something is wrong
WITH CHAMPS LINE-UP
I’reasit-y is Out of the Gaum and
Winning Combination
is Broken
Up.
By T. I>. BON’JfEVIliLE.
Tuesday wan a fatal day for the
Colt*, In that their defeat by the
Shoemakers, while the Tara captured
a double-header from the Champ*,
put them In the poaitlon next to the
cellar, and they are not many point*
above the cellar champions at this j
time.
With a wonderful burat of speed the
Tars have become a factor in the •
rave, artd It would not be much of a !
surprise not to see Clarke's bunch j
keep on climbing and dlspla-e some
of the clubs that have been near the
top all seuson.
The Colts will have to do something
soon If they expect to finish In a
good position. With the pitchers in
poor condition and occupying next to ;
the last position, they are indeed in i
a poor predicament. One fortunate i
circumstance, -however, Is that the
locals are hitting the ball now at a
better dip than at any other time
Ihts season. J( the twlrlers are able 1
to get back in shape the dub may
yet stand a chance of getting up in
the column.
Something was wrong w ith the '
Champ* Tuesday, and had their line
up been complete It is doubtlul if the
Tars would have walked away with
both games. Pressley is one of the
surest batter* with the Champs and
he played only two innings of the
first game Hi* place was taken by
Shaughnessy, who finished the first
game and played ail of the second
on first base.
In the first game Doane was Jut
in right field and in the second game
Schmidt played the position. Fisher
caught the second game, and had
Schmidt been behind the plate the
game might have gone differently.
The Champs twlrlers did nt show
bad form, and but tor the mix-up in
the team things might have gone dif
ferently.
I ne Hugs »cem to nave gotten o«ck
in their strid.e though their two last
\i< lories may he a sudden flash of
lortn that will not continue. It looks
though, as it Griffin has succeeded in
whipping the dufc into shape again,
and they have agai nbegun a strong
tight tor the flag
A new < ati her has been signed up.
and he will, in a way, make up for
the absence of Joe 1-anghlln, who
was the mainstay of the club and the
real cause ot their great showing this
season The way the Mugs handled
the two heat twtrlers of the Goobers
--shows that they have not lost their
hatting eye. and this being the case,
they still have a good chance of
maintaining their position in the lead
Johnny Shaw had his hatting eye
Tuesday and found the Shoemaker's
pitchers for three singles four times
up. Shaw does not seem to like his
position at second l>ae* but he played
It very well after haring played at
third for an long a time, 1-andgraff
has not been ntlaaed to any great ex
tent. since he never pulled off any
sensational plays at second, and his
hitting was so weak that there ha*
been no scarcity of long hits since
his release.
Shaw handle* the position satisfac
torily. and while the pony infield of
the Colts wag broken up with the ad
vent of Dobson and Bunting, the po
sitions are all in better hands now
than at any other time this season.
The news that yesterday's game
was lost through a wild throw by
Dobson comes as somewhat of a sur
prise. but there are few players who
do not make costly errors at times.
The first sacker surely has a good
arm. and it is doubtless a fact that
he had but little time to make the
throw and that at least one runner
would have sored had he delayed long
enough to make a perfet peg.
It seems that Dobson has the bet
ter of Bunting with the atlck while
on the road and that Bunting loads In
the gamea at home. Both are hitting
at a good oltp. however, and have
every day proven their value to the
club. Dobeon acored one run Tuee
day and was robbed of another when
Leavy made a asnsational catch of
hie drive that should have counted
for a homer.
Wallace had an off day with the
stick Tuesday, and had the heavy hit
ting center fielder been been hitting
as usual, the game would doubtless
have gone to the Colt*.
The oenter gardner, while probably
the best hitter with in* clyib. cannot
alway# be counted upon to clout the
ball. On hie good day* he i» the ter
ror of oppoeing pitcher*, but at other
time he la unfortunate tn being put
out on foula and easy Infield chance*.
Wlalace went up four time# Tuesday
and got, not a thing that was of any
assistance in getting run*.—
The Shoemakers are fortunate In
getting the flret two games of the
series from the CoTta. The local team
is stronger now than at any other
time thla year, and it waa expected
that they would have an easy time
defeating the Shoemaker* on thla trip.
Things have broken badly for them,
however. and both gamea hava baen
lost through hard luck. Unfitness of
the twirlers and coetly errora at criti
cal times have been the cause of the
defeats, and these were things not
looked for.
% In the last game of the series, on
Wednesday, Revella will be in the
box for the Colts, sod unless the vet
eran has an off day. the Shoemakers
are slated for defeat. With ItevsUs
going at his beet the Lynchburg*r*
will have a hard time winning out
even with their best twtrlsr tn the
box. All pitchers have seemed to
look alike to the locals of late, and
they may be expected to gather
enough run# to take away this last

