Richmond's clever aggregation Of ball
players made It two out OF three yester-
day In game Of extraordinary interest.
During the first six innings it WAS with
the greatest difficulty that run could
be obtained, but after that they came
around so rapidly as to keep the rooters
in furore.
Stahl twirled for the locals, and for
six innings kept the hits we'll scattered.
After that the hits came more connect
edly, and in tho ninth he voluntarily
gave place to Lloyd Knorr pitched
eight innings for the visitors, Tame
hill supplanting him in the ninth.
Roanoke tailed in the second on
Oavanaugh's hit and stolen base, Viox's
out at first and Stahl's single. The
visitors tied in the fourth. Tannehill
leading OIL with hit. Stahl caught
MIN oil first base, but the run. out was
poorly managed and he reached second
safely. Houseman's out al first by q
remarkable stop and throw by Cavsn-
augh sent him to third, and he scored
on Wells grounder between first and
second. In the sixth Camel sent a
screamer over left center fence and the
score WAS two to one.

The MaRicinns took crack at the ball
In the eighth and tied the score. With
one man out, base on balls for Viox
and Breen's pretty bunt made matters
look hopeful. Stahl forced Breen at
second, Viox going to third. Sherer's
double and Padden's single brought in
runs enough to tie. In the visitors
half they got in run by direct gift Of
Umpire Daley. MCGOWAN reached first
on hit. Stahl played for him and
twice threw him out to the satisfsc ton

With Roanoke two runs in the lead,
Richmond came in for the last half.
Lloyd took Stahl's place in the box.
Tannehill HIT safely but was doubled up
with Houseman on the latter's hit to
Cavanaugh, and the crowd roared with
enthusiasm over the victory that seemed

to first on balls, for Foster followed
with drive to the river and the score
was tied. McGoWan hit to right field.

Berte sent fly to the same territory
which Gaffney misjudged, and Roanoke's
hopes Of victory went gllmmering.
The changes made by;Roanoke in the
ninth inning were not made from choice
but from necessity. Stahl insisted upon
being relieved, as he could not hold out
to the end. and Bradley was obliged to
withdraw by reason OF illness due to
the heat.
