wero never in better trim, and the South
Side bows took on new life and made
things quito interesting. They were not
able. however. to overcome the loss sus-
tanned By their bad opening.
ALL NINE AT TIE BAT.
The Forest Hills chose the field and the
contest opened with Peniek" shelton at
the bat. He made u safe hit and stole
around to third later on. Enright got 10
frat on balls and Luuisden famed the air.
Now ii was that the youngsters became
nervous. In fAct. thew were completely
ratified. OHara, after making two other
errors, made a very wildthrow to "homen
aud Quarles in his haste TO get the ball
down TO second, after receiving 1t from
Luck. threw It away over the baseman's
head and down into centre field. All nine
men were at the bat inthis round and five
of them scored. The only other run scored
by this side was made in the fifth inning
when Enright, who got his base on balls,
was helped along by q passed ball and
wild pitch.
The Forest Hills worked hard, but up 20
tho seventh inning they were unable TO
get man farther than first. and only two
reached that point. At this stage of the
struggle the tide begun 10 turn in favor of
the men from across the James. Bradley
and Reynolds had been retired. when Hat
tort picked up the ash and gave the horse
hide a solid whack. He stole TO second
and scored on a safe hit by Luck. They
made two moro in the next round, and
thus ended the run-making.
SOME OF TIE FEATURES.
Enright and Quarles both pitched in
good FORM The latter was o little wild,
and the Richmond boys, having played so
much with HIM, were somewhat familiar
with his methods. He made the record
though Of eleven strike-outs. The Peters
burg twlrler made several very timely
assists. Kahn worked hard OF short, but
as he had to practically cover
second for Hatorf' who PLAYED
his position was a trying one. Bradley
made three fine catches IN left field, and in
capturing one OF the balls he turned O
somersault and hurt his head quite badly.
He soon revived though, and gong to the
bat made O clean hit. Two of the most
brilliant PLAYS Of the evening were tho
catch Of Harrison down in centre field.
when he threw the ball into Fosters hands
at the plate, cutting OF runner, and the
stopping by Tim West of hot ball from
Bradley's bat. which he quickly fielded to
first. Lipscomb made beautiful running
catch.
