(■Him’ called at 4:30 o'clock
By T. I>. Bonneville.
Manager Lawlor returned Thurs
day morning with his victorious Colt*
after scoring two shut-outs against
the Danville Bug* who looked so in
vincible in their recent series. ' They
looked exactly as we did in their
fame* here," said Cawlor. "we com- :
pietedly outplayed them in every de
partment and both game* vtere clean
•hut-outs"
It ia said that the Danville fans did
hot have much to say about the first
game, evidently thinking that it was
^an accident, but when the Colt*
scored another shut out they began
to yell murder and prove themselves
poor loser*.
The Colt* declare that they had
things handed to them pretty badly
while In Danville and it is hinted
pretty strongly that Umpire Wester
velt proved ■ himself a rank "homer."
Salve was put out of the game be
cause he threw his glove on the
ground following a rank decision by
Umpire Wesurvelt on a strike, and
he was promptly benched. At the
name time It is said that the Danville
players were swearing and using
abuulve language throughout me
game and that the umpire did not
venture to bench one ol them.
In Wednesday's game both of th*
Colts' pitchers twirled in fine form
and kept the Bug* guessing. Sahe
twirled five Innings and held them to
two hits and Morrissey worked torn
and held them for the same number.
The Colts claim that Callahan was
allowed three bases on a drive that
went foul by ten feet. Umpire Wester
velt was standing behind the pitcher
-and was not in line to judge the drive
properly. This was one of the hits
registered against Salve.
It is said that th« Buga continued
to wrangle continually and dbl all
they ebuld to make It hard for the
visitor*. They couldn't hit the Colts'
pitcher, however, and the fans could
not get over it. In the words of one
Of the Colts, "the Danville fans are
walking up and down one street hol
lering murder,"
Wallace was out Wednesday for
the first time, but it 1s not at all
certain that he will be in the game
before Monday. He stated Wednes
day evening that he was feeling bet
tar. but very sore.
Cowan will lie held for several days
even after Wallace gets back in the
game. The team will he nearly com
plete then, and Dawlor wishes to see
them in action In several games be
fore he lets the utility catcher go.
\Dtmple. the twlrler who called on
Owner Bradley Wednesday and ap
plied for a Job on the Colts' pitching
, staff, was introduced to Manager
Dawlnr Thursday and may be given
\ .a tryout. He Is a big. strong look
' tng fellow, and looks as if he may
' be a likely pitcher. He Is recom
mended by Dr. Sebree. who was with
the local club for several years, and
Is considered a good Judge of play
»rs.
Halve did so well against Danville
Wednesday that Lawlor will probably
not consider releasing him, and the
other three twlrlers on the staff are
permanent fixtures. Dimple will have
to be something extra In the way of
a twlrler to got a position with the
locals now.
It i* said that Hlghic played In
great form on llrst base during the
series tn Danville, ills batting slump
{^>ntim>Pt, however, and the strings
are still out for another man. Law
lor has two men in view, and one of
then may come here at any day
It is the desire of all Richmond
fans that’J Blgble pick up in his bat
ting. and remain with the club, lie
is a general favorite and his release
Would cause much regret here.
Lawler speaks highly of Hurke.
the new fielder. The new man played
R Star game In Danville, and seems
to be improving rapidly, though he
Started out strong even In his first
game here.
Wallace stated Wednesday that he
la willing to play either center or left
held. and that he will give the cen
ter field position to Burke if he wants
tt and Manager Lawlor is willing.
Lawlor says that all the mi n hit
tha ball better in Danville, and that
the heavy Danville hitters who look
ed so strong here made a pitiful
Showing. All of the men. with one
or two exceptions, have picked up on
thslr batting, and with the return of
Wallace to the game the Colts will
have a run-getting aggregation and
glitching staff that will make a com
bination hard to defeat.
Richmond Is now In third place,
iff had very close to second. If things
D break right for them now they will
fis-.ha Pushing Danville hard for first
• place in a short lime.

John Arthur Johnson rest. Joe
Woodman, manager of the big negro, j
has wired to friends in this city that, j
>n behalf of Langford, he will accept
Johnson's offer to light for a side bet
:>f $20,000.
In Kearney, Neb., Johnson declar
sd he would meet Langford if the i
latter could post a $20,000 side bet.
Woodman wired that he would post
the $20,000 as soon as Johnson ar
rived In New York and posted his
money.
The feeling between the two
negroes is bitter. Langford positive
ly refuses to take Johnson seriously.
I Wo re the Jeffries tight, latngford
bemoaned the fact that JefTries was
going to "kill that nigger Johnslng" ,
before he got a chance to do the Job. 1
Langford could give Johnson a run
for his money. In Boston five years
ago Langford gave Johnson a terrific
argument. Johnson heat him up in
the first five rounds and then Lang
ford tore In. For the remaining ten
rounds Langford had Johnson stalling
and hanging on for dear life, though
Johnson outweighed him fifty pounds.
Since that time Langford has In
creased his weight to ISO pounds. He
i eclares he will follow Johnson all
over the world, if necessary to make
him fight. Only a few months ago. In
Baltimore, when the negroes met in I
a negro club, Langford took off his
coat and ottered to whip Johnson ;
sn the spot.
No Permit for Parade. ,
CHICAGO. July 7.—"If a white man ! [
wants to meet- a black man In the i
prize-ring and gets ‘licked,’ why that's t
his business. Any way. the permit you ,
want Is up to the chief of police." 1 [
With these orders Mayor Busse
frowned on a request for permission to ,
hold a welcoming parade for Jack John
son upon his return here. The delega- i
tlon seeking the permit wanted a brass I
hand and an escort of police. They ]
next appealed to Police Chief Stewart.

Of Long the Wood Man's 1-4 cords Summer Wood will
last about 2 weeks, because it is dry and gives heat; it is
also easy to prepare, because it is clear of knots and was
split in right season. . Burning and last'n x qualities of
wood are made better by splitting it when sap is down.
I have been a strictly all round Wood Man over 12 years.
