ought to make a credtabe showing in
the Atlantic Laspe Pts third-baseman,
Eiberfeld. is shiftly in covering terri
tory. and shoots the ball across the
diamond with the speed of bullet. He
should, however, reserve his burly biceps
for the regular season Bertc, who Is
on the second sack, can consume
wide stretch of land and made a really
sensational running-catch Of line-oall
from Abbey in the sixth. Stimmel who
twirled for the Richmonds, depended
chiefly on his speed. and pitched a game
that would have won in an ordinary
Atlantic League contest.
HE held the Senators down TO eight
hits, and with fair support at the bat,
his game would have shown up better
i'm the matter of runs for the visitors.
