DOYLE PROVES TOO FAST

Completely unnerved ut the sight OF
the big New York Americans, tho Law
makars yesterday afternoon suffered
defeat in Il game that was as lacking
in interest and vim sit was decisive
Tho big lcaguers piled UP u score Of six
teen runs. While the Richmonders
never reached third-base, and only
once or twice landed on the second bag.
The Richmonders had II bad slump. for
they arc really capable OF far better
bnll-playlng than they exhibited In
yesterdays contest They could get
only four hits. none Of which ever
counted for anything except for an out
burst8of applause from the blcachers.
Doyle was too strong and speedy for
them, and the support he received from
the rest OF the team WAS almost per-
feet. Six out OF the nine mon brought
here by the New lorkers are pitchers;
two are catclers and tho other nn out
fielder. All of them are handy with
the bat, and they pounded A1ulhall and
Derby with mercilcss insistcnce.
Poor Work.
Mulhall allowed eight hits. and Der
By fell only one short In the number
gained from him, making fifteen hits
in all. But neither OF them, however.
cxcrtcd himself to his full strength,
az both arc stll suffering from sore
arms. Derby could never let himself
out. and tho big batsmcn OF the ops
posing team found his balls an easy
mark. ID
1t was simply a case OF nervousness
in going on the field before large
crowd OF spectators against a team by
which they were hopelessly outclassed.
Even the usually steady Reeve made
two errors. though one Of the chances
vas pretty hot. In the eighth inning
Reeve threw the ball away In attempt
ing to catch a runner at second, and
before it could be stopped at had
bounded to the rght-ficld fence and
three men had scored. Kirkpatrick,
also had q case of nervousness, and
made two errors.s O'Neil, on second
showed up well, accepting several
ritky chances. and securing one OF the
-FOUR hits made by Richmond. Titmar
failed to secure his usual hit. and
struck out twice. Hebron likewise
had the rattles, and famed three times
Kelley played good game, making
