Ten thousand joyous followers OF
the national game saw Lipe's pennant
aspirants take complete revenge on
the Danville team for former defeats by
winning the third Of the series at
Broad Street Park yesterday by the
score OF to 9. The crowd was equal
in size to that which saw the opening
shook the grandstand and bleachers to
their very foundations. Many State
and city dignitaries were in attend
ance to applaud the home team. Gov
ernor Swanson. Judge and Mrs. Scott
and Major A. 3. Williams distinguished
the press box with their presence.
1t was battle OF the big stick. and
the locals proved the more powerful.
With the exception OF one inning, when
a hit was secured by Lipc's lads, run
followed. Danrille opened up strong,
but went down the last five innings In
one, two. three order. while the Law
makers led off strong and finished
stronger.
'.Hoot mon" Mckenzie. who danced
the Highland fling to the amusement
of the spectators, was a bit unsteady
at flrst, but after the third inning he
pitched big league game. and his
opponents never had the tiniest look In.
With the score to 2. Richmond wound
up in whirlwind style, batting the ball
all over the outer bean patch and
chasing four runners over the home
plate. Every man on the homo team
had his eye on the ball and did some
thing at the bat to enlarge the score.
Mckenzie and Messitt proved to be a
heavy hitting Battery. While the Red
Sox played fine game. they found
themselves up against an invinciblc
article.
