Delehanty, and Ollie Smith, the old Rich.
mond player, beat Richmond yesterday
| In a game that was interesting because
| OF the great surprise experienced at the
really championship ball the Allentown
tailenders put up.
Keener pitched, and if yesterday was a
sample of his work, he belongs in the
'front.' rank with the best in the league.
The Delehanty brothers hit the ball
longer and harder than has been seen
here in long while. Tom was I'D four
times. and the first three Melted him a
single, double, and a triple. His
younger brother. Jack, was up four times
ana the first was a home-run drive into
centre-feld the other side of the club
mouse, and the next hit he made was q
neat double. Ollie Smith, Just TO keen
IN the game. smashed triple up against
left-centre fence near the score-board.
SCHMIDT MADE FAILURE.
Henry Schmidt went in to pitch. Ii
was his first game since his defeat in
Norfolk, and the rooters settled back
10 enjoy the speed he was supposed 10
nave stored away. But the rooters were
surprised few moments later, because
Schmlot had neither speed nor control
In the flrst inning two hits a base on
balls, TWO strike-outs. and a e-rounder
10 second was the record but in the
next hopes were smashed Jack Dele

sent 1t away out into left-centre and
homo Efngfnp
drew a base on balls, and scored on
Moran's double TO left. Tom Delehanty
put a double to left. scoring Argy. and

succeeded Schmidty, and in the third in |
ning allowed but three batsmen to face !
him, but in the next inning there was |
another batting streak-two three-bag- |
gers and single netted two more runs. |
making Allentowns total five runs.

Hess's sacrifice. and scored on an ont
by Seybold. In the eighth Vigneaux
reached first on hit and went to second
on by play crossing the plate on
Klopfs single
The game was decidedly interesting and
enjoyed. The rooters, of course dis
llked TO see Richmond put out of first
place by the tailenders. but did not OBJ
lect to witnessing a good ball game.
There were pretty plays and the PLAYERS
were warmly applauded. Vigneaux put
put four batsmen on beautiful catches of
Ioul flies. Once he was forced TO do a
title circus business, causing lots of APP
olause. Danny Leahy played splendidly
It second. accepting all his chances clean.
md putting snap in the game Tommy
Hess and Gus Dundon were in the game '
playing at first and third respectively.
Tommy took care of things around first
