Kain played neat game yesterday.

with Ave chances. all of which he availsd
himself of. he assisted In six put-outs by
making double. While Barley takes
some very long chances, he does not cover
as large "A territory as he should. Several
grounders. which went between second and
third bases yesterday, might have been
stopped by him, had he been In his proper
position.
The Richmond out-feiders had an easy

batted out TO them. Gitunger captured
two OF these. Foster one, and CIeve lost
the other one.

Few people understood why Corcofan
was put behind the bat when IL was de-
oided TO- give Tate his base rather than
lot him line 'er out. Gilman was on Sc
cond. and il was feared that wild pitch
which Hodge might not stop would let
the runner got home.
Several OF McDermott's decisions were
very close, especially that when he called
Cleve out at home, but he was honest
