counters In this frame. but during the
remainder of the contest they could
DO but little with the Richmond pitch
er. The virginians fought hard to
forge ahead in the fourth frame. but
they fell one short of even knotting
the count. and then In their half of
the frame the Rochester players pro-
ceeded to draw further away.
