EVEN BREAK BEST
NINTH CAN HOPE FOR
Weak Batting Is Apparent in
Double Defeat Handed the
Churchmei at Richmond.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

With two games to be played against
| the Alcos. Richmond amateur cham
! pions. here next Saturday, the Ninth
Street Christian Church team plans a
strenuous series of workouts which will
be largely devoted to batting practice.
Should the strength of the Washington
champions be increased in this depart
ment. the best they can hope for is an
even break in the intercity series with
Richmond as the Southerners pocketed
both games of Yesterdays double bill
at Broad Street Park. Richmond,
the first game going to the Virginians
by "a, while the nIghtcap ended in an
50 whitewashing for the visitors
Those Alcos had planted two dan
gerous mines for the Washingtonians in
Pitchers Pearce and Sanderson. and
when Ninth ran onto them they ex-
ploded with dull sickening thud. In
the opener PearCe won his own game
almost single handedly. for he received
discraceful support from his hackers
who presented him with a bouquet of
eight fumbles. Despite this tendency
of Alcos TO sum-up the play, Ninth $
hitting was too miserable TO overcome
the errors. and the game slid by.
Indications of a tie were apparent in
that first game up until the seventh
stanza. Each club sent over three runs
in the third, which represented all OF
the tallies made until the seventh.
when Alec added another trio of scores.
Ninth caught its breath again in the
last. but the rally was good for but
one count
That second game in Richmond was
even more of a nightmare than the first
when Ssnderson allowed but five hits.
which scattered through as manv in
nings. The home folks cinched it in
the opening round with three runs.
Amos stopped at second after he had
scored Asher. and then TignOr. who had
tanned three times in the opener. came
through with circuit clout which went
twenty feet over the richtfield fence.
Clean hitting of Won Herbules and
CLANCY sent the other Alec runs across
in the fifth. seventh. and eighth. The
