INVASION. the tsrBiHfaHS EetuIHNu uoAlS
yesterday and celebrated IT by giving
Eddie Zimmerman and his bunch OF
Newark Indians to 8 drubbing In
the opening game of the series.
The victory yesterday was not due
TO any special hitting on the part or
the local FASTENERS, but 1t was just
case OF being too much Russell for
the Redmen. He was In superb form,
and during the major portion Of the
contest he had the invading crew
eating from the palm of his hand.
Allan had his curves breaking to per-
lection, while during the larger part
of the game his control was almost
perfect. Only six safeties were regis
tered by his opponents and only on
two occasions did the visitors manage
TO garner more than one an Inning.
This merely goes to show that with
good hurting the local team looks as
good as any in the Barrow circuit,
and they generally win when play
ing behind a dependable hurler.
In First Division.
BY winning the opener with the In
dams the yirginians again assembled
into the first division. where Manager
Dunn says they are going TO remain
the balance of this season. The To-
Gals are but few points below Rocsa-
ester. while they are still within strik-
Ing distance of the top. A few more
days could easily find them occupying
the summit.
The contest was fast and snappy
one. and on numerous occasions both
made beautiful plays. Little Angelo
Arragon came in for some pTaudits
when his fast fielding held thinner
mans easy triple to a single, and then
proceeded to throw him out at second
base. This prevented at least one
tally, and probably two or three
s.Shag' Thompson and Johnny Bates
also pulled down some nice ones In
the outer gardens
In the opening inning the side was
retired on Ave pitched balls, the head
of the batting order proving easy outs.
However. after one man had been
retired in the second. Kraft came
forth with triple, and scored tho
initial ran Of the game on an iHAeld
out Another run was added by the
.Redmen In the tsiird when Emsman
led off with a three hase knock and
came home when Teofey contributed
. single.
Sew Up Game In Fifth.
The visitors retained this two run
lead until the fourth. when Richmond
managed 10 send one runner across
the rubber. Pick started things of
with a single and went To second
when Bates drew free pass Pick
went to third and Bates died at Sec
ond when Arragon sent a grounder
TO Tooley. the Cuban taking first. Pick
scored on Jordan's grounder TO the
infield, and Ball ended the fun with
another infield ball. In the fifth the
Virginians sewed up the contest. when
four consecutive bingles, together
with an error and hit batsman. Melted
them a quartet OF runs. After Crane
had struck out, Schaufie singled over
mira base and advanced to second
when Ensman hit Russell on the
shoulder. Thompson gent a grounder
to Tooley, who tossed Russell out at
second. Pick then sent q line drive
over second base that scored Schaufie.
Johnny Bates proceeded TO come
across with another timely bingie. and
Thompson scored. A throw was made
to third In an effort to catch .'Shag''
Thompson, but the throw got away
from Zimmerman, and the local out
fielder counted. Bates taking second.
Johnny scored on Arragon's single to
center. but Jordan ended the side by
grounding out. After this the locals
frequently got men on the paths. but
none OF them was able to complete
the circuit. However, the days work
had been done; for the runs scored
in the NTH frame alone proved suffi-
Gent to beat the Indians.
