Downfall.

RICHMOND, Va, April 4-Chesbro's
wildness. and a timely punching OF
hits by Richmond. gave the latter four
runs and the game here this after
noon against the New York Americans.
Manning, who succeeded Chesbro IN
the sixth, was invincible. not a single
hit was made of his delivery.
The Yankee team was composed al
most entirely Of pitchers, and this in
great measure accounted for their de-
feat
l5iles. the New York second base
man, in whom they placed much conf
dence, put up a poor exhibition at short
making two rank errors on easy
chances. EIberfeld played the star
game OF the afternoon, accepting ev-
erything that came his way. often 60
ing into other territory accepting diff
cult chances.
The lone run scored by the Americans
was chalked up in the fifth inning
when Ison, Richmond's second base
man. let an easy one go through his
fingers. Sparks and ReveIle both SHOW
ed up well in the box for Richmond,
the former holding the New Yor :ers
down to three scattered singles in five
innings.
Seven thousand loyal fans sat and
shivered in the cold wind throughout
the game. New York had three men
on bases in the last inning. with ITO
men out, when Sweeney. the right
fielder, ran from second to third, fore
