Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1917-08-18

Richmond showed a complete re-
versal OF form in celebration of La
dies Day yesterday and jumped Young
Mr.. Hoyt and the slightly older Mr..
Stryker for a total of eight runs.
three Of which we're homers: while
Donahue treated them much as the To-
Gals had been served on Thursday. and
permitted only four runs.
Donahue hurled an excellent game
throughout. but found the going rather
hard several times. However. In such
instances, his support frightened. and
threatening rallies were cut short. This
was true. particularly OF the last four
sessions. in which the locals made
three speedy double plays and blankcd
the Royals. In one OF them, Donahue
had the sacks loaded. Knabe's fast
fielding of Holdens wallop resulting
In a double and retiring the side. as
McAuley romped across the plate with
a run that did not count.
Hoyt started for Montreal. and got
into difficulties Immediately. for Charlie
Hanford selected a likely looking one
and peeled it over the fence for a
homer. The ball probably was one OF
the hardest hit swats made here this
season. Eibers clout to the center
field fence and wally Schang's hit
over rIght-neld fence are the only
ones that appeared to eclipse II In
length Hanford's drive cleared the
top OF the last eign in left field by
at least fifteen feet.
After that. Hoyt settled down. and
Richmond found II difficult to do any
scoring. although hits were made in
both the second and the third sessions.
In the fifth, however. after Montreal
had gone ahead. the locals came back
fad
Reynolds flew OF to left field. but
Donahue got a life when Zimmerman
wobbled on his chance. Hanford then
singled to center. advancing him.
Then up came :IcGaffigan. Mac has
never been touted as hard hitter,
but he certainly walloped the pellet
that Hoyt offered him. The ball clear
ed left field fence easily and three runs
resulted. Clemens then hit through
short, and Bankston's single to center
advanced him TO third. koehler was
walked. filling the bases. McDermotts
fielders choice scored Clemens. but re-
suited in Zimmerman retiring Bank
ston at third. Knabe hit to left, and
koehier counted, McDermott being re-
tired at the plate in an effort to score
on the same play.
STRIKER Yields Homo Run.
At the start OF the sixth. Stryker was
sent in. Reynolds was the first local
to face him and gave the hurler rather
q shock by clouting the pill over the
fence for Richmond's third homer. In
the seventh, another run was added
to the total. Bankston doubled to left
and made third on wild pitch. only
to be retired at the plate on the felder's
choice that gave first to koehler. Nc
Dermctt then doubled between left and
center. and Koehler romped home.
Montreal scored first in the opening
session McAnlev hit center. Mo-
ran drove a fly to Hanford. and the
fielder, in an effort to double McAuley
off first, threw high over Koehler's
head. and McAuley made second. Zim-
norman famed, but Smith hit to right
and McAuley scored.
Donahue allowed neither hit nor
a run after that Until the fifth. After
Slattery had been retired. Damrau
poled one over left-feld fence for a
homer. Madden was passed. Hoyt fam
ned, McAuley walked and Moran sent
all home with q triple to center. be-
ing run down himself moment later
between third and home.
McGaftigan, Knabe and Koehler hgur-
ed in a fast double play in the sixth
that cut mon off the sacks. McGaffigan
doubled Madden at second and retired
Stryker at first in the seventh. and
Knabe pulled the game play on thinner
man and Holden in the eighth.
Richmond's play was much better
yesterday than on Thursday. Clemens
landed for the greatest number Of
bingles, but Hanford was the hardest
swatter. McDermott and McGaf1gan
featured in the field for the locals,
while McAuley and Zimmerman each
made dandy fielding plays for Mon
treal.
The game to-day. the last Of the
present series and the final one Of the
present home series. will begin at
o'clock. The team then will go on the
road, to be away until Labor Day.
