Petersburg, Va. July 5.-When the
game between the Coolers and the
Colts came to an end this afternoon.
AFTER two hours and nifty golden m n
utes had been consumed, Richmond
had tumbled from tie for third place
In the pennant race, to a coy berth
Just above the cellar champions This
precipitous flight was caused by the
third defeat of the week at the hands
of Heinie Busch. the score of the anal
: game being A.
Busch took absolutely no chances
and in the sixth inning waved Larry
Hannlfan TO the bench because he
showed signs of weakening, even
though he had allowed but one hit
In the entire six frames. and had
clouted the ball for home run ov r
ieft field fence. Bruckmiiler was sent
In TO finish the inning. with one down
and with Maths on third. He helped
the visitors from the north side of the
James by making a nice little balk.
Just when 1t was most needed, scoring
Maths through his eraciousness and
advancing Martin, who had walked aid
stolen second, from that sack 10 the
third station. from where he scored
when Busch came in like a torrent in
order to get the Richmond shortstop
at the plate on hard drive from
Cowan's lat. He failed in the attempt.
and the run counted and Cowan
breathed on first Pritchard was
called in from left at the beginning
OF the seventh, Hamilton taking his
place. The eX-Tger held the Colts
scoreless.

same inning. just after Hannifan had
been relieved. Bruckmiller was warm

ball over TO Busch. who threw him
out at first Finn called Martin hack,
claiming that he had no right to strike

Notwithstanding the fact that the
game went long over the allotted time
and kept many away from their even

the game was won, and Keliher was
the man who broke it UP by pounding

Neither team was able to hit safely
for four innings. AS matter of fact.
all of the runs for the Colts came as
gift offerings, and. while errors flg-
ured throughout the contest. not n

Colt lineup was again weak eped
through the absence OF Baker. who

proud at second. The makcshift or
