BOYD TWIRLED A NICE GAME FOR RICHMOND BUT IN THE START" HIS SUPPORT WAS A LITTLE OFF COLOR. Royals 6; Richmond 4. Not until the twelfth Inning "was the visiting Cincinnati aggregation, known as the Royals, able to bag yesterday's game from the locals at Athletic park. The game,, was the "best of the season and thoroughly enjoyed by a good crowd of fans. Boyd's pitching was the distinct feature of the - game but his support was poor ' at timet and accounts for the visitors score. . :".T Ma. the early stages of the game the play on tthe par- of the locals was loose, especially so in the infield. However after, three runs had been scored by the. visitors, the locals tightened up and good ball was played during the rest of the game. The locals scored twice in the third and fourth Innings . respectively. The visitors scores came, in the third, fourth and seventh innings,' when one, two and one runs, respectively, 5 were . scored. According to the summary, the locals were outhlt io to 8. but Boyd kept the hits made off him scattered, the six errors by the locals assisting Cincinnati more than the hits. The Royals erred twice. The jame teams meet this afternoon, at which time the locals expect to redeem themselves. Score Sunday: R. H. E.

BATTLING NELSON STILL CHAMP Great Dane Fighter Shows That He Is Still King Of His Class. HYLAND STRIKES COLORS LAD TOUTED TO BE AS STRONG AS GIBRALTAR JUST FOLDED UP LIKE AN ACCORDION IN SCRAP, SATURDAY. (By Tad.) New York, May 31. Battling Nelson, champion of the world. Not changed a bit. Isn't even mussed any; no nicks in it. Still there. Dick Hyland, the whalebone lad who was touted to be as strong as Gibraltar, as rough as the seas and a bear for punishment, folded up like an accordion and was carried out of the ring Saturday a sadder and a wiser lad. He was the boy who was to trim the Dane. They said the author was a has-been. They said that if it took him twenty rounds to best poor old Joe Gans, Hyland would get Bat's number in half that time. Was a Good Mill. Hyland did pretty well, at that. He fought the Dane, toe to toe. for twenty rounds and during that time a pil lowslip might have covered both, without even a hand being stuck out. It was one of those gruelling body blow fights, with punches landing as fast as a gatling gun could turn out pellets. They were wondering whether the Dane is still as good as he was. No one can answer that.. He always did look like a sucker, but he always did cop. He never was a quick finisher, The Hyland fight, going twenty-three rounds, is about the usual route for Nelson. All of his big fights have been about that distance. TO STATE MEETING An invitation has been accepted by the Wayne Aerie of Eagles to send its degree team to the state convention at Albany, June S-ll. and give an exhi bition of .the new lodge work and exhi bition drills.

The storm prostrated telephone and telegraph wires, and news of the calamity did not reach here until a section-hand pumped a handcar to Brownwood and spread the alarm. . A. relief party was organized immediately and made the trip to see physicians on the handcar. When the men reached Zephyr they saw a scene of desolation. The hillsides were covered with debris of all kinds, intermingled with bodies cf human beings and of animals. The ruins were dimly lighted by burning buildings. 50 Houses Destroyed. Nearly fifty houses were demolished. A three-story stone school building and two churches were razed. Lightning struck a lumber yard and started a fire which destroyed an entire business block. No effort was made to fight the fire, as the care of the dead and wounded demanded all attention. Many of the houses and stores were built of stones, but they were demolished as if made of shingles. Hundreds in the country around Zephyr saved themselves by taking refuge in storm cellars. Most of the Inhabitants were in bed when the storm swept by and falling timbers crushed them to death.

THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. All WeekHigh Clas Vaudeville. GENNETT THEATRE. June 1 and 2 Opera, "PrisclHe." The New Phillips. . The towns that the Creation of Purpura has visited previous to its coming here are all talking about the production in the lctadest terms. And it is no wonder as the show is one of the most fascinating on the vaudeville stage at the present time. Magic, mysticism,romance, fantasy, poesy, mythology, science, history and art are all combined in one to make this production worthy of effort and the combination Is far reaching and successful. It is the main bill at the New Phillips these three days. , The Semen Duo can rightfully look down on ethers of their kind. But they don't f do - it. They are modest, extreme aooand they have a line of musical comedy. that is as natural and inspiring as the Lorelei. Gus and Marion Kohl are novelty jugglers and they do not fall below the good standard of the New Phillips. At the Arcade. As usual the Arcade has an appropriate picture for a holiday "A Wartime Sweetheart" is essentially a Decoration Day film. Incidentally it has the meet thrilling and realistic battle scene yet shown in Richmond's picture theaters. The attack on the rebel fort by the tJnion cavalry Is a tremendous piece of acting, using hundreds of men and horses. Every detail is worked out and the spectator sits spellbound at the plunging horses and running men. The G. A. R. veterans are to be guests of honor at the Arcade Decoration Day afternoon. Do not miss the best yet.
