Looks az If Richmond might take
two out Of three games from Roanoke
after all.
The Tigers. after playing two good
games. decided 1t was time they lost
again. With Cefaiu in the box they
started proceedings, Tuesday evening,
and what happened is something aw-
full to relate.
The Richmond team banged out
twenty-thrce hits. which scored just
twenty-three runs.
This is a speciality OF the Richmond
team. One day they cannot hit glass
eyed pitcher with a glass arm, the
speed Of n snail and the curves of a
straight front shirtwaist. The next
day they are slamming the slants OF
near big lesguers all over the lot.
or course the way the other fell
lows play has a lot to do with *,
but when one Richmond strong arm
ed slugger gets three home runs in a
game 1t does look as If there was
something besides baseball in the con-
test.
Three Home Runs.
MATHS, the demon hitter Of the
chocolate creams. mauled the ball
thrice Tuesday for the circuit. Mo
Cabe and Wallace also got one of the
same kind of hits. McCahe went to
the plate six times and each time he
tore off q safety, one being a homer,
as mentioned above, and another CALI
ing for two bases. Baker and Martin
got two-baggers
Roanoke did little hard hitting
also, for Shaughnessey got home
run. Shields triple and Holland a
double. Donovan. the latest left
handler picked up by Manager sulH-
van. gets the credit of winning the
game. but McCabe made enough runs
for Richmond to win.
Need Hits Later.
Fans naturally ask why Richmond
couldn't save some of those runs
spread them over two or three games.
in fact, but the answer is that Rich
mond has 70 collect the runs when
they have the chance. Later on runs
will come harder. and in the mean
time IT is wise TO cop all the hits and
runs that are possible to collect. II
will help averages later on.
As far as the story OF the game
Tuesday goes, there ia nothing TO It,
Richmond made enough runs to win
three games. and Roanoke made just
four. which Is very few in these days
