steadiest Fingers on Bill Phillips crew
of indianapolis Feds, journeyed to our
fair hamlet yesterday, accompanied by
Ditch Miller, a former Quaker, and
seven other gentlemen claiming the
game of baseball as one of their accom-
plishments After nine innings of bat
tie, during which time Link suffered
the humiliation of having one of his
curves biffed to the clubhouse by Pat
Cushing, the Reserves left again for
the Capital City carrying the zero
part of a 6-to-0 coat of whitewash.
The game was fast and interesting
throughout. From the start it was
evident that the game would resolve
itself into a pitchers battle Ludwig,
who graced the mound for the home
boys, was touched up for quintet
of hits, while the best that kenney's
stickers could do amounted to four,
one of them a three-bagger and an
other fourbase clout.
Reserves Bobble.
Although Richmond took the game
by one-sided score, this was because
the breaks were always with the Qua
kers. The visitors generously bobbled
when errors meant disaster, and Rich
mond generally hits when hits counted,
Burns was the chief offender of the
Capital City outfit kindly giving the
Quakers a run now and then, while
Link presented Richmond with two
runs when he threw the ball away,
trying to catch Ludwig mapping at
third in the third verse.
RichmOnd's runs happened this way:
First ROund-McCann was safe on
Burns error: Merkle walked. Novak
sacrificed. then POpkins hit one to
Bauman, who whipped the sphere
home. cutting off Mccain at the plate
Popkins then got too big lead, and
Miller whipped the pill down to Con-
naughton, who, with the help Of Hart
managed to run Pop down while Mer-
kle was crossing the plate. The Wis
itors protested. but Lally was obdu-
rate. One run. No hits.
Third Round-Ludwig singled to
center; Mccain sacrificed; Burns
juggled Merkle's grounder a bit too
long, and threw the ball into the
bleachers for good measure, Ludwig
and Mccain each taking a sack on
the gift Then Link showed his kindly
disposition by heaving the ball past
the third baseman, allowing both
Quakers to score. Two runs. One hit.
Fifth Round ushings staged his

cupying the paths, Pat tapped one of
Links offerings, and the bal started
for the clubhouse. Ludwig (no rela-
ton TO our pitcher) gave one look at
the speck in the sky and then turned
and ran. The ball dropped within a
few feet of the clubhouse, giving Pat
time enough to ambl4 around the
bags in grand order. Besides the hon
or, Pat will receive five iron men
from the Hoover-Bond company for
his mighty deed
Sixth Round-Merkle scratched;
NOvy popped and then John PopkinS,
who was in no genial frame of mind
for some reason or other Che famed
several times Yesterday, connected
with one Of Link S assortment. and
Ludwig got another good workout
chasing the ball. The hit went for
three sacks. Meter sacrificed, and
then Lennger lifted one to Enmert
in right field, who fooled. allowing
Pop to cross the rubber Two runs.
Two hits.
AS to the visitors scoring activities.
few lines will suffice. In but two
frames, the first and fourth, did they
get near the home plate. Things look
ed anything but optimistic for the
home team in the initial stanZa after
Bauman had doubled and gained third
on Harris out. Merkle, however ended
the rally by nabbing a near Texas
Lacquer after a hard sprint. Two in
the fourth gave promise of MARKERS
but Ludwig soon clamped down and
the side retired peacefully with men
perched on second and third. The
score.
