RICHMOND EAGLES
COME FROM BEHIND
To BEAT VISITORS

After Connersville Eagles had bat
collected six runs in the first four
innings OF the game, Richmond Eagles
came to the front in the fourth, fifth
and seventh innings in Sundays game
and defeated the visiting team by the
score of Is to 8. Only by the good
pitching Of Flaherty did the local club
win out.
Harmon started on the hill for the
locals and was getting along fine until
he hit Peters, Connersville catcher,
wit ha pitched ball An error by Red
dinghaus and clean single to right
field by Clark enabled the visitors to
score two runs in the second inning.
TIE side was retired in order in the
third inning, but in the fourth frame
Connersville got to Harmon again and
collected mixup of hits, one base on
balls, and benefited by another error
on Reddinghaus. When the session
was over, the visiting Eagle team had
tailed six times.
mound by Manager J. Logan in the
midst of the inning, but the short no
tice was too much for Minner, and he
soon gave way to F1aherty, who was
playing in the outfeld at the time.
Flaherty took the mound at once and
seemed to have plenty of control on
the ball during the remainder OF the
contest.
Same Tough Luck.
Harmon had the same tough luck
which he had in the game on the To-
ccl diamond two weeks ago. HIS
breaks were good, but it seemed that
the opposing batsmen were able TO
! connect almost at will.
Z In the Richmond half OF the fourth
inning, Clements hit safely through
short for one base and was followed
by Minner with a Texas Lacquer to left
field. J, Logan hunted them along
and was out, Wanley to Clark. Eu-

through the box. Hiatt stepped to~the
1,late and brought Eubanks in with a
hard triple to left, and later, Hubbard
ccored Hiatt with a single past third
base.
The big inning came in the seventh
when Fitzgibbons hit safely to left Tor
one base. Clements fouled out to TAI
bott at third; Minner hit safely to
Center field, then hits by ]. Logan
and Eubanks to left field and short
stop respectively brought in the nun
ners on base. Logan and Eubanks
scored on a hit ball by Hiatt, which
Wanley muffed

Byrkett Absent
Don Byrkett was absent from tht

Greys to play at Eaton, o. However
Eubanks filled his shoes at first Dase
neatly, without a single bobble and ne
also came through with two hits al
opportune times.

such a good showing at Connersville
week ago, was absent from the fray
"Toe" Hiatt, who played with The
locals two years ago, was IN the line
up Sunday, playing his first game 10

was playing third. Logan threw tn
runner out at first, the play bringin
him up half way to the home plate
The runner on second started TO
third base with nobody covering tn
bag. Eubanks threw the ball bacl
toward the bag Immediately, but
Logan reached his position in time t
catch the ball on the first bounce an
at the same time tag the runner GU
in a close play.
Logan and MINER figured IN a cleN
or attempt at a double steal in tn
seventh frame. Logan led off and wa
trapped between second and frs
while Minner worried the Conner:
Vile second and first basemen in flu,
ried efforts to steal home. Loga
reached second after the Connersviu
throw was made to get Minner, hut tn
