THEIR TEETH, But THE

To A DEFEAT.
Ey HARRY TUCKER.

Richmond fans have not seen u more
interesting bail game for years than
that pulled off yesterday afternoon at
Lee park.
The contest was full of pretty plays
and the players used their gray mat
ter ut every point, so that rfle fan, and
there were about twelve hundred of
him present, could expect no more.
Flies that looked safe, and grounders
that appeared to be out of reach OF
the infieid, were moved down Ike fod-
der in the fall after frost creeps IN and
the pumpkins are ripening for Thanks
giving Day
There was no frost. however, in tics
game. II was one of the hottest that
ever came down the pike, and the ola
fans, some of whom hadn't been to see
game since Charlie Ferguson and
Billy Nash worked for Richmond. just
chawed the atmosphere with words n
dicative of their JOY at seeing the Rebs
take a game that might have gone the
other way.
Savage Filipinos.
In the first place that Filipino out
field ate tip everything that went tiite
the hot atmosphere surrounding the
park Beswick almost climbed the
fence once. and Brown grabbed ny
that looked impossible.
Warren tuggled two or three which
would have amounted to nothing any
how, but he did grab in a liner ground
err that was good for rwo bags. 1t
wasn't good for anything after ne
swallowed 1t. and the man who scam
pered down was duped out OF clean
hit.
Then on the other hand the Rebs
mad a few rhings UP their sleeves.
They cut down everything in signt.
Blue faltered once. in Letting Hughes
get by him to second. bur he revenEed
himself moment later by mailing aim
at third, when he attempted to go
down
O'Hafe did some tall sprinting at one
time. but at another he had no occa-
sion to move from his tracks. Bohan-
nan was alert, and nothing passed him.
Shorty Was Responsible.
But after all ii must be admitted
that Shorty Lothrop was mainly re-
sponsible for the victory And here ia
how it all happened:
, Johns was a little wild in the FIRST.
and Prout walked. Tom O'Hare sac
friiced. and Prout went to third on
Adler's out at first.
Mcfarland rushed TO the rescue at
this point and pushed a pretty single
out into right field upon which Prout
scored. Then Bohannon died on n long
fy TO centre which gave the fans lit
tie heart-disease. because 1t looked like
a three Dagger. But Roney was john
ME on the Spot, and Bo died. That
was one run TO the good.
For the three successive innings
there was nothing doing, although tie
Rebs caught two more hits, one OF
then for two bags.
But here is where the game was
WON;
Winning Of the Game.
Lothrop safed on Warrens tumble
Of his hot grounder. Prout hit johns
IN rhe NIT, ard the latter to get even
landed tothrop at second, O'Hare
pushed long one out toward the fencs
for two bags. and Prout took third.
Adler showed high ay toward Ash
land, but the ever-present Beswick
was there after a long sprint and
killed the chance. That made rwo TO
the bad.
But 1t was not altogether to the bad.
for Prout beat the ball TO the plate.
and then Mcfarland was nailed by
Brown
The Filipinos got nothing but two
hits up to the eighth. In that innirs
Fowler started of with a two-sacKsr.
Here lis our lucky inning" shouted
secretary Mccullough.
Brouthers went out TO O'Earc, and
Beswick singled. That made one run.
Gloom spread all over Secretary Nc
Cullough AT this point. for the next
two UP struck out.
The aRehs could do nothing In thar
eighth. Mccullough still 'ad 'opes. He
shouted to Warren to do something.
Warren started in TO bunt with the
hope Of being able TO beat 1t out. Hotf-
man laid for him and caught a little
bingle fly Roney and Brown famed.
and that was all. Here is the score.
