Richmond and Hartford concluded their
series here yesterday and, though Rich
mond In the first part of the game seem
ed TO have cinched a victory, Hartford
came In In the sixth and seventh innings
and took II away from her, carrying of
all the laurels
The game while not so well played as
the two preceding contests. was, for All
that. fought with much interest to the
5000 cranks who were present, and fur
nishcd them about as many sensations
as could well be gathered from one game
of ball. The players had their hearts
In the game, and the rooters were with
them. FOR a time smiles wresthed the
faces OF all In the grandstand, for Rich
mond was ahead. and visions OF three
ytraights fioated before the eyes OF all
the rooters.
DIssIPATED THE SMIES.
Hartford's work I'm the sixth. when four
hits were made by them In rapid success
sion. dissipated these smiles. but stu the
rooters did not despair They knew that
the Johnnies would win II there was any
possibility Of their doing so, and hence
they began to root with view TO spur
ring them EDWARDS. Wells and his boys
made the squirt required of them, but
the Connecticut lids spurted. too and the
result was that they closed the race
winner by two runs.
Richmond had Chesbro in the box, and
Fry tossed for Hartford. Fry proved
more OF mystery than he had done on
Thursday, and the southern lads couldn't
find him for as many hits as they had
previously done. Chesbro, on the other
hand, was not so effective as is his wont,
and being hit ten times. he lost his game,
something ne is not accustomed TO doing.
STARTED LIKE A WHIRLWIND.
Richmond started off like whirlwlnd
In the very frst inning the Johnnies be-
gan TO get In their work. and II was dol
lars TO doughnuts that they would win.
After two men were out Foster lined
out a Nit. and went 10 third on a rank
error. Elsey then got safe on an error
OF vickery's. and Reddy scored. Stuart
was the next man up and, with neat
home-run drive. he scored both Elsey and
himself.
Hartford got into the push In the Sc
cond inning, and Gastright. making
double which was followed by a single.
driven by poherty, and another lined out
by Vickery, two runs were scored. the
last one being assisted In by an error
made by Stuart. For long time the
score remained 3 10 2 In Richmond's
favor. and II looked very much as II II
would stay that way until the close OF
the game.
DISAPPOINTMENT CAME.
The sixth rolled around. though. and
with II came disappointment for the
rootcrs. Two runs were scored on clean
hits before the gang realized that II was
possible for such thing 10 he done. and
the game was won by Hartford.
Richmond's heroes not not give up.
