-h!oi!zo Sook, A ry-.elnpered young
man. who has been playing excellent
bail for Billy Jordan and his New York
club. yesterday furnished thu chief
sport OF the afternoon, trying 10 emu
late Tyrus Georgia Peach Cobb though.
instead OF venting his spleen aga rst
4 spectator, he made Jumps Cullen the
butt. OF his unseerniy practical joke,
as Jumps Cullen will testify.
Naturally it all happened because
the ReDS won another from the BronX-
Vile patriots. though the game was
i'ies's most mighty wallop back into
the class with an infants harmless tap.
Cook damned one across after the last
man had been called out in the ninth.
and everybody was homeward bound
with thoughts OF the evening meal up
permost and pleasant retgospec;
that Richmond was 10 on the right
side of the scorcboard. which very
nearly put Cullen down for the count.
Cook was the last man up in the
ninth. There was Gribb!n on second
base. ready to score should Cook de-
liver The count stood two balls and
two strikes. putting the batter in The
hole. Then Cook hit what looked to
many 10 be foul, but TO Umps Gull I'm
1t looked fair. Bert Blue hurled to Pat
Bohannon, ana the game was over, with
the score standing already neE-
toned. 1t was then that Cook dcliv-
ered the Johnsonian punch which cost
him 50 and his job. Cullen had turned
to leave the grounds alter some heated
argument when the clout was sent
home.
Cooks onenss was inexcusab BILE. for

prize ring Of the bail field. The young
ster was arrested and haled before
Magistrate Puryear the hurry trial be-
ing necessary in order TO allow the
New Workers to catch the $40 train
home. Cullen was forgiv!ng. and Cook
himself was thoroughly penitent, but a
trlile TOO late.
The ball game itself was a pretty
exhibition. The Knickerbockcrs stead
led after the wavering OF the day be-
fore, put up something like a real arr
ticle OF ball, and garnered three TALES
IN the opening round. which stood up
Tor them until the fourth. when the
Rebs tied It up. Still looking for vic
tory the Gothamites snatched another
from the count tree in the fifth. and
not until the eighth were they headed.
The Rebs then pushed two across.
which ended the lighting.
The three runs for Jordan's crowd
happened as 4 result of pass issued
by shorty I.a;hrop. who was again
given a chance 10 win. misjudged lily
which was misjudged Just enough BY
| Patsy Bohannon to make it count as
the scratchiest kind OF a hit. and
Wahis fence-raiser over right.
The second count also came from
what should not have been. Shorty
hit Hope. and Cook was safe on an
other blundar by Bohannon. Freyer
sacrificed perfectly. and rather than
take chances on Frank Bruggy, Blue
made Lathrop issue a deliberate pass.
Wahl was given the same medicine, and
the forced run came over.
With the score standing to ::
, against him. Newman substituted him
SELF for Lathrop after Hoffman had
fouled out in the eighth. Tn, doughty
manager won a pass from Hope, went
10 third on BIZ Prouts second double
of the game. and scored when O'Hare
laid one down the first base line, Prout
going 10 third. SoX pulled off Il neat
squeeze. and Prout scored with the
winning run
Aside from Wallis home run. there
were no particularly brilliant features.
with the possible exception OF F-rayer's
catch OF Prouts drive in the opener
with his gloved hand. The Rebs de-
serve a world of credit for their game
