to stop the fight. Ac
cepting tho executive’s word, he said
the promoters of the fight spent
thousands of dollars tn preparation,
all of wnlch sum. If the stop order
holds good, will be lost.

Secretary Whately Pays Output
Will Be Between 60,000 and
70,000 Barrels.

county this rear will be larger!»r t»T
than that ever produced In the his
tory of the county. At leaat thls
the forecast of Walter Whately. of
Croset. re rotary and treasurer of
the V’lrginia State Horticultural So
ciety. whose valuation of the rrun
crop Is no rough guess work, but
from actual figures.
“In ISOS," e*ya Mr. Whately. Alb#
marie county .nipped a total of «*.<5*
barrels and 1 110 bushels In bulk car
loads. In ISO# we shipped 44.Ill bar
ids and z.735 bushels In bulk car
loads. In neither of these years did
our orchards bear anything like a full
crop—In fuet. no more than 50 per
com This year we estimate our trees
to have a far better yield on them
(about "5 per rent, of a full crop),
with several young orchards coming
into bearing for the first time. On
this basis our output this year should
amount to between 66,000 and 70,000
barrels, and from 2.000 to 2.600
bushels In bulk. Though we have a
large proportion of the highest grade
and highest priced apples In the world
(the Albemarle pippin). I will aay
that we might average only $3 per
barrel, taking Into consideration our
No. 2‘s or a total value of from 61*6,
000 to 6310,000 for our apples ship
ped In barrels, with from 6600 to
$7 50 added for those shipped in bulk.
Estimating these at 30 cents a bushel,
a grand total of from 6166.600 to
6210,750 would result. On the same
basts of prices, last year’s crop realis
