on the very las, play. made a truly
great catch of n difficult hit from the
bat OF Shag Thompson. Two other

RICHMOND ISFIELD WORKS
SMOOTHLY AND SKILLFULLY
The Richmond infeld worked
smoother than Il has done since Sammy
Crane took his injured fist home for
treatment Fewster again filled in at
third. with Charlie Pick on second and
Angels Arragon at short. Not wishing
TO slight anybody. 1t Is mentioned that
Big Tim Jordan occupied the initial
corner with his usual grace and skill.
. The only bad mark against this COM
; bination came when Fewster dropped
an tnfleld fly in his cagerness to make
double play. One score resulted
from the manhandle. Except for the
miscues Of Morrisette in the very first
frame. no other errors were chalked
up against either team
Richmond scored in the opening
chapter. and the Climbers certainly
looked good. Bates and Arragon each
found Cooper for doubles after two
were out. The Grays scored in the
third on pass. sacrifice and two
singles. They forged ahead In the
fourth on the very same combination.
The Climbers tied 1t up in the sixth,
when Morrsette, after getting n single,
came in on two-base hit by, Pick.
Shorten damaged Morrisette in the
eighth when he started things with a
ripping triple to center. He scored on
a sacrifice by Haley. Onslow, who
drew pass and stole second. scored

the locals, but their efforts were coun-
