CHAPMAN GETS HOMER
BY c. W. SWAN.

Like the old proverb of the
"Pitcher that went to the well
once too Often" Joe Boehling, the
Richmond Thunderbolt, went in
against the Cleveland Maps yester-
day, and the pitcher was broken
into something like three parts to
one. The Maps grabbed the three
parts, leaving us with the handle.
Fred Blanding opposed Boehling
OH the rubber, and this young man
twirled a mighty clever game of
ball. The Climbers got to him
for three hits, and in all just
eleven balls were hit to the out
field. Blanding was invincible in
the pinches, the Nationals lone
tally being the result of two errors.
Birmy in Game.
Dode Birmingham, the boy pilot Of the
Maps, celebrated his temperance into
the game by smacking out one safety.

The fielding feature of the afternoon
was hung up by Clyde Milan when ne
snseged Birmingham's line drive of his
shoe tops in the second inning. Milan
also cost the Nationals run when, IN
the fourth frame, with one down. he
attempted to steal home. ONeil tasgei
him out with room to spare. and then
Chick Gandil came through with
slashing single to left This would have
scored Milan and would have made Inc
count one all.
Chapman Gets Homer.
Olson opened the game with bounder
to Foster, who promptly booted 1t away.
Boehling caught Olson of first and the
Nap was an easy out, Gandil TO Nc
Bride. Chapman, however, caught one
to his liking. and away the bali sailed
over Milan's head in center held. Ine
hall rolled to the fence, and Chapman
crossed the pan before the ball was re-
layed into the infield. Jackson followed
with a single to left, and 1t looked as II

good beating, but Henry took care OF
Laioie and Turner flied out to Gandll.
Noeller walked in the Nationals half
of the first. but was left stranded on
third, as three infield taps was the pest
the top of the batting order could get.
The Maps got hit in every inning up
70 the fifth. and in this frame sent two
runs over. after the side should have
been retired. Blanding and Olson wee
easy outs. and it looked easy when Chal-
man lifted high fly to Cashion. Hush

Birmingham. Milan was safe on Chap

Gandil singled to left Had Milan re-
manned on third, he could have walked
home with the run which would have lied

Morgan ended the inning by going OF,

Again in the sixth the Nationals should
have scored more than one run. Moellar
opened the inning with a drive to Graney.
