ginning OF the eleventh with the run
thai sent Lynchburg one peg higher up
towards the place where the pennant
rests.
The game was simply bubbling over
with fast plays, quick work on the part
ssiof the felders and snap and ginger by
both sides. Rioters were there in large
numbers. and the Lawmakers were
cheered every inning.
Long brought all hands up In the third
inning when he tied the score with
home-run The ball was knocked to
left-neld near the fence, and went IN
the newly erected blearhers there. Be.
fore Wilson could squeeze his body
through the opening and get the ball
q into the diamond. Richmonds klg twirler
! had circled the bases. Lynchburg had
made one tally in the first inning and
Longs home run evened things up.
Fast Double Won,the Game
Another heart-dsease proposition was
handed to Richmond fans in the fourth
inning when the bases were filled and
not run was made. Reeve started Il
4 with scratch hit and Hicks walked.
Shaffer hunt for sacrifice, and beat
the bunt out. This filled each sack and
there wasn't a man out. It looked good
for two or three runs. Cuddy knocked
only a moment later sent one into the
air that Daringcr got under. No one
could leave base. Jack Anthony came
10 bat and there was plenty OF cheer
Ing. But Jack sent a hot one down 10
Haringcrfa at short, and Darnger pitched
4 1t to Bowen at second, killing Shafter,
and Bowen sent the sphere whizzing
to Holt heforc Jack could reach the
initial sack.
1t was an exceedingly fast double. and
It saved the game for Lynchburg, for
otherwise the score would have certainly
been four to three in the ninth inning.
with the Lawmakers hanging to the big
end OF the proposition.
But in the fifth with two hits. base
on balls and a neat sacrifice hit, the
home boys sent two men over the rubber
and got a lead that looked good enough
to hold for the game. And 1t was good
until the seventh, when the Shoemakers
found Long again for three hits. the
same as they had done in the first inning.
The three safe swats netted them two
runs and tied the matter up. Tho eighth
ninth and tenth innings gave goose eggs
to each side, and then came the fatal
eleventh.
In the Eleventh Inning.
The shoemakers sent Darlnger, the
midget. to the bat and he landed against
one that Anthony got under. Bowen con-
nected safely and Bentley lined one to
center field. Anthony went after 1t as
fast as he could. but the ball took a
mean bound and went to tho fence,
Bowen came over before the sphere could
get back into the diamond. Wilson went
out 10 center and Holt was out from
Reeve to Shaffer. This ended the inning,
and Richmond had a chance to tie tho
score again.
The rooters got busy, and the grand
stand was shaken with the noise. For
Hicks was to lead off Hicks previously
had sent three long flies to left field. and
onlv the worst OF luck prevented any
one of them from netting him two
Dagger,
But this time he swung vclously at
three and didn't connect with anything
except the atmosphere. shaffer- sent a
long high one to center field and Cuddy
ozoned and stopped the excitement,
1.ynchburg walked away with the one
game
Cooks playing ut third for the visitors
was OF the gllt-edge, and he probably
saved tho game for his team IN the nlnth
inning, when Ne blockedtone from shaf-
fer's bat that would have meant Two
sacks. and shaffer would have scored
on the plays following this, BIT II wa was
not intended, perhaps that the Law
makers should take the two games N
succession.
Anthony and Hamilton did tho atellar
work for Richmond. both catching flies
that meant trouble for them.
