The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-08-28
BY ERNEST POLLARD.

Manager Smith and his crippled
Nirginians viii remain on hostile soil
two more weeks before shaking the
dust OF the north from their shoe soles
and turning their optics homeward.
The boys Will be in King Georges do
main throughout the week, playing
the Toronto Maple Leaves the first
three days and the Montreal Royals
during the week END.
Our morning contemporary claims
to be giving exclusive baseball food
to thefans daily Ii the baseball fol-
lowers In Richmond depended upon
this food they would doubtless die of
hunger. We wonder If our contem-
porary knows the definition OF the
word exclusive.
The announcement yesterday morn
Ing in The Firginian to the effect that
Ste!ny Steinbrenner win be out of the
lineup for the remainder OF the
season was a sad blow to Richmond
fans, The boy has been putting up a
great game for the Virginians and
his loss will be felt,
Our morning contemporary con-
tnues to refer to the Richmond club
as the Climbers. which is about as
apropos as applied TO a legless Jack
Rabbit. The club hasn't done much
since this name was tackled to 1t.
Hack Eibel and Everett Bankston
are leading for the prizes to be
awarded by the Richmond club for
the best batting percentage while
away. Bank Is leading the outfielders
while Hack has been the most con-
sistent batter on the infield. although
Steinbrenner is not far behind.
Lefty Crabble is leading the pitch
ers so far, and unless the other hur-
lers get busy he will cop the suit case
He won both of Richmond's games
last week. On one occasion he went in
with the score TO 0 against the Vir-
ginians, and won out. There is lots of
good pitching left in the old mans
arm.
The news that emanated from Buffa-
10 Saturday to the effect that Nc
kenny desires to purchase his release
from the Richmond club is the most
welcome bit of information received
here in some time.
With Ross out Of the game it now
looks as II Crabble is the most de-
pendable pitcher on tho local staff.
Leake has been going bad on the road.
while Heating has done practically
nothing for the club. Heating has
stun galore when he feels like un-
corking 1t, but 1t now looks that he
is holding 1t in for some reason.
Leake is good pitcher and he may
come through in fine style within the
next day or so. He has just left a dis
astrous week behind him. and Il n

misfortune this year 10 turn his hair
gray The old ink has iurked in his
midst from the beginning OF the In
ternational League season. and II now
looks as II IT will hover over the
Richmond camp for the remainder of
the season.
AS a result Of Steinbrenner's In
jury. Manager Smith will have to
make some shifts in his lineup.
Whether he will keep Hack Eibel on
second base and play Mickey Killiher
at first liz n matter OF speculation. II
seems as if the team could get along
much better by shifting Hendryx to
third, putting Mickey in centerfield
and Captain McDermott in shortstep.

and first, respectively.

brow of Bullet Joe Bush. BY hurting

News has been received to the eff
feet that Ty Cobb will have to go to
& hospital to have his tonsils removed.
But dear readers. 1t Will not some I'M
til after the end of the season, and
he will continue to remain in the line
up and cause iris Speaker some wor-
rs.
The Georgia Peach has been gain
ing ground recently and If Speaker
doesn't watch his steps the inevitable
one will be leading the American Lea
que in batting ere many days elapse.
There Is still more than a month of
playing and Tyrus still has chance
to occupy the coveted position when
the curtain falls on the 1916 season.
Georgia may have it's Cobb. Mary
land it's Home Run Baker, and
South Carolina it's Joe jackson. but
Virginia can boast of one of the most
sensational young players in major
company He is none other than Dave
Robertson. who halls from Ports
mouth, whom experts declare will
even eclipse Ty Cobb in time.
