Showing a reversal of form such as
would indicate vast amount OF
strength that has been allowed TO re-
main dormant. certainly in other re-
cent games. Richmond turned the
tables on Toronto yesterday after
noon, and won the final battle OF the
series by a score of to 3. The vic
tory hardly could be termed an easy
one, for the Leafs made number OF

after the locals had secured an excel
lent advantage. However. Enright

porters also came 10 his assistance
when their help was needed. and the
rallies were cut short in quick order.
often with double play.
Those double plays were feature OF
the contest yesterday. Richmond maxi
ing no less than four and the Leafs
Earnering one. Each of the bi-rctire-
ments rung up by Richmond counted
materially in holding the Leafs to the
smaller end of the score. Art Koch

is absent from the club on account Of
the death OF his mother. made one OF
them unassisted, bagGinG Thompson's
line drive in the ninth and stepping
on the bag that Lalonge had just va

slightly, and Murray found the after
noon profitable one when he won
strangle hold on a $50 check by clout-
ing ono of Enrights fast ones against
the prize sign in left field.
Blackburn. who failed to hit in his
usual form during tho first games of
the series. came through yesterday
with two binglcs. one OF them a slash
ing triple down the first base line.
Lena also pilfercd the only sack stolen
off Bill Reynolds during the afternoon.
Enright Hurls Good Game.
Enright hurled an excellent game.
In spite OF the fact that he was hit
rather hara. He hit man and walk ID
three, in addition to making a bad toss
to first base. but the chief cause for
the difficulties in which he sometimes
found himself was his failure to pre-
vent the punching Of two or three bin
giles in single frame. With such
occurrences. however. his support
frightened, and the rallies were cut
short.
Leake famed six locals and passed
, but three, but he also found II i'm
possible 10 prevent successive hits in
single innings. The location of the
drives made by Richmond prevented
doubling out the men on the sacks. and
runs resulted.

sion. Leakc was walked. and Trues-
