Bill Otey. ann erstwhile light of the
Central league and E. Nordenburg
staged a pretty pitchers battle at Ath-
letic park yesterday, afternoon in the
fast time of one hour and sixteen
minutes during which Richmond col
,ected three hits and as many runs
while the DAYTON Irish were amassing
similar number of hits but nary
score.
Otey displayed fine form and should
have deserved a better fate. OF the
three hits chalked up against him by
the Ouakers, at least two OF them were
questionable. While his team mates
showed flashes of good ball, they did
not furnish the backing that allows
finger to win against teamsthat mas
an equally good server.
Nordenburg on the other hand was
there at all times and at all places.
While touched up rather frequently
but three Dayton cracks went sa1e
Eordy breezed but two batsmen yes
terday Gan unusually small number for
that gentleman). He however did a
land office business in the field &C
cepting nine chances. In the p1nclres,
and there were quite few, Nordy S
characteristic good luck pulled him
through.
1t happened this way:
As They Played.
First-Munch grounded, Cushing TO
Popkins, Gabler singled to left center
but did Rip Van Wrinkle and Fischer
ended it by lifting one. No runs, one
hit
Mack was safe when FrOwley
fooled but was forced at second when
Merkle lined to third base Novack
popped to Gabler and Popkins added
the final out by lifting a high one to
O'Hearn. No runs, no hits.
Second--Blakely flied to Popkins;
O'Hearn gained first on Tex Lenni-
gers bobble. Schmake then dropped
pretty sacrifice and Novack in his
hurry whipped the pill way over first
thereby letting the gentleman from
Emerald Isle gain third. The Novack-
Popkins stunt of getting them off first
worked and Schmake retired. Folker
grounded. Schlemker to Popkins. No
runs, no hits.
Dahle out, Frowley to Schmake.
Lenniger hit to first who gathered in,
unassisted. Cushing skied to OHearn.
No runs, no hits.

ed second. Munich hit stiff one to
Vordenburg, who whipped the sphere
to Cushing in time to catch Frowley
between third and second. Lenniger
nabbed him. Gabler got his second
single but died on the sacks when
Fischer pepper to Schlemker No
runs, one hit.

mond touched off a few fireworks thi:
inning, Dayton catching the spirit o
the occasion and generously lending
their aid Merkle failed to start any
thing being retired. Fischer tt
Schmake Not so Novack. Nov.
promptly cracked one of Mr.. Otey:
shoots for what looked good for
homer The strong wind, however
held the ball back and it cleared thu
dome of the left fielder by few feet
Two sacks was the best our backstol
could make off of it, Pop attempted
to sacrifice and in the excitement o
the moment no one fielded the bal
and John was safe Dahl got life OF
Schmake's bobble, at the same tim
advancing Pop to third and sending
Novack home with run number one
Lenninger walked and CUSHING
brought Popkins home with a long fl
to right. Schlem was the victim of
bit of highway robbery performed b.
Fischer. Two runs. two hits

quick order. Munich and Gabler goin
the route Of Vordenburg, Popkins an
Fischer only added an assist to TIE
Lenninger. No runs no hits.
