BY "CURLEY" BYRD.
Putting up a better article of ball than
1t has shown at any time since the start
of the post-season series. the Cornell
Company team overwhelmed the Aioysius
club yesterday in a game featured by
the heavy hitting of the Cornell nine by
the score of IL to 1. The contest was q
surprise to the several hundred specta-
tors who had journeyed out to the park
with the expectation OF seeing one OF
the best games OF the season.
The fact that the Cornell team hit at
opportune moments and scored runs al
most at will caused the work of Rich
mond to be little unnoticed. but to him
should go a great deal of credit for the
victory, as he was invincible at all stages
of the contest. There never was a mo-
ment when the Aloysdus club had
chance to get runs across the plate ex-
cept once, and that was In the sixth. but
Richmond frightened up and allowed but
one tally. Two errors In succession at
another stage of the game put two
Aloysius men on the bags, but there was
nothing doing in the way of runs.
Richmond mad one of the best curve
balls working that has been seen at
Capital City Park this year: He had
backs gong after 1t in nearly every In
ming. Richmond threw very few fast
balls: in fact, 1t is doubtful IL he tossed
twelve straight balls during the entire
game. 1t was a spitbail and curve
straight through. and the combination
seemed unhittable as far as Aloysius was
concerned. Coupled with the curves tnat
Richmond had, he was master OF the ball
from the start. having perfect control
and not giving a walk. But four hits
were garnered by the churchmen In the
entire nine innings.
Same Twirlers Used.
Just as was expected. both Aloysius and
Cornell sent the same two twirlers back
on the mound who worked In the game
yesterday. Richmond rlade good. and did
even better work than he did in yester-
days contest; but Lynch was not so
fortunate. The Georgetown boy who
made the Cornell batters look like school,
boys yesterday did not have the stun on
the ball he did then. and in the second
inning he was taken out Of the box anu
replaced by Hummer. who failed to do
any better than had Lynch.
1t was an error more than anything
else which proved the undoing OF Lynch.
In the second inning the first man up.
Marceron. was out. third to first, Rich
! mond walked, King was hit by pitched
ball. Baggette singled and Edmonston
doubled. scoring Richmond and King:
Mullin struck out, Moran walked and
wilkinson dropped Handiboe's easy ny to
left. Lynch walked Macdonald and he
was then yanked out and Bob kummcr
was substituted. He retired the side
without further hits. Lynch started the
game as though he were going to pitch
the same kind OF game that he did
Yesterday The first two Cornell men
UP i'm the first inning hit safely, but the
Aloysius boy settled down and retired the
s,, oN1o a n
score.
brennan seemed to be the only
Aloysius man who could connect to any
degree Of consistency with Richmonds
curves. He landed two clean hits out
of four times at bat. He was the hrst
man up in the fourth and he drove the
ball on a line over the left helders
head against the fence but was thrown
out trying to stretch the hit into
Dagger Again in the seventh he
lined the bail out over the third oaee-
mans head for a single.
Several switches were made in the
Aloysius team at different periods DUR
ing the game in an effort 70 strengthen
the team'ss play, but IL seemed TO work
worse with each shift.
Scores First In Second.
The Cornell team began Its scoring
in the second when on four hits. bats
ter hit and three passes 1t tailied four
times. Bob Hummer held the Paper
hangers safe In the next session. but
in the fourth three more bingles and
a balk scored two more runs. Another
run was scored in the sixth on three
successive errors. Three hits and
two errors gave the Cornell team two
more tallies in the eighth. and In the
ninth two more runs were chased
across the plate on three hits -and an
error.
Afoysius scored its lone tally in the.
sixth, when brennan hit safely after
Tayler had flied out to Moran. and scored
on successive hits by Hurley and Sui
Ivan. 1t was practically the only inning
i'm which the Churchmen had an oppor-
tunity to make runs enough to give them
chance.
The heavy hitting OF the Cornell team
and the pitching of Richmond were the
only features Of the game. The Paper
hangers had no trouble connecting with
the ball at any stage OF the game. and
when hits were needed they were made.
The club also played a better defensive
game than II has In any OF the other
contests.
Errors helped the Cornell team to tally
several Of its runs. the Aloyaus aggre-
gaefon having eight miscues chalked up
against II. Hines, at short, was the chief
offender, he letting three easy ground
ers roll between his legs at critical mo-
ments. Greer and Wilkinson also made
disastrous misplays. The score:
