Richmond, 2; Cincinnati, 4.

After Robbins and Vordenbrg, local
slabmen, had held the speedy Cincy
Hello Boys to lone tally in the nine
frames, Richmond staged a little bat
ting rally in their part of the final
that resulted in the winning marker
being showed home. The game was
the best played here this season and
was witnessed by an estimated at
tendance of 1,4O0 rabid bugs
To Vordenburg, Quaker HEAVIER,
must go the bulk of the credit. Vordy
not only held his opponents to three
scattered hits but started the rally in
the last frame by lining out single
and then scoring the winning run a
few minutes later on Norm" Voltz
safe crack to center field. Had 1T not
been for the fact that a sizzling liner
bounded bad through Voltz, the Buck
eyes would have drawn zero as their
share of the counting.
The game was fast throughout and
something happened just about every
other minute to keep the fans on edge
Although Richmond managed to con-
meet with the slants of the Cincy hurl-
er with fair regularity, consistent work
of the visitors held the score down
Cincy fielders pulled frequent pieces
of good work while Kenney's men
kins' double play in the ninth, un-
assisted, brought big hand from the
fans while Lewis, third sacker of the
invaders nabbed liner off the bat of
Big John that was nothing short of a
crime.
Richmond's first tally came in the
third. Although the Quakers had
threatened in the previous innings,
nothing in the scoring line had re-
suited Mccain, first man up, con-
nected for a safe one to right field.
Voltz dumped pretty sacrifice down
the third base line. just missing the
bag himself: Merkle received free
transportation as a recompense for
being hit in the Stats. Then NOvack
lifted sky chaser over second and as
there were two men out Mccain
trotted across the plate. Whether the
SUN or just plain "buckague" bothered
the Cincy keystone custodian, the ball
descended to earth with thud while
the Cincy players said things inappro-
pirate to a Sunday gathering. Pop
kins popped.
The Hello Boys garnered their lone
marker in the fifth. Louis started the
proceedings by Shaping one to Len
niger, who fooled the sphere long
enough to let "Looey" gain the initial
sack. Louis did not remain on this
sack long, stealing second a minute
later. Then Robertson, who had done
nothing previous in the batting line
with the exception of lot Of ex
pressions as to the ability of the Rich
mond batters, connected with one OF
Nordenburg's cuts and the sphere shot
off in the direction of VoltZ. The liner
