Came called at 4:30 o'clock.
By T. D. BONNEVILLE.
The Colts go to fVtorelnirg Monday
ttif first game of their series with the
Goobers. The Petersburg efub is go
ing strong nor.' and It Is expected that
the series will bo particularly Inter
esting.
The Colts leave op the 1 o'clock car
for the home of the Goobers and the
game will begin at 4:30 o’clock. Mor
rissey has returned utter a visit to his
wife, who Is til In another city, and
will bo on ihe mound tor the Colts
Cowan will be at the receiving end.
It is expected that a large'number
of Richmond fans will go over to sec
the first game and there will doubtless
be a number present at every game of
the. series- The road co Petersburg is
now in good condition and many will
go over In machines.
Dr. Matthews, the club physician,
■would not give his consent for Baker
to get ift the present series in Peters
burg. The physician declares that his
patient is yet too weak to undertake
to play and th$l to do so might result
seriously.
He states, however, toat the little
shortstop will !" able to get in Thurs
day’s game here and that he will be
none the worse for his severe attack
of appendicitis in Lynchburg Wed
nesday night. Baker is feeling well
now, hut is sill! sore and weak. He
Bays thut he will be glad to get hack
iu the game again.
Considerable dissatisfaction prevails
locally »*\ e r the second same played
on Saturday. It is claimed that It was
too dark to play baseball after the sev
enth inniUK and that Umpire Wester
velt should have called the game.
It is certain that had it not been so
dark the Bugs would not have scored
a run in the inning When Murray
drove the ball at Ezekiel the youngster
could not see it until it was upon him
and the best he could do was to block
it, allowing the runner to land sate at
first when he would have been an
easy out. This would have left the
score a tie, as Titman could easily
have captured Sullivan's drive could
he hate seen the ball. When the hat
cracked the right fielder could not see
the ball for the top of the grandstand
l)i the background. He was thus un
able to Judge It and hud no chance to
make a catch. This would have made
the third out and left Grillin on second
Ued.
_ It Is claimed that Umpire Wester
velt was angry on account of hav
ing to work tne last game Both the
arbiter and Griffin asked that the sec
ond game he called off. but the local
management could not agree to send
the people home when they had paid
to see a double-header They insisted
thai the game be played.
Those interested In the Colts claim
- that—Hie— arbiter- contiTTtred—ttic"game
until the end when he knew that it
should have been called In the sixth
or seventh.
No blame attached to Ezekiel for
the loss of the second game, though It
was his failure to handle Murray's
drive that gave the Bugs the run.
The best of players make errors and
anyone might ha' e done so in Eze
kicl's place. Yet It was so dark that
the youngster could not see the ball
In time to make a play and he is
entirely exonerated 01 blame. Man
ager Gawlor stated Monday that he
bad no fault to find with Ezekiel and
that he could not be blamed lor the
error.
l.awlor is well pleased with the
work of the local boy and he will con
tinue In the position until the return
uf Baker. Ezekiel will leave with the
squad lor Petersburg Monday.
Manager Lawlor has not yet been
able to get In the coaching box to
direct the play of lho Colts but hopes
to do so soon. The trouble is that
the manager has no uniform to wear
•luce they are all In use.
As soon as Baker gets back In the
game and some of the surplus players
are disposed of he will don one of the
•pare uniforms and take up the
active work of coaching from the box
as does Steve Griffin and the other
managers of the clubs.
Sullivan's capture of Verbout's
drive In the twelfth inning of the first
game was one of the greatest plays
• ver seen on the local diamond, prob
ably the greatest. It is the famous
play of Ty Cobb and there are few
outfielders who can turn the trick with
success.
Sullivan could not reach the bill
dr the run and dived headlong with
his hand outstretched in the grass,
luckily the ball fell directly In the
glove. The play cut off the run as
Kickert was not backing Sullivah up
and with the center fielding lying on
the ground Verbout could have made
the circuit before the ball could be
fielded.
