an equal amount Of fun out of Tho

It was during the sixth session of
this game that Manager Billy Smith
made his eloquent remarks regarding

CONS hands when he came TO bat the
third time.
Crabhle. late of the Hopewcn club,
made his appearance before the Rich
mond fans. and should have had his
game. Umpire Chestnut certainly
gave Crabble no advantage i'm de-
cisions. to say the least, and he was
taken out of the box in the seventh
inning through no fault of his. The
first inning saw Crabble and Arragon
execute one of tho fastest doubles ever
seen around here.

Richmond scored in the second in

fence for three bags. He was thrown
out later when he stumbled on his
way back 10 the bag after Steinbren-
ner had lifted one to right field, one
which Arragon saw was too close in
for him TO attempt to register.
Richmond should have sewed the
game up in the fourth session, though
the lads only managed to get one run
with one man down, Bankston. ARA

healthy swat. delivered along at this
session, would have sewed the game
up tight.
with Richmond in the lead and Cra-
