noon defeated Richmond on the local
diamond by the score of to 2.
Sparks was In bad form, for the yisi-
tors met his delivery successfully
twelve times. and 1t took all the good
fielding OF which his team was capable
to prevent the number OF hits from
running up into higher fgnres. IN
the other hand, Fox pitched consistent
ball, allowing only six hits. which were

bases Had Sparks been relieved in
the fatal fifth, 1t might have been a
different tale. but L!pe was evidently
satisfied with the lead Richmond had
over the other team and willing TO let
Sparks, one Of his crack pitchers. work

Leftfielder Heffron showed his bat

him to third, and Kanzler singled him
home. The third man UP scored on an
error and passed ball. Things looked
bright for Richmond. but only once
thereafter did they manage to get to
third base.
Sparks held the visitors down in the
next three innings with only one hit.
