However, Eighteen RunleSS In

Remove Belief in the Exist

DUNKIRK SMEARED THE
SECOND WHITEWASH COAT
First Inning Was Sufficient to
Put the Game on Ice for the
Visitors---Ten Hits Were
Secured Off Moore.
(By Tort.)
Dunkirk s.; Richmond o.


The Quakers Saturday afternoon suf-
located with a nice juice coat of calci-
mine, the second coat received since
Friday. Notwithstanding eighteen
run1ess innings the locals are positive
that there is home plate at Athletic
park, for during the pastltwo days they
have seen nine Dunkirki athletes cross
it,
Mr.. G.. Moore, pitcher of much stat
sayed the role of making the man-eat-
ing Dunkirks eat out of his hand. The
reception he received in the debut of
the game. reminded the dazed popu1ace
in attendance of the late spectacular
bombardment of Port Arthur. Fig
uratively speaking the hand extended
by Mr. Moore for the Dunkirks to eat
out of was literally chewed off by these
bloodthirsty athletes.
First Inning Lurid.
Six solid swats and two costly errors
were perpetrated in the lurid first.
These netted six runs, any one of
which would have put the game on ice
for the visitors, as Carmichael, who
was battered out of the box during his
last appearance in this city, refused to
allow any assault and battery to be
committed on his delivery. Carmich-
ael had speed. control and curves and
the best the Tribe of Jessup could ex-
tract from his offerings. was three sim
giles. scattered here and there through
out the contest. Moore worked under
difficulties. owing to a sore wing, but
after the first inning he tightenedsup
and prevented further scoring. In
fact only four hits were made Off of
him after the opener. His support al
so braced and played brilliant ball
back of him.
Should Have Been 10.
A careful perusal of the score shows
that but for a muff of a fly ball by
Cunningham in the first. the score
would have been only / to O-still that
one lonesome run would have won, as
there were no Quaker bingles on tap.
The pyrotechnic display in the open
err was touched off thusly. Stewart
damned the first ball pitched into the
NAV of one Ritter. Campbell then
smote for sack. Morris next up, al
so singled. scoring Campbell. The
mighty Willes lifted one to Ritter
which went for the second out. Wolfe
then smote out a single. which adj
vanced Morris TO third. Wolf
promptly stole second. Hall showed
a high one to Cunningham who fooled
it, allowing Morris and Wolfe to romp
home. Had Cunny assimilated this
high flight the spasm would have been
over-but he didn't. Three hits in
succession after Hall secured life, re-
suited in three more runs.
Chances to Score.
The Quakers had three chances to
score but they were thrown away.

and the other two times by stupid play

hard one to Stewart who scrambled it
