was neid00 py the otner 0FiIln al
time to prevent tally.
The Danvilie boys vera having
hard time getting to Hanks The
peppery Mr.. Griffin danced around
the coaching line at third. exhorting
his followers. but up TO the sixth they
did not have q look-in.
Richmond, too, although landing
on Griffin's shoots, did not drive them
safe in anything like consecutive or
der, and the game went on with lit
tie action.
Baker made a pretty stop off Schra-
der in the sixth, and though the ball
bounded out Of his hands, fast
throw beat the swift first baseman to
the bag. Then Jackson singled to
left and stole second. Griffin, how
bed and Johnny followed this up by
tossing out Smith at first.
Wallace, when the Colts came in
TO bat, smacked ID hot single down
the third base line into left fiele.
Martin smashed one almost in the
same place. but Griffin grabbed 1t and
tossed Wallace out at second. Then
Mr.. MATHS banged the first ball for a
double to left. and Wee Willum fol-
lowed his example with Il single to
right Two runs came In and Man
ager George went up to the plate.
'Iet George do IT." yelled fan,
but George flew out to left and Wee
Willie narrowly escaped being dou-
bled at first, for he had started for
second at the crack OF the bat and
ball.
McCarthy's throw, however. was
poor and Baker went to second,
where he was left when Morgan threw
out Hanks
t1h
Priest in the seventh as a starter. Me
Carthy fouled out TO Cowan. Griffin
hit long liner to center field that
Wallace made a great try for. but
missed. Cooper made third on 1t.
and Griffin second. Morgan came
up. but the best he could do was a
high foul to Cowan. and when Kauf-
man hit to Baker and died at first
Hanks looked good to win shut-out
game.
In Richmond's half Dobson made
first on an infield hit. Griffin took
Priests bounder and. although john
ny beat the ball, Flynn called him
out McCabe came up and got
single. which would have scored Dob
son had he not feared that Jackson
would get under the fly. Wallace
popped out TO Schrader. and McCabe
drew throw from Smith to Cooper.
Dobson dashed for home, but Coop
er's throw was fast and Flynn de-
ciared pobson out although he GER
| tainlg looked safe enough.
Priest and Dobson took care of
Schrader. Martin threw out Jack
son. Griffin got in the way of the
/ ball again--he had performed the
trick IN the fourth. Flynn called q
strike on him and Foxy Steve finally
flew out to Maths.
Martin fattened his batting aver
age with a single to left. He would
have stole second. only Maths fouled
| off high one and then struck out
Baker. however, smashed out a sin
gle and Martin went to third, where
! he watched Baker steal second on
short throw. Cowan dumped one in
front of the plate and Martin slid
under Smith. who took the toss from
Harry Griffin. Hanks then laid down
a bunt and was safe, Harry Griffin
doing pivot act. not knowing where
to throw until too late.
| The bags We're full when Dobson

and Cowan. Hanks. however, was
caught between bases. Dobson making
