HOOP ACCEPTS CHALLENGE OF KENNEY'S TEAM

Cushlng, as; Kearas, Thomas and Timme, p. The Richmond baseball club opens the season tomorrow at Athletic park with as strong a line-up on paper as the fans could want. The regular Sunday attendance will no doubt be swelled because of the fact that the many friends and followers of Carl Roop will be out to whoop things up for the local boy, who Is getting his first chance as a leaguer. Roop has taken as a challenge those cruel words of Manager Dick Kenney of the local club, "I hate to see a Richmond boy not make good, but we simply have to have that game, and Roop will surely face some club swingers when he begins betiding them over the platter." Roop has been going good In his work-outs with Holmes' team, and is coming fully prepared to shoot them over in a bewildering manner for the local swatsmtths to look over. His work will be closely watched by the fans, as all consider him the best twirler in the city, and they want to see him make good. Kenney Starts Thomas. Kenney has Thomas booked as the twjrler to open the season for the locals, and expects the former leaguer to dish them up In unhittabie style. Another boy who wdll be given the once over by the fans is Beebe, centerfielder. His work will be closely compared with that last year's ceoternejder, Merkle. Dick believes that Beebe will hit better than Merkle ever did. and be knows that he can field his position just as well. The time of the game has been de

layed a half hour, and will start at 3 o'clock instead of 2:30 o'clock as previously announced. Harry Stupp, who was with Richmond two years, and who graduated into league circles last year, playing under Holmes, may find it convenient to be on hand and play the short field for the visitors. Stupp has been going at a lively clop for the Sags, and he is assured of the glad hand la case he shows up for the battleRoy Peck will do the "Ladies and gentlemen 'Batteries for today," etc.
