Was Hit Hard anu They Punched.

So It has come to pass that the Gran
gers have taken three straight from
the Bluebirds, and they did not have to
try SO awful hard either. In fact. 1t was
more or less Of a snap, though the way
the visitors piled in their four runs in
the seventh inning yesterday made the
situation at that stage of the game a
little strained and critical.
In eight innings were the Capital
City lads BANKED with monotonous reg
ularlty by the splendid work of Brandt
in the box, and his superb and brilliant
support. In the seventh. however. Bill
Iy hit Barley Kahn. Berte flew out to
Hargrove. and Boland hit. Sheckard
made a beautiful stop of 1t, but threw
wild to home. Pat got the ball in time
to throw Kahn out at the plate, but he
didn't do 1t. Then Bailey and Sholta fol-
lowed with hits, n Reddy Foster
walked. Mars single brought in a
couple, Sholta scoring later on an out
field out.
The Birds made a desperate effort to
tie the score in the eighth and ninth.
but were foiled In their efforts by the
phenomenal work Of Sheckerd and Har-
grove, both of whom scooped up fly balls
over in the act, and stopping what
q few inches from the ground, tumbling
would otherwise have been two or three
base hits.
The home team clearly out batted
their opponents. Two hits and a double
steal by Reiman and Rollins brought in
the first run. Four hits and Berte's
wild throw TO the b%leachers resulted in
three more; Burke's three-bagger send
ing in three of them. Katz hit for three
bases, and Gochnaur for two in the
fifth and landed two more, after that
no Granger crossed the rubber.
Brandt, with the exception OF one in
ming, pitched great ball, despite the fact
that 1t was his second game in the box
In one series. Bailey was also tolerably
effective, but had the misfortune to be
hit when he least wanted to.
Gochnaur's pretty work and the field
ing Of Berte were also features, though
the latter was wild.
Jndkins umpired and gave general
satisfaction, except in one case where
Richmond thought she had a kick COM
y e 1t is a fact, however, If any one
did get q shade the worst of 1t, it was
Portsmouth. The score follows:
