ALLENTOWN. PA, July 27.-Spccial.-
Richmond had sweet revenge on Allen
town to-day and gave it TO the locals in
the solar plcxus. The Chcrubs scored
eight runs. and ~ the same time treated
Billy Sharsigs colts 90 one OF the neat
est coats of Whitcwash that they have
received this season. Allentown wasn't
IN ~ at any stage OF the game. whilD the
visitors put up am article OF ball that was
simply surprising.
Lever pitched "a game that was per-
fection itself and an That Allentown got
OF his delivery was four measly hits
so badly scattered that they were incf-
fcctiyc.
Only once during the agme ala Allen
town get a runner further than second
base and that was not until the seventh
inning. when Henry reached bag No.
on q wild throw over first base by klOpf
lie died there. however.
Only one other local got beyond the in
itlal bag and that was Jim Delchanty.
who reached that bag I'm the eighth in
ming on his own single and Hargrove's
bad throw 20 the inhcld.
TWO ERRORS.
With the exceptions Of the errors Of
kiOpf and Seybold. Richmond helded n
perfect game. Scybold made the star
0lay Of the game in the sixth inning
-vhen he captured Cleve's long foul drive
m dead run. The crowd gave Scy-
Nod the heartiest applause on his phe-
oomenal catch.
Gutenberg made another foul catch
nearly az difficult The work OF Dundon.
Klopf Ledhy and NigneauX was OF the
highest order and AN through the Rich
mond team put up an article OF ball that
would win most any game.
The Nirginians ran the bases In fine
style. particularly Shannon. The visitors
batted heavily and bombardod fhe two
local pitchers I'm great shape West
started in TO pitch for Allentown. but
he was hit SO hard that he gave way I'm
the sixth 10 Boyle. "a local twirler. who
was also battcd heavily for one inning
After that. however, ne was effective, and
only one hit was secured.
WON III THE FIRST.
Richmond won the game i'm the first In
ming when Klopf took first on liemp's
error. Shannon followed with a single
and both scored ON Lutenherg's hit. The
visitors were retired one. two three the
next three innings. I'm the hfth with two
men out the run getting business was re-
sumcd.
Shannon walked to first on called balls
and likewise did Gutenberg. The former
scored on Seybolds single and the latter
and Gutenberg were sent home on
three base drive by Hargrove. who by the
way. led Richmond in batting with four
hits. lie scored on Leahys single.
Boyle then went i'm 10 pitch and gave
Lever a base on balls. lie was ont ar
second by Klopf who. however. scored on
a two Dagger by Shannon. The latter
committed bold larceny of the third bag
and scored on Lutenbergs sacrifice. Sew
bold and HarErovc also singled i'm this
inning. bur the former was caught off sec
ond base and the inning ended.