Hamilton Weakens in the Sixth
ami Danville Clouts
Ball.
DANVILLE. VA., August 3.—The
Bugs won out over the Otoober* hare
yesterday In a greet slugging match.
Both clubs tried to see how often
and hard they could clout the sphere.
The Bugs had slightly the better of
the argument and captured tne game
by the close ecore of 7 to S.
Hamilton twirled In hi* usual great
form until the sixth, when he went
up In the air, wfelle the Bugs «C9t*4
six runs. This gave them, a lead that
the Goobers could not overcome.
The visitors made a great rally In
the ninth and sent four runi over
the pun, but this lacked one of tleing
the score. Mulllnex twirled well t/ffttl
the ninth, and his weakening at that
time nearly cost the Bugs the game.
The score.

LYNCH BCRG, VA„ August 3.—The
Shoemakers defeated Richmond again
yesterday, winning out by the score
of 4 to 4 In a hard-fought game. The
Colts started off with a rush and
scored two runs In the first inning
on Lloyd's wildness. Griffin relieved
Lloyd, and twirled In good form, hold
ing the visitors to two runs for the
rest of the game.
Salve showed good form, but re
ceived ragged support, errors being
directly responsible for three of the
runs scored against him Dobson
threw the ball away in the second
Inning, allowing two of the Iota's to
cross the pan, and another run cam."
across when Shaw made a mess of
Levy'* drive. But for these errors,
the Colts would have won easily.
Levy was the particular star for the
Shoemakers, htg hitting and fielding
being the feature of the game. His
one-hand catch of Dobson’s long drive
In the fourth saved the game, ns the
drive would have been good for the
circuit, and there was already a man
on the bags The score:
Lynchburg.

not only took both game* of a double
header from the Champa yesterday,
but blanked the visitor* In both
games. The first game ended by the

enthusiasm is being displayed than |
has been shown here this season.
Ryan had the high sign on the |
Champs In the first game and held
them to three scattered hits. Costly
errors by the Tigers helped the Tars '
along, and they had an easy time
winning out. They found Cefalu for j
nine safe hits, two of them for extra I
ba ses.
In the second game Vance held the
champs completely at his mercy and
let them down with three hits. He
did not pass & man and struck out
eight of the visitors.
The Tars found Short an easy pro
position, and he was relieved by An

supporting himself .with a oane,
Chase was In better condition,, but
both were In a highly nervous state,
and, of course, unable to play yes

game to-day, playing only a fair
game.
Vaughn said that It was a most
lucky escape. The express train en
gineer got a glimpse of the flagman
and managed to slow down. Had he

passenger train would have been de
railed and many injured.

WASHINGTON, D. C . Aug. 3—John
Barrett, director of the bureau of
American republics, has almost "put
one across" on the doctors. Because
o£ his "tropical liver,' acquired dur
ing his diplomatic experience In va
rious countries. Director Barrett had
to forego a trip to Buenos Ayres to
attend the P«n-American conference.
U nder doctors' ordere he remained at
home to prepare for the surgical oper
ation which he was to undergo In Eng
land to have the objectionable portion
; of his liver cut away. The doctors :
j prescribed a diet and put him through I
| a preliminary course of stunts to pre- j
1 pare the liver for the ordeal, so that
1 there would be no trouble.
Barrett submitted without reserve. ;
Ho ate what he was directed to eat J
and didn’t eat what he was instructed
to let alone. Every little while the
doctors tamped him to see that there |
was no flare back. To the amasement .
of the physicians the recalcitrant liver,
Instead ripening for the operation, be
gan to shrink, and It looks as If the
lamp would fade away altogether. The
doctors are dreadfully disappointed but
Director Barrett Is happy.

In* to-day. The officials of the t

nearly half a million dollars hidden
away for use when he comes out of

Wider at present Is under Indict*

Through his attorney he has offered
to plead guilty to this charge and ac-...

The district attorney’s office has l
