However. since home-run hitting
has become the vogue in baseball
Hornsby has ambitions in that di-
rection. While he doesn't hope to
crack the mark set by Babe Ruth at
SO, he has designs on the National
League record. Here is the way
he puts It:
Home-Run Fever.
when the season started I didn't
give the matter of home runs a
thought. even though 1 made 21
last year. However. they started to
come my way rather easily and I
now have the home-run fever.
with the season less than half
over, have Is to my credit. Back
in 1884. so the records say. Ed Will
hanson, playing with Chicago. made
27 home runs.
That record has stood the test of
all the great hitters of the National
League for 3S years. I would like TO
break that record. and feel that I
am well on the way to set a new
home-run mark for a season in the
National League"

PITCHING BATTLE
FOR 7 INNINGS

With a display Of smarter baseball
in the waning innings, the Richmond
Giants beat ou the Bacharach Giants
at Harlan Field yesterday by the
score of 2 TO 1. the game being call
ed in the first half of the ninth. Both
teams played brilliant baseball for
seven scoreless innings, providing the
fans with one of the best exhibitions
Of the national pastime ever seen
here.
The game turned out to be a real
pitchers battle, between Harper for
the southern team and Wheeler for
the local nine, with Wheeler hav-
ing the edge. He allowed but one
hit until the fatal eighth. although
his wildness got him in several
holes, but he always managed to pull
out.
With the game a scoreless tie in
the eighth, Mason, first up for
Richmond famed, Lindsay singled,
stole second, Pettus hit a slow one
down the third base line. Davis
came in and made the throw TO-
Cummings which was wide Of first
base, the ball going into right field,
by the time Cummings had retrieved
the ball Lindsay had scored and
Pettus stopped on third. On an at
tempted squeeze play Pettus was
caught between third and home.
After Wheeler had ouched him he
dropped the ball allowing him to
score.
In the Bacharach half OF the
eighth they had a fine chance to tie
the score, Yank singled to right,
Wheeler walked. Crockett sacrificed,
on the next ball. Both runners ed
vanced and Yank scored a moment7
later on a passed ball. Johnson who
went in to run for Wheeler advanced
to third on the play. Something
went wrong with the inner workings
Of the Bacharach's team, Johnson
started for home on what looked to
be a squeeze play, but Harper
threw wide of the plate and Cum |
mings had little chance to reach |
the pitch, johnson being an easy |
out.
In the ninth the Richmond team |

STERLING DUEL

The Baynard Girls met their old
time jinx of the season last night,
the Seventh Ward girls, and battled
nine innings to a 6-6 deadlock. It
was one of those hectic see-saw
struggles with the score tied no less
than three times by the Baynard
Girls who played hard to stave off
defeat.
The game was scheduled to go
seven innings. Seventh Ward put
one in the second and two in the
third and held a two run margin
until the sixth when Baynard scored
its second run and then knotted the
numbers with one in the seventh.
In the eighth Seventh Ward tailed
twice but Baynard again evened the
count by denting the rubber for a
brace of markers. In the ninth the
Forty Acre lassies again counted
one and then Baynard made it
square for the last time. The game
was then called on account of dark
ness,
Miss Marjorie Norman was the
outstanding star OF the game with
her timely and hard hitting. She
collected a total of four safe blows,
two singles. a triple and a homer.
The homer came in the ninth and
saved Baynard from defeat. Miss
