RICHMOND WINS A
PITCHERS BATTLE
Turner Pulls Off Ty Cobb
Stuff in Ninth and Brings
Home the Victory.
Richmond, 2; Miamisburg, 1.

Richnond, z; Miamisburg, I.
One of the fastest and prettiest
games which the local fans have been
privileged to see on a Richmond dia-
mond was yesterdays contest in which
the Quaker City youths snatched vic
tory from the Buckeye aggregation in
the ninth inning, winning the game by
the close score of to l.
At the last of the ninth the score
stood l to 1.
Turner, the little catcher for the To-
Gals, who had his finger broken in the
first game of the season was sent in
the game in the last inning by Mana
ger Jimmy Braxton to WELD the stick
for Seated, whose batting had been
below the average. Turner used his
eye, letting WiIliamson's bad ones go
by and spelling the good ones, with
the result that he was given free trans
portation to first. Once on first and it
was all off, for Turner twice committed
grand larceny, stealing second and
then stealing third. Powell, the Qua
ker's first sacker then stepped to the
pan, getting hit and bringing Tur-
ner in home.
The 1900 bugs in attendance went
wild. Hats were thrown in the air,
heels kicked together and a roar of
victory shattered the atmosphere. AS
long as the Richmond team plays the
class of ball it did Sunday it will have
the entire support of the local fans.
From start to finish the game was
fast. For a while it looked dark for the
locals. Miamisburg got a marker in
the third, Behringer getting the hon
ors, and Richmond got its first tally
in the eighth, Feldhaus bringing in the
bacon. Richmond then took the field
and Miamisburg failed to send a man
arount the paths. 1t was then that the
ever eager Turner was told to bat for
Schattel.
Schattels.fielding was as good if not
better than expected and when the
sphere was sent into his domain, as
well as that of the other outfielders, it
was good for an out. But when he
came to the bat he struck at every
thing and Williamson refused to put
even one over the pan, while Roy re-
fused to allow any out-curves to get
by without striking at them.
Williamson was weak at times and
exceedingly wild at others. More than
one of his pitched balls went clear of
the pan by several feet and it kept
Shelby, his receiver, busy guessing
where he would have to be, in order to
catch the next pitched ball. Once Will
hanson hit the wire netting in the
grand stand, the ball being thrown
over the batter's head.
Belts, on the other hand, put it over
and depended upon his support. which
was thrown to Powell the runner was
out. Powell demonstrated his ability
as a ball player yesterday, repeating
his work in the opening game here two
weeks ago He is the best first base
man who has ever played on Rich
mond team.
The entire team gave it's best sup
port to Belts, DOC" Martin, and Supp,
second and short stop, respectively,
drew repeated applause from the fam
dom. Martin was given an ovation ev-
erytime he came to bat. Supp lined
one out above the center fielder's head,
almost hitting the north fence of the
park and tried to make it good for a
three Dagger. However, as he slid for
third Flaherty nailed him. Supp and
Turner were practically the only men
who were not afraid of soiling their
suits.
Miamsburgssupported Williamson in
superb form.
