Abou, a thousand people saw the Hart
ford ball team take another game from
she Cherubs yesterday afternoon anu
that. too. without allowing the locals
eingle run. -
n was the first shut-out against the
Cberubs. and IL was bitter pill, but the
visitors had very little trouble IN admin
'stering the dose
For seven innings the locals went up In
one. two. three order and were shot down
ike so many Spanish soldiers-without
even reaching first bag.
Murphy. the Philadelphia twirler. had
enc Cheribs at his mercy. and they could
ret no more than three little dinky hits
off his delivery, and those hits were made
nv Iutenburg, SeybOld and HargroVe.
He struck out but three men, but the
locals could not connect with the sphere
In sufficient force 10 count. Besides thls'
the visitors played a fast snappy game
without an error. and with ginger all the
way through
On the other hand. Harry Schmidt was
Is bad shape and was as wild as Philip
nine Island insurgent and couldn't pitch
any better than the Spanish at Manila
ran shoot He gave seven dead head passes
20 first, and the visitors touched him up
for four hits. here were. also several
dumb plays behind him, which tended TO
throw down the crowd, with the result
that little announcement was gwen the
locals to work hard.
And this announcement not forthcom-
ing. the Cherubs declined 10 work hard,
with the exception OF Hess and Leahy,
each Of whom executed circus plays and
we're heartily apPlauded for the same.
Hess had aroused himself from his
iethargy Of the previous day and
worked hard for success. but i.Itl APP
parent unconcerned players behind him,
he was handicapped and his efforts were
fruitless.
HargTove was slow upon one occasion
and a man was allowed 10 steal second
because no one covered that bag. and
the bases were filled in the NTH because
3rst base was not covered on Childs
STUNT These dumb plays were discour-
aging 10 the rooters and almost democrat
ling TO the team.
In the first inning Klopf and Leahy
went out and Gutenberg singled 70 cen
ter: he went to second on Seybolds HIT
hut both men anchored for HargroVe
died in center. In the next inning Dun
don went out to Doherty and kain was
hit with pitched ball. Barley anchored
on first and he was the last man VINO
pver cot that far. for they were knocked
Gown in blocks Of three right along al
lerward
Three men went up and down for Hart
ford in the first. In the second, Iate
walked. and so did Purvis, but both per-
lshed at second on Hess thTowdowns,
the latter on a bunt by DOherty and the
third baseman safed at first. He went
10 second on Roachs hit and scored be-
cause Hargy allowed the ball to go
through him.
The fifth inning was productive OF two
runs for the visitors. McMahon. the
first man up, singled. and was forced 20
second, because Murphy was hit. Ihen
ChIlds hit safe and the bases were fun.
The next man up, Bottemus. was, also.
hit, forcing a man in and still filling the
bases and Murphy scored on Cavelle's
out at FIRST.
Another run was made in the seventh.
Murphy went out TO Klopf and Childs
walked Both Bottenus and Cavene SIN
gled and Childs scored. This ended the
run-getting and It was a victory Tor
Hartford and a slump in Richmond's
percentage.
Pitcher John Chesbro has left the Club
and will probably go this morning or to-
night TO join an independent club. playing
sn New York State
He can never play again IN league
under national protection unless he Is re-
leased by the Richmond club, or returns
80 live up TO his contract.
Chesbro did not sign contract this
season. but was under reservation and
IL as legally the property OF the Rich
mond club as II he had signed
CHESHIRE. realizing that he pitches bet
ter ball this season than last asked for
an increase over the salary that he agreed
10 play on this season. but the manage
rnent saw no reason why his salary
should be raised at this time, and they
refused 10 give him the desired increase
