than he. though neither twirled excep-
tlonally well.
OUT IN QUICK ORDER
Neither side scored in the first inning,
and only three men for each team went
to the bat. In the second Richmond was
again shut out, but not so with Lynch
burg. A storm had been brewing. ana II
broke with great violence In this round.
The first two men-McKenna and Smith
who came to the bat were promptly re-
tired and the sidd should nave been-but
IL wasn't Gray found the ball for the
first hit OF the game. and he reached
first. Then Leahy followed suit. and Kan
fumbed the ball, thus placing Leahy on
second and Gray on third.
This was bad enough but worse was
10 follow Plock welded the ash next
and lined out a hit to Kahn, ana that
worthy fumbled H. Gray and Leahy botn
scored on this play, and Flock went TO
second, from which he soon trotted 10
third on wild pitch made by Behne.
The side was then retired, but the bao
work had commenced, and the Richmond
rooters were sad.
The third inning resulted in shutont
for both teams, and the score remained
UNCHANGED. but I'm the fourth the cranhs
were given a chance 10 yell ntte.
Tannehill, the first man UP, was given
his base on balls. He stole second, and,
on an error made by McIntyer, who let
thrown ball go past him, fanny got
to third He tarr1ed there but short
time, when Houseman lined out safe
hit and brought him over the plate
Then Wells handled the stick. He hit to
Orth and was permitted To go 10 hrst
while Houseman was caught at second
and retired. Foster then made a hit
and sent Jake 20 third. Some little de-
lay occurred here. and Foster stole Sc
cond. Then MCGOWAN knocked high
fly to Smith. That worthy dropped H.
and "Mc." went to first. The bases were
full. and ii was time somebody was do
ing something Berte was the next man
up, and he did the something necessary.
All of the infeders were playing up and
around the pitcher, expecting a slow
hit but Berte fooled them. He lifted the
sphere just high enough to pass over their
heads and IL dropped behind second
base. and Wells and Foster scored, while
MCGOWAN went to third. This put Rich
mOnd m the lead, and the rooters went
wild. Hats were thrown into the air
and the air was filled with shouts. The
bases were again filled, but nobody scored.
GAVE THEM COLD CHILLS.
The Lynchburgs were again shut out,
and so was Richmond. but in the fifth
the Tobacconists caused a cold chill TO run
along the spinal column of every mothers
son and daughter Of the 1000 or more
cranks who witnessed their playing. They
heaIed up four runs. and every one OF
them was due to grievous errors made
by the locals. Leahy was first up, and
went down about as quickly as he came
up. Flock followed him. and hit to
MCGOWAN. There was ample opportunity
for him to field IT, but he fumbled. and
Flock got his base. Orth sent him to
second on a hit. and then more errors
followed. Ferguson hit a fly directly into
Grovess hands, but Il went through
them, and Ferguson got his base. Then
Groves recovered himself and threw IL
TO 'hlrd in time to head off Plock. who
was coursing on from second. MCGOWAN
seemed unable to handle the ball. and
he let that go by him, thus placing an
other error to his dis credit. and per-
hitting Plock to score and Orth 10 get
10 third. McIntyer gave Groves a chance
TO redeem himself by sending another
fly out TO him. Turkey" held this one
but although he threw IT In as rapidly as
possible he was unable to head Orth off.
and he also scored. while Ferguson went
TO second.
Berryhill then lined out a two-bagger.
scoring Ferguson, and he himself scored
by McKenna. This ended the scoring, 70,
Smith flew out to Groves, and the fifth
and eventful inning was a thing of the
past.
TANNEHILL GETS HURT.
In this inning. however. Richmond had
sustained a severe blow. Tannehill, one
Of the cleverest players on the team, was
injured, and Gibson had 10 be substituted
in right field for him Tame" had got
ten to first on a hit and was playing of
the base when Orth. thinking to catch
him, threw 10 Plock. Tame" rushed
back TO the bag and slid half way there.
In this slide lay his misfortune. His
right shoulder came in violent contact
with Plock's leg, and the shoulder was
dislocated. He was taken out OF the
game and Drs. Qppenhimer and Hentzel
rendered him medical attention. He will
be unable to play again for some time.
In the sixth neither side scored. but
In the seventh the Richmonds tied the
score, raising the hopes of the rooters
only TO be again dashed down. Kahn led
of with a single and stole second, Groves
followed with a hit, advancing Kahn 10
third. Groves then stole second, and Glib
son flew out 10 Smith. On this Kahn
scored and Groves went TO third. 1t only
remained for Houseman TO line out a two
Dagger and bring Groves in, and for Eos
ter TO perform a Ike feat and bring
Houseman in. to tie the score, and then
the roofing commenced. 1t was beautiful,
IL was joyous, and not one Of the thou
sands present but that was sanguine OF
a victory for Richmond. Notwithstanding
all of the bad playing that had preceded
this work all was forgiven. The side was
promptly retired with no more runs
made. but what mattered that then?
Richmond was up with Lynchburg, and
everybody knew, or thought they knew,
that the game would be won by Rich
mond.
BUT THEY DIDN'T WIN.
Twas not so TO be. however, and
everybody soon found that out for when
the Lynchburgs came TO the bat they
went 10 work with a will. and what they
did was an abundance. Ferguson was FIRST
at he bat and made hit. McIntyer sac
rifced 10 MCGOWAN. advancing Ferguson
TO second. Berryhill then got his base
and stole second. while Ferguson stole
third. and McKenna, by a good line hit.
brought them both in. This practically
ended the game
Lynchburg made another run I'm the
next inning. but why tell Of that? The
Richmonds were unable to score again.
and consequently were beaten.
The score viii tell all that remains.
