PITCHERS BATTLE.
The second game was by far the most
scientinc of the two. ana some very cIeFeT
plays We're made during t ms GO So" t,sj-
tors, and Blankenship. the well-knoWh
prince Of Leisure" demonstrated 10 the
people that he knew thing or two about
a sort OF Hindoo puzzle for the visitors.
Richmond failed to score IN the first five
Innings. during which time Napier got in
a single and Kahn made a eIean-cut
double They were both left on bases.
The Mushrooms scored IN the hrst by
means OF Napiers error. and also IN the
second on Nevins' single, assisted py an
error on the part. of Biankenship. In the
third. fourth, and NTH the visitors went
out In one, two. three order. and the fun
didn't begin until the sixth. when Rich-
mond secured three runs, while the VISIT
or added two to their record. II hap
pened this way: Kahn got IN single. He
went TO third on Tate's warm double 10
centre. and scored on VESTS single, Wnlch
also sent Tate across the plate Morgan
bewildered Nevlns by beautifui two
baCger. sending In west, who had reached
second on a fielders choice. This ended
the runs for the Legislators in the IN
ming.

single. went TO third on McHoverter

seventh nothing of a startling character
was done. In the eighth Richmond got IN
two runs through hits by Morgan anu
Napier assisted by errors on the part OF
Goodman and McGinnis, while a singie
each by Crockett and Nevins. and a niue
misunderstanding on the part OF the
Bloody Shirts" gave the visitors run

In the ninth the Legislators hammered
Nevins for four clean hits. while tnt
visitors got in three on Blankenship, Out

lowed by Morgan. who took advantage
OF Frech's ignorance at this point While

the same reason went to third on
Grim's single, and scored on Goodmans
error, which self-same piece of work
permitted Grim TO score. Blankenship re-
tired the side by striking out
