ROANOKE. VA, May H.-(SpeciaL)-
Roanoke played like a sea OF school-boys
to-day, and, as a consequence, Richmond
had no trouble in winning the game.
The Bluebirds also hit the ball hard and
often, but Gaffney had all the heart
taken out of him by his poor support.
Early in the contest Umpire Daily also
had day of, and gave Roanoke the
worst OF II on several decisions.
Whether or not the presence of Sec
rotary woodall In the grandstand had
any effect on his work. It is impossible
10 say, but he showed more Partially
against the home team than he has in all
the games heretofore umpired by him.
Another stumbling block in the way OF
Roanoke's success was Pitcher Flynn.
He was master Of the situation at all
stages Of the contest. He also received
good support. and at no time were the
Maglcians really dangerous. The home
team lost a chance to score In the first
inning by stupid base-running.
After Sherer had been retired on a long
fly to Groves, Stahl drove a hot one TO
right. Tannehil stopped the force OF
the Ddil WIN iin Dlk UllAAf bAl hANHUfA
IL, after getting II squarey in his hands.
Padden's single placed stahl on third,
and he tried to score minute later.
when Foster threw TO second TO catch
Padden. Houseman was playing well up
in the diamond, and easily got the ball
to the plate ahead Of the runner.
DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Richmond got down to business in their
half Of the first Kahn was given his
base on balls but was caught off first
by Gaffney. The big pitcher was in a
generous mood, however and sent Groves
to first. He stole second, and scored on
Tannehilrs double down the first-base
line which Crockett apparently made
no effort to get. Viox threw wild In try
ing to catch Tannehill of second, and the
latter started for third. .Cavanaugh made
bad throw TO Breen, and Tannehill
scored.
The Bluebirds added three more runs
in the third on errors by Crockett, Brad
ley. and Padden, and singles by House
man and Foster. In the fifth they got the
hang Of Gaffney's delivery and brought
their total up to ten. Crockett started the
fireworks by letting Tannehills slow
grounder get away from him. Houseman
and Wells followed with doubles; Foster
was given his base on balls and Berte
drove the sphere over the fence for
home run.
REPEATED THE PERFORMANCE.
In the sixth. after Wells had been sent
TO first on balls, Foster repeated Berte's
performance. Richmond's last run was
made in the seventh ON Berte's single,
stolen base, and Breen's error. Roam
oke scored In the second. Berte dropped
Cayanaugh's hy. and the latter stole
second. lie took third on Vlox's single
TO right: Tannehill funbled the ball, and
CaVanaugh scored. Their second run was
made In the fifth, when Breen led off
with single, took second on wild pitch;
third on passed ball, and scored on Sher-
er's out. In the sixth Flynn was touched
up for two singles and double. Padden
started the inning by striking out; Brad
ley hit safely; Cavanaugh followed with
a single, and Bradley reached third safely.
but DAILY called him out. Cavanaugh
scored on Viox's double. Score:
