Richmond z: BIuffton 1.

We took another fall out of the
zcrappy Bluffton umpire baiters again
Monday and with Decatur we are still
leading in the I. o. league race. The
game was a walk away for the locals,
Mr.. Carmichael, the ex-Dunkirk de-
mon who essayed to twirl for the
visitors, being pounded so hard that
his wild eyed manager used the der
rick on him in the middle of the sew
enth inning. Blankenbaker was sent
in to replace Carmichael and the in
ming and half he worked he yielded
two bases on balls and was touched
up for two hits. Fisher. the Handy
Andy of the locals. was in the box
so that our pitching staff, Nat Flem-
ing, could take a much needed rest.
Fisher pitched rafting good game
and was given errorless support, the
same being a novel experience for
Tacks. The southpaw with the mar
Gel waves allowed eight hits but they
were scattered here and there
throughout the game. so they only re-
suited in one run. Bluffton PLAYED a
ragged fielding game but the contest
was easy to look at because of the
high class fielding the Quakers dis
played and the stick work of the two
teams.
Our first count came in the second.
Morris led off with a single. was sac
rificed to second by Wiltermood, took
third on Minzlers infield out and
came home when First Baseman Pfef-
ferly dropped an assist to catch Cum
bingham at first. In the fifth Bluff
ton tied the score. La Rue drew his
base on balls after two were down
and then scored under Ryan's vicious
drive to right, which netted two bases.
Support Goes skyward.
In the sixth Mr.. Carmichaels sup
port gently sailed into the ozone and
the brutal slaughter that resulted was
a sight to move the heart of a Fiji
cannibal. The ever faithful Mr.. Cam
eron started the massacre. Jim STEP
ped to plate and lined out sizzling
double-Jim is particular about his
doubles-then Jessup assimilated an
inshoot in the anatomy. Morris beat
out an infield hit and the bags were
infested with Quakers. Wiltermood
singled and Cameron crossed the
plate while the fans made padded cell
noises. Minzler stung a hot one to
Zanglin but Pfefferly dropped the as
sist, giving Minzler his life. Pfefferly
recovered the ball and threw to Spic-
err to nail Jessup at the plate but the
throw was wide one and Jessup was
allowed to count. With Cunningham
at the bat Spicer threw to La Rue to
catch Norris off third but the ball
oozed through the Erenchman's talons
and Morris crossed the pan. Three
runs were over and not an out made.
Cunny lifted high one to Donovan
in center which Wiltermood scored
under. The curtain was rung down
on the bloody tragedy by Ridgely
breezing and Fisher flying out to Don
ovan.
Two More in Seventh.
Two more Richmond runs came in
the seventh. Ritter first up beat
bunt to first and was sacrificed by
Cameron. Jessup skied to Donovan
and Ritter beat the latters assist to
third. George Morris brought the
stands up and bowling by cracking
out a scorching three Dagger to right,
counting the Rabbit. Right here is
where Carmichael was blanketed and
led gently but firmly to the stable.
Mr.. Wiltermood greeted Mr.. Blanken-
baker to our beautiful city by biting
him for a single, scoring Morris. Min
zler got a life by another Pfefferly
error and Cunny filled the bags with
a dingy single. Ridgely was called
upon to deliver the goods but the best
