a very unhappy incident, occurred
In the last inning out at the ball park
yesterday afternoon-Danville chased
three runners across the plate. thereby
winning the battle from our Lawmak-
ers by the score OF 5 to g. This last
round was repletc with hits and err
rors. the locals going clean to the bow
vows. Lipe's squad tried hard to come
back at 'crn in their half. failing after
almost doing what they wanted to do
Stradfr won the game for Danville
with his mighty stick. which brought
in the winning runs when hits were
needed. He almost lost IT again. but
Loos proved to be the master of the
situation. and although Richmond had
man on second and third in the
last inning. they never came home.
The Lawmakers seemed to have an
OF, day with the willow. although they
got as many hits as the Tobacconists
the best batters failing to soak the
ball when soaks would have taken the
game. T!tman batted like fiend Che
has got the habiD, but his fielding
was poor and costly.
Sandherr was the star OF the day.
making two spectacular one-hand
catches OF high liners that seemed
good for two bases or more. He also
showed that he has recovered his wing.
In the fourth round Cowan and um-
pire Mace had little discussion re-
garding baseball. Reveile pitched
something and Mace called It ball.
Cowan said 1t was not; Mace said It
was. Cowan insinuated that the de-
cision was rotten, and Mace let it be
known that the assertion would cost
him fve-dollar bill. George retorted
1t
sent him to the bench.
The Bugs scored in the fourth and
ninth. getting only one hit in the other
innings The Lawmakers checked up
three in the fifth in a batting rally.
After being chopped down in the
first three frames. DOYLE went to bat
in the fourth and swatted liner to
centre. Fisher grounded TO L!pe. who
tried TO catch Doyle at second. bu,
both runners Were safe Then HEM
sacrificed personal glory for the good
OF the whole, advancing the runners
neg. Following this. Strader. who
was warmly applauded when he hrst
went to bat. dragged big stick TO
the plate and pressed his weight
against the pellet for clean single
down the right foul line. scoring Doyle
and Fisher Stafford flew out to Lipe
and Reinhart to sandherr.
Titman came TO bat in the fifth with
ambition written all over his mobile
countenance. whacking delightful
single to the right plot. Still not salts
fed. he stole second, the only theft
of the game. Ison delivered fly to
Fisher. but Boyle smote the sphere to
left garden, which landed Titman safe
vt third. while the catcher passed to
second on the throw in. AT this in
teresting moment smiling Dutch
Revelle stepped to the rubber and
swung on the horse-hide. When the
noise ceased both Titman and Boyle
were walking toward the bench with
TALES to their credit, while Dutch
had cantered to second on the thro"
in Had 1t rained then the twirler
would have won his own game. 1t did
sprinkle little, but not enough. Wher
Hebron went out at first Reveile
passed to third. coming home on Lipe's
grounder through second. Kanzles
canned. which ended the run-gettins
Cor the Lawmakers.
