Thomas Royal Miller. Colt center
fielder. once moro forged 10 the front
ranks OF the Virginia League hitters
yesterday afternoon. and. with the aid
OF his trus'y willow, drove in the run
which cliuciied the Goober- Richmond
exhibition for thn local -ninc. The
epic event occurred in the very first
inning of the game.
The final score of to / in favor
Of the Colts means little; the game
was cnectually placed on tho coolest
of ice after the clout by Miller Ed
Emery and his charges determined to
take bit of iierccncss out of the
Colts attack by a final win in the city,
suffered such a reverse OF feeling af-
ter the Richmonders had been at bat
for the first time that they We're ut
terly unable to como back. and played
only half-hcartcd game TT best af-
ter the first inning. And now the Goob-
ers go back TO their city with the low
est standing in the league. and the
Colts fattcneu their average 10 the
extent OF hfty-threc points--all through
paw jackson.
JACKSON LIMBERS UP
AND PITCHES GOOD GAME
Jackson. who worked about all Of
the stiffness out of his arm on Fri
day. pitched beautiful game OF bail
yesterday. and held the Goobers to
three scattered hits. lie never let the
of any particular hatsman and, when
he did the bail possessed that amount
OF camounage which baiiled most of the
on the other hand. Mullen. who start
cd the game for tho visitors. was
i0 0nins three times in the qnsthird
speedily ierkod out OF tho box during
tho first. and I.ariscy sent into tho
game This was n decidedly wise move.
and probably prevented the Colt score
from reaching two figures.
For. althoMFn Lariscy went in cold,
= fairly ,iy present2ble game for the rest
runs scored b. the locals. only enc
was earned. Wood was the infielder
who is responsible for .hc third r,.n.
