The team that represents Allentown IN
the Atlantic League went down DeiotS
The remnant chasing Cheruos again yes
,.rday afternoon before a crowd OF about
go enthusiasts.
THE visitors lacked their usual sparkle
and their spirits were shy of the cffenes-
cence that goes toward making Sood
contest and therefore. the game did not
nan out TO the expectation OF the cranks
who had in anticipation a red-hot con-
to:L (. a. 49,.
Numerous errors and dumb plays were
executed by the visitors, not because
they are unable 70 play better but be
cause they appeared to be conscious or
the f-ci that they could not defeat the
Cherries and therefore took for granted
that II would be useless 10 make any
great effort 20 try 10 win.
Kecncr the twirler. was perhaps tne
only man on the team that kept cool
and steady and didn't allow small things
10 worry him and If his support had been
as great as was that OF Schmidt the hG-
nres i'm the hit columns would have been
very different.
The fact Is that Keener's delivery was
very good and Schmidt's rather indiHer-
ent. at least for a portion OF the game
brt Schmidt's hackers cut down hit after,
Hit. while Keener's allowed them TO go
az that
Schmidt shows a want OF work. This
was evident as the game progressed and
his delivery became more certain.
The game as a whole was not on Of the
best ever played here. so far as the visi-
4, s were concerned. The locals, how
Q, sr. put up frst-class ball. and played
a. errorless game. and they won lots OF
al lsuse.
Previous to the regular game a three
inning contest was had with Miss Lizzie
arlington female pitcher" in the
OK FOR Richmond. This novelty was the
ain cause OF so large an attendance
Of the game.
Uss Arinton is in no sense Of the
,rd. a ball player. She is simply a
,1nan with plenty OF nerve to stand
u before an audience and make a
-, key Of herself by going through the
'o.ion of a ball player for a stipulated
IT.
nc could catch q ball n It came square
81, Ia her HANDS. she could make few
,.ions I'm immitation of a pitcher, she
10 run fairly fast for a woman. and
J., could mt a slow ball. just like any
.ar woman could play croQuet, but
q vas all.
- e payers treated her as they would
-, 80. they were afraid 10 throw swift
IA 10 her. for fear IL might hurt her
1a' as. and the opposing pitcher was
AFRAID TO pitch with any degree or swift
;ess Cor fear he might hit her with the
b7H
10 runs were made by either Side in
the three innings. simply because no spe-
ciaI efforts were made 10 make them,
n.d Miss Arlington hunted the ball, but
vas put out at first. declining 10 accept
a chance TO get there safely by sliding.
The Richmond management would do
well 10 drop this manner of advertising
the game I'D dra~.nS .rowds. 1t will
tene o. bring the game Itself into disre-
spGi..
In the first inning yesterday Klopf
