Saturd»> * double victory ;>ul the Colts bark 4n third place. that is it tied them with the Tars tor that place and wMh an ccen break of lurk now they should be aide to stay there. If the Colts could finish third in the race they will have done well in con sideration of the many troubles that hate followed the club all season. It was fortunate that they were able to take the Tars Into camp tn both names Saturday, since If the ofsJtors had won both, the locals' woUiij have been almost hopelegly down th the second division. To Deacon Morrissey must go the r< edit of winning the drat game though his.syti.es were hardly needed in the second game for the reason that Salve settled down after his one bad inning and the chances are that the Tats would not hat* scored again. Salve gets credit for the victory and nothing is coming to Morrissey except such praise ax the fans ahail give him for hts excellent work. 'The Colts were ahead when Salte was taken out and hence the credit for the \ Ictory goes to the southpaw. Ed Hooper, the new shortstop se cured trom the Trenton Club, to fill natters place uld not arrive here Sat urday night a* expected and hence wa* left behind The ctnh did not leave until Sunday night but Hooper had not reached here at that time and Ezekiel was taken along to play the position. Neither Owner Bradley nor Man ager Iaovlor received »m further word front the player and they do not , know why he was delayed The last i word received war In the form of a telegram that came Saturday an nouncing that the player had left Trenton, He may arrive late Mon day afternoon and if so will be sent to Roanoke at om e to join the team. A letter received from I'harlie Maker, the shortshop, announces that he reached home safety Saturday af ternoon and that he is feeling a* well as can be expected. The little player says thai he v. >11 return here in two weeks and place himself in the Hands nt Dr. \V. t’. Mathews, the club physician, who w ill operate on him for appendicitis. The return of the batting eye of the Colt* was a welcome sight Sat urday. and it seemed that they all came back at the same tint \ Carcc, j who has seemed to be a mystery 10! the locals m other game* was rather; easy, as was Fox and Sheehan. When the Colts' outfielders -ire hit ting the team generally wins, and the outfielders hit the ball Saturday as they never did before In a double header. They secured eleven hits in the two games, and three of thete were for extra bases. Not much credit is due the Colt* for pounding Kong John Fox In the first Inning of the second game. The elongated twirlcr had his eye ,n Jured recently and the optic is in auch condition that he is not able to aee well He has not pitched a game etnee June and was not In his best fuiiii, bbT fvTTen in form He 1* no easy mark and may giv* some of hi* class; exhibitions before ihe season i* over. Clarke and Irwin di> kered for unite a while before, the deal vva* closed for the youngster Ryan, or Schaub. the pitcher who recently Joined the Tarsi Irwin asked Clarke to use the youngster Friday, and the -Nor folk manager finally consented, though he was rather afraid the Colts would make him look bad and be did not want to risk losing the deal with the Vankees' scout. When Ryan did *o well lrw.a was •till more anxious to get him and re opened negotiations Immediately fol losing in? gunif., nr orrered Clarke $700. and this was Indignantly re fused. Hit said' Weil, neter mind, the drafting wamn will be un In a few days, and i will get the young ster for I a on "Sot If 1 know my self.” returned the wily Clarke 1 "Hi suspend Uy&n and you "ill not be able to touch him The nation<1 commission ought to gel after eon * of you wise guy a in the minus leaguer,” said Irwin Hut he got down to business and askn' Ctark« to name a price. The manager ot the Tars named fl.oOO.

Clarke tried to put one over or Isnuger ijitvlor Saturday, but th< VMt' leader could not see it. Mar tin Walsh came to l-awlor and ran; that he wanted to leave the Tan and that he thought lie could pur chase his release cheaply Hr sail he would like to finish the seasor with the Colts A. few minutes later Clarke ant Watsh called lawlor into the hote parlor, and , there Walsh was offered to Richmond for gltttt.

ACCIDENT STOPS MOISSINT AGAIN Aviator Forced ro Deeend Before i i Beaching London and Machine J j i« Broken. | LONDON, Aug. 22.—Further mis j fortunes wore encountered by John B. , Moissant. the Chicago aviator, to-day i when for the second time he attempt i ed to fly from Upchurch to London _ to complete hie Parte to London flight, , which we» begun last Tuesday. Accompanied by Albert Fileux. his 3 112 pound mechanician, and a kitten 4 which bee been named ' Parls-Lon don." Moissant ascended at Upchurch at t:2k thle mernlng. In the teeth of i a forty mile gale. He flew for nearly an hour, but owing to the violence of the wind, he could not preserve hie ^ couree and finally alighted at Seven J Oaks at 5:26, tfter an "8" shaped ,, 1 flight, as far fiom London as he was i’ when he started. 4 Motssant'a descent was made at ter I. rills speed, the aeroplane alighting In !. a plowed field, after narrowing er j captng a hedge. The propeller, rud der and wire work were broken and the wheele were bulked, it waa a far more serious accident than that of alst week. Moleeant telegraphed for epalrere to come at once to fix up o ' the machine, eo that he can make an n other altmpt to-morrow. 0 Moleeant showed hlmkelf an avia n tor of wonderful skill in to-day’s ,, flight, despite hie inexperience.
