The plucky Richmond club evened Up
things with Allentown this evening by
winning game marked by heavy hit
ting and brilliant fielding. The contest
was one Of the prettiest played here this
season, and was close and exciting up to
the seventh inning. when TIE visitors, by
stick-work, forced Ia three runs
and clinched their victory. The one weak
spot in the game was the pitching Of
Keener. and the Richmond men made the
best Of this. Chesbro was batted more
freely than Keener. but the hits were
scattered. The hard drives of Chesbro
