Swapping horses in rntdstream-the
hrst time Lipe has used two pitchers
In one game this scason--d!d the locals
little good yesterday afternoon, when
Norfolk outbatted and outplayed them
to the tune OF to /.
Jackson worked In the box for four
innings. giving two hits and two runs.
IT seemed to be an off day with him,
as he was not twirling in his usual
style. and Lipe replaced him with
ginning. six men being retired In order
In the seventh they hammered him out
of the box. and things went from bad
to worse when the men behind him
lost heart and booted the ball about
the field. The errors contributed large
~ to the defeat. but victory was not
for Richmond, nevertheless. Bertram.
the Norfolk twirler. was at all times
consistent.
Once. however. two hits Were bunch
ed against him. and these brough; In
the locals only run. Up to the fatal
seventh the game was pretty even, but
here Lipe's men practically gave UP.
and the game was lost.
Rooster Secs Gnme.
Something over or below 5000 peo-
pie and Plymouth Rock rooster wit
messed the game. The crowd was
pretty enthusiastic at times. The roos-
ter saw the way the tide was turning
and looked on with great nonchalance
Several unkind fans tried to disturb
him with bottles. but he glanced at
them with disdain and returned to his
pickings In the rather empty grass.
Both Byron and o'Neil worked yes
terday-O'Neil behind the catcher and
Byron on the bases. Both did salts
factory work, though few unimpor-
tant knockers took occasion several
times to gibe OtNeil because he called
a strike what 1t IS
Norfolk started the scoring In the
first. when seitz singled to left field,
and was sacrificed to second by Bon
ner. Cummings followed with another
single. but was thrown out attempts
ing to steal second, after the first man
up had scored. jackson went out on
a grounder to Lipe.
Richmond went out In order in the
first, and didn't last long In the Sec
ond. RIGGS went to first on Bonner's
bad error, the ball being booted clean
out into centre field. and Sandherr
sacrificed him. Titman sent fly to
Rutland. and Riggs, was thrown out at
second bag. Four men went to bat for
Norfolk In the second. Haas reaching
first on Ison's error. He was sacrificed
10 second by o'Neal. and Rutland
walked. stealing second. But Haas
was caught by Jackson on third, and
Smith flew out to Tltman.
ri In the fourth, Jackson,s last inning,
Cummings walked. and the local twirl-
er let the Norfolk jackson reach first
bag on his own error, Cummings go-
ing to third. Haas went out to Lipe,
who made pretty running catch.
O'Neal grounded to Bonner. and Cum-
nings crossed the plate. Rutland
went out to Tltman.
Hammered Revelle Hard.
jackson retired at the conclusion,
and Revelle took his place. Two
strikeouts. two flies and two ground
ers retired the six men who faced him
in the fifth and sixln, but in the
seventh there was another and sad
der tale. Nine men came to the bat.
Lipe booted n grounder that came to
him and Haas was safe. EO'Neal landed
on the sphere for three bags. ana
&llaas scored easily. Ruhland's two
bagger scored O'Neal, and %Lipes sec
ond error, when he threw the ball at
kanzler's feet gave life to Smith,
&Rertram singled and Smith scored,
SeItz sacrificed Bertram, and the run
ner came in on Bonners single over
Sandherr's head. Bonner died on Sec
ond, however. Cummings got life on
Ison,s error, but. fortunately, before
things became more disgusting Jack
son struck out. 1t was case OF 9
@three-bagger, a double and two singles
md three errors. Thereafter tho men
vent out in order.
Richmonds lone tally came IN tne
six tn Hoftron sent one out into lett
held for three bases, but Llpe Went
out on slow grounder to Rutland.
Kanzler dropped one over o'NeaIs
head, scoring Heffron, He was thrown
out at second. however, and Eiggs
went out on foul fly to Smith. There
was no more scoring,
1t was poor exhibition on Ricn-
,nond's part all through, Nobody could
hit, and they couldn't prevent Norfolk
from hitting when stick work counted
for something besides running UP the
Hbatter's average
,rhe rooster for all his big show OF
@disda!n, walked off the field rather
disconsolately. He. has never missed g
game, and will probably be there
