WHERE THEY PLAY MONDAY.
Richmond mt Petersburg.
Roanoke nj Danvi!lc.
Norfolk at Lynchburs.

In spite OF wildness that would
have made mountain goat look like
sheep or raging lion look like a
Iap-dog. Gus salye broke Richmond's
losing streak yesterday afternoon. and
thing in the world but hits, took the
last game of the week by the score OF
2 to /. Incidentally. Lloyd. of Lynch
burg. was as embarrassed as min
Ister's son at performance of .-lhe
Blue Mouse" and was easy to find all
the way through.
The hrst game, of course, went to
the I.ynchburgers, who took advantage
OF a bunch OF errors By Morrissey and
played with the Colts as Daniel played
with the lions. In tina, game the
Colts never had a look-in. and when II
even seemed as II they were about
TO take peep anyhow. big dash OF
enthusiasm on the part of some base
runner or bit OF fanwork on the
part OF a batter would shut the peep
hole and put a stop to all activity
Then Lynchburg would take advan-
1age of something. and in two in
stances a runner galloped home bear
ing large wads and hunks of bacon.
Saiyc Too wild.
The second game, which looked so
all-hred good to the Richmond fans.
looked like sick kitten In the first
inning. and the crowd groaned tumult-
uousiy. Salve In that inning was as
wild as buck, and didn't seem TO be
able to improve. He had the backing
of a Mathewson, however, and the day
was saved by the fielders until Salvs
could be got within bounds. In that
first inning four men took whacks al
the ball without being officially AT
bat" and one run came home.
The ball started with Hoffman, the
first man up. and. before he could
train his eye over the plate, salve had
walked him. p. Smith came next with
hunt dropped right on the hearth
rug that killed the batter, but pushed
norman to second. Rowe pulled out
free pass the next moment, and on a
wild pitch HoffmanIwent to third base.
IA Smith came next with long fly to
Wallace, and before it could be re-
turned, Hoffman was safe at home.
Rowe was killed trying to steal sec
ond, and the inning closed
Came Back to Earth.
Then Salye began to show signs or
coming back to solid earth. and in the
next inning famed two men and
KILLED another on a long fly, In that
same inning the Colts woke up and
began to do things with Lloyd.
First came Wallace with base on
balls and before he had settled him
self comfortably on the sack Titman
had scratched, and Wallace had to hot
foot 1t to second to keep from being
thrown out Smith tried to get him,
but failed. and both men were safe
on a tielder's choice.
Both runners moved up on Land
CRAFTS sacrifice, and before the
4 Lynchburgers knew What had hap
pened Wallace had passed the third
sack and scored on the same play
Then Messitt clouted out safety and
Titman scored. Salve scratched out
but there on the score board We're two
Justly young tallies, and 1t looked as
break.
After the lead had been taken from
I,ynchburs the Colts had the morta
lock, and proceeded to play rings
around the visitors No more runs
were brought In, but half a dozer
clouts that should have been hits
were stopped in midair and handled
to the taste Of the fairest Fanny o.
them all The Richmond outfielders
were particularly on the Job, and eacf

that looked good for at least two bags
The First Game.
The first game belonged to Lynch,
burg from the first jump into the pit

game had been played for some time

own way before and after, and the,

one hit and two errors by Morrisse!

stacked coin on the Colts. After tina
mi Inning the Colts didn't see who wa
playing. and when they did get
t glimpse 1t was only of dying heels ant
M swinging bats. ii
Morrissey was primarily resp onsibl
for losing his game, and although n
d heaved rather heftily oil through tn
game, he had to contend with Nor

was too much for him, The rataltt,
