HawekOtte Pitches Well for

Show Signs of Nervous
ness, Dropping Game, l2-1.

Strengthened by the addition of
Frank (Red) Ireton, Dick kenney's
crew of Richmond Quakers had little
or no trouble in handing out 12-tO-l
defeat to Sullivan's touted Senators
yesterday afternoon at Athletic park
in the first act of double bill.
Although the Senators showed I'M
mistakable signs of uneasiness, and
can perhaps offer a better brand of
bail under different circumstances, the
flinging OF Vordenburg who allowed
but four hits, one of them of the
scratch variety, combined with the de-
fensive and offensive work of Mr.. Ire
ton, was a combination too heavy for
Sully's crowd to buck.
Hawekotte, a 19-year-old youngster
opposing Nordy on the slab, hurled a
fine game, considering the support &C
corded him by his teammates. Rich
mond is credited with thirteen hits,
but proper fielding would have kept
the number we'll in in the small digit
line. Hawekotte famed six Quakers.
Ireton Connects.
With the exception of the work Of
Ireton, the game was devoid of any
thing unusual. Red was injected into
the Richmond lineup as pinch hitter
IN the sixth frame, and at once showed
his mettle by connecting with one OF
Hawekotte's shoots for roller down
between first and second. Jenkins
scooped up the pill and threw wild to
POttinger, but fans were unanimous
that Frank ha dthe pellet beaten d
mile anyway, so lretOn got credit for
a hit. He subsequently scored when
10
double.
Richmond broke into the score sheet
in every inning. Two runs were made
in the opening round; three runners
tailed in the succeeding inning, while
one each was the harvest in the next
pair of innings. Two and three was
the extent of the Quakers' wrecking
work in the two final sessions.
How They Scored.
Mccain and Merkle registered in
the first on hits and two errors. The
same combination, with the addition
Of Popkins turned the trick in the
next. making it five Schlemker and
Mulvaney completed the journey by
virtue Of four safe hits and bad boot
fthe Senator'S shortstop. Norden-
burg, Mccain, Lenniger, Ireton and
Schlemker added the finals after Ire
ton had injected new life into the
ranks Of the regulars.
The Senator'S score came in the
third. Knight, who. by the way, work
ed like a fiend to get revenge on his
former teammates led off was sting
ing twO-bagger to left center. Sulli-
van advanced him a base with an in
field bingle, and then G. Schweizer,
who had already achieved fame with
three errors in as many chances, hit
safely to | tt, Claude galloping home
on the crack. The other rounds the
Senators were either helpless against
Nardenbure or unable to hit past the
Quaker infield.
AS the result Of the game Red Ire
ton now leads the list Of Quaker slug
gers. Frank was up but once, and al
though his hit was rather fluky, it was
a hit nevertheless, and the batting
average list compiled today, including
yesterdays games, is led off by IretOn
with percentage of an even one
thousand. The score:
