PRESBYTERIANS WIN
FROM THE BAPTISTS
Latter Show Too Much Confi
dence and Lose Though By
Close Score.
tSpei ial to The Richmond Virginian.)
FRKDEHK’KSHt’RO. Aug 24.—
The Sunday School League of Fted
erickiburg that has been the, subject
of an abundance of humorous criti
cism. is still tn operation and the
national game is still being \ cry re
ligiously played.
The tiaptlsts showed too much con
lido me 111 their playing ability tester
day afternoon, and before they rea
lized what had happened the Presby
terians had a big lead on them. This
lead was too much for them to over
come. and the Presbyterians won with
a score of k to 8.
The Baptists could well afford to
drop a game, f,«. now their record
shows that they he.- wo- eight and
lost only two gamej.
I With many misinformed persons
; there might rest the opinion that
these games are "no place* for Sun
day school men ' However, these
contests are held in a most friendly
manner and with a brotherly con
slderatlon for the feelings, both men
tal and physical, of all players, and
especially for the umpire.
Although there was a Rowe with
the Baptiste and a Savage with the
Preshyterl i ns. yet there was no sem
| blance of a "row" at any stage of the
game. The Barr that has done such
good work for the Baptist aggrega
i tion is only a catcher, and is not usee
to rough work at all. as his namt
might imply. Farmer, also with thi
Baptists, showed that he had not for
gotten the sylvan scenes of his child
hood by driving a clean three-haggei
! to a clump of heavy weeds that oc
cupied one corner of the field.
The season closes about the 1st oi
September, ami all conditions indicate
thst these performances, as hereto
fore, w ill be of a strict Sunday school
character, except that they are not
held ori Sunday.

Monuments Erected.
Among other plans advanced for
laying off the grounds on the site at
the Soldiers’ Home, which will be oc
cupied by the Battle Abbey, is one to
have tt represent a Confederate battle
Hag. and Mr John Williams, clerk
of the Virginia House of Delegatee,
has now in his possession a sketch of
this Idea, prepared by a landscape gar
dener.
Th plan of Mr. Williams is to
have the Held of red planted in small
crimson clover, with the bars of dark
green, to represent the blue, while
the stars will b<‘ done in white flow
ers. Necessary walk and driveways
wilt interfere slightly with the sym
metry of the arrangement, while the
i enter will, of course, be broken by
the abbey.
Mr. Williams also plans to honor
Vice-President Stevens, of the Confed
eracy, and the eight members of the
i Confederate cabinet by erecting mon
j uments to them, to be placed about
the abbey.
To raise funds for this, It is pointed
out that each State of the Confederacy
which was represented by a member
could have their individual statues,
while all of the thirteen could appro
priate $1,000 each for that of Presi
dent Stephens. The monument ot
President Davis is not far from the
abbey site.
This is only a suggestion, but to
those to whom Mr. Williams has ex
plained the Idea It has made a splen
did Impression as a line memorial to
the "Lost Cause."
