Richmond, S; Huntington, o.
(By Jack.)


slim" Aresmith was all the candy
in the game against Huntington at
Athletic park and so disguised was
Manager Jack Smith with the way in
which his darlngs misbehaved that he
called them down while the crowd
hooted. When Slim made his last
heave in the ninth only three of the
scratchiest kind of bingles had been
made off his delivery and not tally
had been scored. Guess the lanky
cross fire artist isn't there with the
goods He was inclined to be some
what wild and not very polite in the
way he nailed the hOrsehide in
to the HuntingtOnian spareribs, but
these slips never proved dangerous.
Aresmith's companions on the lot were
strong behind him, and welded the
willow with good old fashioned style.
Victory by the shutOut rout was es-
pecially sweet and the fact that the
home boys cirled the route five times
in their eight chances, was very graft
flying.
The day was dark and the wind blew
with a strong reminder of the frigid
zone. The loyal" among the fans,
were all there and they numbered
about 1000. The sun broke through
the clouds each time a score was made
and this fact seemed to indicate to the
visitors that it was not their day to
win. They had men on bases repeat
eddy, but each time the third sack was
reached, Old Lengthy applied an extra
portion Of hotball and there was moth
ing doing but strikeouts or pop flies.
The fans were glad to see the way
in which Jessup's warriors were work
ing. The only bobble was made by
Cap Parker on his first chance. 1t
was an easy catch of a fly ball back
of first Cap was camped upnder it
with hands up, but over confidence
spoiled everything and he dropped the
ball. That was in the first inning and
nary another miscue was made. Bam-
baugh did beautiful work in his chanc-
es at third He handled two of the
meanest kind of Founders by taking
the ball against his chest. 1t was any
way to get in front of them and he
succeeded.
The infield men had little to do.
Jessup, Cameron, Bambaugh and Are
smith composed almost all of the in
ner works and the outfielders did the
rest. Bauman and Parker had the
easiest day of the season. Bauman
had one put out and Parker's only
chance beside the one he missed, was
I'm assist. Shinn and Hurst elbowed
Pierce out of the way of fly balls and
each took three. while Gloomy could
get but two. One of these was the
prettiest catch of the game, however.
Jim took 1t running at right angles to
the ball and at full speed. Parker's
stick work more than made up for his
mfscue. He was to bat five times
and on four occasions reached first
safely. Three times he arrived at the
Initial corner as the result of safe
bingles through the infield and the
fourth time Goshorn tried the hitting
game and stuck one in Caps anatomy.
Bambaugh batted an even 1000. He
Secured two hits and twice was given
free transportation. Shinn's two bag
ger scored two runs. Richmond was
long on sacrifices Cameron and
Shinn did the magnanimous twice and
Hurst contributed one gift. The crowd
expected much of Home Run Haggerty
Bauman, but his only hit was a slow
one on the diamond. Patsy famed
the first time up. much to his own cha
grin and the disappointment of the
fans.
Richmond in hn firSt f-oy,
Parker hit, was sacrificed by Cameron
and scored on Hurst's single.
There was nothing more doing in
the scoring department until the sixth.
Bambaugh hit safely for the second
time and moved UP on Shinns sacri-
flee. Jessup hit to Strands, who boot
ed the ball and then threw it over
Fowler Bambaugh scored and Je3-
sup stopped at second Aresmith
flied to Donavan. but Parker was there
with the bingle that scored Shorty
Cameron breezed
Two more came in the seventh
Bauman walked and Hurst sacrificed
him. Pierce fouled out to Fogle BAN.
baugh was ticketed to first as a dead
head and Shinn raped one 10 right
field fence. The little outfieldeI
could have taken three. but stopped
with two bags covered The bases
were cleared by his drive.
The double umpire system was used
Mason and Romaine officiated and the
crowd was satisfied. The players die
not enter any protests. although there
were a few close decisions.
The hits Huntington secured were
scratchy, with but one exception. Fow
ler's bingle in the first was clean. Fo
gle hit one in the seventh that made
bad bound over AreSmith's head
