To the syncopated hurrahs OF a
pleased bunch of fans. the Colts yes

breeder, GALVANIZED. pirouetted and
galloped to victory over Steve Griffin's
Bugs, tallying eight time. while a Elor-
ious cipher was the nearest thing to
q count which was tied out for the
visitors during the nine sections of the
game. There were no IFS and ands or
butts in connection with the victory. 1t

From somewhere Manager Cowan
brought out brand-new kind OF bug

that Hanks is the name of the death

Hanks. who deals and cuts with his
left hand, who administered the bitter
oose TO his erstwhile playmates He
assorted his varieties some minutes
before the game being assisted by
Catcher Edwards, who at times relieves
Cowan.
Content and satisfied with his Sc
iections, he served everything 10 those

Trouble Easily Cnst Off.
On several occasions he got into
seeming trouble. but trouble to Hanks
served as an incentive to show what
he could do Steve Griffin exhorted
and pleaded, but 1t awaited nothing.
The first hole which arose was really
caused by Hanks himself 1t was in
the second assortment, and Jackson
was walked. He breezed TO second,
and Griffin beat q tap to Martin, Jack

six, had two strikes called, and then
waited for four bad ones. Counting UP

stage. with two down. Pitcher Griffin
could not resist the temptation TO
swat at three fast ones. and lust exact

The next time danger appeared was
in the seventh, when a hit by Cooper
and double by Griffin. which Wal

exactly nothing in the run getting

the good pitcher that he is. and will
be from now on. Into the fold he
goes along with the two other de-
pendabies on the Richmond slabbing
staff.
Luck Hnd Its Effect.
II all goes TO show what effect
little luck will have on the outcome
of the game. In the FIRST session Ray
Morgan, bought by Washington. hit

isn't all He bea, the throw but in
trying TO hook the bag overslld, and
Baker tagged him. OF course. this
may not have had any effect but the
probabilities and the betting are the
other way. Had Morgan been safe he
would in all Likelihood have scored
which would have given the Red Socks
The bulge, and there is nothing like
having the bulge IN a ball game. But

The Colts came strong in the opener,
and scored enough to win the game.

he beat the throw by many feet Nc
