outer works were kept guessing as
10 whore the next wallop would land.
In sheer Kindness TO James and IN
memory OF what he has done in the
past. Manager Griffin hoisted him in
the fourth after five tallies had been
chased across, and substituted Harold
Griffin. Harold Griffin and james
Vance have come to be known as the
perpatetic members OF Richmond's
tlinging stan. When they are not oc-
cupyiug the hill. they are being walk
co to cover. At any rate, Harold was
molested nearly as often as James.
OF the two, Harold is entitled to the
credit of doing the better work, which
shoUlc act as some kind of balm to
his injured feelings.
After disposng OF the Tigers in the
fourth Harry got along famously until
the seventh, when young Goalby pricd
himself loose from a thrcc-ply jam. and
Buck Pressly, manager of the Roanoke
jungle clan, produced a ono base Knock.
such a combination is usually fruitful
and produced again yesterday. one
more came in the ninth, though Harry
can hardly be blamed for that one, be-
cause Doc Newton made another OF
his famous hcaVcs, which let the same
GOalby trot all the way from the start
ing point TO third, when he should have
been retired. His boss drove him in

If there was n rcdecuing feature to
tho game ii was that II was played
quickly. Never have the locals appear
ed TO such DISADVANTAGE. They We're
listless and the speed that has won so
many games earlier in the season was
lacking. OF course. much OF this can
bc attributed To the poor pitching. No
club can look good, as we have opincd
before, when the chuckers are going
bad. Two GOOD plays marked tho con
test Enough one was due largely Ia
luck. Bill Laval helped in a double
play in the second, when he caught
Summcrss ny and nailed Maths off
first Oh the same play The hit-and-
run was on, which made II easier
Ducky EbcrtS caught ono In the sixth
knocked by Welsher, that gave the
crowd a chance TO yell 1t was on his
shoe tops. and he did a Brodie in max
ing the capture. Aside from these two
silence breakers. the game developed

With Abe Wclshcr showing him the
way, Tolson pitched his best game Of
the season. while Harry Griffin and
jim Vance failed to show anything
really worth while. and We're easy for
Roanoke. Some little fun VAS added
TO the game when n part of the crowd
on the east blcachcrs jumped over the
fence and helped Ralcy try to catch
Ncwtons hcavc in the ninth.
In parting, a word TO the fans who
infcst those same east blcachers I'm
less they are able To show better dis
positions and are willing to help the
club along when IL is IN rut. the
management would do well TO ask them
to stay at home They pay 10 or 10
cents to gct III the park and try get
ting their moneys worth by abusing
everybody The real fans do not en-
JOY IL. and il does not help the club 10

policy, 1t might be well for the man
aEcmcnt to request q few of the platoon

to seat themselves along the right field
