Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1917-06-29

Toronto continues TO prove something
of a jinN TO the local club, although
the loss of yesterday afternoons game
was due principally TO the Ineffective
ness of Adams and Carmichael Each
was walloped to all corners Of the
lot by the heavy hitting Leafs for a
total of seventeen hits and fourteen
runs. Richmond, in the meantime,
though. made sufficient bingles to have
taken any game had the defense been
stronger, sarnering thirteen swats and
nine tallies.
OF the thirteen safeties, three were
nome runs. one was triple and two
were doubles. Yet most Of the long
distance swats came when the hassocks
were clear and Koehlers was the only
one that resulted in more than one run
That wallop of the catcher'S, who was
pinch hitting for Adams just before
Carmichael was sent in, was the
freakiest of freak homers. The ball
was pounded violently to whiteman on
the ground. Whiteman endeavored 10
stop il near the fence, but missed hold
ing 1t. The pellet climbed up his arm,
bounced on his shoulder and bounded
over the fence
Whiteman once more proved the one
grand little cleanup man of the fracas.
Four times during the battle he came
up Win men on the sacks and four
times he delivered. failing on the fifth
occasion as result OF Distelrs dandy
stop of his drive. His work at the
bat contributed largely to the final
result. although each of the visitors
seemed to be afraid that there was
some Law preventing them CARRYING any
hits away from Richmond in their bats.
Costello was the only man on the team
who failed To Net attleast one hincle