A fortunate occurrence saved the
Colts from defeat in the twelfth.
Sullivan was on first' and Oaston’t
•harp single hit him on the foot as
lie was going to second. He could
have mads third easily and would
bare scored on Schrader's singls that
Johnny Verbout has recovered from
his recent Indisposition and his twirl
ing Saturday was of a class that will
win a game every time with good
support. The Colts gave great sup
port, only two errors being charged
against them. One of these was s
muffed foul by Bunting that pro
longed Schrader's time at bat, after
which he got a single. The other
was made by Eseklel who made- a
bad peg to first.'
The visitors had only one error and
this had something to do with the
result. Murray made a bad peg to
first following Tltman’s third strike
in ths thirteenth. Shaw went to third
and scored on Bunting's single a mo
ment later.

A heart-breaking iinish gave the
Hugs the second game of Saturday’s
| double-headed after the Colts had
captured the first in one of the most
brilliant contests ever seen on the
local diamond.
Johnny Verbout and Hartley. Dan
ville's new twlrler. were opposed in
■ the first gam* and seemed about evcn
j !y matched, Hartley held »he Colt* to
fto hits In the first eleven innings
and one more tame in the twelfth
In the thirteenth he weakened and
two singles, with a passed ball, gave
the game to the locals.
Hevelle and Mayberry were op
posed in the second, and it looked "ke
the Colts had th" \ Isltors at their
mercy. A sensational rally- in the
ninth, however, gave the Hugs three
runs, and these were more than
I enough to count for victory.
First Lame.
The first game went thirteen in
: nings and was one of the greutest
pitcher’s battles ever witnessed here.
, Time and again runs wen cut off
sensational fielding and both pitchers
seemed to be aide to tighten up in
j the pinch* and hold runners on base.
Free passes and hits were so si-arce
j that runners seldom got on base.
I Only one Colt was left on base in the
i first twelve innings and only six Hugs
were left in the entire game.
Probably- the greatest play ever seen
in Richmond was pulled off by Sul
livan, when he dove headlong in pur
suit of Verbout * drive in the twelfth
and captured it in one hand while he
was sliding along the ground. Burke
followed with a single, and this catch
saved the game for the Hugs in that
i inning.
Dobson saved the day for Richmond
when he slid into first, retiring <3ai
ton. while Rlckert was scoring from
second. It was the third out.
In the thirteenth Shaw singled to
left and went to second on a passed
hall. Wallace flew out to Rickert,
but Titman reached first on a missed
third strike when Murray threw wild.
Shaw going to third. Hunting fini-ot
ed the game with a single to right.
scoring Shaw
| With high-class support. Revelle
seemed stated to defeat the Hugs In
the second game. but with darkness
enveloping the Held, the visitors had
a stroke of good luck and won out
In the ninth with a good margin.
After having a man left on third In
the first Inning, the Colts got one
a cross In the fifth. Dobson drew a
pass and Ezekiel sacrificed him to
second. M»»sltt scored him with a
double and Revelle singled, sending
Messitt to third Two more batters
f*>uld not advance the runners. After
thlA Mayberry was tight and allowed
only one more hit.
Fast fielding cut off all the chances
of the Hugs In the early inninga
Rlckert tried to come In on a squeeze
play In the fourth, but Revelle out
guessed him and wasted the ball. He
vvaa an easy out ut the plate. Priest
got too anxious In the sixth and was
caught off third just before Mayberry
' got the hit that would have brought
! him home.
In the ninth Murray got a life when
Kzeklel fumbled his easy chance.
