three arrived in the ninth In the
meantime, Grin's toilcrs had knotted
the count in the first, but after that
they couldn't be found except with a
searchlight. So far as the defense Of
the locals is concerned. small fault can
be found with it, but no eight men can
possibly stop the bombardment of
thirteen-inch guns. MIR. Vance couldn't
impede the invading gunners; he
couldn't even cause them TO tarry along
the way. They started with Mere
dith rush. and finished with the
strength OF a Johnny Hayes
The one really bright thing about it
all was that Frank Norcum kept them
hustling TO such good effect that II
was all finished in ono hour and thirty
eight minutes. An umpire is working
pretty good when he can send every
body home shortly after o'clock. even
though a total of twenty four hits and
twelve runs is strung up.
Richmond showed a horrible lack Of
pitching strength. Vance was as in
effective as tissue barricade against
howitzers. lie had nothing save
weakly curved ball. and the batter was
always waiting for it when il came
over He lacked the control which
usually makes him effective, and per-
formed so lstlessly that the crowd re-
scnted his performance. II may be that
would he an alibi Otherwise he had
about the worst day ever experienced
Gy pitcher in the Virginia League.
The actual number Of hits fails to
tell how severely he was punished
Time and again the sphere was driven
far aiield. and only the cleverest kind
OF fielding retrieved the pellet Piez.
Eherts and Laval were literally run of
their feet covering fly balls or relaying
sale knocks To the fence.
Buck Barton chucked only fair ball
He was not hit hard, but showed
streaks of wildness which might have
cost him the game but that the team
behind him was scoring runs SO fast
mat anything he did failed to count
against him. The two runs made by
the Ciriffmen in the first inning were
scored without hit Barton started
| the itrst with pass to Newton. and the
duet was completed on errors by Chas-
tant and Quinn. Buck likewise helped
over the second with a wild pitch com
