Richmond simply wasn't 1t yester-
day with the Roanoke Tigers. Buck
Pressley.s men out-hit. out-fieIded
! and out-speeded the Grifinites and
wallcping them to the tune Of 8 to
J.. LATHE Jonny Green, as fine a young
pitcher as ever was seen. officiated
In the leading role of Colt tanner
Catcher L.afifte conyalesced from
his relapse of yesterday and was in
the game wi Il the vim of a fiy-swat-
ter He swatted some at that, bang
ing the bali for single, q triple and
double and then flying out to left
field in his nnai appearance lat the
bat. He had his lamps on the ball
Afd-they were burning bright all
right
Young Mr. Shields was also some
demon ciouter. After floating one to
center in the first he raped out
three pretty little singles or ono for
each time he appeared and put a run
across TO his credit.
On the Richmond side OF the line
up Mr. Charles Strain was the cynos-
ure of all eyes. like tho pride at the
wedding and the waiter at the chill
dren's festival Mr.. Strain started
out in left feid. the pasture which
should be occupied by Reckless
Matty Maths. Mr.. Strawn showed
his ability a. a finished gardener and
when Manager Steve Grimm kicked
himself out Of the game in the third
Mr.. Strawn. that Is. Strain. went TO
second Lase. when the fourth opened.
Mr.. Grimm was not missed at all a.
far as fielding Is concerned and prob
ably not at all as batsman,
Mr.. Gffffnss kick WAS too ieng sas-
tanned to suit the inaprte and most
of the fans He surely had reason
TO give Mr.. Mcbride the questioning
eye, for that worthy couldn't seem to
Knags Perryman's shoots. but he kept
IL up overtime
II IL said that a smaft boy threw
n pop bottle AT Mcbride and hit him
on the hoof after the game was over
There have been worse umpires than
Mcbride in Broad street park. al
though the Jerseyman WAS FAR from
perfect yesterday. but there was no
call for Grimm to get himself sent
to the club house.
Bussey went to left fieid In Strain 5
place and Strain. A. related, went in
and played second just a. IL he had
played there all HIS life. Grimm
might have been taking Lou Castro's
advice. to yet out OF the lineup and
joketD
The whole fact OF the matter is it
wasn't possible for Richmond to win
with Green pitching great ball, un-
hitable inthe pinches and the Tigers
finding Perryrnan just when they
needed hits. Perry man Ia said to be
a great pitcher. Griffin ought to
know. for Perryman has worked for
him In Danviile. When It comes down
TO knowing what a picher can do
Griffin is usually quite right He
may be a little orugh on his men
at times, but he knows Nball play
