PORTSMOUTH WINS /
IN FINAL GAME
Continued From First Page.)


fielding witnessed here this season.
Bill Howedell, at third, and Cook, al
short. with Evans at second, nipped
prospective hits timo and again. The
eight left moored on the corners tell
the story of game nearly won.
The lone score was started by Her.
bert who hit John Mace in the ribs
in the third. While Connie Bresna-
han was grounding out. second to
irst John went to second from where
he deposited his blue chip on Bill
Lavals double. Somehow or other
those Colts were unable to gather
their bingles in succession. Many
times the frame started well enough
only to leave u hard wording young
ster out on the sands, far from home
Raley struck out in the second, but
1t was on wild pitch, and he got to
first. Could he advance Well. NOT
so you could notice it Duckv Eberta
struck out. Newton was just as easy
and Ven1ble was even easier. In tina
fourth Raley led with a safe lab, maxi
ing his second arrival at first. This
time he was pushed as far as third,
but 1T took double by Doc Newton
to turn the trick Hero were two on
and only one out. Yet neither Ven
able nor Mace was able to send the
leather to safety
Just to give complete report OF
other wasted opportunities, Charlie
strain pried the nth open with HE,
and actually stole second. He STAYED
there while Brcsrahan, Laval and Pic5
were giving up the ghost. John RaIey
added his second smite in the sixth;
opening that round. and was helped
along by Cookies boot on Newton's
ripping groundcr. Only ono was out,
but Howcdell grabbed Venable.s
knock, touched Raley as he was COM
ing into third and completed tho
double play by stopping Buck at frat.
Mace Hits for Triple.
Mace raised the curtain in the
stretch period with a healthy wallop
and things looked cheerful Charlie
Strain, hitting at the first ball over,
sent loft out to Tenant Bresnahan
hit down third base to the waiting
glove of HowedcIl and forced Mace
Lavafs fly to Boyd ended the round.
John Mace. had no been In condition,
could have scored In the ninth, when,
with two out. he hit to centre, where
Spider Boyd misjudged the fly and tho
ball rolled to the clubhouse. but John
had to pull up at third, and Strain
was unable to count him.
Even after losing the game. making
the score in the ten games played be-
tween the two clubs six for Richmond
and four for Portsmouth. the only
criticism that can be made Is that
Portsmouth should be higher in the
standing column IL the Pirates always
put up the article of ball they have
displayed here. Bill Howedell Is the
best third baseman in the league. and
Cook will give Heinie Busch a run for
shortstop honors. while big Bill Evans,
at second, actually cuts up at that
place. making many of the youngsters
look slow. The series is all over, and
we would not repine. II we had to
lose. Lee Garvin is as good sportsman
TO lose to as there Is in the organiza-
ton.
In the two games credited to Ports
mouth there is nothing in the way OF
an excuse left. They beat us, beat us
by playing the best game. just as we
won by outhitting the Garvinians In
the middle encounter. Look at the
