The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-04-18
BY JAY LEWIS.

!,
Richmond plays Trenton twice this
Tuesday evening. After that the boys
of our baseball team take a day off,
and on Thursday open the regular
season with the Danviile outnt.
Which is a reminder that our ola
college friend, MIR. Wallace, should
change his sox. How are the home
fans going to tell the oluerence pe-
tween those scarlet-hosed enemies
anu a beloved nome pet In these Jays
oi new faces? Wallace may think his
face Is known to everyone ON the
home grounds but he had better best
change the sox. some day he won't
hit the ball and the fans will say:
What guy with the red legs ought
tub, and whole lot more.
Now, as You probably read in Mon
days paper, we played two games In
the forenoon with the Trenton team.
Played is good word. That tells the
story, especially as Leo Hafrord play
GU with our uemon athletes when a
hit meant runs. Leo Is some pitch
or.
Besides Leo the Trenton team has
one or two near big leaguers. Clay
i'll right field mas threatened to get
into last company and SO has Tie
meyer on third.
They are worth looking at.
But TO get back to the games.
We won one Tuesday evening and
lost one. AS some folks have asked,
how this came about, the plays are
submitted in detail.
But lest we forget. look over the
performance of Pitcher Pierce. Pierce
was there with all the p's except per-
lection. Yet ne won. Twenty-one
batters went to the plate on him, but
only thirteen faced him officially. Get
that? Well. look at the box score and
see the number of passes he issued.
Also, the sacrifice hits scored against
him.
