DrO"Ey play ana absolute REFUSAL 10
Shift their defensive positions to meet
the batting tendencies Of the Toronto
players caused Richmond another de-
feat at the hands Of Larry Lajoie's
fast-going Leafs yesterday, the score
being to 3.
And this was the final result. despite
the fact that Richmond earned one
more run than did Toronto, and that
Hanford twice parked the pellet over
the left-feld wall for home runs.
Neither OF the wallops came with men
on the sacks. though. in true Rich
mond fashion, and that figured long
way in the ultimate result.
Not only did the victory fl in fairly
we'll with the needs of the visitors. but
their pleasure was increased consid-
crably by the shifting of the prize
sign in left field twice during the con-
test. Lajoie and Schultz were the
guilty parties. and each is due addi
tional $50 for his afternoons work.
Thompson had little difficulty in
handling the locals. In but two frames
did Richmond land for more than a
single binrle, and in only one OF these
innings did they score. Frequent OPP
portunities for scoring were afforded
them. but the necessary swats were
lacking. OF. what might have been rail-
lies. were Gu; short by nifty fielding on
