First Game.
The first game went thirteen in
nings and was one of the greatest
pitchers battles ever witnessed here.
Time and again runs were cut of oY
sensational fielding and both pitchers
seemed to be able to tighten UP in
the pinchS and hold runners on base.
Free passes and hits were SO scarce
that runners seldom got on base.
Only one Colt was left on base in the
first twelve innings and only six Bugs
were left in the entire game.
Probably the greatest play ever seen
In Richmond was pulled off by Sui
Ivan. when he dove headlong in pur-
suit of yerbouts drive in the twelfth
and captured IL In one hand while he
was sliding along the ground. Burke
followed with a single. and this catch
saved the game for the Bugs in THAI
inning.
Dobson saved the day for Richmond
when he slid into first retiring Gas
ton, while Rickert was scoring from
second. II was the third out.
In the thirteenth Shaw singled to
left and went to second on a passed
ball. Wallace few out to Rickert.
but Titman reached first on a missed
third strike when Murray threw wild.
Shaw going to third. Bunting finish
ed the game with single to right,
scoring Shaw,

the second game. but with darkness
enveloping the field. the visitors had
a stroke of good luck and won out
In the ninth with a good margin.

across In the fifth. Cobson drew a
pass and Ezekiel sacrificed him to

Fast fielding cut off all the chances
OF the Bugs in the early innings
Rickert tried to come IN on a squeeze
play in the fourth, but Revelle out
guessed him and wasted the ball. He
was an easy out at the plate Priest

giimmertng. Revelle got two strikes
on Griffin. and the Danville manager
