The hole that was STAYED in the Mary |
Jane by the Roanoke scuttlers on We'd
ncsday. and which sea-dog Fender |
thought he had cnniked up well enough /
for few days OF smooth sailing. broke
aloak in Broad Street bay yesterday |
afternoon. and the visiting ship WIS
all but swamped by shaffer's Colts,
the final result being to An favor |
Of Richmond. Just what caused the
laundering OF the good ship yesterday
is hard TO say, unless 1t was that Pen
der's crew were made to look like land
lubbers by the locals. both in fielding !
and at bat.
Then it must be remembered that |
one Mike Cassidy was showing eru.l
over for Richmond, and one small Hin
ton was at the receiving end. Botnd
men performed creditably. and the for
rner was decidedly heartless In the |
ninth. when, with no one down and
DingIe on first. Evans was sent in as
place OF wynne. This same Evans
took his time, and after Cassidy had
given him three balls. 1t looked as II
a lifeline would be gotten to the ship |
wrecked crew. Cassidy. however. set |
tied down. and after Evans had fouled
twice he hit at a wide one. and the
last ray of hope for the ranquished
died out. SeiN flied 10 Hefron and
Buessc drove long one to Titman.
who made a pretty catch and ended
the game.
The Features.
The two distinct features of rather
slow game were the catches by wynne
and Hinton in the sixth and eighth
respectively. Cassidy had opened the
sixth in a most wonderful and unex-
pected manner. He gave every one the
dropsy and lost the confidence OF the
crowd in all pitchers for henccforth
by driving out clean hit past second
Titman then drove sizzler such as
only Titman himself can do, about a
foot over Wynne's head. Wynne made
n beautiful attempt and pulled down
what should have been n safe hit with
his ungioved hand. 1t was a pretty
stop, and the crowd showed It's appre-
citation by giving him the glad hand
Hinton's star feat occurred in the
eighth. Armstrong. who had replaced
Cummings in the box for the visitors
Knocked nasty foul into the air
directly In front of the press box. Hin
ton ran for 1t. and though turned half
way around from the direction in which
the ball twisted. caught it. It was not
as spectacular as Wypne's catch, but
1t more than deserved the applause 1t
provoked.
Cassidy pitched a fairly good game,
though not up to his usual form. He
weakened perceptibly in the sixth and
eighth. and was found for total of
,even hits and the four runs as a re-
suit. Cummings. who was on the slab
yor Norfolk, had nothing but the cholc-
est bits for Skaters henchmen, and
before he gave way to Armstrong. In
lhe ending OF the seventh. every man
IN the team except Hinton had landed
IN one at least OF his alleged foolers.
Heffron got three helpings. and Kirk
patrick, O'Neil and Shaffer each two
Wallace took an extra large bite on
his crack. making 1t a three-tmer,
and scoring Titman.
1t was the first ball over and he
drove it to deep right just inside the
foul line. Two double plays were reg
istered by the winners. The first.
clever piece of work from O'Neil to
Reeve to Shaffer and the other from
Titman to Reeve after the former had
made a difficult catch of low, mean
one off Cummings bat.
Titman Starts Things.
Cassidy started the game by tanning
pingl eand Wynne and causing Seitz
TO balloon to Titman. Titman opened
for Richmond with rafting hit to
centre, and was sacrificed TO second
by Reeve. He stole third and came
IJaf
Hebron himself counted minute later
on the slashing drive of Wallace for
three hassocks. kirkpatrick got life
on Wynne's error. and O'Neil brought
Wallace home by mailing one past sec
ond. Shaffer flied to left and on Hin
toms choice. Kirk was caught at third,
Cummings to Mcmahon.
There was nothing more doing for
either side until tho fifth. when Rich
mond put two across after two men
were gone. Successive nits by Kirk
patrick, O'Neil and Shaffer were re-
sponsible for these TALES. Norfolk be-
ran to pull Oft the shoals in the begin
ming OF the next, but after getting
one run on four hits and two choices,
the good old Mary Jane again caught
on Hnag, and refused to bulge until
the eight. after the Lawmakers had
counted twice more In tho sixth on
two singles. The way Norfolk's final
tallies We're registered was this: Seitz
was hit. stole second and third and
came home on Buesse's hit. Rothemel
hied out and Reeve and Shaffer dis
posed of jackson. Fender then singled
bringing home Seitz, and moment
later Mcmahon evacuated the hooks
with his three bagger. There was nc
more scoring. The score:
Richmond.
