In the second. Stewart was steady as
81 clock and had perfect control. Long
was steady enough. but was not AZ
effective as usual, allowing the visitors
to duplicate lifts in. three innings. For
tile game indicated but for a mis-
play al n critical moment. The visitors
scored fret In the fourth In this way:
Anthony singled and took second Jli
third on Warren.'s bad throw to catch
him scoring before the bail was re-
turned. Hinton's hit that followed
would have scored him, however.
In the nth Wynne fonled to Walsh
and Stewart struck out. MckSnna
drove n grounder to Reeve which he
juggled.
Bowen drove one to Long, too hott
handle, and was safe at first. Hooker
walked. and Anthony's rafting double
cleared the bags. and landed him on
second That was all, but 1T was more
than sufficient.
Richmond scored its lonely run In
the fourth. Hebron singled, and WAS
safe AT second on Wynne's Juggle,
continuing to third. He scored on Tit
mans out from Bowen TO Holt.
In the seventh and ninth, the Colts
made a bid for the game, but did not
land 1t. With one out. Wallace sin
gled over second, and went to third on
two passed balls. Sicbrie drove hot
liner to Bowen, which he squeezed and
Gettig gent fly to Anthony.
In the ninth Warren led with a clean
drive. but Walsh sent short fly to
right. and Long drove one to Hooker
