LANDS ON VERBOUT
FOR PRETTY HOMER
Newark shortstop Breaks Up
Well-Played Game With
4 Terrible Rap.
DROPS OVER THE FENCE
Until Then the Score Is Tied, and
Colts Have Half a
Chance.

Shortstop Louden. of the Newark
team. broke UP what had been pref
tily played and closely contested game
in Broad Street Park yesterday. when
he landed on verbout in the ninth in
ming and Knocked the ball into lot
behind one of the far-awaY fences In
left field. The homer was az pretty a
one a has ever been Knocked on the
field. and, az others OF its kind have
done, took the spectators and players
completely by surprise. Louden slid
homo. but everybody appreciated his
Joke. and his good nature renewed the
howls OF the delighted crowd.
Louden seems to have been about
the only one OF the visitors 10 take
kindly to yerbout's curves, But he be-
came acquainted in the seventh. when
he raped one for two-bagger. and
t%o rounds later, by adding little
more force, he placed his bat so tina; the
sphere would be raised 70 the REQUIRED
elevation. and 1t scared as bird over
the boards Richmond lost on Lon
denis hit, but II has become maxim
here that team capable of furnish
ing a man who can put one out of the
lot deserves a victory, no matter what
the odds are against h!= nine. Lou
denis rap was a beauty and In accom-
plish.ng ii he iEat bests all the big
leaguers that have stood With Sticks
in their hands at the home plate on
the Richmond diamond.
McGinnity Too Much.
The Colts started of like winners In
the first inning. Landgran got TO mrs,
on Louden's error, and was adVahceo
TO second on Bakers scratch punt.
Both men advanced on Wailaces sac-
rlfice. and they scored when TitmaH $
drive went through Zimmerman. bic
f;,nntty was not at fault for the runs
and in the remaining eight innings he
allowed only two hits, and tho Colts
ven, down In easy order. The Iron
Mans" rapid FIRE methods were 700
much for Lawlor and his men, VINO
seemed not to recover from one TOSS
