The Lawmakers beat Lynchburg yes
y terday. and the answer Is that they hit
when hits meant something. Long
pitched the game for the home boys,
and hc held the visitors when they
needed holding IeeIss. Of Lynchburg.
\ couldn't measure up. and the Lawmakers
found HIN when they wanted to real
Is badly. N
The score was four to one, with SHAFT
II fer's aggregation hanging & TO-. the. big;
end OF the proposition, and the Grim
i ties flirting with the one tally. which
Il by the way, was earned, and came n
q the third Inning. after Rclss had SMACK,
ed one to risht-ceater for three sacks
and placed HIS toptBy wootsys on ING
& rubber when Bowen singled. s
Barring this inning. Long mad the
y Hill Climbers looking dizzy. He had his
underhnnd ball working to pc on
and his curves broke sharp and kept;
the champions in n worry. Long also
had few spit balls that he handed
out, and the saliva was working over
8 time. VI ias 81 tt

& and these five were scattered; SO that

Reiss Gets T hree-Bagger.
Reiss, for Lynchburg, pitched "a fairy
!, good game and was the cause of the
only run that HIS team sRecured. lie,
allowed eight hits. and HE gave Long
B the unmerciful chill in the third inning,
when he ncked Y one away for three
sacks. BoweIrs drive brought the curve
i ologist across the plate with the one
i tally, that saved the goose egg for the
Z men who hail from the city where all
is nm uphill tussla.
Il The Lawmakers scored their first run
Il in the second inning, Cuddy planking
y his tiny little foot on the plate. ClddyS
Il had previously knocked q two-bagger,
and sebrIe. the new man from Gettys-
X burg, sacrificed very nicely a nthony
\ did the ozone act, and Walsh whipped
the ball down to third TO catch Cuddya
& The throw was wild, and the runner
n came in. n Is, s25. II 81
This was the first run OF the game,
and the Richmond fans had a cha nee TO
Il get busy With their voices,
f 8 But the third Inning was he one that
gave the creepy feeling. NValst h died to
S. Cuddy, and Reiss took three ( sacks on
the one that he sent to the field DARN
ger sent a Texas Leaguer to left, and
Siebrie got under It. after a very good
run. He showed that he knew the game
Il IN this play, and his work all. through
was worth the mentioning. Bowen. how-
8 ever, smacked one across third base
that looked very eli se, and Reiss came
home. This was all for Iynchburg, q for
+ the other PIN ers Il went OUT u 5000 '''
!! fashion. s
Adhesion Changed.
The baseball enthusiasts here saw for
the first time Umpire Ike Save In ono
instance. the handler OF the indi Gator was
good. But In the eighth inning he re-
versed his decision. and this Is some
thing that Will always put an; Y mpire. 70
the bad. Hicks. who was on third, had
started to the home plate, and according
to those directly behind the catcher, ne
was safe at the rubber. The umpire
called him safe, and a minute later. when
y q protest was made by the I4ynchburg
players, Hicks was called out.
IS The play didn't change the result !. Ct
the game III any way. but It showed that
the umpire is unstable, In that he
changed d decision made, and which
+ should have held, whether It was right
or wrong. Richmond Is not the loser by
his action but he Is the man who gets
the censure. BIZ
siebrie, the man who halls from Gettys-
burg, Pa, and who Is doing the honore
IN left field. is IAN addition to tho Rich
rnond team that will help a great deal.
He played game yesterday that leaves
3 no doubt as TO his ability as a ball player.
