The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-04-29

Manager Clarke's Crew meet the
Colts Friday in the second game OF
their series here. Following the clcF
en-inning tie game played THURSDAY.
IL is expected that the second game
will be unusually exciting and hard
fought. 1t is expected that Fridays
and Saturdays games VIII attract re-
cord crowds to the local park.
Manager Clarke says thai 1t is his
intention To use Carl Walker. the local
boy, in one of the games here. but he
has not decided whether il will be
on Friday or Saturday, He says that
Walker is making good. and that he
considers him one Of the most prom
lsing OF the new members OF the staff.
il Walker does not twirl Friday, II is
likely that Mccarthy or probably
Lloyd will work Munson will lie at
the receiving end.
Manager Lawlor. who sustained a
severe sprain of the ankle while at
practice Thursday, is confined to his
quarters at the hotel and Will not he
In the game for several days. During
his absence from the game the team
viii be under the manager of Mes !
slit Messitt assumed charge Thurs
day and conducted the game in good
fashion.
For Fridays game either obi or Re i
yelle Will lee used. II is probable that
the left-hander Will be put In first,
and If he IL going well Will finish the
game. 1t is desired to save Rcvele
FOR the Saturday game, if possible.
Shaw. the utility player who has
been busy ever since his arrival here,
viii again play in Manager Lawlors
position in left field. and will retain
the position until the manager returns
TO the game.
Richmond clearly outplayed the
Grew In Thursdays game, and at sew
eral times during the eonest one single
would have decided ii in favor of the
locals. The Colts sent ninteen men To
first, and had twelve left on bases,
while the Crew sent fourteen TO first
and had FIVE left on base. Two Colts
were left on third and two on see
end.
The Norfolk club does not look
nearly as strong an has been claimed
for IL. Busch at Shortstop seems to
Ire the star OF the team. and saved
ral~stngles by fast fielding. His

They found Nertsut for five hits, but
not more than one in any one inning.
The locals found Fox tor eight hits
in the ten innings he twirIed, but
could not bunch them.
Judging from the work Of Norfolk
Ia Thursdays game, the team is not
much stronger than that OF nanville.
ana Is not as strong as the local ag-
gregation. Clarke viii evidently de-
