RICHARDS STARTS
RALLY WITH HOMER
Manager Lifts Ball Over Fence, Seor-
ina Two Runs, When Odds Are to
I Against Home Team-Harris' SEN
sational Work Saves Game in Thir-
tsenth-Pitchers Are Wild.

Friday afternoon, the Ansons turned,
ed by their manager, and came near
annihilating the foe. Probably the only
reason the Pilots bark was not scuttled
was because the moon was not due TO
rise until early morning. For thirteen
innings the rivals battled. and when
empire Cook called the contest because
of darkness the count was all.
Clinton hit and hit hard in the early
,ouuds. and before the end of the fifth.
i've runs had been counted against the
home nine, while the Ansons had but
one to their credit. Wildness of the
pitchers was largely responsible for the
result. Some idea of the nature OF the
poy work may be gained by studying
the summary, which shows nineteen
bases on balls from the i've pitchers
participating.
Gruno Stops Pilots March.
Beard was delegated to do the slab
work for the Ansons. but he was der
ricked after two and two-thirds in
nings, giving place to Maui. The
elongated lad from Racine Jared little
better and in the sixth Gruno was
trotted to the rubber. with the odds
70 against him. The recruit stopped
the Pilots, however, and his mates. en-
couraged by his success, went out II
win the game for him. They did nobly.
but thirteen innings were not enough.
Gruno finished the battle, and allowed
but three scattered blows Once or
twice the Pilots threatened. but some
sensational support in the late rounds
prevented serious damage.

pleasing, Martini was on the paths be-

Some Classy Fielding.
Some classy fielding saved the
Ansons from further slaughter on
several occasions. Most conspicuous
in this respect was the double play
for which Harris was responsible.

Hammerschmidt figured prominent

base pilferers at second time after
time. His throwing was perfact and
not a man took an extra base during
the afternoon.
Vision Of Slaughter.
For a few innings the spectators
were treated to a vision Of slaughter