Mayberry sacrificed him to second and
Rlckert fouled out. It looked as if
the chances of the visitors had gone
glimmering. Revelle got two strikes
on Qriffln. and the Danville manager
then placed a long drive to left, scor
ing Murray and tielng the score. They
did not stop here, however, for Sul
i livan followed with a triple to right
' and came home when Shaw made a
i bad relay of the ball in an effort to
; catch him at third. The scores:

MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR BIG AIRSHIP MEET
BOSTON. MASS. August 8—Work
started here to-day on buildings to be
used at the big airship meet Septem
ber 3 to 13. A monster stand, capa
ble of seating 15.000 people, is to be
erected at once on the Harvard avia
tion field, where it is now planned
to hold the event, rather than at the
Harvard stadium, where the space was
too small for the score of fliers who
will compete.
For the principal event of the 660,
000 meet, the fly to Boston light and
return, it has now been decided that
a triangular course will be taken. This
will be from the aviation field hr the
Harvard stadium, thence across the
city to Boston light and back over the

NAVY QUARTERBACKS
SEEM ONfORTONATE
All Men Who Have Position of
Late Are Victims of Sickness
or Accidents.
ANNAPOLIS. MD„ August 8 —The
remarkable series of misfortunes to
the occupants of the position of quar
terback on the Naval Academy foot
bell team last season. Including the
fatal accident to Midshipman Earl D.
Wilson, Is being maintained this year,
and already two of the leading can
didates have been affected. Midship
man Sherman M. Nason, who would
undoubtedly have been the first
choice, was drowned on June 28 while
endeavoring to save the life of a
young woman.
News has also been received in An
napolis that Midshipman It E. Byrd,
who played the position a large part
of last season, and who is with the
other midshipmen on the cruise to
foreign waters, has typhoid fever.
Though he is convalescing, it is doubt
ful whether he can play during the
coming
The first bit of bad look connected
with the position last tear was when
Nason, who was an experienced and
brilliant player, hurt his knee severe
ly, and was succeeded by Carl D. Hib
bard. In a few weeks Hibbard failed
in an examination, and was compelled
to resign. Byrd was then given a
trial, and soon met with an Incapaci
tating accident. Wilson was .iutt get
ting Into fine form, when he received
the fractured neck, which ultimately
caused his death.
Midshipman Vincent P. Erwin play,
ed most of the remaining games, but
Nason would have played against the
West Point team if that game had
not been canceled on account of Cadet
Byrne's death.
Erwin w-ill probably have the first
call for the place, but a number of
other men will be broken In us
promptly as possible, and it is hoped
that a good man will be de\eloped.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF ENGLISH AVIATOR
Darts to Earth When Machine
Catches Afire High in the
Air. C
BLACKPOOL, EN'G., August 8.—A.
V. Roes, » newcomer in the Held of
English aviation, is nothing daunted
to-day after his thrilling experience
on the local aviation field last evening,
when his tri-plane, a machine of hie
own design, caught fire while he was
Hying at a great height. Roes pointed
his machine to the earth, and at a
speed that threatened every moment
to overturn the aeroplane, he reached
the ground just before the machine
collapsed. The planes were com
pletely burned away, and had the
aviator been fifty feet higher when
the flames broke out. he would prob
ably have been dashed to death_
10 SEE BUTTLE
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. August 8.—
It Is expected that a record-breaking ;
crowd will witness Wednesday night'a’:
six-round battle between A1 Kauf-,
rnann and Sam I-angford in Philadel- ,
phia ball park. Preparatlona are be
ing made to handle between 20,00tl
and 30,OX) persons—more than the
total attendance at the Johnson-Jeff
rits tiattle rt Reno. The prelimina
ries will start at 8:30 and the big fight
win be staged by 0:30 o'clock.
Billy Delaney, who has Kaufman
in tow, will he nis i hief second. The
presence of the vetpran In his corner
ought to give Kaufman a big advan-,
tage, and one that he will need, for
Langford Is going t., try to rush him
off his feet and score a knockout In
one of the early rounds.
There is a personal feud between
the two tlghters that wyi be evident
from the start Kaufman was one of
Johnson's training partners at Reno,
and any man who sided with Johnson
is Langford s sworn foe for life.
