Manager Smith Pitches.

Just TO show the fans that he still
had some pastiminE in his system,
Manager Billy Smith got out in the
box during the last two innings and
hurled the plobule across the rubber
in grand STYLE He allowed only three
hits. two of which were scratches, and
only one run was scored by the Spi-
ders while he was offering UP his
assortment of 'baffling" benders TO
the Richmond College boys. Frank
Dobson also tried his luck at the hurl-
ing business by pitching for the Spi-
ders in the last inning, but 1t was
plain to be seen that the Westhamp-
ton coach is much better first base
man than mound artist no less than
thirteen runs being rung up on the
VirgfnianF side OF tthe column while
he was in the box. However. he af-
forded the fans a lot OF fun. and
everybodys satisfied, even Dolby.
But to get real serious, the Rich
mond College boys did not put up the
exhibition of which they are capable
of playing. AS rule. they field in
grand style, while their hitting Ia
about as good as any college in the
Old Dominion. However at times the
collegians defense completely crum-
bled. and they were decidedly off,
color in their hitting.
