the home boys went at him, and batted
him out of the box in three innings.
Bepting had q record OF one defeat out
Of all the games he had pitched this
season. and Lancaster thought he was
iead-sure winner against Richmond. On
this point however their calculations
were slightly off. for Richmond was not

The Johnnies had blood in their eyes,
and were determined TO be revenged on
their opponents. with that idea only in

d cautious game and took no chances.
The Iancasters worked the hit-and-run
game and Richmond tried the plan OF
sacrificing. The plan worked admirably
and Richmond won with ease.
The baseball public Of Richmond have
hitherto been violently opposed to bunting
and sacrificing, preferrine, rather, that
the team should hit the ball, whether
they biz safe or not. AS a result, the
JoAnnies were a little wary of the game,
and would frequently 90 out on what
IN baseball parlance, are termed pop

The game according to their own ideas.

game but they won the spectators over

The cfanks as TO win the games.
