CANADIANS WIN CAME
THROUGH HARD SWATS
Colts Garry Fifty Per Cent of the Victories in the Series With
the Champions of the International League
Score Is Seven to Five

Toronto came back at the Colts yes-
terday Although the comeback was
not so much of a one at that
Some how or other the local hits
came at inopportune times, and cut
little figure in the score getting.
While Richmond shows eleven hits
with five runs, Just three of those
hits really figured as run-getters. Er-
rors contributed.
On the other hand, the heavy swats
of the Canaucks contributed TO their
victory No less than four three-bag-
gers added to the temperament OF the
crowd, which shivered and shook as
it tried to tell Mr. Lucia TO hurry
the game along
The result OF the series with the
champ ions of the International is en-
tirely satisfactory 10 the local fans,
for the Colts get so per cent of the
games played. And that is going
some.

both men down; Raley ran TO the res
cue and hit for two good ones, scoring
the men ahead of him; PieZ safed on

the plate making the three runs, while
White famed.

to relieve the situation, but the best
that could be done was "A single by
White. who died at second on the
