P To such baseball enthusiasts as 0 b H. Richardson. M. F. McKoel, W H h 1. Whitley. C. T. Leach. C. F. Bland c and Charles Flynn the people of this city will ever be indebted. Captain P Leach and CapUtn Whitley of the n rival teams were there from begin nlng to end with. the goods. They did not say much?so far as the out- d aider waa Sheer ned.
