E# s'4a.5t el.. To j IN Inc lnsL. OF the
eleventh Inning, when the side
should have been easily retired
with double. But Mr.. W. c. Wingard.
the umpire handed Us for this series cries
OF games, got stone blind when Rcggy.
who was on first, got caught Mt second
and then held Hicks arm TO prevery a
throw to first.
Charlie Shaffer kicked and everybody
else kicked at wanted to sec: the game;
70 fair nnG . the best team. but kick
ing did not get us anything. One man
WAS out man on third and another on
first when Hahn. for the Danvile crowd
sent q hot one to Cuddy at short The
tall was Immediately transferred to Hicks,
who was trying to throw the runner out
at first when Reggy pulled hin, around.
The ball was jerked out of his hands
and went between the first-base and
the catcher. OF course the runner on
third scored. but the man at first should
have been out without the run. 5f
Umpire Nngard said he did not see the
play. What's the use? Nothing in the
world but a combination OF unlucky
plays beat Richmond to-day.
Cuddy held Jack Anthony on the third
sack In the first inning. when Jack could
.haye made the plate and scored 80 rum
the shelf with the pancakes. And when
tht Tobaconists got It's one run in The
third It was because Eckstone just
Topped one over the plate while man
was on third.
Over thousand people saw the game
and applauded each play. and It was a
good game all the way through. Mcdonald
for Danville, pitching excellent ball at
times. Eckstone did good twirling. but
a hoodoo was following him. Morris
Moore was In the grandstand and he
had Just returned from Richmond, where
he gave some exhibitions of his hypnotic
powers.
He might have passed his hands across
the faces of the Richmond aggregation
for all know. @ +
Benny took the field with his crowd Of
ballologists in the opening. and Titman
wigglcd the willow first. He was out from
second Ia first and Cuddy popped up
to third. Benny dropped Anthony's
pop up and put the first man on tie
sack. Then Hicks pasted one to the[free
country. and Lee Sharp followed the ex-
ample sharps drive should have scored
Anthony, but bad coaching prevented the
tally. III
shafrer got one 10 third, but died at
first. Benny got biffed BY Eckstone in
tho third inning. and McDpnald beat out
bunt Reggy sacrificed nicely, and
Hahn flew one far in the air that Cowan
pulled away from terra firma. Zurlage
connected and Benny scored. Tltman
threw Nc Donald out a home. It was
! to 0. with the Lawmakers swinging 10
the zero mark until the sixth inning,
when little Lee Sharp. that silent Full
ton chap, who had already gotten Two
singles. smacked one In the breast for
two sacks. Charlie hunted and beat the
hunt out, Sharp scored on the play
that was made by Charlie going to Sc
ccnd.
While the ball was between the first
snd seconcl-mse line Lee was spikng the
rubber, Then the running ceased each
side having sent one man around the
circuit
The seventh, eighth and ninth Innings
we're ones that gave the Rtchmonuers'
nervous p-ostratlon. Once there were
three men on the sacks and q hit would
have meant two runs. The hits didn't
come. Tho fatal eleventh had TO come
Cowan got n hit In the Richmond side
OF the inning but tho rest OF tht batters
We're easy outs.
The Tobacconsts started things to lnoY-
Ing in their half when ONeil. who mad
really been struck out by Eckstone, was
hinged in the shoulder. Benny sacr-
feed, making the first man out. Nc
Donald sent long fly to Sharp IN left,
and the little fellow muffed It. This put
O'Neil on third. and Mcdonald on first,
Reggy walked, filling the bases Hahn
came to bat sent one to C,ddy, Cuddy
sent It to Hicks and Reggy held tho
throwing arm Of Hicks. Mr., Wfngard
did not see the play, What's the use? 4
The Lawmakers have lost five games,
and take this straight from me, for !
have seen them all--three of those games
we're not lost hut taken away from us,
To-day Laval, the southpaw, is slated
to pitch,
Richard was due to twlrl to-day, and
started out to do the honors, but for some
reason, manager Benny thought that the
Lawmakers would find him ana MT Nc
Donald in Richard will likely pitch to-
days game. The official score follows: Il.
