Crawford's bendcrs proved no mystery
to tho Champions yesterday, and tho
Richmonderss went down another peg,
after INDUCING in q smuggling match for
the amusement OF the crowd. Score 10

Barton Heights was assisted TO another
higher notch on the ladder BY the poor
base running ana at times Indifferent
playing Of the Manchester aggregation.
Score toi2.
About three thousand people saw tho
two gnes. With the first one the fans
were plea sed, but the second game was
not up to tho standard. Rchmond's team
literally went up in the mir. and be-
fore 1t descended to terra hrma the
Brownies had the game cinched so fur as
the run column was counted, Not before
this ason has Crawford allowed 80
many of the battcrs to connect with his
south-paw drops. His curves were break
Ing badly and his team was not giving
him the support that was needed.
And right hero 1t had as well be said
that Richmondsnecds some new playersl
Its all right TO put enthusiasm into sthe
team, and 1t goes good ways towards
winning the games, but unless the ma
terlal is there, games will be lost. me
nine did not strengthen any when Y Sc
cured Hooker's services. Hooker Is an
erstwhle pitcher but hasn't done my
service In the box since his advent with
the Richmond nine! He Is not GOOD
+ hitter, base runner or fielder. twice yes
tcr,iay afternoon he hid an opportunity
to come home. and two more runs would
have been challlcd up to the losing teams
credit had he run bases as a ball player
should.
There was a Kick In the last game over
the decisions of. Umpire Duke. Dick
Duke is perhaps the best umpire that
Richmond ever had. He understands the
game and Is absolutely honest and sim
cere But there are times wh5n the best
OF 'cm get Off and some think that
Duke had n bad eye yesterday. Be that
rs It may. the Brownies won the game
because they played better ball.
